Very very cute place. I wish I had taken a picture of the food but I forgot because I was starving and the last thing on my mind was a picture. Our food was delicious. We all ordered something different and enjoyed it very much. They have parking which was wonderful and the outdoor patio area was beautiful as well. My only suggestion is if you do an outdoor seating especially when it's mosquito season, definitely have citronella candles or something available for a table. There was a citronella plant behind us but we were all getting bit like crazy. Other than that it is a great place and I'm glad my husband decided to choose this for dinner last night. Bathroom was clean which was a huge plus as well and my friend and I loved the decor inside. read more

Used to be the best.., before Covid . Went in yesterday. Dining room has been de-charmed with removal and rearrangement of furniture. Few patrons. No waiter or greeter in sight. Front desk said they were on the way several times but no one appeared. We left. If the dining room is not staffed you have to wonder what the kitchen looks like. Saw no food on the two occupied tables.7 read more

First time, forgot to sort by newest reviews so saw great ones which were yrs old, probably wouldn't have gone if I had. Food was ok, not really worth the $. Total bill for us was $90 + tip, with 2 entrees, 1 big app & 2 pops. I got the sirloin & hubby got the lobster mac & cheese. High point for me was the jazzed up green beans. They were really good. When we walked in, we were greeted by a gentlemen who said to seat ourselves & the waitress would be with us shortly. There were only around 12 tables & only 1 occupied with 3 ppl. My husband & I took a seat & another couple came in after. Looks like the guy was the chef & there was only 1 server who was also bartending down the hall. Only issue was that we ordered the $18 cheeseboard which the menu said came with grapes & olives but had neither. I asked the waitress who became upset & went into the kitchen where I could hear yelling but we did finally get the olives. They also charge an automatic 4% credit card fee which seemed excessive. Server told another party they're under new management. Not sure if that improved things at all. We really liked the artwork & the beautiful holiday decorations in the lobby of the hotel, which you have to walk through to enter the restaurant. The building itself is historic, easily over 100 yrs old. Won't go back but I like to try new things so not a total loss. I took pictures of the latest menu. The one here now is 6 yrs old & some things have changed. Also snapped the 4% fee blurb from our receipt. read more

Poor food quality, over priced, and crap service. Ordered to take to my room in the Hotel, staff claimed they could not call when order was ready. I had to go back several times over the hour to check on order, and then return to get utensils. Meat was over cooked and leatherly, dry. The sprouts were under cooked, and mashed potatoes were cold. Disappointed. Threw it in the trash and ordered food else where. Staff didn't care about my dissatisfaction. Server proceeded to inform me that's how to braise meat, as if she knew. Dear Lord darling, Sigh... read more

Skye Bistro - Hunk of over cooked fat, under cooked Brussel sprouts. And flavorless mashed potatoes. However the potatoes were edible. - American Near Me - Mentor, Ohio

Used to be amazing my daughter loved it there ( she's picky on her steaks) but as the world goes we tried it twice since the pandemic and the food quality went down and the prices went way up. Don't mind paying for a good meal, but max price for bad food doesn't cut it . I can make a better fillet at home for 25% of the price oh well welcome to the industry that is in turmoil at best We keep looking read more

Excellent service in the bar with great appetizers. The spinach dip is a keeper. Highly recommend trying something on the dinner menu.

The food wasn't very good. My pork chop was over cooked and my wife couldn't even finish her chicken piccata the meat was so tuff. The service was good seeing the restaurant was under staffed and our waitress was covering the bar area also. read more

Yesterday I visited this establishment. The food was a little better than Applebee's. Our waitress ( she never introduced herself) was a heavy set woman with long blonde hair, and a flowered shirt. She seemed to be annoyed. I could her her say under her breathe, this is fucking bullshit in what I believe was the kitchen. When she came out of the kitchen, I heard her say, I'm gonna fucking fire that bitch. I'm not sure if she is the owner. If she isn't, I would hope the owner or area director will have a conversation with her. My children did not have to hear that language. read more

Always a favorite of ours. Service was great. Food fantastic. The extensive drink menu has delicious specialty drinks, wine and some beers. We were disappointed that there is no longer music. We had enjoyed the pianist and guitar player. So relaxing and different from other venues. Made Skye a notch above the others. Tho we will return, hopefully management will reconsider the music. Reservation recommended, but not required. A separate tavern has a nice bar and ample seating for eating or hanging out. read more

