Went to Six and Sky last night for 3rd time. Once again, the food was excellent. However, the staff still needs work. The greeters are not professional or friendly. For the 3rd time, we had to ask for a server to help us. We sat more than 5 minutes after being seated without water, drink order, anything. If you market yourself as fine dining and charge prices for fine dining, your service needs to be excellent. read more

Just had our first meal here. Everything was better than expected. Service was top notch and the food was perfection, starting with the amazing bread service, and then the filet mignon Oscar and the seared scallops, and the bananas foster beignets for dessert. Highly recommended! read more

There are not many rooftop restaurants, but out of the few, this one seems to stand out, not only for the beautiful view, but for its exquisite cuisine, amazing cocktails, and extraordinary customer service. After being ranked 4th among Yelp's Top 50 Most Prolific Elites of 2025, a distinction recognizing my consistent community engagement and high-quality contributions, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants, businesses, and establishments, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to go back and write follow-up reviews on those places that impressed me the most during 2025, and Sixth and Sky Rooftop Grille, located in the heart of Downtown Roanoke, Virginia, is a perfect example of one of them. Today, before going to watch the That's so 70's Concert at the Mill Mountain Theatre, located in the Center in the Square, where this restaurant is also located, I decided to have dinner there, recalling that I had dined there the first day it opened, and many other times as well, for its one of my favorites restaurants in Roanoke. I made my reservation through Open Table for four o'clock, requesting table 62, which is the one I've always dined at since they opened the restaurant. When I arrived I parked my pearl white Lexus in The Center in the Square Garage, conveniently located next door and operated by PARKRoanoke, where you pay a reasonable fee by scanning a QR code when you arrive, fill out the information about your car and credit card payment and it tracks the time from when you arrived and submitted this information to the time when you leave the parking garage, automatically charges your credit card. There is a door from the garage to the Center in the Square building, where I took the elevator to the restaurant on the 6th floor. Once I arrived at the restaurant at the exact time of my reservation, the elegant and friendly host lady greeted me and took me to my usual table after recognizing who I was. Not long after, Kassidy my server arrived, gave me a warm greeting and took my order. To drink I ordered a Virgin Cranberry Mule. As appetizer I had the Scallop Thermidor, followed by a Side Mixed Green Salad with tomatoes, onions, parmesan cheese, and croutons, with Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing. As my main entrée I had their 8oz center cut Filet Mignon cooked medium-rare, served with mashed potatoes and asparagus, and with herb butter on top. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and the high-quality of their food. My server brought me a glass carafe of water with which she filled my water glass. Even the water here is high-quality and served elegantly. My Mocktail tasted simply marvelous. I enjoyed it to the last drop. The Scallops Thermidor had an amazing flavor, and I enjoyed enmensely. Everything was served at the right timing. Then came the salad which was made with fresh, quality ingredients. And the Filet Mignon was so tender and cooked just right, that while I was eating it I was already thinking on returning to have it again. The asparagus were fresh and just the right thickness to be able to enjoy them to the fullest. And the herb butter gave the mashed potatoes and everything else the perfect flavor. The manager gracefully took time to come and visit me at my table. He genuinely welcomed me and showed appreciation for my visit and for the good customer I've been of the restaurant ever since it opened its doors. Little did he know all the people that I've recommended this restaurant to. For dessert I had the Bananas Foster Beignets. The croissant dough of the Beignets were a bit overcooked, but overall the dessert tasted amazingly delicious. Next time I will remember to remind the cooks not to overcook the Beignets. In conclusion this is and continues to be one of my favorites restaurants in Roanoke, and once again I had an extraordinary dining experience there. read more

