    Had a wonderful dinner at Sea Grill Restaurant to celebrate my dad’s birthday! The ambiance was beautiful - very classy and elegant! They really amped up the “ocean” vibes throughout the restaurant. They have an upstairs and a downstairs. We were seated downstairs near the bar, but the noise level was perfect for our party of 6. Upstairs it was much more lively, but still very nice. The service was top notch. They knew we were celebrating a birthday, and our initial interaction with our waitress was when she brought complimentary champagne to the table and a birthday card (so nice!). Cassandra was very attentive throughout the meal and made the experience even more pleasant. Overall, the food was very good! Of the appetizers we ordered, our favorites were the crab croquettes and grilled octopus. The baked oysters were take it or leave it for us - the oysters were almost nonexistent. For the main courses, we did the beef Wellington (great!), salt-baked branzino for two (so good!), and the lamb chops (stellar!), along with asparagus, seasonal vegetables, and parsley risotto. My dad received a complimentary tiramisu for his dessert (not a fan). We also ordered the crème brûlée (pretty good), pear carpaccio (not bad), and the velvet passion (our favorite!). The center has valet parking or you can self-park. Also, special shoutout to Raven - she also was a memorable part of our experience! We had a great experience and we look forward to returning!

    The waiter’s we’re doing what they could and kept cool and composed the whole time! In one ocasión I asked for manager because we were an hour in and no drinks nor pre ordered appetizer, she finally came and by then I had my drinks so I told her I was good, she passed by 2 other tables as poor waiters were running all over the place without drinks in their cups! She was already on the floor she could have been a good leader and helped her staff on the floor instead of running back into hiding. There was no beer only one particular brand, they were out of more than half of their mixed drinks!? The server honestly was the only reason I didn’t get my family and leave like others did, she tried her very best to keep us happy!
