Seductive Food and Royal Service

by WadeFromBellaire at Citysearch

I am surprised to read so many negative reviews of Skyline Bar & Grill. My fiancee show up after making our reservation, and were seated almost immediately at a beautiful, corner window table. We ordered martinis, which were brought immediately. They were delicious and well-made. The menu is brief, but we truly enjoyed our appetizers and the wonderful steaks that we ordered. We enjoyed a very romantic evening view of Downtown Houston while talking and sampling appetizers, drinks, and steaks. The service was on cue, yet not intrusive. We both truly enjoyed the romantic experience.

• Pros: Excellent Steaks and Creative Appetizers

Go somewhere else

this restaurant gets by only on its location. the food is almost non-existant, yes I realize Houston restaurant customers are accustomed to huge servings, but you should not go home from a $200 meal still hungry and feeling mistreated.

try anotherj downtown houston restaurant for your next special occasion dinner

• Pros: nice view
• Cons: expensive, crappy service, poor food quality

Nothing exceptional about it...

From the moment that we got to the hotel everything went wrong. We had dinner reservations for a birthday celebration for 13 guests at 9:00pm, due to the valet (who wouldn't take our car) we were late 20 minutes. By the time we got up to the restaurant the manager was very rude and pushy, didn't give us any time to actually sit down and look at the menu and was constantly rushing us to order. The service was terrible, the wait staff was very unprofessional. The waiter didn't go over the specials and didn't even take our order (the manager did) and forgot to bring us bread. The menu doesn't give you much selection and the quality of the food is very poor. When we got our food, it tasted like it was old (the fish was not fresh) and it was prepared very poorly. When it was time to get our tab, it took forever and since we had a large party the 18% gratuity was already included. I figured that since our service was so bad that maybe the food would make up for it, but that was not the case. The only good thing that this restaurant has to offer is the good view. Other than that, I would not recommend this restaurant.
