I ordered my ribeye medium...... it was well done but I did not share this with my waiter as I was just enjoying being alone and the gorgeous scenery!
Thank you so much for making my once in a year experience amazing my girlfriend and I have been dating for two years now we always go on our anniversary. We just went Saturday, September 12.

Oh also, I even got me an alcoholic beverage. I asked a waiter I believe his Alberto if he could make me...read full review
Restaurant was an overall good experience; my only complaint is that the tables are awkwardly placed to accommodate the dome shape. I was too close to other diners it was odd to get up, so I only did so when it was time for me to leave. The food, service, cocktails and atmosphere were great. I enjoyed the rotating views as we slowly changed position as the restaurant shifted position.

Skydome Restaurant offers a beautiful view and a unique experience, making it a notable dining destination. The atmosphere is excellent, with professional waiters providing friendly service. The rotating dome showcases stunning views of Arlington, VA, Washington, DC, and planes departing from National Airport, creating a memorable dining environment.
While the food is generally tasty, especially the fried chicken, recent reviews have pointed out some inconsistencies. The grilled octopus appetizer was praised but considered overpriced at $26. Some dishes, like the chicken wings, were noted as underseasoned, and the pasta was described as tasting frozen. Despite these concerns, many guests enjoyed their meals, with a party of seven reporting that all their food was delicious and portions were good.
However, customer service has been criticized, with one reviewer sharing an experience of long waits and forgotten sides. Although the manager offered a discount, it left a guest feeling disappointed on a special occasion. There have also been mentions of minor issues, such as staff not noticing a dropped jacket. Despite these challenges, the overall dining experience remains enjoyable, with many guests appreciating the wonderful views and recommending the experience. Skydome Restaurant continues to attract visitors for its unique setting and ambiance, even if some aspects of the service and food could be improved.
