Food was pretty good, but service was meh. After being looked down upon for not making a reservation (I called an hour previous and was told it wasn't busy for 2 and we would be fine just walking in) the waitress seemed to care much more for the wealthier older couples and groups surrounding us. After about 10 minutes of sitting there the waitress finally decided to greet us. The food itself took way too long, and all in all we felt very singled out. read more

Recently at Skye for a friends rehearsal dinner - the party began on the patio and dinner was served in a back room. The wine and appetizers were great and it was a pre-determined menu for our party. I ordered the steak, but it was very fatty :( Although I came from out of town for the occasion, I would definitely come again if I lived closer! read more

My wife and sometimes our family have been to Skye many times and have especially loved their lunches, until now. Someone has decided to make some bad changes to the delicious menu. Skye took away some of their more popular items that we looked forward to and replaced it with a less selective choice. They use to have a very delicious prime rib open face sandwich and a pulled pork sandwich. These have been substituted by salmon and more hamburgers which you pay a hefty $12 and $14 for and this doesn't even come with French fries, only potato chips. A slice of pie will also set you back another $7.50 each and this doesn't include the coffee. Our family was very disappointed and will probably elect to find other places for dining. read more

Outstanding burger. Steve was a very fun and engaging server. I would definitely eat here again when I come back to the area.

Just had mother's dinner here and everything was perfect - the waitress could be a little bit more friendly but then again she was working on Mother's Day. The Prime Rib was to die for. My sister from Texas as their scallops w/mushroom risortto and she loved it. They were very accomendating since we had a party of 8 and two small children. Have been there during the week and the only suggestion is their live entertaining made everyone else have to talk loud which then made the it a loud place to eat. read more

Skye was a pleasant surprise - unassuming from the outside, cozy inside. I had a great Espresso martini and, oh yes, the food was good as well. I've already made plans to return with friends and family so that it can become their new favorite spot as well. I can't wait to try additional menu options. read more

Excellent service, nice decor, decent menu selections. I had the short ribs which were tender and the sauce was tasty but nothing extraordinary. The stuffed mushroom appetizer was very good. The other members of my party had pasta, which they enjoyed very much. The only reason I couldn't go five stars was it seemed a bit over priced. Overall it was a good meal and again the service was top notch. read more

My wife and I have been to Skye numerous times (10-12). The food is excellent, and the wine has always been reasonably priced. We always enjoy the musical accompaniment that Dan provides. It truly adds to the experience. This gem is a solid 4-5 stars. The reviews that drag it down are from sometime ago - before we began frequenting the restaurant. Lastly, we have taken our teenage children to Skye, because we wanted them to experience the food/live music combo, and they really enjoyed themselves. It's our favourite Mentor restaurant. read more

I have been taking my mom here for brunch on or near Mother's Day for the past four years, and each year the food has gotten markedly worse even though the service . This year was probably the last time we'll go. The brie appetizer, which used to be a lovely plate with brie baked with almonds and honey and a variety of breads and fruits, this year was a ciabatta sandwich bun (literally) quartered and toasted with a wheel of brie that had been microwaved with some raw almonds thrown on top, a sliced up mealy apple, and about 10 grapes. It's just disappointing that what was once a lovely appetizer is now basically terrible. The meals that we got weren't great either. I had a pasta primavera with uninspired grilled chicken with no flavor and a smattering of overcooked vegetables covered in a sauce that had so much butter and oil in it that it left grease on my chin. My mother had lobster macaroni and cheese which was heavy with that same greasy cream sauce and had what she described as "canned lobster flavored meat" in it. I remember the past meals that I've had here, including an incredible salad and some very interesting tacos, and the fantastic servers and folks who work there, and I'm just sad for the decline in this place. It's too expensive and the food is too bad. read more

The meal and service were both unacceptable! The chicken and linguine were gristly and overcooked respectively. The server did not return to ask me how my meal was and we left without eating. read more

Skye is about 10 minutes from my office & home - it's always a "go to" if we can't decide where else to go. The food is typically fantastic although the service can be slow. Great standard menu with lots of specials. Also, they typically have a Groupon special... check it out! Definitely recommend! read more

