Skeetas Restaurant Bar & Cafe

Thank you for the window seat for our New Year's Eve celebration dinner. My son loved the meat pizza and peach tea. The scallops in the entree were frozen not fresh, they were exactly like the ones I get frozen from Farmer Jacks. One scallop was half only. I had the Dhufish with strawberry salad and, for $68, I thought it would be exceptional but it was average. The fish itself was cooked well (tender, somewhat crispy skin), but it lacked a burst of delicious flavour. Meal sizes were fine.

We were in Geraldton from Sydney on a road trip from Perth to Monkey Mia and stayed a few nights in town. Everyone recommended Skeetas, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We went for dinner on our first night (NYE) and enjoyed it so much that we came back again the following night. The location over the water is fantastic, the cake display is impressive, the fish of the day (dhufish) was excellent, and the service was very friendly. In fact, every dish we had was outstanding. Highly recommended.

Ordered the special MB 8/9+ Western Australian Wagyu tenderloin with garlic butter broccolini, spiced kipfler potatoes and red wine jus. Requested it well done, but it came out charred and extremely dry, to the point it was unpleasant and hard to eat. At $68, this dish was absolutely not worth the price and well below expectations for a premium Wagyu steak. After explaining it with the wait staff, they kindly allowed us to change the meal to the lemon chicken, which was actually good. The service throughout was friendly. Unfortunately, the initial dish and overall experience didn’t live up to the price or reputation.

The call was answered by an AI system, so I didn’t end up making a reservation. When we arrived, we waited about 30 minutes for a table. The food was good — the day’s fish and seafood risotto were both tasty, though the portions were on the smaller side.

The hommus and bread were amazing and definitely a starter I’d recommend, though a little extra bread would’ve made it perfect. The garlic prawns were full of flavour, the steak was cooked exactly to perfection, and the Kilpatrick oysters were really good. The only dish that fell a little short was the scallops — they were small and I think they would’ve been much nicer left as they are, rather than wrapped in bacon. The atmosphere was lovely, with background music at just the right level — you could hear it without it being too loud, which is something I really value in restaurants. On top of that, the view of the harbour created a beautiful setting to enjoy the meal. The service was excellent from start to finish. The staff were warm and accommodating, even when we came in an hour earlier just to use the bathrooms while checking into our hotel. That friendliness really added to the experience. Overall, Skeetas is a great spot in Geraldton — good food, welcoming service, and a relaxed atmosphere with gorgeous views. Definitely worth a visit.

Was very disappointed with the food and the service here. Got the Garlic Prawn, King Prawn risotto and Crab linguine. Took nearly an hour for the food to come to us and we had to go ask them multiple times about our food. People who came after us were getting their food and finishing it while we had nothing. When the food was finally served, the quality of the food was unbelievable disgusting. They had and hour to cook and then, the pasta was over cooked to the point that it break in to pieces when you pick up with the fork and the risotto was undercooked. The staff had no remorse and no apologies were given. Can’t believe we had to pay for $135 for that experience.

We had a wonderful experience at Skeetas Restaurant Bar & Café! They offer some vegan options, which is always appreciated, and everything we tried was very tasty. The absolute highlight was the hummus – honestly the best I’ve had in a long time. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the service attentive. Great spot for a nice meal with friends or family.

Picturesque spot in front of the breakwater that is quite cosy and vibrant. We were a group of 4 for breakfast that had very helpful staff guide us through the menu. Nice touch with the barista coming out and asking if the coffees were ok Definitely head there if you’re in town

I'm going to have to rag on this place even though staff were really nice. Ok, so the order went in wrong and they very nicely fixed it. A few times. Not a big deal. But then... I wished I could have cancelled it! We like Oysters and Geraldton is "a seafood town." Should have paid more attention as these ones are Coffin bay and with Covid they must have taken 3 months to get here. Mush. So distasteful. Somehow the natural mushy oysters tasted of Omo washing powder . Their effort to hide the mush with an awful melted sweet poorly-paired sorbet was offensive. I gagged and spat it out. The Parmesan & rocket salad is pictured And then, the kicker after unpleasant food, it was 1.5 hours waiting for TAKE-AWAY mains. The oven baked Rock Lobster was good & perfectly cooked. Probably too much garlic for most. Must have been frozen for a long time. The steak. See the picture. Very heavy handed sauce. Not terrible: simplest explanation is pub food. To the restaurant: 1) Do not serve old/bad ingredients: discard them. 2) If you don't have the staff to cook/serve/deliver your food, refuse the order 3) Pub food

A re-styled concept of marina side dining, within the mantra complex in the city centre. Skeetas was formally homed on the main drag before it's move to this lovely new spot. Definitely a fresh clean look! An A+ for location but food is still average. However, the Service was good. Neat casual dress req'd.

What a wonderful location and view! We were able to watch the sun set over the boats in the marina. We had a cheese platter which had excellent variety and the mains were fantastic also. The service was great with people regularly checking in and very polite. I would certainly recommend you go there!

I just had fish and chips here, just beautiful, amazing. Ha I went back for seconds in the same night.

Skeeta's has moved but still has way cool water views, in fact better cos now you can envy the boats rocking in the marina. Went for breakfast with the Captain recently and the coffee is great but the food was weird. I ordered bruschetta at $19.50 and it was a small cold thin slice of Turkish with two sliced cold pale tomato, eggs and wilted rocket. The Cap's poached eggs were great as was his cap. I'd return but I'd be very careful about my order. Never thought to ask, how do you do your bruschetta?
