      This is our second time at Seabird. The first time it was about three years ago. And I haven't had a transformative culinary experience like that in many years. The service has always been excellent The second time around last night was just a surprising and delicious and all the selections were top-notch. My only criticism would be that the catfish and oyster pie was presented in a bowl rather than an in sort of a tapas style flat dish. Just wasn't as savory and comforting as the first time I had that dish. Outside of that, five stars plus. Great company from real characters sitting on either side of us throughout the entire evening. We ended up staying extra just to socialize, which is not normally our thing. Great time overall and will be back. Keep up the good work guys!

      This was our 3rd time here and 2nd time with Sara as our server. She took amazing care of us both times! She is so kind, personable and attentive. It was my mom's birthday and she made it so special for her - gave her a birthday crown, put candles in her dessert and sang happy birthday to her. The amazing food and Sara's awesome service will keep us coming back here. Thanks for an amazing meal!

      We were a party of four. Everyone had a pasta dish and enjoyed it. Our waitress just finished off a very pleasant experience.
