    FAB-U-LOUS!!!! This restaurant never disappoints and I feel so fortunate to live nearby. Our server Luwanda (sp?) was a delight. She’s attentive and knowledgeable about the menu offerings and made certain our drinks were never empty. Everyone at our table enjoyed their food and said it was “perfect”. I particularly enjoyed my pulled pork sliders. It was a mouth full of flavors. The dishes I’ve had in the past have been flavorful too. The Oyster Rock is definitely a restaurant destination.

    Always an enjoyable experience. Husband had the ribs and I had the Prime rib. Always excellent. Atmosphere was great with the Christmas music. It was an early dinner so it was quieter than later in the evening, which was great. We have been coming here for 3 years and never had a less than excellent meal.

    My first time at SeaBlue., but won’t be my last time! The most amazing dinner I’ve had in a long time . The red grouper was absolutely amazing. A little on the pricey side, but we have done in so many local restaurants that simply don’t know how to cook food. We enjoyed a special night out with friends and could actually have a conversation. Sound level was great