Our server, Karen, was knowledgeable and attentive - she made us feel very comfortable. The calamari was light and the perfect start to our meal. We both had the Skye Burger and can't rave enough about it! Obviously hand-made burger, that was cooked to perfection. Remember to save room for dessert! read more

My husband and I had the worst meal ever at Skye Bistro. His pork chop was dry and unappealing looking as well as the green beans which he never touched. The fish in my fish tacos were small overcooked leathery pieces. Our friends salmon was burned and she picked it apart. My husband was served a side salad which he thought came with his meal. The salad belonged to our friend. We got charged for the salad. We should have complained at the restaurant but the waitress was very unfriendly and only asked how everything was as she was walking by. She didn't even wait for our response.it appeared as if she was angry she had to wait on us. I think we should of paid my attention to the fact we were the only ones in the restaurant. We now know why. We will not be going back there. read more

Great place for food and drinks! Staff is lovely! Been here multiple times and have never had a bad experience.

We had lunch in the pub today and it was relaxing. The baked Brie was excellent and the presentation was lovely. I had a burger and my lunch partner had a bowl of their soup du jour. Service was great, not rushed at all. We're looking forward to going back for dinner. read more

Anniversary dinner. I had the homemade pasta with shrimp, roasted red pepper & garlic. It was good but could have had a bit more garlic flavor and I did ask for extra garlic. My husband had the short ribs, garlic rosemary mashed & veggies and he loved it. Our server Lisa was great. Friendly with a warm welcoming smile. We will for sure come back. read more

Skye Bistro - Entrance to main restaurant - American Near Me - Mentor, Ohio

I've been here multiple times and the ambiance is great. There are a few different rooms to sit. The main dining room offers casual elegance with live dinner entertainment on many nights. The bar is cozy and trendy. In the summer there is a comfortable patio seating. The service over the years has never been horrible, but never special either. The problem is is that it doesn't live up to their price point. This is an area they can improve. Today's service was good, just nothing above and beyond. The cocktails have typically been good. I like the variety in their menu and many of the things I've had have been good. There's just a lot of cliche flavors and many times over cooked vegetables. The offerings tend to be on the healthier side and I appreciate that. Today my daughter and I had the fish tacos. The fish wasn't fried, but instead had perfect blackened seasoning. It was flakey and perfectly cooked. The aioli was good, and after asking for lime wedges, I loved them. They are typically paired with chips which we upgraded to sweet potato fries. Those were cooked nicely with a little crunch but where you could still taste the potato. My martini was delicious, but pricey as was my daughter's skyy mule. Our bill was $43 before tip. Lunch was kind of slow there, but I think they'd do better offering some specials at that time of the day. Overall, this is a great spot to hit up, I'd just highly recommend looking for a Groupon to bring the overall cost more in line with the experience. read more

Very nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Good bartender. Order an old fashion or a martini. The menu is limited but tasty. We enjoy it once a month or so. The lobster mac and cheese is always a hit. Ate at the bar Richard is an old school bad as# bartender Don't let him get away Michael read more

First time visitor (for my birthday)... awesome food and great service from ann! Great atmosphere and all the flavors were A+++

Great little place attached to the best western historical hotel. Karen was great and personable and took great care of us. Good wine and bourbon selection. Meal was solid and lava cake hit the spot. Was there traveling with work colleagues. read more

My wife and I went to Skye Bistro for an early dinner. My wife ordered the pasta special which was cheese raviolis with a lobster cream sauce which came with a side salad. Her dinner was fabulous and very decadent. The cheese raviolis were creamy, and there was a good amount of fresh lobster with the the sauce. I had the fish and chips special. The dinner came with hand cut fresh potato chips and absolutely the best fried fish I ever had. The fish consisted of three large filets of perch. I would order this again in a heartbeat. The accompaniments were a fabulous tartar sauce, that was right on point and complimented the perch wonderfully, and an extremely tasty cole slaw. This tasted like it was made fresh for me, not like most of the slaw you get with a fish and chips order at other restaurants. I have had fish and chips in London, and this dish beats them hands down. Our waiter, Steve, was very cordial and made our dining experience special as he was very attentive to our needs. He is a great asset to the restaurant. We have been to Skye numerous times and have never been disappointed. Their food and service have always been top notch. read more

It's a bit weird as it's open and right in the middle of a hotel, like where the continental breakfast would be served. The food was good. The wine pours were generous. I'd go back. read more

