Food and service were amazing and the service was good also. Cute establishment with great vibes. Music/Dj, hookah, bar, plenty of seating. Seated 5people just after 1(near opening), with no wait. The food came out hot and fresh and tasty. The least favorite item was the steak bites only because they were thin, tough and not tender. Our favorites were the Brisket hash and we added a waffle that was simply amazing. Very flavorful. We had shrimp and grits, French toast, bacon and eggs. All of the above were flavorful and delicious. We had the Sky Bistro Mimosa Carafe, it was good and strong. Parking is a pain at this location since the nearest parking garage is closed. There is 15% gratuity added to 5+ guest and 20% added to 6+ guest. read more

We came for brunch because my bf said the menu looked good so we tried it out. He's been here at night before and said it was pretty cool for a lounge. We got a Grand Carafe which was only $23 and it was really good to share among 3-4 people, we ordered two so it was great deal. I ordered the smoked brisket hash with sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes and it was really good. The flavor was amazing and I loved the texture of the sweet potatoes because they were cooked perfectly, not mushy or too hard. I def tasted some sweetness and cinnamon which added a nice flavor as well. I wish the brisket wasn't shredded so finely and I did ask for no pepper and onion medley but it was there anyways. It was still really good. My bf had the surf and turf with lamb chops and shrimp and it was cooked perfectly but a taddd salty. It was definitely worth it though. Overall it was great. I'll definitely come back again. read more

1st time there this past weekend and I must say it's a really nice spot! I love the vibe and the service was great as well! I will definitely be back! 10/10!! read more

A nice meet up spot for a girlfriend's brunch that has upbeat music. The customer service and drinks were good. The food was ok. I love oysters (raw, steamed or charbroiled) so thought I would love these. But I was not impressed and only ate two. The salmon bites were ok but not really seasoned and tasted fishy. I opted to not have the skillet potatoes served with my surf and turf and added a separate order for the sweet potato waffle (no substitution). The waffle was really good. I added a fried lobster tail to my surf and surf and it was a bit salty. Overall I wouldn't run back for the food but if I wanted a spot to meet up with friends to enjoy Sunday brunch with mimosas and the sweet potato waffle I would be back. read more

I'm not going to lie I didn't know what to expect when we pulled up to Sky Bistro Lounge. We entered through the parking garage and everything looked real sketch but when I tell you the food in here SLAPS, it's not an overstatement. If you're looking for the lounge type vibe with good music, good food and good drinks, Sky Bistro Lounge is the place for you. Our waitress handled our large party with ease and a wonderful personality. The food was AMAZING! Especially the brussels sprouts. Our table had a bit of everything from salmon bites, to philly egg rolls, to wings and more. I had the sweet chili salmon with brussels and fingerling potatoes. Everything was cooked to perfection and seasoned to the tee! Definitely coming back! read more

The DJ on Friday was very rude. I asked if I could request and song and he said no. It wasn't the fact that he said no, it was the attitude that came with it. As a DJ, you're supposed to hospitality. He did not at all. He was very dismissive. He needs to get spun up on new music. read more

I love going to Sky! They have great music and even better food. The service is nice & they stay on top of things despite how busy it gets. It's always clean on both levels and provides a fair amount of seating. read more

What a great place to unwind. The food is top tier. The music was jumping. My server was sooo nice and adorable. Although I can see the owners or friends of owners like to be performative. They are there but they aren't present. The owner sat at the end of the bar with a group of women smoking hookah and laughing while the bartender was struggling in the worst way possible. I ordered two old fashions and before they hit the table I was asking what the they made me. It had muddled strawberries lol by the time I got our drinks we were paying the tab. But homie never stopped blowing oooh's in the air with the lady friends. Smh by the end she had 4 people helping her and on the internet. Its cool tho. read more

I came here to meet my sister for drinks and small bites. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure we had what we needed. The hookah was flavorful and robust. We took advantage of their 50 cent wings, which were tasty. The only downside was the wait time for my delicious strawberry lemon-drop, which was definitely the wait! read more

Sky Bistro is a great place to hangout with your friends in downtown Columbia. They offer a variety of food options from Ribeye to elevated grilled cheese sandwiches. While my steak was a bit more blue than I would like, I really enjoyed the broccoli, mac and cheese and shrimp pasta. In a collage town, I really appreciated that they have security outside to check Id's so an old timer can have laid back good time with her friends. The waitress was exceptional and should be nominated for waitress of the year of that's even a thing. read more

Went on a date. Drinks were good & I enjoyed the bar. Bartender was very professional and knew her job. The food was just ok. I had something & the date had the NY Strip & fries. He said it was good but looked average to me. Oh yeah I had the greasy Brussels sprouts. Not sure about the seasoning. The hamburger was abysmal & over cooked. They left off all accoutrements. Bar food is elevated these days. They need to do better. Will not patronize again. On the fence about a second date read more

The lamb chops were amazing! Service was attentive and the vibe was the "hangout" kind of vibe. If you like music and singing aloud, this is the place for you! read more

Not at all what is advertised! Friendly people but no where does it state it's a hookah lounge!

