    it’s always wonderful when we go. The atmosphere is great, a view of the ocean and wonderful food. Very sad to hear it was closing for three months but they’re renovating and it’ll be back better than ever. Can’t wait for October.

    Have eaten at Sea Watch many times, I always try to enjoy a new dish. The Dianne Salad was delicious, and huge! Very fresh, chunks of chicken, shredded lettuce, crisp noodles, slivered almonds, and a great tasting dressing. Took half home for dinner. Friends said the Fish & Chips were good, as well as Blackened Mahi Mahi. We were delighted to be served by Mary, a long-time employee who always gives excellent service and attention. As always, the view and ambiance were everything you could wish for. Just had to eat there one more time before renovations begin. Looking forward to them re-opening in the Fall.

    We go about once every two months for the stuffed grouper. It’s always excellent as it was yesterday. We tried the shrimp cocktail as an appetizer and we were very disappointed. A side from only being 4, most places serve 5, they were barely 16-20 shrimp. Very skimpy for the price and the restaurant. If you are going to put them on the menu they should be the large 15u. Service was ok and we sat outside on a beautiful evening. We will definitely be back after the remodel but won’t be getting the shrimp unless you change it.
