Skylight Bistro & Wine Bar

Visited the bar for a late night drink and cheesecake, nice open atmosphere good service despite being very busy and very personable servers. Drinks were excellent as well as the dessertIf you are in the Marriott east Indianapolis for a conference, no need to leave, enjoy a beverage here

Since I'm staying at the Marriott, it made sense to at least try the food in the bistro. I was seated very quickly and I then ordered the fish tacos. It was made with avocados, some cheese, lettuce, jalapenos and tilapia with some type of sauce. My first thought when I bit into it was that the fish needed a bit more seasoning. My second bite included a huge slice of jalapeno and there is where things went downhill. Those pieces of jalapeno overpowered the taste of the tacos. I love tasty spicy food but this was no longer fish tacos, it was more like jalapeno tacos. Best advice, skip the tacos or if you do get it order without the jalapeno and use the salt and pepper on the table.For dessert, go for the chocolate ganache with grand mariner. It's rich and decedent.

I stayed at the Marriott for several weeks for work and decided to eat at the restaurant around the lobby, which turns out to be the Skylight Bistro. The food is great, breakfast and dinner, as well as a full, reasonably priced bar. They offer an all you can eat breakfast buffet with basic to more fine options for around 12 to 15$. I've had there nachos, French onion soup, and jumbo shrimp prepared two ways, cocktail and fried. My overall experience was good, other than the shrimp cocktail having a slight distasteful after taste. I recommend skylight for breakfast, or for a drink and dinner after work.

Surprisingly fancy "diamond in the rough" on the eastside. Great atmosphere with an enormous gas fireplace visible from the main entry and the restaurant. I got a ribeye steak with green beans and my wife got the same with asparagus. The ribeyes were cooked wonderfully and the cut was a huge thick piece of meat. It was so buttery tender the first bit surprised me and great flavor. The asparagus and beans were great as well, asparagus served with a lovely hollandaise sauce. We shared appetizers - the firecracker shrimp was great with the biggest shrimp I've ever seen with a tasty sauce on the tempura shrimp. The hummus platter with roasted vegetables was very good - the kale chips were amazing crunchy goodness.

Steak asked for medium came rareSalad was from 4 days ago. Out of cheaper things on menu. Guy next to me said no onions. Yup you guessed it. Onions.

I had dinner here while staying at the Marriott hotel. My experience eating at the bar was mixed. Service was good although my bill was incorrect when it arrived. The salad I had was very good. Fresh and well executed. The linguine was a different story. It was drowned in a thick salty sweet sauce that probably contained my calorie intake for the entire day. If you don't want to leave the hotel, it's not a terrible option.

While staying at the Marriott I have been here now twice. I'll start with the bar in the hotel lobby. It has multiple TVs and a good selection of beer and wine. There is also a full service bar. The service was decent and the bar tender was attentive. I did not get any food but the renovated hotel does have a nice ambiance with a huge gas fireplace and high ceilings. For breakfast we did the buffet. They have a decent selection and they also have a lady making fresh omlettes and waffles. The omlettes were ok and the buffet items were again....ok. For the price of $17 pp and $9 per kid, it's not cheap. The service is very good and the eating area is clean. Overall, slightly pricey with average food but not a bad place to eat if you are staying at the hotel.

Ok, this review is solely for the restaurant and the service. The bartenders throughout my weekend stay were wonderful, as was the guy who made our omelets. We finally decided to eat here on Sunday night, our last night visiting. There was one waiter and one waitress. It took either one forever to even acknowledge us. The waitress finally took our drink order, and then seemed to forget we existed. Finally got our drinks and placed a food order - a simple bowl of white chili. How hard can that be? I'm not sure because we never received it. The table next to us arrived 20 minutes after we did and had their food before us. We finally gave up and bought instant Mac and Cheese from the little store for my daughter. I don't eat processed crap so I just starved instead. I tried to say something to the manager working - Logan - and he could have cared less. Ugh.

Steak bites, margharite flatbread, minestrone soup, chocolate cake. All good. Husband: fettuccini Alfredo, salad with blue cheese. Ditto. Salad was loaded with lots of extras--candied pecans, goat cheese, bacon. It was a real treat. Fryers were broken so menu was limited. Spacious room. High ceilings. Good place for low risk pandemic meal out. Skeletal staff for some reason. No decaf coffee. We appreciated the openness re coffee. Thanks.

I ordered room service from Skylight. The guy who took my order informed me it would be an hour because the pizzas take longer to cook. I was happy when it arrived in just 30 min! The delivery man was very friendly and polite. I ordered a sausage and mushroom pizza. ....it was more like just a mushroom pizza.. the sausage was pretty much non existent unfortunately. And the mushrooms were ehh not that great. I actually ended up picking most of them off. The crust was good though. I wish I would have just ordered cheese or pepperoni.
