Skip's Seafood Bar & Grill

"I was excited to try a local seafood restaurant (something we've been lacking in the southside). We ordered a selection of small plates to share as they sounded more appealing (mains were a selection of fish and meat dishes). We had the scallops, ceviche, shrimp, squid, ravioli, and loaded chips (we ordered the truffle chips but were given these instead). Highlights were: - shrimp (these were huge and juicy with a nice crispy batter, lightly coated in a sweet chilli glaze). - scallops (big and juicy with caramelised edges). - ravioli (this was excellent, the pasta was fresh, the lobster filling was really well seasoned and tasty, and the thermidor cream was full of flavour but didn't overpower the dish). - the salt and chilli squid was good, not over cooked and rubbery. I didn't enjoy the loaded chips (it had an American style cheese sauce on top) and the ceviche was nice, it also had some lovely fresh beetroot however there could have been more sea bass. I was driving so I wasn't drinking, I tried a sip of my partners pinot grigio which was nice, there was a bottle of albarino I would definitely order next time. The cocktail menu had a few interesting ones and we're reasonably priced. The restaurant is nicely decorated with a cosy feel, there is a small TV screen up on the far wall which was a bit distracting (I'm assuming it was for football?). The staff were nice and attentive, and the cost was quite good for what we ordered. I wouldn't say I'd rush back but would definitely visit again. I think it's a big plus for anyone living locally."

"A couple of friends and I booked a table in Skips and it was FAB! The staff were super-efficient, lovely, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We will 100% be back, this place is a new gem on the Southside. Thank you to all the staff for the warm welcome, see you again soon. (P.S. the cocktails are all amazing and there's so many to choose from)"

"Eight of us had Christmas lunch. Food was superb. Most had the turkey dinner, but I shared the seafood platter with a friend. So delicious. Nicest mussels I've ever had. Great value at £60 for two. Place is very nice and the staff were lovely. I will be back."

"There was 6 of us in on Saturday night and had such a lovely experience. Staff were so friendly, the drinks were first class and the food was perfect. Also a great atmosphere with great tunes. Would highly recommend."
