Vertigo

I wanted to treat my parents to something special ...to show off the city that I've called "home" for the past two years. Bangkok has some amazing eateries, but I wanted something really unique. I made reservations for Banyan Tree's "Vertigo". 

Entrance to the first of 3 staircases!

What makes this place so special? It's al fresco -- meaning diners enjoy the outdoor open air -- and it's on the 61st floor. ^_^

Entrance lobby lamp (60th Floor):

View from the 60th Floor:

We arrived before sunset, so we could enjoy both the day and night views.

Tables with a view! 

Sunset...

The bartender:

More views..showcasing the Chao Phraya river:

We were taken to our table, which was right on the edge of the veranda. From our table, the view was unbelievable!

Candle and flower: 

My drink -- mint mojito (no alcohol):

My dad took a picture... it was a bit windy..but I really like this photo...

We were treated to an appetizer, tararind bean sherbet, bread and our main dish.

Sherbet:

My main dish -- snow fish:

Of course I ordered dessert! I selected an American classic-- a chocolate brownie with vanilla bean ice cream. 

Yum:

This was a great experience. Highly recommended!
