The view was spectacular and I love how the restaurant rotates around but to me the food fell short, I had Caesar salad salad with steak
but the steak was chewy and over cooked.. how can you mess up a salad, I had the chicken wing appetizer and they were ok.. I went for my bday and enjoyed the atmosphere but maybe I just didn’t get the right items to eat
A great place to celebrate!
Burger and crab dip were good. Many of the entrees are very expensive. They validate parking. You have to pay extra to have a table by the window, but you don't actually need it. You can still see out the window fine with the other tables. The floor does a full rotation every 45 minutes.

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.
