Skylight Bistro & Wine Bar

Very nice place! The staff is helpful and very polite. The menu is simple and easy, not a book like most places. I got a burger and it was great! The atmosphere is relaxed and it’s a good place to being friends for a beer and some great food. My server was terrible though. Asked for ketchup with my meal, never got it. I sat with no drink for 5 minutes, then had an empty drink halfway through my meal. She never brought ketchup and brought my bill and no water. I lost count how many times she said sorry to me and the people around me doe sucking. If you got a decent server, it’s a good place.

Avoid, staff is very rude especially restaurant manager. Noisy, AVOID for quiet dinner or business meeting.

While staying at the Marriott I have been here now twice. I’ll start with the bar in the hotel lobby. It has multiple TVs and a good selection of beer and wine. There is also a full service bar. The service was decent and the bar tender was attentive. I did not get any food but the renovated hotel does have a nice ambiance with a huge gas fireplace and high ceilings.
For breakfast we did the buffet. They have a decent selection and they also have a lady making fresh omlettes and waffles. The omlettes were ok and the buffet items were again… ok. For the price of $ 17 pp and $ 9 per kid, it’s not cheap. The service is very good and the eating area is clean.
Overall, slightly pricey with average food but not a bad place to eat if you are staying at the hotel.

We stayed in the area on our third night of a long road trip. This place had the highest ratings of anything nearby, so we decided to give it a try. Great choice! Food and wine were very good, atmosphere was relaxed, décor is pleasant. We were pleased.

I agree that the food is quite good but the service, meh. If you order for take-​out, be sure to check your order before you leave. I ordered the seafood flight (ahi ceviche, lump crab, jumbo shrimp cocktail) and a Caesar salad w/​flatbread. Got back to my hotel room & no shrimp or flatbread. Called, went back, got another bag, with one shrimp and still no flatbread. Yeesh! At least they threw in a delicious key lime pie.

Hmmmmm the place is nice, the food is great, the waitress was gorgeous. So why am I not satisfied? Mostly where I’m seated, but because a good meal needs timing. My main course came before I finished my appetizer. My mashed potatoes seemed a bit pre made… and at these prices pre made sides are not allowed.

Seafood out of sight
Service a bit slow, worth the wait.

I have stayed at this hotel several times and always have breakfast here. The food is good and it’s convenient as a guest. Service leaves a little to be desired, the dining room is very spread out and if you get seated by the bar you’re going to have a wait. I don’t think I’ve seen more than two servers working at breakfast and they have to do everything. Seat guests, bus tables, stock the breakfast bar and handle large groups that require a lot of special ordering.
Bottom line if you’re a guest it’s better than venturing out to one of the fast food restaurants on Shadeland Ave. But if your in a hurry I would pass.

It sure is hard to find another hotel restaurant that serves food with this quality.

Food was better than average for a hotel bar/​lounge.
Good beers on tap.
Only problem was that this is a Hotel bar with HUGE TV’s and they don’t even have sports packages. Often us travelers from out of town like to try to not miss our hometown team and they didn’t even get the channels. Seems odd that a hotel bar with GIANT TVs wouldn’t have a sports package. I’m just sayin’

Overall a nice atmosphere. The service at the dining room is horrible. I have been here twice and both times the bartender had to bring me a food menu. The food is good and the bar area is great for watching games. If you want to be waited on promptly sit at the bar and eat or drink.

This place is a hidden gem. Located inside the Marriott Indianapolis East. They offer a nice selection of bistro food. The burgers are thick and juicy, cooked to exact specifications. Prices are surprisingly reasonable with high level atmosphere. I found the lighting on the inner dining area too bright, the outer dining area was more comfortable. This place is well worth checking out whether staying in the hotel or not.

The food is delicious. Seafood is high quality.
