Skipper's Pier Restaurant & Dock Bar

This restaurant has an excellent vibe - especially on the back deck seating. The food is typical dock restaurant food - it's acceptable. But the views are glorious. It's one of our favorite places to go with friends to unwind and take in the natural beauty. I took the photo from my table - gorgeous sunset. Service is excellent.

We came for the 5 course wine dinner yesterday night. The food was phenomenal, the wine pairings were good, and great service. They came out between every course to explain the food and wine. It was just an all around pleasant experience. I can't wait to hear about another event in the future.

This place has potential to be great.. I’ll start there! Food is great when made correctly. My first visit (August), I’d give 2.5 stars. Zach was our server and was great! From the pictures, you can see all that was ordered. I loved the crab dip with the pretzel bread and the crab crusted oysters. I also ordered the dynamic duo which to my disappointment came out cold. It wasn’t even lukewarm. The whiskey sirloin was cool too. The grapefruit crush was yummy. Just has a lot of pulp. My second visit was much better in October. I ended up getting the rockfish which was delicious! My soup was piping out. And the raw oysters were fresh. Cozy vibe in there and they also have outdoor seating for nice days.

We had crab dip, crab creamy soup, and the thing we came here for - crabs themselves. The soup and the dip were OK - a bit too much cream and too much of salt to my taste. Crabs were good if you like fiddling with them of course. . This is more of a fish&chips style of place, with relatively high prices. Plastic glasses didn't contribute to the atmosphere.

I’ve visited Skippers many, many times but I am not someone who typically leaves reviews. I attended their recent wine pairing dinner and it was fabulous! From the presentation, to the food, to the service and the wine.. I enjoyed every minute! Dave and Jessica always take the time to visit with their customers and they always make you feel welcome. I left the event knowing that I will be back for the next one, if not sooner.
