For a starting price of $30,000, 22 people can dine for eight hours (or larger groups can take turns in shorter shifts) over any 100- by 50-foot area that is accessible for a crane and a truck with a trailer. Although the views are great, this is no white tablecloth restaurant. There isn’t a bathroom, and guests are strapped into leather seats that are secured to the dining table and connected to a crane, which lifts the group. The center of the table has a walking platform that can accommodate five staff members to prepare and serve food, take photos, or lead a meeting or sales pitch. Food and service is not included, and hosts can bring in their own chef. Branding and sponsorship opportunities are also available. For a Nokia event held in Las Vegas in March, the company displayed its logo on both sides of the structure’s ceiling and guests’ chair backs.
A High-Flying Dining Experience
For hard-to-impress guests who’ve been there, done that, Dinner in the Sky offers a chance to dine in one of the more unusual (and expensive) venues around—a table suspended 180 feet in the air. Developed in Brussels in 2006, the service launched in the U.S. and Canada earlier this summer.
