Skates On The Bay, offers good food at typically high Bay Area prices with a great view of the San Francisco Bay. Patrons can easily see both the Bay and Golden Gate Bridges as well as the San Francisco Skyline from the dining room. Skates is located at the tip of the Berkeley Marina, near the Berkeley Pier. It has plenty of free parking on-site.
Skates offers a full bar. The cuisine it serves is primarily seafood and surf-and-turf.
Appeitizers at Skates are great. They offer crab cakes and macademia nut brie among others. They cost about nine dollars a plate, plus or minus a few bucks.
The entrees at Skates are good as well. The last time I ate there I had the mahi mahi and was impressed. Entrees cost around $25. However, the portions are on the small side.
I would recommend making reservations ahead of time, as it often gets very crowded.
