    If you're looking for a restaurant with fabulous views where you can also dine outside, this is a…read moregreat spot. We got a ​sprawling view of the water from upstairs, which made for ​an ​enjoyable dining experience on a clear 75-degree​ evening. My husband had the pasta with sausage and pistachio pesto and just loved it. In fact, he said it was probably the best pesto he had ever had. I guess than implies that his dish dwarfed my homemade pesto which he used to think was the best. In all fairness, the version at Skipper's was more of a Sicilian style pesto with pistachios, whereas the pesto I make at home for us is a Genovese style pesto. So, I'll let him off the hook this time since the comparison would not be comparing apples to apples. I had the spaghetti​ and lobster entree, which was good, but wasn't quite what I had imagined. I envisioned that the lobster would be intact, but in fact, the lobster meat was diced into chunks. I also wanted ​a lesser sauce-based​ pasta. However, I must confess that my expectations​ weren't met largely due to the​ misinterpretation of my conversation with the waiter. Although Sardinia is a part of Italy, Sardu is also spoken, and it's different than standard Italian. They also make a nice complimentary flatbread, which is included in the standard coperto (cover charge). The flatbread​ alone would easily have been $15.00 in a nice San Francisco restaurant. It was really good​ and easily could've served four. The cover charges in Italy make so much more sense to me than being "coerced​" into leaving ​a tip upwards of 26% in San Francisco to cover the "expected minimum standard tip" of 20% plus the additional SF Healthy​ Tax charges. Most importantly, I can say, without a doubt, that the service we received at every single restaurant throughout​ Italy would put many San Francisco restaurants to shame. We received good to superior service in Italy, without the outrageous so-called "tips" that are expected/mandated in San Francisco. Skipper is located in a beautiful area with several other restaurants to choose from. Definitely a good choice for pleasurable​ outdoor dining.

    One of the best dining experiences of my life. They were so nice and personable. Also the best…read moreseafood ever as well as the best service. They were our friends by the end of the night. The chef came to our table and made very dish from his heart. Please please do yourself a favor and come here.

    We went twice. Once for dinner and that was 4/5 stars. It's a €180 min per person for dinner but…read moreeasy to hit. The service is great and the view is great. It is super loud because of the nightclub, but the food is good. The fish fry and the ragù pasta are both great. But when we went to the beach club a few days later. It was a totally different experience which I would say was 2/5 stars. It was an extremely windy day, and the beach club was "closed". They said we could use the €500 we paid for the beach bed towards the restaurant. But the restaurant had not opened yet so we said it's ok we will sit on the beach for a little bit and hopefully the weather changes. It did not. So when we went to eat at the restaurant we figured from the previous conversation the €500 would go towards that bill. When we went to get out check we were informed that because we sat on the bed (in the extreme wind) for 1.5 hours we would be charged the €500. Then plus what we spent at lunch which was another €650. They ended up comping four drinks for us but still an absolute insane price and terrible customer service.

    The day beach club vibe is just ok. I think the real chill is at Nikki Beach. However the sunset…read more (amazing / beautiful) The night club aspect is very fun with a good chill. The place becomes a happening . The location is very unique / off the side of a mountain overlooking the water. I strongly suggest opting for table service rather than just entry tickets. But do what ever your budget allows. The food is actually good both at the day bed lounges during the day as-well as the restaurant for dinner. Regardless of price, still highly recommend the experience!
