   This was my second time eating at Skulls. The first time, the food was excellent - tried entrees and apps. This past time the food was very average but at high prices. Also had 4 entrees and apps. Porkchop was best thing we ordered out of 4 meals. Paid $40 for Cioppino and it was seafood broth with crawfish only (advertised as shrimp, clams, mussels) shells were in there and I found 3 shrimp tails, but that’s it. I politely asked about it and they were kind and said they’d work it out. They came out with 2 shrimp on a plate, AFTER they had cleared our whole table. It was very awkward and left me feeling embarrassed in front of my friends. They offered a free dessert but I was honestly over it at that point. Seafood dish at a high end restaurant should have the seafood they advertised in it. No bill correction which would have been appropriate given they didn’t manage to fix it within the 30 min we had left to eat. Will not be able to recommend Skulls for anything beyond bar service and drinks after last night. Too many other places to try and support.

   We love coming here; our server was excellent. Tonight, we made the mistake of ordering Lobster Bisque & the Crawfish Gnocchi … tip for diners: avoid the Gnocchi as they just drown the gnocchi with the same Lobster Bisque & there are barely any seafood pieces; it was a soupy mess and we did not finish it. I’d recommend their servers guide restaurant guests away from ordering both in the same sitting. Otherwise, we very much enjoyed!

   Great cocktails, great ambiance. Live music and top notch food. Best lobster bisque we have ever had in our lives. Filet mignon was sensational. Highly recommend, 10/10.

   Sides were a la carte. It would have been nice to have one side offered with steak considering price of steak.

   This restaurant is an absolute gem! The music set the perfect vibe, the ambience was cozy yet sophisticated, and the food was nothing short of incredible. The highlight for me was the lobster bisque—rich, flavorful, and downright unforgettable. Every detail, from the service to the atmosphere, made for an exceptional dining experience. Highly recommend!

   Tuesday night 7 pm res busy not crowded. Seated immediately next to stage. Table was too close to other tables. Was bumping all night. Service a little slow (I was hungry). Nice bourbon selection. Waitress Lea was wonderful. Wife had escargot, I had Caesar salad. Both exceptional. Next she had the roasted half chicken and I had the house special pork chop. Again, both were excellent. All this to the backdrop of fantastic dinner club trio jazz with female cabaret singers. Too full for dessert. Memorable and recommended.

    This place is a very special dining experience. Nowhere can you find a spot with live jazz and mellow music in the middle of the dining room. This type of thing seems like a bygone era but not at the Scull. Stepping inside is like entering an alternate universe with old brick walls, creaking wood floors and upscale dining in an environment that is unique and beyond explanation. The menu offers many options, and pricing is high, but you are paying for an experience and atmosphere that is priceless. We made a reservation and visited the week before Christmas so the musical entertainers played a variety of holiday songs along with old world favorites from the likes of Frand Sinatra to Johnny Cash. I can't say enough good things about this place other than to say you must go and see for yourself.
