    Clearly a very popular restaurant. The food was good - but not great. Particularly liked the calamari. The restaurant is very loud. Probably would not return at night but would like to try lunch and enjoy the view.

    The service was good but the noise level is way too loud. My husband and I were not able to have a normal conversation at our table. the tables are way too close to each each, there is not enough personal space. We heard the conversations of the people at every other table around us. I did to like that.

    It’s always very good dining at the sea watch restaurant, I feel like family every time I go there with family or friends. Go for happy hour and then to enjoy a great meal. Nothing better than that.

    The food was fabulous and the views were nice. Service was good. Only challenge were the people who brought kids that were out of control screaming and carrying on. Nothing the restaurant can control

    I took my wife here for a special birthday lunch. We had a wonderful waiter named Joe up on the second level, outdoors. The breeze was delightful, the view was exceptional, and the food was perfect. Kudos to the chef. I am happy to note that Sea Watch has not changed from the excellent restaurant it's always been. We will certainly be back.
