New Restaurant

Yesterday I went to the Skyline restaurant on the 42nd floor of the BofA Tower. The views were awesome and the food was pretty good. It is open to the public, I would suggest that you give it a try.

Menu choices? Prices?

It's always fun to go into the high rise buildings and pretend you live in a city.

What direction are the views?? I'd love to see the view North-Northeast from that building.

well, the menu changes everyday. They have soups, salads, sandwiches, desserts, cookies. Yesterday I had shrimp stir fry with an egg roll. They also had baked chicken with sweet potatoes and vegetables. My lunch cost $10 bucks with a drink. The views are facing the south and west, but you can walk around the entire floor and check out the views from all sides. Very cool! I took lots of pics, but dont know how to post them here.

Is it just open for lunch? Do they have a website?

Another typical 11-2 lunch only downtown place. Whooppee. We need tons more of those. I sent them an email to see if they plan on offering dinner service at any time. Imagine the views at night.

Did anyone read recently where Chew was cutting back on dinner to ONLY Thursday and Friday nights? Also, did anyone know that you cannot be served wine or beer there for lunch?

I haven't been to Chew for close to a year...but the last time I certainly had wine with lunch.

Isn't that the old Barnett Executive dining room?

fsujax · October 28, 2009, 03:33:43 PM

It is the old Barnett Executive suites! very nice, but not what it used to be.

Some very nice views from up there. It's cool to be looking down on all of the surrounding towers.