Skye is an awesome bistro with food that exceeded my expectations. I'm in town on business for a week. Texas is my home and it has snowed the last two days with ice. Can't begin to tell you how grateful I am that Skye is in my hotel!!! The bistro is dressed out very nicely with fine decor and table wear. Prices are up there, but I never felt cheated for the portions and quality of the food is appropriate. Entrees are twenty and up with a nice salad and sandwich selection for mid teens and up if on a budget. Steve is my waiter, but they are all PROFESSIONAL wait staff at this restaurant. I have had their shrimp and pasta with a vodka reduction which was full of flavor and nice sized shrimp. Also another night had the veal meatballs and pasta again wonderful. Tender meat full of basil and oregano with a light tomato sauce. If your staying here, warning it's addictive! If not I know its part of a hotel, but I would recommend it for a nice dinner out if your not afraid to drive in snow and ice!! read more

Sky Bistro is normally our go-to restaurant for a fine meal. Last evening, 9/2, we had a light dinner there. Their Caesar salad is normally the best I have ever had... crisp greens, lightly dressed, ample sliced cheese. Last evening the greens were drenched in dressing, lots of grated cheese sprinkled on top. More like what you would get at a local diner. The crab cakes I had and the salmon on my wife's salad were tasty but were delivered to the table barely warm. This whole experience was so unlike our previous visits where we never had a bad meal. We suspect the former chef and wait staff are no longer there and and the current staff is not working cooperatively to provide the fine dining experience we normally expect. After informing the waitress of our sentiments management did provide a significant discount off the final check. The margaritas were delicious. read more

Things just took a turn for the better at Skye Bistro....cranky Pam is longer working there!!! We may start frequenting the place again. Thanks to whomever is behind this! read more

my wife reserved a special party room for my 60th birthday. this is the best kept secret regarding gourmet/cozy dining in mentor. the staff - very warm and friendly, facility- unique and charming, food - to die for great. highly recommend. thanks read more

A pleasant environment even though the restaurant is inside the hotel. The blackened shrimp tacos, the days special sandwich, were a disappointment. They contained a very small amount of chopped up shrimp with absolutely no flavor. I am not quite sure where the "blackened" came into the picture.The chips that accompanied the sandwich were the highlight. They were freshly made and delicious. I was shocked to learn that they charge three dollars for club soda. Come on guys, this is water to which you have added fizz. Not sure I got the bank I should have for my buck. read more

This restaurant is a wonderful surprise to find in a Best Wester motel. The food is very good and they have a number of GLUTEN FREE, or items that can be made gluten free, on the menu. Their frier is dedicated so those of us who can't eat gluten, can have french fires and their homemade corn chips. Tonight we had baked brie for an appetizer, then we shared sweet potato fries. For my main course I had a wonderful large salad. When it came time for desert, you can't beat their gluten free Death By Chocolate. They have bar seating that is separate from the dining room. It is a full bar with a TV. I've eaten in the dinging room five or six times and never had the bar noise overflow into the dining area. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings they have a piano player in the dining area. It adds an intimate romantic atmosphere, that is missing during lunch. read more

I scoped out this restaurant's menu and hours online. For my husband's birthday I made a Saturday night dinner reservation. The restaurant confirmed my reservation via email and suggested a cake-- which I ordered for an agreed upon fee. We arrived right on time, however the hostess informed us that there was no record of our reservation. The dining area is very small and it was clear there was no way to squeeze us in. I purposefully made a reservation for the dining room to avoid being seated at the pub or patio. Since two six-person tables had been seated, waiting was not an option. Hopefully this is not a common occurrence. But, for us it ruined what was supposed to be a joyful birthday celebration. Bottom line: Make reservations, call to verify, note the manager's name, and only go if you're not in a hurry, and/or if you're wiling to eat outside or at the bar in the pub. read more

