S.K.Y. exceeded my expectations! We had a wonderful Valentine’s Day dinner a few nights ago.
Every dish was beautifully plated, creative, and delicious.
We started with the tuna tartare lumpia, sisig, and lobster dumplings. Out of the three, the lobster dumplings were my favorite, but the lumpia and sisig were delicious as well. My boyfriend called the lumpia a “savory cannoli” and I think that’s a pretty accurate description.
For mains, we had the fried chicken and the french onion short rib. The fried chicken was the star of the night – the skin was incredibly crispy and whatever they seasoned it with was just impeccable. The short rib was great as well, and the spinach with a crispy gruyere top that came with it was so so good.
For dessert, we had the bread pudding for which the caramel sauce was very bourbon-y but it was great.
Although a little slow (understandably – it was Valentine’s Day), the service was warm and welcoming.
The singular thing, and very very minor thing, that I have to complain about is that my boyfriend’s main dish came out a few minutes before mine, so he had to wait for me to eat. Again, I give them some lenience because Valentine’s Day. Besides that, everything was perfect!!!

Had the best Valentine’s brunch at the new Lincoln Park location last weekend. We were happy to see that the lobster dumplings and corn madelines were still on the menu in all their glory. New spot felt decadent and still cozy — great music, lots of seating that doesn’t feel cramped, and a dreamy ambience.
Everything we ordered hit. Great flavors, great pacing, no chaos (which honestly deserves its own award on Valentine’s weekend).
Big shoutout to Camillo for taking such good care of us. Super chill, super attentive, and just genuinely kind. He made the whole experience feel smooth and fun without ever being over the top.
10/10. We’ll be back.

The atmosphere was perfect for Valentine’s Day or a romantic date night, service was good but staff seemed to be a little overwhelmed with the number of people, as such they were less attentive but great when they were there.
The food was very good, though for what you get it felt overpriced. I’ve been to plenty of high end restaurants and while value is not the primary goal, it’s still important.
The lobster pot stickers were incredible, though a little heavy with the mint. The brussel sprouts were also great though they could stand to have less fried onions.
The fish dishes were also good but they were under seasoned and let the sauces that accompanied them do the heavy lifting. The sauce was good but I wish those flavors were embedded in the dish further. All that said, this was a great experience that could use a few tweaks to reach perfection.

I’m convinced S.K.Y. could hand me a menu written in Wingdings and whatever I randomly pointed to would still taste great. But let’s skip the suspense: the Hamachi Sashimi is the star, the headliner, the reason to book a reservation. Order one if you’re polite, two if you’re sensible, and three or four if you’re honest with yourself. It was the best thing we ate all week and could easily be its own tasting menu.
The Warm Mushroom Salad followed the Hamachi, which was unfortunate—for the salad. Tough act to follow, though still perfectly fine if you enjoy being reminded of your earlier, better choices.
Maine Lobster Dumplings: generous portion, legitimately delicious.
Slow Roasted Prime Rib: also generous, tender, and cooked exactly the way you hope but rarely get.
Spice Roasted Cauliflower: if you insist on vegetables, these at least reward your virtue.
Desserts are not optional. The Banana Budino is the second-best thing on the menu and fully aware of it. The Carrot Cake is excellent—so good it practically files a complaint if you skip it.
In short: go for the Hamachi, stay for everything else, leave wondering how soon you can justify your next visit.

We enjoyed a birthday celebration at S.K.Y. 2.0. The room is lovely and vibing. The menu is heavily Asian influences. Which, I mean, bibimbap is bibimbap to some degree. This was very good but I can’t say it was go out of the way for it good. The other dishes were fine. Good wine list. Attentive service. People having fun and enjoying the room. We hadn’t been here since L2O in 2008 so happy to have another connection.

