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 my third visit. Wonderful and cost, great seating and fireplaces, sunset view. Cocktail Drinks excellent and great wine list. Food so tasty, but need a couple of additional options for vegans. Music could be tones down a notch and lighting raised a notch. Otherwise fun and perfect for a fete a gets or group gathering.
