I'm afraid of heights, but a blow job in the rain might be nice. Maybe should take the missus one night, can the nanny go as well, are nannies welcome.
I thought your nanny was booked? Well there goes another money making venture down the toilet. Just one day you may have to work.

Sup':
Went to Sirocco's only for drinks. Awesome view. Drinks were good. Had a stoli martini, while my other friends had apply martini's and grapa.
The entire atmosphere is cool. They had a jazz band playing as your walk out and couple that with the view, it's a good place to grab a drink and enjoy the sites.
Talked to the hostess and was told that to book for dinner on teh weekend, you need 4 day avdanced notice and for the week days, 2 days will do.
Will definitely go back for dinner and will post my comments afterwards.

The Post says they've added a whiskey, oyster, wine and cigar bar. Anyone tried these yet?

Yes, the new inside bar operation "Distil" is now open. It's an impressive room with a lot of glass, a great view and classy ambience with comfortable seating. It has an outside deck, which is handy for warming up because the inside aircon is very cool. This new lounge is on the north face of the dome so the view is a change of pace from the outside bar, and ensures that you can do cocktails and/or snacks without worrying about the weather. They serve raw oysters, but I don't believe that oysters travel well so I have not tried them.
I dined at Sirocco again last week, and my earlier opinion is unchanged... the food ranges from edible to questionable on my scale and is far too expensive. The wine list pricing is particularly offensive, with few interesting choices and outrageous markups. (Penfolds Kanoonga shiraz retails for 1,350 but will set you back 3,500++ at the dome). If you must eat there, stick to the simple "hard to screw up" items like rack of lamb and bring your own bottle (corkage is 1,000) or drink beer.
And the flatware wins a prize for worst in town... the handles are triangular in profile which makes the utensils uncomfortable to use. (Goofy flatware design is one of my peeves... but likely doesn't bother most people). I have never understood why so many designers decide they have to trick up the tableware in order to improve the customer experience....
If you don't mind standing for a while, the outside bar is definitely a rush and worth visiting... but I would resist the temptation to dine there and order the bar snacks like satay instead.

Thanks for the info. Outrageous wine markups seem to be the norm in high-end restaurants (it's just as bad at Maha Naga), but a whiskey bar appeals to me so I'll have to check it out next time I'm in town.

DF,
right on the nail.
I took some friends last night. 6 of us. OK OK we hit the cocktails, and we had four bottles of wine (lower end prices at THB1,900 to THB2,500each), but we managed to run up a THB27,000 bill.
The steak was excellent. The foi gras superb!
Pasta was dodgy. The fish was small and tasteless.
Great views, attentive service. Black Jazz singer with the biggest arse I have ever seen.
Rain stopped play at 11.00 p.m.
Go for the view and the drinks. It is the best view in BKK.

Regarding going just for drinks. I take it you don't need a reservation or anything? Just show up? Thinking of stopping by with a TG one evening, before heading out to dinner somewhere else later. Do they get an after-work "happy hour" type crowd at 6:00-7:00? Or does it not get busy until later?

No rez required for the bar, inside or out.... just show up. They do enforce a nominal dress code, to keep the backpackers at bay. Prime time is 6-7pm because that way you get the daytime view, the sunset and the night view.... later the crowd seems to thin out rather than build up. Guaranteed to impress your TG.

Met one of the waitresses on her day off. Some additional info.
1. If it rains they move everyone into the club - Distil - but as it is too small they also use the corridor in the dome. If you complain they will let you go with no charge including all your drinks.
2. They are building an Italian restaurant in the Dome which will be open in 3 months.
3. The coloured crooner has been sacked and replaced by a girl. (Supposedly he used to tell the children to piss off if they got in the way while is was singing table to table.)
4. The house music DJ at Distil (who was being paid Bt50,000 a night!!) was sacked after less than 2 weeks and has been replaced by - you guessed it - a hip hop DJ (probably costing Bt1,000 a night)
5. The food IS cooked on the same floor as the restaurant (not brought up from the ground floor as someone else posted)
6. The facilities within the building are still not complete. No gym, no swimming pool at the moment... so give the hotel/service apartments a wide berth.