S.K.Y used to be the restaurant to go to in Pilsen back before their move to a luxurious apartment complex in Lincoln Park. I’d meant to visit before the relocation but never got around to it so I waited (somewhat impatiently) for the reopening.
The menu is very inventive and full of flavors from all over Asia, Europe, and the Mediterranean. Four small plates and two sides for two people proven to be more than enough.
– THE Sichuan Ricotta: capitalized “THE” was completely necessary. An excellent place to start. The Sichuan ragu had a very welcomed surprising kick but the incredibly silky ricotta balanced it out nicely. The griddle bread was fantastic: beautifully toasted, soft, chewy, and flavorful.
– Maine Lobster Dumplings: the dish everyone talked about. The wrappers were cooked perfectly and boasted a great texture. Each dumpling was stuffed with lobster. They were quite tasty: slightly sweet and meaty from the lobster with a refreshing tang. The mint and herbs on top added a nice burst of freshness.
– Singaporean Chili Crab Cake: crisp, golden crust giving way to a tender, flaky interior. It sat in a tasty sweet-spicy chili sauce. This dish is essentially Singaporean chili crab flavor without any of the labor of cracking shells. Indulgence without the inconvenience.
– Thai Grilled Pork Belly Salad: crunchy shaved cabbage, cucumber, and tomatoes tossed in a punchy nam pla vinaigrette then covered with crispy shallots. On top sat four thick slices of juicy, tender grilled pork belly like crown jewels. The cabbage was a bit too bitter but the pork belly was great.
– Crying Tiger Brussel Sprouts: golden and crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and blanketed in a glorious amount of fried shallots. If I were trying to convert someone into liking brussels sprouts, this is the dish I’d use.
– Crunchy Potato Tots: these golden cubes of shredded potato were enjoyable especially with the truffle aioli. Slightly greasy, but still satisfying.
Chef Stephen Gillanders’ creative prowess is very impressive: bold yet particularly intentional. Flavor-wise, all dishes were consistently strong with a few clear standouts. Maintaining that level of consistency while being this inventive is no small feat.

A stylish & intimate spot for stunning Asian fusion dishes. Lots of memorable bites from our visit – the warm mushroom salad was deeply umami, the Mapo Ricotta with pancake was a standout, and the lamb meatballs were full of flavor. The lobster dumplings were refreshing though a bit light on lobster, and the sisig leaned rich and repetitive. The short rib was wonderfully tender, though we realized too late that the recommended 4-5 dishes was more food than we needed.
Service was attentive (sometimes a bit too frequently) and the added 5% employee benefit charge was a slight downside, though the birthday note they included was a thoughtful touch. Overall, very good food with minor service and spacing drawbacks.

Came to SKY for my girlfriend’s birthday brunch and really enjoyed the experience. The highlight for me was the lobster dumplings—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. We also liked the crispy chicken slider and the spicy baked eggs.
Service was warm, and the team surprised my girlfriend with a birthday card, which made the visit feel extra thoughtful. Overall, a stylish spot with great dishes. Would happily come back.

Got the black truffle croquettes, lobster dumplings, duck confit, fried chicken, pork chops, brussel sprouts, and warm spiced cruller. The croquettes were delightful and very truffle-ly, I’m glad they only had 4 pieces because anything more would have been too much. My favorites were the lobster dumplings and brussel sprouts. The duck confit was dry and tough, the flavor was good but could have passed. Their entrees are very big – the fried chicken was cooked perfectly and still juicy. The pork chops were just ok. But the cruller was very soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside. Would highly recommend this place.

Sometimes, a meal at a restaurant delivers hits after hits, and you can’t help but be impressed that the standard and quality is so high. This is one of those places.
We ordered the hamachi sashimi, lobster dumplings, endive salad, duck confit, brussels sprouts, and prime rib, and carrot cake. Every single dish (save for the brussel sprouts) had us sitting back satisfied after clearing our plates. I especially loved the lobster dumplings, which were packed flavor and luxuriously rich, but not in an overwhelming/heavy way at all. A second favorite was the duck confit which was garnished with green apple slices and puree which balanced perfectly with the duck leg that was falling off the bone, melt-in the-mouth tender.
Now about the brussels sprouts. They were meant to be crying tiger brussels sprouts and I’m pretty sure they forgot to add the sauce since I know the flavor profile of the original Thai dish, but they had essentially no salt or flavor other than being fried and topped with fried alliums. It was a shame since everything else was amazing, and I could have said something, but it was one of the last dishes (a side dish) served with our prime rib. I was already so full and happy with the meal that I let it go. I’m sure it is delicious with the sauce, judging by everything else.
Service was attentive and communicative. The space is very loud though if the restaurant is busy, so be prepared to lean close the table and speak loudly to your table mates and server.
I’m already looking for another night to come back here!
