Restaurants near Dowd House Historic Site

Me and my wife typically have a yearly tradition of going to the same restaurant for Valentines Day. Unfortunately, this year we could get a reservation for the weekend. I looked up Sea Grill and was able to book a reservation for Sunday. It beyond exceeded our expectations. From beginning to end, we were thoroughly impressed. We were greeted with courteous service as soon as we walked in and were seated. We ordered 3 apps and 2 drinks and were blown away by the flavor, presentation, and overall quality and literally could've stopped there as we were both full and satisfied. That wasn't the case thankfully as Tyler recommended a shared Entree (Salt-Baked Branzino). It was unreal in such a good way. The manager even walked up with such a radiant smile and asked how everything was and how the experience was. I couldn't help but brag about what a great we were having. This place deserves serious praise. We will absolutely be back there.

This was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! Our server was top tier, the food was incredible, drinks were strong, and the ambiance is absolutely breathtaking. There was live music that was enjoyable as well. What a wonderful first visit.

This was out second time visiting and we were NOT disappointed! First, commendable professionalism at the entrance and throughout service! 👏🏽 We had the fried green tomatoes and crab cakes for appetizers; my wife ordered the blackened salmon for her entree, with mac n cheese, and I tried the fish and grits. 🤤 Portions are always giving, and food was amazing!! 🤩 Music was just a bit loud and at times, hard to talk over. “However Comma” - the curated playlist gave us all the vibes, so we weren’t mad at all. 🎶 Service was absolutely on point (thank you Calissa!)! 🙏🏽 Definitely recommend! 🙌🏽

Excellent Valentines Day experience . The special menu had enough choices to have something for everyone, and the food was delicious and service was excellent. The prices were elevated for the Valentine’s Day , which I do understand. Gotta make that money . I get it. Some of the prices did seem excessive though. For example , one small crabcake (maybe 3 oz) was $19. The filet mignon offering looked like a pretty modest cut , maybe (5-6 oz precook). I guess I’m just saying for $100, per person , the food was very good , but I don’t know that I would say a great ‘value’. They definitely marked up for the holiday.

A truly great French restaurant, with excellent dishes and outstanding service. Dishes tried. Every one was outstanding: oysters, escargot, sea bass, duck confit, hanger steak, creme brûlée. Steak frites with hanger steak and Bearnaise sauce was cooked to perfection medium-rare. Duck confit with melted leeks and banyuls jus was terrific, and I make duck confit regularly. The restaurant has to be one of the most beautiful in the city with high-ceilings and decor that makes you feel you are in Paris. Service was as good as the food. The bartenders, server, and service/FOH manager went out of the way to accommodate a couple of requests.
