Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Southend

Our server at O-Ku made my fiance’s birthday perfect! And the food was amazing!

They just opened for lunch during weekdays and was our first visit for lunch (been there for dinner a few times). Great experience. Had a pizza and a salad to share with my wife. Prices feel a tad high, especially for the salad during lunch, but you get quality food and service (you want cheap counter service, go to Fuel or Inizzio). Great additional option in SouthEnd for lunch.

The food was amazing! We had an assortment of items from the menu and our expectations were exceeded for every single choice. From the Jerk Chicken Noodle Soup to the Southern Fried Chicken, Mac n Cheese, Jerk Lamb Chops, Cinnamon Roll Waffles... we're still trying to decide what our favorite part of the meal was - all of it was my favorite!

Delicious! The Asada experience was so flavorful and hit the spot. Such a vibey restaurant. I do miss the tuna app tho, that was incredible!

Sea Grill had been on my list of places to try since they opened and they did not disappoint. We went last night on a Wednesday which is a great day and special to try out. We were sat downstairs which is small and very intimate. I almost felt I had to whisper in between the music. The restaurant is nicely decorated and saw an upstairs but can’t speak on that portion. The Wednesday special includes a three course meal for only $100. I believe his name was Tyler that was our waiter who was pleasant and had great suggestions when asked. My daughter ordered a Mango sunrise which is an entire sushi roll with shrimp tempura, we ordered the Branzino as the second course(this course is shared so have to decide together). She also needed with the cherry chocolate trifle. I hade the ceviche and crème brûlée for first and third course. I also have a lychee martini which was top tier and balanced. Everything was phenomenal. The Branzino with roasted vegetables and a caper lemon butter sauce was the star of the show. The presentation was nice, the staff took care in filleting the fish and deboning as well as serving. The fish and vegetables were seasoned to perfection. The service was also delicious. I tasted part of my daughter’s mango roll and that was tasty as well. I will say the only thing I did not care for was her trifle, it had a tart, so cream taste in the cream. I felt the service was a little slow for the amount of people there but everything else was so good, I could not take away a star. This place is located in the Epic Center. I parked in the attached parking garage and paid $12 for two hours. In conclusion, Wednesday is a great day for the special to try out. I will also return for brunch and dinner again.
