We had a great family experience at skull creek, the kids had fun playing on the playground, the food came in a timely manner , great sized portions. I would recommend making a reservation to cut down on the wait time.

Really wonderful place to eat. Staff was really nice and the fish and other seafood was fresh and well prepared and the sides were equally tasty. They had a good selection of alcoholic beverages and seating options. Wait time was long but that is expected given the date and time of our dinner.

Our bartender was great. the crab cakes are wonderful, hush puppies with honey butter delicious, and she crab soup delicious. I’ve already recommended your restaurant to all of my friends.

Great option for King Crab on HHI. Wonderful large patio. Great service! They do not take reservations, so go early or around 8pm for shorter waits. Check them out if you are in the area.

This place is bustling for a reason! It’s a huge, lively restaurant with stunning river views perfect for a Friday evening. They don’t take reservations, so be prepared for a 1.5-hour wait, but it’s absolutely worth it. The seafood is incredibly fresh and flavorful. We especially loved the scallop ceviche, it had a bold, spicy Peruvian twist that was unforgettable. Bonus: it’s dog-friendly, which made the experience even better.

Went here yesterday with my family around 5pm and were able to get seated right away. We tried the oysters from Maine, and the avocado bomb for an appetizer. The oysters had a good flavor but left something to be more desired as the actual meat in oyster was not very much. The avocado bomb also left more to be desired. The proportion of tuna to avocado was very minimal although the actual flavor of app was very good. For dinner my wife had the bowl of seafood chowder-9/10 generous portion, very good flavor, I had the royal seafood sampler which 8/10 good portion size for price but food could have had more seasoning, my dad had the grouper which was also a generous portion and very tasty 9/10, my mom had the pasta Primavera with shrimp which she loved. Also very generous portion 8/10. Highly recommend to everyone to check this place out.
