    Our server Alex was amazing. He suggested the pork chop and it was delicious! My steak was over cooked twice. Our servers response was the reason that we will go back. Everything else was great.

    The restaurant location is great. I set on the porch of the second floor and it is beautiful. Service was wonderful. Attentive and friendly. I got the Tuna Tartare which was okay, it had too much sauce for my taste as it overpowered the tuna. For the main course, I took the grilled scallop and shrimp. Very good dish, served with vegies cooked just right. I finished with key-lime pie, the pie itself was very good but the cream on the top was too sweet for my taste. It was a good dinner and ill be back to try other dishes.

    Sea Watch is a great local restaurant. The menu has a nice selection, moderately priced and the service was excellent! The view of the ocean is beautiful in the daylight hours so get there before sunset!

    The food was good but for an upscale restaurant the food prep time was remarkably fast. I mean 5 minutes after ordering the food was on the table. Same was true for other tables near us. My wife had a grilled shrimp/scallops entree and I had orange roughy entree. Neither was “piping hot” so it makes me wonder did they have it all prepared in advance.
