Had a wonderful meal at Skipjacks Thursday night. We haven't been there in years, as we always heard sketchy reviews about it. We did hear today that new management took it over a few years ago, however. We had seven people and everyone gave thumbs up to their dinners. Steaks, seafood, oysters, crab and clam chowda, calamari, were a few of the items circulating at the table. Oh, and lots of wine! Will go back in a heart beat! The place was packed and we had called for reservations ahead of time. Two thumbs up! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

Here's our routine for the last several years. We land, go through customs and get our rental car. We go to our unit, change our clothes and then head to Skipjacks and we both order the Asian Plate. We always go there again for a dinner sometime during our stay. My wife always orders the Asian plate again while I have seafood of some type. They know how to run a restaurant.

We stopped there two years ago to buy fresh fish to cook at home after we picked up our daughter and boyfriend at the airport. I was disappointed that the fish selection was so small, however, when we cooked that fish it was wonderful!

Just an FYI Jim is not the owner but he is a good manager. He did work for Topper but he started out in SXM as the head of the sales department for Sunterra now Diamond. To the best of my knowledge he did not have a restaurant background but obviously he is a fast learner....
Almost forgot to mention we love the food there......
