The Great Wheel at Pier 57 in Seattle Offers Meal Service for Riders | Eater Seattle

"I observed that the iconic Seattle Great Wheel has added four-course dinners served on its gondolas as part of the ride experience, with cabins reaching about 175 feet above ground and offering views overlooking Elliott Bay. The offering is pitched as a way to enjoy a restaurant-like meal while staying socially distanced from other diners, and each gondola seats four people with reservations handled through Resy. The attraction has struggled over the past year—both from the pandemic and waterfront infrastructure problems after the adjacent Pier 58 collapsed in September—causing the wheel to close for several months before reopening in early 2021, and the sky-high dining feature now hopes to boost interest amid those challenges." - Gabe Guarente
