Skyline offers a "delightful atmosphere" with a blend of "refined and stylish" decor. Diners rave about the "superb" food, particularly the shrimp and grits, salmon, and scallops. With "fantastic service" and "beautiful views," it's perfect for special occasions. While some mention loud music, the "outdoor rooftop option" provides a serene alternative.

    We had an excellent experience at Skyline this evening celebrating our 24th Anniversary! The food was delicious, everything the coconut shrimp appetizer our starter salads and our entrees were delicious! Pecan crusted salmon and the pork ribeye! Just excellent! Sean was our server & provided us with exceptional service! Not every special occasion needs a steaks I can truly say this was one of the best meals we have had out in a long time! Can’t wait to go back again!

    We had a wonderful experience at the Skyline. We had an early dinner, as we had tickets to a show later that evening. It was warm enough that we were able to eat out on the covered patio with the fireplaces going to just a bit of heat - great ambiance and beautiful views. Although not what I would call extensive, the wine/drink menu was impressive with some excellent choices for both beer, cocktails, and wine by the glass and bottle. We started with the crispy pork belly as an appetizer and were not disappointed. It was enough for the 3 of us to have several bites - the sweetness of the orange glaze offered a subtle but delicious enhancement. We had 3 different entrées: the stuffed trout, seared sea scallops over risotto, and the pork ribeye; all were excellent. The addition of goat cheese to the vegetables that came with the pork ribeye added a unique flavor that was delicious, particularly when mixed with the sorghum glaze on the pork. We finished by sharing an apple crisp, which was loaded with apples that retained good texture, was well spiced and had a great crisp topping. My only complaint would have been the graham cracker crust that was a bit dry and bitter. I would have preferred a flakey pie crust, or perhaps a shortbread crust if anything. Except for a brief period at the beginning when our waiter "disappeared" for several minutes, the service was professional and attentive. Our waiter also was very knowledgeable regarding the various menu items and made some good suggestions when asked. I would definitely recommend The Skyline.

    Skyline was an excellent choice for my birthday dinner. My husband and I were seeking a new restaurant and happily discovered it. The atmosphere was delightful; not overly formal, but refined and stylish. While I'm not a food critic, our meal was superb. My husband appreciates a well-prepared shrimp and grits dish, and I have a similar fondness for salmon; we were both extremely satisfied. The food's flavor, portion size, and presentation were all exceptional. The staff were friendly, courteous, and efficient. I cannot recall our server's name, but her service was outstanding! We will certainly return and recommend Skyline to our friends. We eagerly anticipate enjoying the rooftop dining area in the springtime. A perfect discovery!

    We sat outside on the enclosed patio, next to a fire pit. The meal was fantastic. Best fried oysters I’ve had. And the roasted Brie … we could have stopped at the appetizers , but didn’t. Our entrees; pork tenderloin and roasted trout were superb . But we couldn’t stop… we both had the desert special, pumpkin cheesecake with pecan caramel topping. I’m still full, and will definitely repeat.

    Dinner was very good, our server attentive and accommodating but the James Brown Christmas album was a bit much and dampened the spirit of Christmas Eve and finner

    2nd Christmas Eve with great experience! Cruise ship quality team there! Only little thing I could add for Christmas would be a tree 🎄 and small festive table decor
