This past month has been difficult for my family. My father passed away suddenly, and it has been quite an adjustment - particularly for my mom. When I visited recently, I wanted to get my mom and grandma out of the house. Oglebay is not far from my hometown, so we had a day trip adventure that included waterfalls, an Almost Heaven swing, a scenic drive, and, of course, some good food. "Welcome to Skyline Kitchen & Bar, Oglebay Lodge’s gastropub family dining experience inspired by nostalgic and regional favorites. Set against the stunning backdrop where the sky meets the horizon, Skyline Kitchen & Bar is the perfect destination for any meal, a casual seat at the bar, or a late-night snack and cocktail," reads the website. After discovering our initial restaurant was closed for the day and then some navigation confusion, we parked near the West Spa entrance, took the elevator up a few floors and made our way to the restaurant. Overlooking Schenk Lake, Skyline Kitchen & Bar does have a few stairs, which can be difficult to navigate for seniors. but once we were seated, I took in the beauty of the space. Large glass windows provide gorgeous views of the rolling hills. I was initially given a dinner menu and was eyeing a pasta dish, but when the waitress swapped it out for the lunch menu, that option was no longer available. So, I opted for the "Not Your Mama's Sloppy Joe," which I thought was kind of funny since I was actually dining with my mom. First, we started with: Jalapeño Potato Croquettes - Mashed Potatoes, Jalapeños, Cheddar. I didn't find these spicy at all. I wasn't looking for that heat to be dominant, but I did want a little bit of flavor. They came off a bit flat. The roasted red pepper sauce helped. The sloppy joe, though, really impressed me. My typical idea of a sloppy joe is Manwich, a bun and a slice of American cheese. This was an elevated take on that. The meat was not as saucy, but it did have some nice spices and a touch of sweetness. There was a vinegary veggie slaw on top that balanced it out and provided some relief. The whole sandwich tasted fresher, yet with more complex flavors. both my mother and grandma enjoyed the club sandwich. And they were thrilled that we could get waters to go. have you been? Grade: B
