"The restaurant did not offer sushi on Sundays though it was listed on the website menu. They were also out of several other offerings and the food was just OK, nothing to want to make us return in the future."

"Skipjack's has gone down from being a place you go dressed business casual to a jeans and sweatshirt restaurant. We went for an evening out and could have rolled out of bed for my meal. The server was concerned about filling my water glass all night long, and not my food, or the food at the table."
