Recently, I had the pleasure of dining at Skates On The Bay, a restaurant known for its stunning views and a menu that promises an exciting blend of flavors. The experience starts on a high note with complimentary bread that is simply delicious – don't hesitate to ask for more if you finish your basket! I tried the Kung Pao squid, which was a delightful mix of sour and sweet, perfectly appetizing as a starter. The seafood pasta also came highly recommended and did not disappoint with its fresh flavors.
However, not everything at Skates On The Bay hit the mark. While the clam chowder was exceptional, some dishes like the fish and chips were a letdown due to undercooked breading. Also, the prime rib was a miss for me; it was overcooked and unevenly seasoned. On the beverage front, the cocktails were a mixed bag – some were great, but others tasted off, not quite hitting the expected notes.
Despite these culinary ups and downs, the ambiance of Skates On The Bay, especially if you get a window table, is hard to beat. Overlooking the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, the view can elevate any dining experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just in for a meal, the setting paired with hits from the menu can make for a memorable outing.
