Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2009 Score: 13.5/20 "What a spinout: a revolving restaurant that doesn't rely solely on what's beyond its windows. Inside this chic, modern, up-scale eyrie in Black Mountain's Telstra tower, Kurt Neumann (former sous-chef at Ottoman Cuisine and Artespresso) is valiantly resisting tourist cliches with a menu that sizzles with interest (and - ouch! - high prices)"

Gourmet Traveller 2008 Australian Restaurant Guide "Welcome to the top of the world. Or of Canberra, at any rate. "

Sydney Eats 2008 "At last we can have great food, wine and service on top of Black Mountain - all with nice views"

Canberra Times Bryan Martin, 4-10-06 "the restaurant looks great, extensively refurbished, modern, classy and moving (it does take a while to get settled with the rotation). We tossed a coin to see who should dine backwards and were seated as North Canberra sparkled past. The menu was concise, but interest-packed lots of late winter goodies with a very contemporary tilt. ... I am happy to report that Alto, which opened in July, is a fabulous restaurant that just happens to have the best views in Canberra. It is certainly worth the short trip to experience again and again."
