Restaurante Skylab - Rio Othon Palace

Our waiter provided excellent service—attentive and friendly throughout the meal. Unfortunately, the appetizer was disappointing: the bread was stale and the butter lacked flavor. The main courses were much better, and dessert was absolutely delicious. One downside was the young lady at the front door, who was not welcoming. Overall, the highlight of our visit was definitely our waiter’s great service.

Came here for dinner but left after our first drink. I ordered a Manhattan and got a very iced down drink with lime. I’m sure the views would be great mid day but we were here for a nice evening. I’d recommend this place for views, but not for food or drinks. There are too many other great places to explore than to settle for disappointments. This place has extremely high potential, I’d love to see it deliver.

Unfortunately the food here was terrible. Bland black beans, chewy picanha, and underwhelming entrees in general. Service from Antonio was also mediocre despite it being empty, servers didn’t bring enough menus, wasn’t able to split the bill, and took his time to bring us the check. The view is the only thing worth seeing.

Worse grilled salmon I ever had. Barely cooked. I was only able to eat half of it. Had the risotto for side but also nothing special. Not much taste. My husband ordered a fillet mignon and he was never asked how he would like it cooked and it came super well done. Over priced and under deliverer. Wouldn't recommend.

Pretty amazing view. Service was slow. Food meh and over priced by several dollars. Drinks the same. Go for a drink. Get some pics. Then move on with your night.

Nice restaurant on the top floor. The view is very good, even at night. You can either book inside or try to get a table outside, which you can’t book. I was not able to book from reception and had to come back at 7pm when the restaurant opened and book directly there. They have two different menus for inside and outside, but you can order from both regardless of where you sit. The staff were very helpful and had good English. The food took a while to come out which was the only downside. They made a good Aperol Spritz.

One of the meals we had on our trip to RIo, the filet mignon with blue cheese was excellent 👍 and my wife's salmon was excellent also.

It was my first time here and I couldn't have asked for a better experience, from the breath-taking view from the highest roof top in Copacabana, to the absolutely delicious seafood and the best service I have received in my 4 years in Rio de Janeiro, from Gabriel Duarte. Congratulations!

Must visit in Rio. 30th floor, amazing night view on Copacabana. I recommend book a table before visit

Went here for my 28th birthday dinner! The view is GORGEOUS! - 30 floors up. You take a different elevator to the 30th floor - the bellman should help you out & point it out as not all elevators go to the restaurant. Once there - the hostess will seat you. You can call ahead to request a window seat but there are about 4/5 tables located by the window. You ca definitely see the view from all the tables in the restaurant so don't fret - you can also go outside to the pool patio that they have to take pics if you want. We ordered some cocktails - Caipirinha & Mojitos. Both drinks were pretty strong & yummy. I ordered the Shitake Dried Tomato Penne. It was the only vegetarian dish on the menu - FYI. I didn't inquire about making any other dishes vegetarian so it's no fault on them. It was really yummy & when it came out - our waiter put freshly grated Parmesan cheese to top it. Then left the container with the cheese on the table -- so, duh - I added even more cheese. It was delicious! I finished it all. Since it was my birthday - they brought out a chocolate dessert with a sparkler lit and the hostess & the waiter sang 'Happy Birthday' to me. Then they also provided a glass of pink champagne or what looked like Pink Champagne. The service was awesome! Totally recommend!

Where to start..,we had reservation on Friday night at 7:00pm. We arrived 15 min earlier and decided to sit at bar. We didn't get any drink until 7:15. We told we had reservations and was told to pay our tab and they would call. We barely started drinking and they kept on asking us to go inside. Around 7:30 we were moved to our sit. By 7:45 they never asked what we wanted. After waiting we decided to leave. We where the only ones there. When asked for the tab they took forever and I could hear the staff arguing in the back. They brought us a tab 3x more than ours with wrong value. We were so disappointed. We left cash on the table and left to Dom Camilo. Shame on them!!

Beautiful views with shimmers of greatness. The restaurant itself isn't that big, I estimate 15-18 tables. The service is noticeably slow, good thing it's open until 11:30pm. I had the Thai Shrimp soup to start and the scallops with saffron rice. The soup was pretty amazing, when it first came out I thought it was something else because of the pastry top. I cracked it open and the aroma of Thai spices made my mouth water. The shrimp was not overcooked in the soup. Very delicious. I was excited about the next dish. When it first came out, I saw the small 5cm scallops a began to worry. Sure enough, the rice was cold, scallops cold and if it wasn't for the chorizo chips this dish I would have sent it back. For dessert apple tart with vanilla ice cream. It wasn't bad but next time I will pass. No shorts and no flip flops in the restaurant.

The food is very good as well as the Copacabana view from the 30th floor. The service is very very slow though. Come with no rush otherwise you'll be angry.