Had a great time here enjoying a dinner with friends. We were able to reserve an outdoor table that offered a great view of downtown and some mountains. Service was very nice from start to finish. Cocktails are unique...I had the blood orange old fashioned which was okay but not great. For dinner, I had the ribeye which was excellent but also very pricey at $56. My friends had a filet mignon and that was not great. The server did not provide a steak knife for that and sometimes you get a filet so tender, you don't need a steak knife. That was not the case here. Once they got the steak knife, they still had to saw at it, shaking the table, to cut through it. I think it was just a bad cut but it was really tough. We had some desserts...one we weren't crazy about and I can't even remember it but the Bananas Foster Beignets were great! Overall, I like the place and since my food was good, I give it four stars. read more

There's so much potential for this place to be really good, however, I feel it just misses the mark. To start the lighting is so bright and not what you expect at fine dining at 9pm. If they were to lower the lighting it would make a ton if difference. Currently, there are lights at the table that go unused because the overhead is so bright. . This was our third visit and we had a baked brie appetizer, the snapper, a fillet, and crème brûlée for dessert. The Brie is good but presentation wasn't appealing. The snapper and filet were very good and cooked perfect. The brûlée had a gummy shell and ruined the overall good flavor of the dish. Great location, but the restaurant is currently good not great read more

I love this place My Husband took me here for one year anniversary so it's special. The food is amazing. The service is great and it's a beautiful view. read more

The food was absolutely great! Salad as always was great. Soup was OK. The lobster was heavenly! Especially dipped in the melted butter. My husband loved his steak. Only complaint is obviously it's all overpriced for what It is. But you're also paying for the experience on a rooftop. Definitely a special occasion place!!! Or date night spot. read more

After an afternoon round of Disc Golf in Troutville, we arrived looking for some needed sustenance. These two sandwiches were awesome! There are many great burgers out there but this PLUS the truffle fries was wonderful. I'd never seen a tuna sandwich like this before. The wanton seemed a little odd but it's crunch plus the pickled ginger really made this sandwich delicious! We added a couple of glasses of wine from a nicely curated wine list. I'm a big fan of restaurants that can fit the bill for a casual meal or a night out for celebration. read more

Very disappointed! We have dined here many times for special occasions. Tonight was our 41st anniversary. We've been anxiously anticipating dinner to celebrate. The quality and portions have diminished, but of course the price hasn't. It took 45 min just to get the appetizer. (The server did remove it from our bill which we did appreciate). We did ask if the restaurant was under new management. Our server did say they have recently changed management companies. Its sad.... very sad... yet another restaurant has joined the mediocre masses. We won't be going back. read more

Planned a dinner date for my mother on a Saturday evening at 6:15. We were sat in a booth at the bar after the host tried to get us to sit outside (in February). The dining room is smaller than anticipated and has an open kitchen area and a small bar. Despite the name, you can't really see much sky from the indoor dining area, you'd have to be seated outside to get any sort of worthwhile view of the city. It was quite loud and very busy, the booths are small and people are walking very close by you when maneuvering around. I was relieved to not have been seated on the kitchen side where I'm sure it was louder and more chaotic. We had previewed the menu online (due to my mother having several food allergies) but were surprised to find a different menu in front of us upon arrival, the sever said it had just been updated the day before. The menu is small (even smaller if you have food allergies) and heavy on the seafood but the server was attentive and helpful for the menu she had to work with. There was a discrepancy between the server and manager about having a separate fryer for gluten allergies or not and it seemed like the server could have had more knowledge of the menu/allergy options than she had for an upscale dining establishment. We ordered a burger with no bun as the gluten free option and were not asked for a temperature so it came out quite pink and we had to ask for it to be thrown back on the grill, not surprisingly it came back as a tough puck blacked to a crisp. If you're not listing a standard burger temp on the menu the guest should be asked for their temperature preference to avoid such inconveniences on both sides. There are no sides listed on the menu but they do have carrots, side salads, asparagus, fries etc as secret mystery sides. The mocktails were $7 on the online menu and $9 on the newly released menu but the Blood Orange Spritz was flavorful. The shishito pepper appetizer had a nicely fried tempura coating but was just missing something in the way of flavor, for a whole plate focused upon peppers it had no spark or zing whatsoever, not even in the sauce. The steakhouse wedge was a large portion and the lettuce was crisp and fresh, the bacon was like chewing on tiny pork gravels and the bleu cheese was a little strong but the dressing was interesting. I had my heart set on the she-crab soup but settled for lobster bisque which was disappointing. It was very fishy, smelled heavily of fishyness, was very dense and thick with a few slimy slivers of lobster in the otherwise fully blended soup base, served lukewarm in a giant bowl with a giant spoon. The asparagus was divine with a perfect smoky char. We skipped dessert and for the price point I found the overall experience to be underwhelming since it is marketed as a "mountain top" dining experience. read more

