| - 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.