Really enjoyed our meal here! My husband got lobster Mac and cheese and I had the meatloaf. I love meatloaf and it was really good, but the Mac and cheese was way better!! I will be getting that next time for sure. We also got a few glasses of wine and were impressed with the service. read more

We went to Skye Bistro for my brother's 50th birthday. The restaurant is located in the Best Western hotel which ave me some trepidation on the type of restaurant we were going to. I had heard good things and hoped it lived up to the reviews. The first indication that it was not going to live up to expectations was that our table of ten was seated next to the singer/guitarist/piano player. The music made it very difficult to talk to those at the table. The musician was very good but having him sitting at next to our table was troubling. My parents felt left out of the conversation as they had to talk very loud to be heard and just decided to be quiet instead. The waitress was doing her best to serve the group, but she also had other tables to serve which made the service slow. The waitress also did not have any assistance with clearing the tables, she was waitress and busser for all her tables. We ordered our drinks and appetizers, potatoe chips with blue cheese and brie. The chips were very good and the brie came with bread, some grapes and slices of apple. The portions were enough to share. Next came the dinner. They offered specials, prime rib, trout and a few other items, along with their regular menu and pub fare. The pub fare is the typical: sliders, salads, burger and fried sides such as calamari and french fries. The portions of the specials were large and so much they could not be finished while the pub fare portions were to small leaving the diners wanting more. Some of the items seemed to be missed or matched or described. My wedge salad was chopped romaine though when it was placed on the table the waitress was sure to tell me it was a wedge. I would have preferred her to just admit they ran out of iceberg and substituted romaine. My husband's fish tacos came with french fries and no salsa or taco sauces. Others had the meatloaf and ravioli entrees. Again, it was good but nothing special. Due to the server being stretched over to many tables she wasn't able to check on us and many of us were not asked if we wanted another beverage until the dinner was over. The final issue I had with the meal was that as we were enjoying our dessert and coffee the waitress started to clean up the tables over our plates. Some of us were still eating and it felt like they were trying to rush us out of the room. For what we paid, I would have thought the service would have been better and the food a bit more special. I am glad I tried the place out but do not think I would be going back. There are many other places in Mentor that have similar food and better services. read more

Went to Skye -- bar for some post dinner drinks. It had two (fake) but realistic fireplaces. Drinks were made to order; glasses were clean. Bartender needs to spread attention to more patrons. Friend ordered takeout and it seemed to come out pretty fast. Restaurant and bar were pretty busy for that late in the evening...however parking sucks. read more

Excellent! Had a NY Strip with garlic mashed potatoes with the vegetable do hour (summer and zucchini with roasted red peppers). Also had the Blue Skye Chips for a shared appetizer. Drank a couple Great Lakes Brewing Co. Rye of the Tiger IPAs. Served some warm bread with the meal. A couple in our group shared their desserts (I had a Bailey's). Sampled Death by Chocolate and the NY Cheesecake. Both were excellent. Our waiter was Steve. He did an excellent job and really rolled with our crazy group! Even snapped a couple iPhone photos for us, mid-meal. Sat outside on and area Steve told us would be covered by next summer. It's next to the pool (the restaurant is part of the Best Western hotel). Cool night ... and it was neat to see they keep some blankets out there for anyone who might need to wrap themselves to ward off the chill. Meals are a bit pricey - most entrees over $20 - but you get what you pay for, folks. It's darn good food and darn good service, so it's well worth the visit now and again! read more

Not my usual type of food but really really enjoyed this. I'll be back for more. Thanks for prepping the food so quick!

Used to be very good. Made reservations for Sweetest Day Showed up on time and was treated as if we were an annoyance for being there. Waited about 49 minutes for our table which was fine but then given the hurry up and leave treatment. Prices were high for what you got and very few things to choose from. The food was mediocre at best. The ambiance in the room felt like you put up a few tables in your living room put table cloths on them and called it a restaurant. Very disappointing considering how good it was. Few years ago. Not sure if we will give it another try based upon the other recent reviews on yelp. read more

This is the second visit to the restaurant and each time it gets better. Our first time was a family event and we couldn't wait to come back. This time it was an intimate birthday dinner. Our waiter was the best, came and asked us how we are doing first which made us feel a personal connection. From the appetizer to the dessert I can only say---perfection. For the price you definitely get 4 star+ service. read more