I enjoy a rooftop experience just like the next person , but I live for the style of this restaurant, I appreciate the attention to detail and the GM even stopped by and spoke with us while we ate. We ended the night with their delectable beignets and I must say I was a happy lady by the end of this meal! read more

Six & Sky Rooftop Grille - Raspberry Lemon Drop ( My go to) - Steakhouses Near Me - Roanoke, Virginia

Food, service and ambiance were all outstanding. Rain had started so unfortunately we couldn't dine outdoors. View was exceptional though when we stepped outside after dinner when the rain stop. Very nice to see skyline at sunset and at night. I am usual a harsh critic on steaks and rarely order- but their ribeye was simply phenomenal. Great flavor, great cooking and very good quality meat. My only complaint was the cleanliness of the lobby. Very small detail- but started the night off a little bad. The foyer coming into the restaurant was very sticky and made me question the restaurants cleanliness. Thankfully it was isolated to the foyer. Look forward to my next visit to Roanoke- will be sure to visit them again! read more

So I did not think a rooftop restaurant was going to be as good as six and sky was!! I made a reservation and I'm glad I did. My party and I were seated right away. The drinks were very good! But the food was phenomenal! I got the crab dip, snapper, tuna burger, Brussels side, carrot side, and truffle fries. It was the highlight of my night! The views were also worth it as well. I will definitely be back!! read more

Had a group dinner here recently while in town on business, what a location. This one is amazing, on top of the building with a panoramic view of the area thats unmatched. We had reservations and our table was waiting for us on our arrival. Service is professional and on point. Everyone in my party tried a lot of various items off the menu, I opted for the Seared Scallops and they were delicious. Prepared beautifully, seared to perfection. A Quad of succulent scallops over a medley of spiced rice and bacon, with micro mushrooms sprinkled over top. My server was kind and attentive, she even got me a Virgin Cranberry Mule, it was so good I had a pair of them. 4.5 Stars - One of the best meals in town, and a world class view. Rounded up for my great server. 01001 read more

We've been meaning to try this place for a while so finally Sunday evening we went. Location is superb, wait staff is superb, and the food is some of the best in Roanoke. We were pleased by the amount of variety of the menu, but the smell of the steaks caused me to order the ribeye, which was a beautiful piece of meat that was cooked perfectly with a lot of crab meat on top and hollandaise. It was a lot to eat, but I could not stop and had to finish it. My wife had a combo meal of grilled shrimp, scallops, and crab. It was also amazing. These entrées came with perfect mashed potatoes and asparagus. After all this food, all we could do for dessert was share an order of beignets. They came with two dipping sauces and we thoroughly enjoyed them as well. My highest recommendation read more

Prices were very high for the two of us it was $121. and change not including tip. The food was excellent and service was very helpful. The hostess and waitress were very attentive. We loved the view! read more

Bad service and way too high prices. Their motto should be....."welcome to six and sky where the prices are high and so is your staff" Super slow and forgetful! Sorry, but you got to do better read more

Stopped here before our flight out. It was delicious food with a great view. Highly recommend the Ribeye and brussel sprouts.

