Skydome Restaurant

This place was great for the view. But the service is what brought the rating down. The servers were slow to take our order and bring our drinks out. The place wasn't packed when we had sat down so wasn't sure why it took over 15 minutes to get drinks out. We ordered a smoked drink but then the waiter brought out an old fashion type drink just a fat block of ice and no smoke. We asked what happened to the smoke and he said oh our smoker isn't working... so not sure why he wouldn't mention that first when we ordered the drink. Also took a while to get our bill which was a bit annoying since we had been done for a bit and called the waiter over a bit agoThe food was good !

Food - I will give it one star - the crab cake sandwich was so not fresh that it was not edible. My mom stopped eating it after two bites to avoid getting sick. Please stay away from the cocktails - we ordered two, one is barely ok and the other one tasted like stinky dish washer. Service was quite slow on a Saturday night which I understand, but our side order was missing and they did take it off from the receipt at the end. Our server was so busy that he barely checked on us throughout the dinner. I was so frustrated when I asked twice for water. The only star that I gave was because of the view. It was a good view but not amazing kind. I've been to revolving restaurants in many cities around the world and this one is absolutely the worst. What a shame for the nation's capital.

The fact that this is only 4 stars is on me, because both times I went to Skydome was right around the time of last call and haven't been able to savor their full menu. Reading it, the Americana classics menu runs the gamut from pasta & burgers to steak, along with a solid selection of sides. Similarly the cocktail menu. A 5-star experience starts with their bar staff, who even though I arrived two milliseconds before last call still made a couple of great cocktails. The excellence extends into the panoramic view of DC. If the night is close to full moon - even better!My drinks were their "Sunset Sipper", a smooth nightcap consisting of rum (my substitution), grapefruit juice, elderflower liqueur, honey syrup, and orange bitters. It was blended just right to unwind and have a smooth redeye flight back. Their Malibu Room Orange Bloom was another excellent cocktail. I look forward to returning soon!

Great staff, but honestly this place is not worth the hype. Food was bland, my drink was only "ok", and the circular movement actually made me dizzy.

Was staying at the hotel so decided to come for dessert and wine to take in the view. We came right around sunset time so got to see DC at a beautiful hour from up high. The charcuterie board was very tasty but didn't include much. The wine list was good. I got the apple crisp for dessert which was warm and crispy. I loved have the ice cream in it's on dish so it didn't melt fast or get the crisp soggy.Service was quick and attentive but reservations or a must!

First time here and won't be coming back. It's atop of a hotel and parking is a hassle and costs $25 in the underground garage which is extremely small. Only good thing about this place is the view. As a big foodie myself I enjoy good food at a reasonable price along with good service. The food is brought up via elevator on a hot cart. My partner and I went for my birthday and we got the grilled octopus which was overcooked. Additionally, I got a white wine and my glass was quite dirty. Just like the other reviews, the service is slow and regular.. Nothing else special about this place besides the view. I'd rather eat good food at an indoor restaurant with nice interior design. I don't recommend.

The food was amazing and delightful! It is restaurant week in Arlington where their menu consisted of delicious options for a vegetarian like myself. The service was amazing, the hostess guided us to the sky dome, our server was very kind, and everyone else was just genuinely nice. The ambiance is very relaxing, the view of the establishment was very lovely. The spinning was fun twist for dining. I definitely hope to go again in the future and with the position they're in I think they would do well if they offered a sunrise brunch special.

Skydome Restaurant was the perfect romantic setting to end my birthday trip. Located atop the DoubleTree Hotel in Arlington, it offers a unique revolving view of the DC skyline, creating a stunning 360-degree panorama while you dine. As night fell, the city lights sparkled, adding a magical touch to the evening. The food was fantastic, with a menu full of delicious options, and the staff was attentive and welcoming, making sure everything was just right. If you're looking for a memorable spot to celebrate a special occasion, Skydome is definitely worth a visit!

Celebrating my wife's birthday and they had Great food and the view was amazing. Service was also great no issues at all with the food.

The views of the city are awesome! But the service was terrible! Took over an hour to get our food, it was cold and the waiter had the personality of a rock!!! So disappointed!!!
