Amazing views
A great place to watch a sunset looking out over the eastern suburbs and out to Melbourne city and the Yarra Valley. The gardens are lovely and the staff were friendly. Friends are having a wedding reception there later this year.

Wow....I had heard of Sky High but never visited. I was told it was a tourist place and was expecting something like the penguin island. I was completely wrong. It has a proper restaurant with a full a la carte menu, happy and knowledgeable staff, a full wine list and proper chefs. The food was fantastic - aged eye fillet was cooked perfectly and my boyfriend had the lamb which was juicy and looked fantastic. The restaurant was packed, a little noisy but I prefer that than a dead quiet restaurant with no atmosphere. I was lucky enough to get a table near the window and the views were stunning. Almost got carried away with the occasion and proposed to my boyfriend but waited for him to pop the question instead. No luck though.....boys are so dumb!! Actually, there was a wedding going on upstairs at the time which put me off initially as I thought we would get second rate service and the food would take ages but I was proved wrong again. I highly recommend anyone to eat at Sky High, we loved it......
