The view, cuisine and service were superb. I visited with a friend from overseas for lunch to celebrate my BD. We had fresh steamed clams, open crab sandwich and prime rib sandwich. They were all exquisite. We had crème brûlée dessert that was over the top. Our server Nicole was friendly and knowledgeable. The manager took the time to welcome us. I cherish our time at Skates. Do not miss dining there!
