    We are locals and there is a reason the Seawatch has been open almost 50 years. From the friendly valet staff then the hostess and the serving staff, they make you feel welcomed. Drink menu is very good and the wine selections are a great pairing for any item on their menu. The location and ambiance makes for a pleasurable dining experience. On our visit (This is one of their busiest weeks of the year) we chose to sit in the patio area to enjoy the night air. Our server was most attentive and informative with our menu questions and wine selections. Food was prepared to perfection, seafood fresh and came out hot. This was quite a task being as busy as they were. We had a wonderful time, as usual as we always count on them for a great dinner or celebrating an occasion with family.

    Service was excellent. The restaurant was busy and the staff kept up the pace. Baked oysters were very tasty. The 5 of us dined and drank for over a few hours. It was a lovely experience.

    The views are great and service level very good. My orange roughy was excellent melt in your mouth quality. Unfortunately the newly added pork chop on the menu did not live up to expectations and was dry. It was already sliced and had a sauce that neither person in my party cared for.
