Extreme Dining Mile High Club
Welcome back!
While it may not be a mile high, it certainly could seem so when you’re dining at more than 150 feet (50 meters) in midair — suspended by a crane with nothing between you and the ground but a small platform beneath your feet, and a seatbelt to keep you strapped in.
While it sounds completely batty, Dinner in the Sky is becoming the latest must-have dining experience for the Uber rich. For a mere $12,000 US and up, you can create your own grub a la high with breathtaking scenery — dining at your private portable table designed to seat 22.
Reviewers say forget about chatting with your neighbor — the winds at 150 feet make quiet conversation near impossible, so you better be prepared to yell.
Breakfast in the sky, lunch in the sky, cocktails in the sky, meeting in the sky … the only limit to the maximum 8 hour experience is your imagination.
Dinner in the Sky can include a 2nd crane with platform — or more if desired — for entertainment such as music to heighten your magical moments even further, or presentations like a car.
The table is about 30 by 16 feet (9 by 5 meters), weighs a whopping 11,000 pounds (5,000 kilos), and can be rotated 180 degrees.
Based in Belgium, the restaurant is entirely mobile to most of Europe — at a golf course, race track, castle, vineyard, historical site, anywhere there is a surface of approximately 1600 square feet (500 meters) that can be secured. Of course, authorization by the owner is required.

Needing to eat at 150ft in order to either enjoy yourself or feel good about yourself by telling someone you ate in the air…very sad for you. Paying someone a boatload of money to do it…please, please do not procreate.
Totally weird! But I love it. Sign me up

what a stupid useless stunt
Bathroom?
I’ve hesitated in asking a booth-full of people to slide out of a booth at Denny’s so I could use the restroom, I can’t imagine how awkward it would be to ask a crane operator to lower everyone to the ground so I can pee.
these people are really crazy.
what happens if you need the toilet?
Hi Deborah,
I suppose no one has yet stood up to take a stroll after a hearty meal eh?:-)I wonder what diners would do if one of them chokes on a piece? Or if passing birds drop their poop on the food?
–Durano, done!
Hehe, I actually think it could be rather fun, Billy, but you won’t find me ‘dishing out’ that kind of cash to experience it
Agreed, Ryan
Each to their own, right D4ve
Too funny, Petty, it was one of the first thoughts that struck me, and was wondering if/when someone would mention that
Perhaps, Petnos, but I bet they had fun doing it
Exactly, Peter. The photo towards the end that shows the full crane also displays some tents below where they likely had porta-potties, but it would mean lowering the entire table to the ground.
Hi Durano
It seems they’ve already prepared for anyone who wants to stand up by strapping them into their seats 
I didn’t read anything on their website for any medical facilities on-site though.

I for one think this would be extremely awesome! Especially if you were suspended over some cool scenery like a waterfall or a cliff or a beach.
Definitely a situation where you’d want to go to the bathroom beforehand.
Also, nobody’s commented on the second rig, just for the piano player. Truly a master touch in my opinion.
I agree, Dagfooyo, if this was held over some incredible scenery, it would make for an experience to be remembered for a long time to come
Hehehe, washroom break first-hand would be a must, and they no doubt have facilities on-ground. It wouldn’t surprise me that they actually make some routine drops down for that very purpose.
And yes, I thought that was a great touch for the second crane for entertainment as well
ohh! Crazy people
It’s definitely an unusual concept, Dastin
Oh my gosh, that scares me just looking at it. But for people that don’t mind heights, I bet it would be fun.
Looks like an accident waiting to happen.
Certainly not for those with a fear of heights, Michelle
Possibly, Downstreamer, but as long as the crane is in good operating condition, I don’t think the risks would be very high. I myself have yet to hear of a crane accident for which its load has dropped, but that doesn’t mean to say it has never happened.
they wont need a backroom… they make them ‘go’ before they go up or they hold it… not like they are gonna be up there for that long of a time.
