Skybar is a rooftop bar and restaurant in Glen Waverley. This place is on level 8 of the building which gives it an expansive view over the Glen Waverley and surrounding area. Being a rooftop bar, I was afraid that it would be cold and windy because it was a particularly windy night when we visited this restaurant, but the outdoor dining area was well covered with clear plastic tarp which made it windproof.
We went as part of a Groupon offer which offered good value otherwise it can be a little pricy. I guess part of the price goes towards paying for the view too.
For entree, there was a mix of 4 items - chicken karaage, deep fried calamari, arancini balls and watermelon salad. The watermelon salad was refreshing after all the deep fried items on the plate. It was a good balance.
This is the main I chose - pan fried salmon with beurre blanc sauce and sweet potatoes. The fish was well cooked, but the beurre blanc and fatty salmon was quite rich but a squeeze of lemon soon set it right.
Gaz chose the steak and potato chips. That's typical isn't it, fish for the ladies and meat for the gents.. we get half of each other's plates though so I didn't need to miss out on the steak.
Lastly, green tea panacotta which was so yummy that we practically scraped the bottom of the glass over and over again to make sure we didn't leave anything behind. Delicious!
We found the food to be on the oily side, and I think there is some refinement to be made overall. Service wise, the waitpersons were courteous, almost with an air of fine dining in the way the dishes were presented and explained which was welcomed. This is a nice place for a special occasion that demands a view or for the international visitor.
