Skates on the Bay is Berkeley's premier destination restaurant specializing in fresh seafood, oysters and sushi accompanied by a resplendent bay view. Skates is the perfect setting for your rehearsal dinner, anniversary party or wedding and baby showers. Corporate events held at Skates become occasions your guests and clients will talk about for years to come. Our private dining room, aptly named "The Bay View Room", seats up to 70 guests for a plated, sit down dinner and can accommodate up to 80 for a standing cocktail reception. If your group is more than 80 please ask us about a complete or partial restaurant buyout. Skates on the Bay is a beautiful and historic waterfront gathering place for fresh seafood and unmatched views of the San Francisco Bay. Originally opened in 1984 in the Berkeley Marina, the reimagined Skates on the Bay now boasts a modern and stunning decor, a new Raw Bar, elegant Private Dining Room and innovative local-driven menus. Stop by for a quick bite in the bar after work, sample the freshest shellfish and sushi from our raw bar, or come celebrate a special occasion with an elegant brunch or romantic dinner--Skates offers something for everyone!
