   I'm writing this review because I was surprised to see this restaurant only has four stars. We have been going to Skates for years, and I would definitely give it five stars. The service is excellent. The food is unique and delicious, the staff is friendly and helpful, and you cannot beat the ambience. Skates is built OVER the SF bay. Patrons have a full view of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Richmond bridge along with the Berkely Pier and the entire city of San Francisco. If you can, go there just before sunset, and watch the sun go down as you look out the enormous picture windows which span the restaurant in three directions. Even after dark, the light dances off the waters. You will not feel rushed, either. They have a bar area, if you have to wait, and their appetizers are always original and delightfully tasty. Desserts are also tops with us! Enjoy one with a final cup of very delicious coffee.