We went for my friend birthday dinner. Downstairs environment: The environment was a whole vibe. From the music to the waitress and people it created am environment from young crowd to older crowd. Before 10, the staff is dressed nice, but after 10.. baby...Ass, thighs and breast just OUT. It's not a trashy dress but I was just shocked at how quickly the environment changed. Food: The food was good. It came out hot. The spinach dip was AMAZING with the pita chips to top it off. I could eat the pita chip by itself. The spinach dip was creamy and hot. For the stuffed chicken breast, I was warned it takes the longest to cook. When I saw the chicken breast I was like this is it for $22?? Mannnnn, what the world. The Mac and cheese was amazingly delicious. I just think the portion could be better for the amount of money spent. Up-Stair environment: This area is definitely the younger crowd. It's a nice vibe. Hookah is amazing and the drinks are watery but it was ok. After about 6 drinks you start to feel something. Overall it was a great experience. I would return for happy hour to see what it's really offering. Stay tuned read more

If i could give this place 0 stars I would. This was the most awful dinning experience I've ever encountered. Waited over an hour for food. The food is cold. Its Mother's Day yet my mom was the last to be served. We are still currently waiting on my mom's food and my small side. Expensive food with the poorest service. No hate to the server but the establishment needs to do better. read more

It was a great experience with amazing hosts , they made sure we were accommodated for everything. The service was prompt.

Sky Bistro is awesome! I've been there several times! Brunch is also unique! They have delish food & one- of-a kind mimosas! Staff are exceptional!! I was the only Caucasian in the Bistro as this is a predominantly black lounge. Atmosphere is rockin!! I highly recommend! They also have specials each night! read more

I had the ribs with Gouda Mac and cheese with asparagus. The ribs had a crispy crust and fell off the bone and just melted in your mouth. So delicious. They said that there was a downstairs where the music is not near as loud. We stayed upstairs and it was loud but enjoyable. Service was good. Left us alone just enough. Could have kept my husband sweet tea filled up more but as I was typing she was on it. My husband tore up my Mac and cheese and that's saying a lot since he's not much of a Mac and cheese guy. It's really great food folks and I'm glad we stopped by. read more

Food was great besides the wings i wish they were fried wings not baked. our server was amazing she was on her ishhhhh. props to her she knows how to do her job as a server. the vibe was great the music was ON POINT!!! over all i'll give it a 9/10 if the wings were fried y'all would've got a 10‼‼‼ read more

My friends and I went for Sunday brunch and the service was amazing. Marie and Lana were very attentive. They communicated well throughout our meal and had suggestions for food and drinks. The music was bomb and very brunch (not club!) appropriate. The lamb chops were impeccable. I recommend 10/10 lol. read more

New in town and just stopped in for a beer and wings. Good clean place with great service. Dee the bartender was very attentive and the food comes out hot and covered which is a nice touch. The staff is really cool. One of them changed the tv to the game I was wanting and seemed to go the extra mile to make everything comfortable. I'll be back read more

We went to 3 other restaurants before coming here and none of them were able to accommodate us. We randomly came here and we're so glad we did. The food was delicious. Our drinks were on point and the service was excellent. The musical selections were impeccable. Definitely a vibe on a Sunday. We will be back! read more

Came here for the first time last night and had excellent service from the bartender, Shy! My salmon I ordered was slightly undercooked and she immediately took it off my bill and brought me a new meal that was great. Staff was very friendly and food very good. Would recommend! read more

I am very disappointed with my service at the Sky Bistro for brunch. Our server was not interested in properly serving me and my team. We ordered our food, drinks & hookah to start. We were not offered complimentary waters while we wait for our things. when our food came we were not offered condiments to help complete our meals. The food was given to us and she walked away Not asking if we needed anything. my eggs were cold, we wanted ice for our warm drinks but our server did not even come back to see if everything was okay. I had to bother another server who got us ice, and had to change my eggs. We were a party of 3 and one of my girls didn't get her food until 10 min later and not even a warning that her food was delayed was given. It was just a bad experience all and all For brunch. We have been there for R&B night on Thursdays and the experience is 10x different. The servers smile, interact and checks in. I like if I am paying for something, not second guess it. Yall need to do a little better with your brunch staff. read more

The Food was great & so was the service. The hookah girls were friendly. I went back to back days and it was great both days. I went on a Tuesday & Wednesday. read more