Absolutely loved the food, wonderful menu with a great selection but I will not being returning. These people could learn a little about customer service. My server was totally inattentive and when I asked to speak to a manager I could see where she learned it from. This lady was so rude. To bad I would have came back hoping to host an event if it wasn't for her. It's such a shame because this restaurant has so much potential but until theres some staff changes future customers be warned. I hope Sam/Pam whatever her name was gets a few books on customer service for dummys. read more

Somewhat dated decor inside this establishment, which is in the side of a Best Western hotel. Sat with a table of 7 on a Friday night. Excellent service, but my salmon was dried out. The entire outside of the filet was dry and crispy, with only the center being tender. Not worth mentioning anything so I could sit there as my 6 guests ate around me. Spinach and artichoke dip and calamari were both amazing. Overall, this place is a bit pricey for what you get. read more

Had dinner with my boyfriend and another couple on a Wednesday night. Sat outside and Armando was our server We had fish tacos , shrimp cocktail, swordfish, scallops , and a New York strip ! All was very satisfying along with great atmosphere and great service. read more

Had a baby shower over the weekend at Skye Bistro and it was wonderful. It was a warm, welcoming setting and the staff was amazing, especially Pam . Several guests had dietary issues and Pam made several suggestions that beautifully met everyone's needs. The food was delicious and all my guests said how much they enjoyed the venue and atmosphere. Thank you Pam and Staff at Skye Bistro for making the shower a success. read more

I just had an amazing dinner at Skye! I'm from San Diego, so didn't expect much from a place in a Best Western in suburban Cleveland- BUT I WAS WRONG! Outstanding mussels with chorizo and sun dried tomatoes! Crab cakes were as good as you can find anywhere. Great service too! Try Skye - you won't be disappointed! read more

I have eaten lunch here a couple of times, but never got o try dinner until tonight (Friday, May 5, 2017). I arrived at 5:30 p.m. and there were many tables available. I called ahead to make a reservation in case they were busy. The service was very good and the waitress was attentive throughout the meal. I had the shrimp cocktail (delicious, fresh, and with a great cocktail sauce), iced tea, and the New York Strip Steak which came with mashed potatoes and a vegetable medley (zucchini, squash and green beans). The only down side were the vegetables. The rest of the meal was perfect, but the medley was overcooked and bland. With the high quality of food that I always receive here, it was not a major issue, but one that should be noted. Since it was Friday night, they also had a musician playing guitar and singing. It was very pleasant and he is immensely talented. When my wife returns from a work trip, I intend to take her here for anice date night away from the kids. read more

Went to Skye with friends last nite, was disappointed, ordered Maine Lobster with wild rice, came as a bowl of rice and mushrooms, questioned waitress if Maine Lobster? she said yes some pieces of lobster claw in there, there was some and overcooked and chewy, not what I expected for Maine Lobster. Appetizers were good, Chocolate to die for desert was excellent. read more

Skye is a very interesting restaurant that is very easy to pass up if you don't know what you are looking for. I have been multiple times, mostly for lunch, and it has never disappointed. The restaurant itself is very clean and the staff is always very attentive to whatever you need. The bar area is very relaxed with a good selection of drinks and a nice decor. I have tried multiple things on the menu, including many soups, and I have not had anything that I wouldn't eat again. I highly recommend Skye. read more

What a gem! We were in town for a kids regatta and had a Saturday evening to ourselves. Based on reviews here on Yelp we decided to come over. Had a delightful dinner on the patio. Service was great, food was outstanding and patio was very comfortable. My wife prefers gluten free options and they had plenty. I was surprised for a Saturday how few people were there. This place should have been packed at 6:30. I highly recommend it! read more

This is our solid go-to restaurant when looking for a good meal nearby. This particular Thursday evening we took my mother-in-law to celebrate her birthday. Our waiter, as usual, was outstanding in both personality and service. We all, surprisingly, decided on sandwiches. My mother-in-law's open face steak sandwich was perfect . She doesn't typically eat an entire meal... ever, but managed to finish almost all of it, with my husband enjoying her last few bites. My husband had the pesto chicken club and I had the chargrilled chicken sandwich and we both agreed that the sandwiches were outstanding, moist, flavorful and were just the right size. We mentioned the birthday and our waiter was kind and thoughtful enough to ask my mother-in-law her dessert preference and brought her a generous slice of carrot cake, most of which went home and provided two more treats for her! We have also enjoyed Skye on many other occasions, with the Dublin lawyer being one of my favorites but their nightly specials usually make it a hard decision. The only disappointment was the lack of entertainment - they have previously had a wonderful piano player, or occasionally guitarist. That really provides wonderful ambiance, but apparently have gone by the wayside. Hopefully it's just a temporary decision. read more

Best Chicken Marsala I've ever had. Also, save room for the delicious gluten free chocolate mousse.

