My girlfriend recommended this restaurant a while back and we’d been trying (and failing) to snag a reservation ever since. Finally made it Friday night shout out to my bf for scoring an earlier dinner time because it all worked out perfectly.
The restaurant is tucked inside the newly renovated Fairmont Breakers Hotel and wow, they nailed the vibe. Think vintage glamour meets modern sophistication. The hostess was super sweet and sat us at a window table with panoramic views of the harbor and city, major date night energy!
Our server Jessica was a star. Friendly, knowledgeable, and she had the best menu recs that made our night. Service overall was seamless, everyone worked as a team, so we never had to flag anyone down. Attentive without hovering, which is rare!
Drinks:
I started with an Old Fashioned made with Japanese whiskey (Jessica even offered to smoke it loved the extra flair). My bf went with the Smoke ‘n Mirrors super smoky, strong, and perfect for sipping. Later, I switched to white wine to pair with my meal.
Food highlights:
Parker House Rolls & Cultured Butter – Two warm little rolls to kick things off. Simple but perfect.
Oysters with Green Tomato Mignonette – Briny, fresh, and that tangy mignonette was spot-on.
Marinated Local Tomatoes – Jessica’s pick and she was right. The stracciatella cheese (aka the gooey inside of burrata) with tomatoes was so refreshing, totally converted us into stracciatella fans.
Alaskan Halibut – Almond crust gave it a delicate crunch, the Weiser potatoes & sorrel cream tied it all together. I legit cleaned my plate.
Liberty Farms Duck Breast – My bf’s pick. Cooked perfectly pink with a flavorful sauce. He was impressed.
Grilled Romano Beans – The one miss for me. The olive tapenade & oven-dried tomatoes just didn’t hit. Would skip next time.
Peach Flambe– Done table-side with all the drama. Fun presentation, tasty dessert. Next time I’m going for the banana flambe.
By the end, we both agreed that Sky Room absolutely impressed us from start to finish! From the setting to the service to the food, everything just flowed. Can’t wait to come back. Big thanks to Jessica and the whole crew for such a memorable night!
