    Perhaps the best pasta I have ever tasted - seriously great house-made pasta with excellent tooth and perfect sauces. We had both the Cacio e Pepe and pasta al Limone. The caprese salad had amazingly flavorful tomatoes -and in December. Such a great meal, with creative cocktails and cocktails as well. Worth the visit.

    A great experience from our welcome at the front door, through our table experience to our thoroughly satisfied departure. The Christmas special menu was fantastic, and recommended beverages to go with the meal spot on. Waitstaff were very attentive. And watching the kitchen in action was mesmerising, with all staff working so well together on such a busy night. Happy staff certainly made for happy tummies for our party of four!

    We visited the Sky Bistro today for lunch and had an exceptional meal. We arrived slightly early but they still managed to seat us. The view was amazing as we were sat near the window. The service was extremely good mainlyl due to our waitress "Tash". We had the seafood chowder, ranchers pie and bangers & mash which were all amazing. We would highly recommend a visit.