Stayed at the inn for several months and often ate at the bar. The food was always great and the wait staff were very friendly & knowledgeable. I would make a special trip just to eat there. Excellent read more

Been here a few times and always great food and great cocktails. Recommended for a really nice dinner.

It is a nice atmosphere and the food is good! Our server Paul was probably the best server we have had serving us ever!

To me our experience at Skye Bistro was as good as it gets. The ambiance is thoughtful, aesthetically pleasing and relaxing. The staff was proficient, attentive and professional. My husband and I both found the food OUTSTANDING. I had the pork chop and thought it was truly superb. My husband's berry dessert was truly outstanding. To us the meal and the ambiance were just uncommonly good. read more

Skye is truly a hidden treasure! We have been there twice in the last week and have had amazing meals each time. I enjoy good fish, but it can be difficult to prepare. Both meals, however, were perfectly done. Last week, it was barramundi; this week swordfish. Perfect! Tonight my husband had pork tenderloin, which was also wonderful. Skye is becoming the best restaurant in the area! Kudos to the new Chef, Joe, who is both artistic and able to handle the demands of a busy restaurant! Our server, Armando, is also a long-time pro and makes the experience memorable. Michael is the GM and deserves kudos for putting this great team together! You must try Skye soon! read more

My wife and I had an early dinner here on a Monday. The staff was friendly and helpful, but it was obvious that the other waiter was much more interested in customer service than our waitress. Our waitress read off some specials, but we overheard the other waiter reading off a much more extensive list and go out of his way to make his diners much more comfortable. The food was OK, but overpriced for what we received. I would not recommend getting anything with snap peas as the chef does not know to trim the stem ends off of the peas. The risotto also seems to be a favorite as it is a side with many entrees; however, it is a bit dense (Gordon Ramsey would not approve). It is very obvious that they are doing their best to make this establishment work, but I think they still need to update themselves a bit in order to draw a younger crowd. At present, it is a "blue hair" establishment. This may be the image they are looking to portray and clientele they are looking to attract, but the image discourages those under 40 from dining here. I would also look to update the wine list. At present they have a wide range, but these are the very traditional and well-known mega-winery names. I would like to see some more unique items on the list. read more

My wife and I decided to try this restaurant after getting a babysitter for the evening. I used OpenTable to book a reservation for two people at 6:30pm well over a day in advance. We arrived at the restaurant at 6:15pm for the 6:30pm reservation. Our expectation is that we will always wait for a short period while the table becomes available. We went to the hostess stand and gave our name and time upon which the young girl told us it would be just a few minutes. The lobby and atmosphere are very nice so this was not an issue. However, as an efficiency expert I could already ascertain there were issues in the flow of the restaurant. There were suddenly whispers between the hostess and what appeared to be the manager as they realized they had a capacity problem. Shortly thereafter another couple arrives at the hostess stand and states they have also arrived for their reservation at 6:30. Now they had a real problem! At this point I witnessed what I consider to be the death nail to a restaurant environment--they started to move guests already seated at tables!! I watched from afar as i saw the bumbling manager and clueless wait staff pick up other diners drinks and meals to shift them around the restaurant. Absolutely tacky!! After watching this goat rodeo the hostess presented herself at the stand and announced she was ready to seat the other couple who came after us. To the embarrassment of my wife I explained to the hostess that we had arrived and checked In first. Unfortunately the poor girl was just inexperienced and didn't know how to handle the situation. I explained to the hostess I would be posting a poor Yelp review and we immediately departed this poorly managed establishment. The bottom line is this: it is probably a good restaurant, but the management should be fired and the wait staff needs to be properly trained. Topping all of this off was a waiter who was keeping personal tables for his friends (another whisper conversation). We never got to try the food at Skye Bistro but went down the road to Willoughby where we had a stellar meal delivered with impeccable service. If you want to see an epic goat rodeo of mismanagement run to Skye Bistro as they cannot manage their tables or their reservation system! They are an absolute joke! UPDATE: I just read other reviews and reservation management is a common complaint at Skye Bistro. Additionally I see they have relegated themselves to groupons. This is the first step in the demise of an establishment. My prediction is that Skye Bistro will not exist within 12 months and be under a new name by January 2017. read more

