Skylight Restaurant & Bar

I completely agree with the person who said that this restaurant/bar lacks an identity. I have given it two tries and both experiences were negative.

The first time we tried this bar was on a Saturday night, there was hardly anyone there. We sat at the bar and had several drinks. The bartenders looked miserable, they weren't fun, and they were capping all the alcohol and putting things away at like 11:00.

I decided to give it another try last weekend. We went the night before St. Patrick's Day. There were a few other people there. When we walked in it was about 10:30 or so, the hostess asked us if we were eating or drinking and we said drinking. She sat us at a large table, which I thought after a certain time we should just be able to sit wherever. The waitress came over 5-10 minutes later and introduced herself. We ordered a pitcher of beer. At least 15 minutes went by before a different waiter delivered the beer and told us he would be our waiter. The beer was warm and flat. We hurried through our pitcher and immediately left. The DJ that was working that night also looked completely miserable. There was no audience interaction. She would play music all over the place, country, then 80s, then gangster rap.

They need to figure out what they want to be.

WORST BAR I HAVE EVER BEEN TOO!  I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone after what happened tonight.  It was my first and last time in this place.  We were celebrating a friends birthday and enjoy great music....but that is where the fun stopped.  We ordered a pitcher of beer and it took them nearly 15 minutes to bring it out and at the time they weren't busy.  More so we ended up getting our appetizer before our beer.  Our entire party had very bad food.  Our orders were messed up and my order had to be sent back 3 times and even 2 people in our party never go their food.  We ordered some lemon drop shots and they too were watered down ....but I was charged $14.00  The service was horrible, it was so bad that we just started going to the bar to get drinks.  At the end of the night our bills were all screwed up in our party.  We figured that after the experience we had they would discount our bill, but no instead the manager says he can't do that.  In the end he gave us $3 off our bill...really dude.  Then they hovered over us because they didn't think we would pay our bill.  I could go on and on...but one of the best is that we asked for a pitcher of Guinness Beer and the server asked what kind we wanted....really.....the wait staff didn't know their head from their ass and the manager was a joke.   HORRIBLE is all I have to say....don't go to this place!

My girlfriend and I have been here 4 times. The fourth being the final visit.

1. The first time, we had a sandwich and a wrap, and decent service.

2. The second time, wings and a pitcher for $11(as this was the Sunday special, which we were told was "too good" of a special and that it was going away), and decent service again.

3. Third time, I tried the General Tso's Chicken thinking it would be delicious as this restaurant is owned by the same guy that owns the Legend of Asia next door. Well, it sucked, I couldn't even finish it, took it home to be nice, only to throw it away the next day knowing I'm not going to eat the over-sauced mess. Also had decent service this time.

4. Fourth visit, no food, only drinks. Service left something to be desired. It seemed like the server was a new guy, so that's understandable I guess. Came here to watch the Mizzou basketball game, their second SEC Conference game, which with my experience in food & beverage, you put the local game on the main TVs ALL THE TIME as you are serving locals, ESPECIALLY way the heck out on South 7 Highway. This was not the case, after multiple requests to the MOD, Eric, he finally put the game on the main TV only to change it BACK, almost immediately, to the Broncos/Ravens game. If it was a CHIEFS game I would understand, however, we're not in Maryland or Colorado, this is MISSOURI and there was a MISSOURI GAME available to watch. After multiple conversations with management, we have concluded that this restaurant will no longer receive our patronage.

If the food was better, service got revamped, and management retrained we would reconsider. Until then, they will continue to lose business. I promise.
