Skipper's - Whakatane

I like dining here, the meals are reasonable in price and generous in their portions. Love their rhubarb and apple tart served with custard and and french vanilla ice cream. Great spot out by the waterfront.

Our visit day was on the 25th June, 2013.<br/ <br/ I visited with family to this restaurant (Cheryl McMillan recommended it) and there were quite a lot of us... We sat upstairs to admire the lovely view and it was an exceptionally beautiful sunny day in the midst of winter.<br/ <br/ Anyway we enjoyed all of our meals. The price was just right. The meals were absolutely fabulicious. We did not have to wait very long and the kitchen staff were lovely. They even revealed their recipe for their Island Chicken which was enjoyed by all at our table...<br/ <br/ I definitely would recommend this restaurant to all.. Please don't change your chef or the staff that is involved as they did such a wonderful job...

Visit as often as I can, awesome food, great, friendly staff.This has to be the best eating place in the Bay.Where else can you get best food, staff and view?I often take folk from out of town.My last meal was crumbled scallops and they were divine.

We ate here on Sat 16 Feb, and will have to disagree with Kris H's review the prices are fantastic value for money! The most I saw was $31 and that was for 300 gm scotch fillet with all the accompanying bits and pieces. I had Island Chicken on the recommendation of one of the servers, and it was delicious. My better half had fish and chips, and loved it. The serving was so generous she couldn't finish it. Out host had the seafood platter, which was great value. Especially when compared to a restaurant in Central Auckland which charges $135 for a platter with predominantly the same ingredients and a comparable size. All the staff were friendly, and having eaten in a lot of top Auckland establishments I felt we lost absolutely nothing eating here. Top service, top food, top value. Well done guys we'll be back

I have dined here a couple of times now and I have not been disappointed on any of these occsions. From memory that is about four times and a couple of those have been with family. The meals are so beautiful and there a range to suit everyone and the prices are awesome. I have had the Thai Chicken Curry which was huge and so tasty. My partner has had the steak which was cooked perfectly. The burgers are also yummo I will go back again and again.
