Restaurants near Sweet Briar Museum

PLACE IS OUTSTANDING !! BETTER THAN RUTH CHRIS IN MY OPINION!

Great food and service! Waitress was funny and knowledgeable. Food was on par.

We had an EXCEPTIONAL experience from the moment we walked in until we left. Our waiter was excellent, and he steered us in the right directions for selecting exquisite meals. The restaurant is beautiful - decor perfect and music was so relaxing. Thank you for an amazing evening!

We had a wonderful experience at the Skyline. We had an early dinner, as we had tickets to a show later that evening. It was warm enough that we were able to eat out on the covered patio with the fireplaces going to just a bit of heat - great ambiance and beautiful views. Although not what I would call extensive, the wine/drink menu was impressive with some excellent choices for both beer, cocktails, and wine by the glass and bottle. We started with the crispy pork belly as an appetizer and were not disappointed. It was enough for the 3 of us to have several bites - the sweetness of the orange glaze offered a subtle but delicious enhancement. We had 3 different entrées: the stuffed trout, seared sea scallops over risotto, and the pork ribeye; all were excellent. The addition of goat cheese to the vegetables that came with the pork ribeye added a unique flavor that was delicious, particularly when mixed with the sorghum glaze on the pork. We finished by sharing an apple crisp, which was loaded with apples that retained good texture, was well spiced and had a great crisp topping. My only complaint would have been the graham cracker crust that was a bit dry and bitter. I would have preferred a flakey pie crust, or perhaps a shortbread crust if anything. Except for a brief period at the beginning when our waiter "disappeared" for several minutes, the service was professional and attentive. Our waiter also was very knowledgeable regarding the various menu items and made some good suggestions when asked. I would definitely recommend The Skyline.

This is a great place to take your wife for a special occasion, the food ambiance, and staff was awesome. I will be going back there again in the future.
