We went for Thanksgiving and the food was absolutely delicious. The wait staff went above and beyond with their service. Our cocktails were well prepared and full of flavor. We ordered the crab artichoke dip and it was incredible. I felt like I was home with traditional Thanksgiving plate that I ordered for my main dish. Thanks again Skates on the Bay for a wonderful Thanksgiving.

The service was stellar, the food, especially the Arancini and special pizza was excellent. My only complaint was that we were there early, only a couple other tables in the whole place had customers, but they sat another group at the closest table to us, raising the noise level significantly in our otherwise empty restaurant.
