    Everything was as amazing as we remembered from the last time many years ago when we were there on a visit to Fort Lauderdale. I only wish we had gone during the day when we could have enjoyed the view. The Christmas decorations in the main room were magical. The staff was helpful and our server, Heather, was especially kind and efficient. The food was delicious and delivered promptly. No complains at all. We look forward to our next visit.

    Great lunch stop right on the beach. We sat outside on the upper deck and enjoyed the beach and ocean views. Food is great, scallops and grouper were both excellent. Wait staff is attentive and friendly. Prices are rather reasonable as compared to places of similar location and quality. We've been going there annually for years as we pass through and would not miss it. Look for the big red fish.

    Great Restaurant! Old school ambiance, fantastic food, wonderful service. A great place to celebrate a special occasion, or any occasion. Great Happy Hour menu and prices, upstairs bar is very nice. Complimentary valet service! Went at night so didn’t get to actually see the ocean view but I will go back to check it. Enjoy!

    We have been coming here for many years celebrating many special occasions.It is a beautiful location. I have lived in Florida since 1990 but also came here in the 1980’s while on vacation. The food quality is not the same. Especially with high end prices quality is expected.The atmosphere is spectacular but the nostalgia of it all keeps me coming back and trying it again, hoping the food gets better . We are in our late 50’s and I saw many elderly couples here probably coming back for the same reasons as we did for the old reputation this restaurant had in the 1980’s . Let’s hope it gets better in the new year!

    The filet mignon was cut unevenly, which resulted in a lot of medium-well (well?) done on a steak ordered medium rare. And the texture tough- not sure it was a filet cut. Open Table had asked about special occasion, and it was our 47th wedding anniversary, but not a word was mentioned about that, either. We’ve been Sea Watch customers for 40 years, but this steak was very disappointing.

    Always a fun venue for our holiday get together. The Holiday Menu was my favorite today. I had the pappadelle and seafood, with a whole lobster tail. Declicious! Friends enjoyed the Fish and Chips. Everyone was happy.
