My experience was very disappointing. The only salvageable part of the night was the love and support from my friends and family…As an Army Veteran and Black business owner myself, I hosted my 30th Birthday dinner here. We paid a deposit for dedicated seating, a birthday sign, and 2 bottles of complimentary wine, none of which we received. Other guests were seated at our table despite our reservation signs, balloons, and occupants. Our one and only waitress was inattentive. The food is good but slow and pricey. The father/son managers are very friendly, but the overall service is poor.
Sky Bistro delivers an exceptional dining experience marked by refined flavors, attentive service, and an elevated atmosphere that lives up to its name. During my visit, I sampled the lamb chops, wings, and a selection of their signature cocktails—each dish and drink exceeded expectations.
The lamb chops were the standout of the evening: expertly seasoned, perfectly tender, and cooked to a precise finish that highlighted the quality of the meat. The wings offered an impressive balance of crisp texture and bold flavor, demonstrating the kitchen’s commitment to elevating even the most familiar dishes. Complementing the meal, the cocktails were skillfully crafted, well-balanced, and visually appealing, showcasing both creativity and consistency behind the bar.
Service throughout the visit was warm, professional, and efficient. Staff members were knowledgeable about the menu and happy to provide recommendations, contributing to a seamless and enjoyable dining experience. The ambiance—modern, stylish, and comfortable—enhanced the overall impression and made Sky Bistro feel like an ideal destination for both casual outings and special occasions.
Sky Bistro succeeds on every level, offering high-quality cuisine and a polished atmosphere without compromising genuine hospitality. It is a restaurant I would confidently recommend and look forward to visiting again.

The food and drinks are sooooo mutha-lovin FIREEEEE ! Omg. 10/10 ! Initially our visit started off a bit rocky but Dennis turned it around & did an amazing job waiting on me and my girls for my birthday 🩷 If you’re ever in Columbia and just need a nice lowkey place with good vibes, good drinks, and good food—Sky Bistro is an ABSOLUTE must.

Full Stars for Downtown Columbia, very nice atmosphere for All Peeps 🥰
We found the Sky Bistro Lounge by chance. It is located downtown in walking distance to the hotel we stayed at. The music was good and added to the vibe. The wait staff were friendly and helpful. The real question is how was the food? Let me say that the mashed potatoes were smooth and buttery. Silky the moment they hit your mouth. The vegetables were cooked to perfection, not soggy or weak. If you like fried fish, you will not be disappointed with the flounder! The ribs were tender and left us feeling full and satisfied! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

Why nobody been told me about this place. Let me start with them salmon bites I don’t know who was back there cooking but them bites was biting, the wings were good not too big and fried perfectly, the steak bites were cooked perfectly but too much seasoning for me but my wife loved them. That seafood combo dinner was outstanding except the crab cakes were too salty for me, I was full after eating 3 of them large shrimp that were cooked perfectly not too much breading and it stayed on the shrimp, I took one bite out of that fried lobster tail and the ittus kicked in. Oh and the lamb chops were on point. My wife said her salmon was bussin as well. The waitress didn’t miss a beat when it came to serving us. You definitely get your money’s worth on anything that you order. Tell the chef or chefs not to change anything except a little less salt. Let me not forget about security they were doing there jobs. Best lounge in Columbia that I know about, we will definitely go back. My wife has the other pictures

I met my boy for Friday happy hour. It wasn't crowded, but we loved all the attention from the 2 bartenders on Friday, 8/1. And compliment to the chef on those steak bites. My 22 year old daughter wanted to know where I eat. I didn't tell her. This is my spot. Lol 😆. Keep up the good work.

Hands down, one of the best brunch experiences in Columbia! Sky Bistro brought the vibes from start to finish. The music was 🔥 thanks to DJ iAM—he played everything from R&B and hip hop to throwbacks and feel-good house. It was the perfect soundtrack for a grown and sexy Sunday.
Shoutout to bartender LALA for keeping the drinks flowing—every cocktail was on point, strong but smooth! And don’t even get me started on the food… easily the BEST brunch food in Columbia. From presentation to flavor, everything hit.
If you’re looking for the perfect brunch spot with top-tier food, unmatched vibes, and amazing service, Sky Bistro is it.
