As far as seafood restaurants go, it was just okay. My bar in Boston is set by Legal Seafoods, which is consistently high quality but a bit boring. You have to be as good, or more interesting, and Skipjacks is neither. more

Seems to be a decent place for sushi, but the salmon I had was small and unsatisfying (even for lunch), and the sides were laughable (some beans or asparagus or somesuch). more

“Love it!”

Skipjack's is a solid bet for a meal. We've been many times and always been happy. We've been to all three locations and like the Newton restaurant the best. Try the bucket of steamed seafood on the appetizer menu! more
