    Food is great, service very friendly and efficient. My only complaint is the BYO charge ‘per glass’. Our group drank wine and 3 women had bubbles. We were charged for 6 wine glasses AND 3 champagne glasses!! Ridiculous. $6 corkage per person is steep, let alone $6 per individual glass. We complained and they deducted the $18 champagne glasses charge. I joked we will bring our own champagne glasses next time, but it wasn’t really a joke.

    This was our first try of vietnamese food and we were very pleasantly surprised. It was a Monday and we shared the restaurant with only 14 other guests and it was not noisy at all. The beef was amazing, the chicken very tasty. Service was friendly and very quick. They even have wheat beer! We definately will be back.

    We first dined at Sketti on the 20th of December 2024 for my birthday and we were so impressed with the food we returned today for my husband’s birthday. We tried different dishes and on both occasions we were blown away by the amazing food! The food is delicious with generous portions. To top it all off the staff are friendly and the service is fantastic! Sketti has now become our go to place and we will be back!