LOVE this restaurant! Although we are local residents, Skye was recommended to us by someone who was visiting here on a business trip. Since that time a few years ago, we've visited Skye at least a dozen times. We have always enjoyed a positive experience. The staff all work together to make the entire experience relaxing and enjoyable. The menu offers a nice variety of choices with fair prices. On certain evenings, musicians are in the back corner on the piano or guitar--always nice. Famous artwork is streaming on a screen in the background. Be sure to make a reservation, especially if you're going on a Friday or Saturday. Just a great choice all around! Can't wait until our next visit. read more

I love this restaurant, but everytime I go at dinner time I get Armondo, and he is extremely rude. I always excuse it b/c I tell myself he must be having a bad day, but it seems that this happens every time I have had him. I have taken friends here, and he has been exceedingly rude to them as well. I will not be bringing people here anymore at dinner time. Maybe I should just get food to go. I truly appreciate all your wonderful gluten free options, but I don't like being treated rudely, but even more so seeing my friends treated very poorly :( read more

I really like the "Bistro". The food is usually 4+ good. My 5+ star review is for the lobster mac and cheese. The LM&C is a whole different deal! It is the best lobster mac and cheese I have ever tasted. The cheese blend complements the lobster without over shadowing it. Did I mention that they have Fat Head IPA on tap. Linda (the bartender) is a pleasure. She really sets a "mellow relaxed vibe" which enhances the dinner experience. I hope to be back soon. read more

Skye was a very unpleasant surprise. So loud you couldn't hear your dining companion across the table, in a crowded dining room. No specials, on a Saturday night. My companion ordered a burger from the pub side of the menu (which also includes fish tacos, banh mi, etc.). Specified medium rare. I ordered the Caesar salad and butternut squash ravioli. Some minutes later, our meals arrived -- oops, no, a shrimp risotto and short ribs arrived, only to disappear back into the kitchen and then float out to the bar dining area. Much, much later, the burger and ravioli arrived. The Caesar? No explanation for why it never made the scene; perhaps it was misdelivered as well and that table was so famished that they pretended it was theirs. The ravioli were OK; the burger was overcooked and uninspired. And did I mention it was noisy? Didn't help that despite our request with our reservation for a quiet table, we were plunked down next to the piano. Our waiter, while pleasant at the start, pulled a disappearing act. My companion would've wanted a second glass of wine, but never got the chance to ask. And perhaps if he'd glanced our way once or twice, he might've noticed that the salad hadn't arrived. The only nice part of the experience was walking down the hall to the parking lot and experiencing blessed quiet. For anyone still interested after this: Wines by the glass were reasonably priced. The clientele skews very old -- at least 75% of the 40 or so people in the dining room with us were clearly over 60. The menu selection is relatively limited and doesn't have much in the way of creativity. We won't be going back. read more

We dined here back in the summer on the patio by the "pool" in back. The setup was nice although a bit strange. If anyone had actually been in the pool they could have soaked us but I digress. To start I asked the waitress about some of the various bottles of wine they had. She had no idea how to answer my simple questions and seemed to have no way to find out. So I chose one I was unfamiliar with. It was a Red Zin and it was barely ok. I don't blame her for that though. Moving on. We started with the Baked Brie app. It was simple. Nothing wrong with it just exactly what you expect. For dinner I had the Short Ribs ($23) and my fiancé had the Pork Tenderloin ($22). Immediately I knew why I found a Groupon for this place. The food was edible but at least, warm. It transported me to my worst nightmare, a retirement home. If bland, fatty, ill prepared food is what you're after, THEY'VE GOT IT!!! The waitress had told us earlier that the death by chocolate dessert was out of this world and in my foolish mind I just kept thinking, it can't be as bad as this food. So we ordered it to go. Not worth the calories. We threw half of it out. The front of house staff was very kind and accommodating which is why I've waited so long to write this review. If you like good food that has qualities like flavor and texture, do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. read more

Nice Find In A Hotel We were guests of the attached hotel (which also provided us a 10% discount, sweet!). The restaurant was not large however they creatively made seating in other areas such as outside on the patio. I could easily see that there were locals also (such as a young couple on a date). The waitress was very friendly and helped us make our choices. We there on a Wednesday evening and there was even a live piano player which added a nice little touch. The restaurant looked clean and fresh with a nice contemporary decor (making it very nice for date night). Not too fancy. I am a little confused by the name Yelp has as I believe it is just "Skye" with no Bistro. read more