We had a fabulous graduation dinner at Six and Sky. Service was great and the food was delicious. Some in our party had seafood (red snapper, tile fish, and salmon) while others had steak (filet and ribeye). Both were very happy with their dishes. The atmosphere is lovely. Was too cold to eat outside while we were there and large parties eat inside. Would be a perfect place for a cocktail overlooking the city. read more

Six & Sky Rooftop Grille - Ribeye steak with whipped potatoes and asparagus. - Steakhouses Near Me - Roanoke, Virginia

Not currently locals of Roanoke but were in the past so we have favorite spots we typically stick to. Decided to try this new spot to celebrate my husband's birthday and my recent college graduation with friends while we were in town for the day. The reservation was easy to make since we had a larger group, they got us right in. The menu selection was great, you know it's great when it's so hard to decide what to order. We ordered a mix of things and were so pleased at all of them, lots of food for the price. I love that this is fine dining in a casual setting, allowing you to enjoy the service and food of fine dining without the commitment of dressing up. Service was great and attentive. We have definitely added this to a new favorite spot when we come to town! read more

The best steak ever! Great service beautiful area and view. Definitely romantic staff was accommodating

The blackened chicken was very overcooked and dry. The view was not visible from inside the restaurant as the walls were too high, even where the outdoor high tops were. The gnocchi was definitely homemade, but very dense and also overcooked. The sea bass had a weird flavor. The fish and chips were too dark. The oil was far too hot. Beignets at another table were also very dark. Pretty much the only good things were the burrata and the truffle fries. The ambience was modern, but they had plug in rotating fans going everywhere. Our server was fine, but she forgot to take off the "complimentary" sparkling wine until we told her. Overall, Six and Sky was very disappointing. read more

Enjoyed an early dinner of its Tuna Burger and my friend had the arugula and Brussels sprouts salad with chicken. All of it was delicious. My tuna was cooked perfectly and the roll was savory with a touch of sweetness. We got there at 3:30 pm. By the time we left, the bar and restaurant were packed! Our visit was so pleasant, I understand why it was packed. The natural light and view from the dining room creates a beautiful and welcoming atmosphere. It was my first time there but won't be my last! read more

Let's start with the Ambiance. WOW. Roanoke has needed such a place as this for Sooooo Looonnng! Outdoor seating . Two walls of glass. Views of downtown & the mountains. Service. Phoenix, at the bar was kind, knowledgeable, helpful, but not intrusive. The staff were incredibly accommodating. I had the Red Snapper. Should've taken a picture. Beautiful. But more importantly, incredibly tasty! I'd say delicious. And having travelled far & wide, it was wonderful to have a properly cooked fish that was neither overwhelmed by add-ons nor overcooked. Excited to return and bring others. Don't wait. Go now. Go this weekend before the secret is out!! read more

I was there with a reservation for 4 about a week ago. Food and drinks were awesome and the service was great but as it was my first time I was very underwhelmed with the fact that we were sat in a booth! Not to mention we could see the food being cook right next to where we were sitting. The waitress immediately knew we were dissapointed with where we were sitting and tried to see if there was anything else....there wasn't. Overall...I felt like I paid $65 for a steak at a high end WAFFLE HOUSE. Every seat should be given the opportunity to experience the amazing views. ​ read more

The area downtown is great and on day one we saw this place which appeared to have some great views for dining and so the following day we made reservations. Seated quickly and the staff was great and I don't think we went more than about 5- minutes before someone came by to check on us. There was 4 of us and we ordered, fish, steak, salad, and a crab-cake dish, each of which didn't disappoint. Would definitely recommend if you want an enjoyable evening with nice views, awesome staff, and a meal you'll want to return for. read more

Visited for the first time tonight and sadly left disappointed. We had a reservation so we were seated quickly. We ordered some drinks and an appetizer. While we were waiting on the appetizer we ordered dinner. An hour later our entrees arrived. The pork chop was awesome but the salmon did not seem to have a lot of flavor. I was not impressed. We spoke with the waitress and a manager, both of whom were great, and were told there was new management and kitchen staff so they were behind. They gave us some bigness to make up for our wait but those too took forever. We finally got them to go. I also noticed they seemed slow to clean the tables. The staff were personable and apologetic. We will return at some point but not soon. read more
