Our dinner was delicious. The pad thai was perfect. The lobster and guacamole was out of this world! Alex was knowledgeable, professional and also easy to talk to. He was attentive to my gluten free needs.

Very good food and service, we sat outside it was a little windy but still warm. We enjoyed a selection of their sandwiches and they have gluten free options if you ask. All were very good especially the cuban one! We also ordered a dessert be warned one will easily feed two or three of you. We had the key lime bar it was delicious.

We've eaten at Sea Watch for years and usually had a very good experience. This time was very disappointing, both in the food and especially the service. We were given a very nice table outside as we requested. However our waitress was completely dismissive. It took nearly 30 minutes to just get waters at our table. We had to rely on other wait staff to answer questions and provide drinks. When she finally did show up, she took our order whereby I told her no less than 4 times that I had a gluten allergy. She even responded that she'd be sure to make a note of it. When the food came, it was not gluten free. Again I had to rely on another server to help correct the situation. Our server never once checked on us, brought us bread (that we asked for), or brought is drink refills. When I finally got my dinner (after everyone else at the table was finished, it was cold and the steak over cooked. Being that it was nearly 1 1/2 hours since being seated, I just gave up and ate some of it. Next, when I asked for a dessert menu, the server couldn't find one and rudely walked away. Now here's the best part, our server came to deliver the bill which was over $200. I would normally tip 20-25%. However in this case I tipped her about 5% (which was a gift, in my opinion). She even went so far as to blame me for not telling her of my gluten allergy. When when the table behind us (also very upset by the terrible service) vouched for me, she then blamed the other servers that were clearly trying to help her. As we were leaving, she was then standing at the upstairs bar chatting with a co-worker (which she did nearly all of the time she should have been waiting on us) at very loudly explained to co-workers and other customers of how insulted she was by the tip. I asked for a manager and after waiting 10 (after the place had closed), I was told he wasn't available. We've always enjoyed this place, but this experience has soured us. The host desk was completely disorganized with 3 ladies arguing with each other. I think management needs to see what's really going on with the experiences at this place. Our entire section became a community with our mutual contempt for the terrible service. Sea Watch....you're better than this. There is no excuse for so many families to have such a bad experience.

We had fantastic drinks with the strawberry daiquiri and amazing food including the mahi mahi sandwich with a gluten free bun (fire) and coconut shrimp. not to mention, the incredible views! Kaitlyn, our waitress, was great, we loved her!

Incredible experience here, can’t say enough nice things and you should def check it out if in the area. Worth the wait to be seated. Outdoor deck overlooking the marina. I have a gluten allergy so the waitress and manager took very good care of me to make sure what I ordered was friendly. The scoobies are a must order! We ordered two because they were so good. All kinds of crabs you could ever want. Delicious spot thank you for a great dining experience.

The atmosphere is great, the food portions are amazing, and they have very good gluten free options.

Incredible experience... everything (the atmosphere, food, and service) was exceptional. I eat gluten free and dairy free, and our waitress was very attentive to my dietary needs and made sure the dishes I chose were safe. She was very friendly and helpful. The ambiance and decor were beautiful and inviting, love the nautical theme. We enjoyed oysters, filet mignon, and salmon. Everyone loved their food, we can't wait to come back next time we're in town! It is a great place for celebrating special occasions.

Absolutely delicious food, super friendly service, yummy drinks and great decor ! Whether you’ve seen the movie or not, you’ll definitely enjoy eating here, especially if you are a shrimp lover. You get to keep the cups from some of the drinks, which are not too overpriced. Nice little water fountain and refreshing mist on the terrace, very pleasant. They were also accommodating of a gluten allergy.

Diana Shaw

Fantastic Maine Lobster on a gluten-free bun. They also have Angry Orchard, beer & wine🍺

Dan Freeland

More of a pub feel- we hung out for hours and had multiple Gluten-free options. The waitstaff was friendly/helpful. Fresh seafood, and if you like oysters-wow! 👌 Would highly recommend. Was pricey because we at 2 1/2 dozen oysters etc. Probably would be $20 per person otherwise.

Jenne Acevedo

Nice restaurant overlooking the yachts and boats. Great drinks and dinner specials. Lots of seafood options. Three kinds of lobster. Many items are gluten free or can be adjusted. So glad we could walk to it from our hotel.

First time and definitely going back. Visually it's an elegant place but not stuffy. Our waiter Hernando was personable and profesional. He guided us from the appetizers to the desserts, not one was bad. The 20 oz Ribeye was AMAZING, flavourful and juicey; better than any fine dinning steakhouse. The gluten free blueberry dessert with vanilla ice cream was hands down the best, light and tasteful. .
