We had someone with allergies at our table and the server went to some trouble to find something that he could safely eat. Since no one could get the seafood or fish options, the server also offered to replace the shrimp in the pad thai with double chicken. The beet and pear salad, and the out of bounds chicken salad were delicious.

Never disappoints! We have come to BARO a number of times for team lunches and dinners. If you are a smallish group (we were 5) order the “Eat Like Paul” you get all the great dishes in one. Always order extra Big Mac Empanadas and the Martinis

What an incredible experience 😊 Skylight exceeded my hopes, let alone my expectations. I love the casual, comfortable yet sophisticated environment, the perfect lighting, the extra high ceiling and cityscape through the tall windows, and the comfortable choice of seating. I also love the mix of comfy benches, comfy couches, and comfy chairs along with more traditional seating and a beautiful bar in the middle.However the best part was the food and service. The menu is exotic yet approachable, and the staff is wonderful. It's obvious that management is out to create a complete casual dining and lounging experience. This is not just a place we will go back to, it's a place we intend to become regulars at. I can't wait to enjoy a weekend evening with live music or a DJ.Thank you!

This is a classic diner style venue from 1944! Food is competent, comforting and tasty. Decent beer and wine selection along with some fun cocktails if that’s your wicket. We were entertained by a sole guitar/singer act with a contemporary alt jam. There are other artists and jazz music on different days. Staff are efficient friendly and fun. A great casual venue for food drink and music. Wonderful central location, inside feels a world away from Yonge & Bloor. Cheers!
