    Pan Seared Salmon

    While visiting our daughter in Crestview she chose to eat here for her birthday! The restaurant is cute and cozy nothing fancy. We were greeted warmly upon arrival. Service was pretty quick as we were the first ones there right at opening. Our salads were so fresh and delish with homemade dressing! For our meals as a starter my daughter got the loaded potato soup. Delicious! My husband ordered the mahi-mahi with spinach.. Also delicious! I ordered the pan seared salmon. It was very tasty but I wasn't a fan of the sweet potato purée. It was very good, but the amount was a little too much for me as it got all mixed in with my green beans. My daughter ordered the ribeye steak, medium rare, and it was cooked and seasoned to perfection! Menu was a little limited, and it would have been nice to have more choices of sides like broccoli or asparagus! Overall, it was a good experience and I would recommend this restaurant for at least a try. It is a little pricey though!

    Very cozy ambiance like youre at moms house. They have room for small or large group. Great for a date or get together. Patio seating also available. The staff is friendly and welcoming appears to be a family business. The food is very delicious, the pastas are a favorite and the refills of drinks are plentiful. A good choice!

    The food is not worth the high cost.. There's not many customers do you feel like you're alone. It's also dark inside.

    Food and service was excellent. Wait time was just a few minutes. Best sit-down restaurant in Crestview.

    Food is awesome. Staff is great. It's a little pricy but we'll worth it. You can call ahead of time and make reservations.

We sat outside, enjoyed the live music, and the atmosphere was perfect for a group celebration. Service was quick and attentive, especially considering how busy they were. Food wise, the pimento cheese dip was unfortunately not a hit for our group. It had a very thick, almost paste like consistency and was difficult to spread. I also ordered the corn and crab bisque, and personally was not a fan of the sweeter flavor. For my meal, I ordered the summer salad and absolutely loved it. I finished every bite. Our server also highly recommended the first three fish options on the menu, and everyone who ordered fish completely cleaned their plates. Portion sizes were very generous. The only issue we had was the bride's steak being overcooked, but the manager personally came over, addressed it, and made sure everything was taken care of. Overall, great atmosphere, live music, generous portions, and solid service. A fun spot for groups and celebrations!

    Looking for good seafood while visiting the area and stumbled upon this place. We're so glad we…read moredid! This location is right next to the gas station with outdoor patio seating only. The patio is cute, offering 2 picnic tables & chairs circling fire pits/grills. You order inside at the counter and can take the food to-go or eat on the patio. The cashier helped us decide on ordering fried shrimp, fried fish, steamed shrimp, and potatoes/corn. As soon as we got our order and started eating, we knew that we had to order to more because the seafood was delicious and fresh. The steamed ruby red shrimp were the best! The owner was so hospitable -- he offered us smoked tuna dip & crackers, sodas, s'mores, and key lime pie for free (all delicious btw)! The food here is absolutely amazing and the service is top notch.

    Was headed to Jackacudas for dinner but it ended up being closed (who ended up giving us a coupon…read morefor a free app since they were closed which was very kind of them). We looked up nearby places and went to Skippers. It is located in a gas station parking lot and the seating is only outdoor, but please do not let it dissuade you. This place was the most incredible service and restaurant I've been to in a while! The ambiance is quite nice with the string lights and all of the fires that are there. We were planning on taking everything to go and eating at home, but opted to stay and glad we did. We walked in and were a bit overwhelmed, but the service was so incredible and helped us through our order. We got fried shrimp, steamed shrimp, fried fish and corn and potatoes. As we were waiting for our food, Chet (the owner I presume) came out and greeted us and was so welcoming! We talked for a bit and he returned with some smoked fish dip which was so tasty we finished the container in minutes. They brought out our food and it was so good we went back and ordered a bit more and stayed there to eat it. The shrimp and fish were so fresh and there was plenty of corn and potatoes from our order. After we finished, Chet came out and handed us some key lime pie. I don't typically like key lime pie, but it wasn't too tart like most I had and was so enjoyable I would highly recommend trying it. All in all, this place was my must try / would return to restaurant beating anything else I tried in the area by far. This is a must stop and I'm so glad I came here!