Wow! That's how I have to start it off! Best Western Lawnfield Hotel hit a home run when they decided to to listen to patrons and open a fine dining restaurant and bar. I finally had a chance to check it out. We first walked into the bar area, it is is very trendy and sleek, and the bar is opaque with cool blue light shining through it! Very cool! Although our reservations were in the dining room, I was very impressed by the bar area, I will have to check that out at another time! We were promptly and politely greeted and shown to our table. The atmosphere in the dining room is very elegant with a hint of nostalgia floating in the air. Our waiter was more than polite, and he greeted us within a timely fashion and took our drink orders. The menu has a dining room selection, along with "Pub Fare", which you can order off of also even in the dining room. I started off with the crab cakes appetizer which was great!! My dinner was the Salmon dish, and I have to say, the Salmon was FRESH!!! Cooked perfectly, with no heavy Salmon smell I have had in the past. It was nestled in a best of perfectly cooked wild rice and spinach. It was great! My fiance had a bone in chicken of some sort, which I tried, and it was cooked perfectly as well, but still had an unbelievable moistness. We both had dessert, I had the cheesecake, and she had the bread pudding. Both of us were thoroughly impressed with everything and we definitely have found a new regular place for us in Mentor. Skye has definitely got it going on! It is of the ranks of Molinari's and I glad that another fine dining establishment has decided to grow roots in Mentor!! read more

Have dined at Skye Bistro several times with several different guests & everyone always enjoys the meal & comments on what a pleasant surprise Skye Bistro is & that they will be back. This time the guys enjoyed the prime rib special noting great flavor, doneness & the right amount of fat. Loved the "Potato Du jour" Rosemary mashed. Lawnfield salad just the right mix of tasty ingredients & dress perfectly - lightly & not drowned. My first disappointment EVER was the Lobster Mac & Cheese. Description sounded great but I found the cheese sauce mundane & the mac was absolutely drowned in cheese sauce reminiscent of Velveta. Don't mean to knock Velveta but I expect something a bit more sophisticated for an entrée at Skye. High marks for calamari which was tender & delicately breaded. Good selection of beers and Pom martini perfectly mixed. Even if you don't have room for desert get one and share - I recommend the chocolate cake. If you don't go for dinner it's a great place to stop for dessert & coffee or nightcap after a show. We've done this several times but we each get a desert and multiple forks for tasting each others. The place is super clean from the bathrooms, sparkling glassware & table settings, bright white napkins to employees attire. Piano player plays soft dinner music in the restaurant and the Pub is quaint, energetic and friendly. There's even dining on the front porch or around the pool. Skye Bistro is in the Best Western Lawnfield Inn & Suites. If eating "hotel restaurant" food would normally turn you off, as it typically does me, don't let it this time. You won't be disappointed. Though we've never been a guest at the hotel it looks like it would be a pleasant experience. Has a real upscale B&B feel. read more

Went here tonight for dinner with a group of six. We made a reservation which turned out to be wise as it was a busy Friday evening. Several ordered the lobster Mac and cheese, one ordered the chicken Marsala, my wife had pulled pork and I ordered one of the specials that consisted of shrimp, scallops, mussels and Snapper on a bed of rice with asparagus. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals (the special was outstanding), the atmosphere was pleasant and the service was excellent. This was my first visit here and I definitely plan to return. read more

The Dublin Lawyer and Ribeye steak were phenomenal. The atmosphere is classy and tasteful.
