    What a disappointment. We’ve dined at Sea Watch many times but their food has really gone downhill. The grouper was way overcooked, the blackened scallops & shrimp were over-seasoned and the filet was the size of a hockey puck. The view was beautiful and the service was solid, but that did not overcome the food issues.

    We met our friends at the front of the restaurant. The manager overheard one of them say that she always wanted to come but had never made it. The manager said “follow me. You will have a great time “ and we did, we had a nice table near the windows near the beach. Everything was delicious. It was Wine Down Wednesday. All bottles half price. They have a nice well priced wine list. At half price, it is very reasonable. The mahi mahi was delicious. Our friends had the special and they loved it. Sea Watch is a great destination for locals and out of towners.

    Lovely setting and a good lunch menu. We sat on the covered deck for 11:30 lunch. Scallops were well prepared, and the serving was ample. The Orange Rouffy was a hit, too. It is one of our favorite spots.

    Great location and service. They need to tell customers the prices for daily specials as they are much more than those for the standard fare. Also most of the dishes were saltier than necessary. May not be back after decades of patronage.

    Paula our server was great. Our guests had never been to Sea Watch before & they are fans now! Key lime pie was amazing and best we have had. Crème brûlée could use lots of improvements.
