My friend and I went here for my birthday, this place is amazing! Our waitress was Tracy and she made my day so special. We tried many different dishes, and the quality is an easy ten out of ten, not to mention the beautiful view we had from our table looking out at San Francisco.
I would definitely comeback again and try everything on their menu! Thank you, Tracy for the wonderful lunch experience!

This place is truly amazingly beautiful. The scenery is breathtaking! We look forward to coming back here. This is truly a gem tucked away on the water to catch a beautiful sunset and a nice meal. I loved the option of “mocktails” and it’s also a kid friendly restaurant. The service was amazing. The recommendations on the dinner options even dessert were excellent!

We visited Skates on the Bay for Christmas lunch, so it wasn’t the typical dining experience – but from what locals say, this restaurant tends to be busy no matter the day. The setting is undeniably stunning: perched right over the water with sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge, it’s hard to beat the atmosphere.
The food was good overall, and while the presentation was fine, the experience had a bit of a “factory output” feel during this high-traffic holiday period. One detail we really appreciated was the elegant glassware, which added a nice touch to the table.
Service was friendly and knowledgeable, though interactions were minimal – likely due to the holiday rush. Pricing leans toward the expensive side, which is worth noting if you’re planning a visit.
In short: beautiful location, solid food, and courteous staff, but expect a bustling environment and premium prices.

We dined last night because I had out of town visitors. The location of Skates is so special, and they have a large parking lot that is free of charge. They also have a driveway for uber/car pick up/drop off near the door. Unfortunately, they did not offer any valet services. The ambience was spectacular, the dining room was clean and spotless. I ordered the filet mignon, and the crab sushi roll. Both were absolutely cooked to perfection or delicious, or both. Our waitress was very friendly and personable, but we never really saw her. She took our drink order, and we asked to order food at the same time as we know it would be a while before she returned. Our drinks were never refilled or asked to be filled the entire meal. No one checked on us after the food was delivered to the table until we were finished eating and trying to make eye contact with a staff member. The service is utterly disappointing, but other than that we will be back! I will be sure to tell my friends to come here, with a fair warning of the slow/melancholy service. I was aware this may be the case from other reviews I had read, so it was not surprising, just a little disappointing for the cost and expectation you bring. Thank you Skates for a memorable night with family and delicious food.

Enjoyed the options on the lunch menu (served until 3pm). I enjoyed the blackened rock cod, green means and rice. Simple but delicious, generously portioned and well priced. The view of the Bay is spectacular. The service was Outstanding, the waitress knew the menu well and made excellent suggestions.

Food was very good. Had lobster bisque, and my goto’s clam chowder and calamari. All good. Excellent service and a great view of the SF and Oakland. Large wall of windows~

Skates on the bay is a must stop for me whenever I’m in the east bay. You cannot beat this view, the food, the service, and ambiance is all top notch. Sandwiches and steaks are all cooked deliciously.

My friends from San Francisco brought me here, and as a Canadian I hate to say it, but this place just isn’t it. The food lacked flavour and was very underwhelming. For over $40 a dish, I expected something memorable — but it fell flat.
The bathroom was unacceptable: no toilet paper and water covering the floor. Service was mediocre at best, with us needing to repeatedly ask for refills despite our server walking past several times. Definitely not worth the price.

This is a great restaurant, with beautiful views of SF and the Golden Gate bridge. The food very tasty and service is excellent. We go at lunch, and prices are not over the top considering what others charge.

The service was a little slow but I had a wonderful experience. I’ve always heard so many good things about it and was finally able to see for myself. Everything I tasted was worth the wait. I tried the Thai Mussels and ate them before I could get a picture. My entree was Salmon and bacon rissoto cakes. Everything was top notch.
