    It’s costly but well worth the money. The food and service are exceptional. We are family style that allowed us to indulge in many items, all of which were great. I think they should put the grilled Romaine as a regular side - loved it.

    Make no mistake, we had a nice time and the service and ambiance were excellent. We found the dishes to vary, however. Most were truly excellent, but a couple were a bit off the mark in light of the pricing which is quite aspirational.

    Service was so lovely and had the best first date experience here. Food was delicious, ambiance was beautiful, and it was a quiet atmosphere to talk in without feeling like anyone else could hear. Thank you so much for your kindness, care, and hospitality.

    Food and service were amazing. Price was a bit higher than expected. They put us in a big room with like other tables like it is a room for event not really a place to dine and that was awkward

    A little slow when bringing the food up, and one of the steaks is a bit too salty, besides that all is good.

    My husband and I had the best experience at The Sea. We went in for an early dinner to celebrate our anniversary before heading over to a concert nearby, and the entire experience couldn't have been more perfect. From the appetizers to the desserts, every single course of our meal was delicious. The steaks were perfectly cooked and the sides were so good! Amazing food aside(compliments to the chef), the service was IMPECCABLE. We had the most knowledgable and friendly server, and every member of the staff we interacted with was completely attentive to our table. We will definitely dine at The Sea by Alexander's Steakhouse again!
