Just ate lunch today at Arthur's.  The buffet, which included chicken, roasted pork, veggies, dessert, salad, soup, and more was only $6.95!

They have really renovated this place!  The sanitation grade was a friendly 97.0 (I don't think the old Top of the Tower Rest ever had a 97!).   The food was excellent, and of course the views of downtown CBD, State Gov't complex, and Glenwood south were amazing!  Check it out if you have time.


PS-As with most places, the prices go up at dinner.

Just to put all of the rumors down...did it rotate?  No - that's what I thought.  It never ceases to amaze me how long this rumor's lasted. :-)

I'm not sure why people want to think that it rotates.

Another curiosity:  Downtown Raleigh has three high-rise restaurants (Capital City Club, Cardinal Club, and Arthur's.)  How many more high-rise restaurants does North Carolina have?

That's the restaurant on top of the Clarion, right? Here's why:

1. The building is round.
2. The building is round.
3. The building is round.


That and, I heard someone say that it used to rotate but they stopped that a while ago. I could have sworn that I read somewhere (though it could have been a less reputable source like an online forum) that they were going to restore the restaurant's rotation with the renovations.

My friend who lives in Raleigh says it used to rotate.. i'm not sure how sure he is on that though.

I've been in Raleigh 38 years. It never rotated.

You would think there would be a few in Charlotte, but there is only one that I know of.  

One of the more interesting restaurants is the Speedway Club on top of Lowes motor speedway.  You get a very good view of the racetrack and surrounding territory.   Unfortunatly you have to be a club member, or know someone who is, to gain access.

Check out my website I took some pictures from up there a couple weeks ago.

Our food experience wasnt the best, but the view is definitely nice.

I'll have to definitely check it out.  How was parking I wonder?
