Please just tell me that they did not replace those Captain chairs with more of the same around the bar. I am curious too as to whether Lisa and Nadia (bartenders) and Jim (host) have returned as they all had taken new jobs during the rebuild.

Lisa and Jim are there. Hoping they have the same bar chairs, most comfortable anywhere on the island.

There appear to be some reopening pains. Terribly slow service tonight, with almost an hour wait for our food. Waiter came by to check on us and he did track down our caprese salad about 45 minutes after we'd ordered, but then he advised us there were still 3 tables ahead of us in the kitchen queue. So we waited another 15 minutes for our dinners. I can recall often waiting longer than most restaurants to get my food at Skipjack's, but this was terrible.

I will agree with that. Some things have been hit or miss there in the past.

We have always had great food there especially all types of seafood. Sharon Harris highly recommended it several years ago and she knows all the best dining spots on the island. It also had a nice ambience right on the water. I can't believe you have never eaten there. Hope you can try it next time.

always one of our "go to" places while we're there. Never have had a bad meal, and usually get the spiny lobster or grouper (if they have it).
