It's with heavy hearts that we have decided to permanently close Sea Glass. Thank you all for your love of the restaurant through the years and sharing your birthdays, anniversaries, engagements and even weddings with us. Unfortunately, the cost of doing business has increased three-fold, if not more since we took it over in September 2022 and although we could put our prices up, we don't feel right charging what we would have to even break even. Sea Glass is not alone - all restaurants are struggling and it won't be long before a burger and fries will be over $30. We hope to see you around town and again, thank you all!

Great food as usual. Waiter was fantastic. Don’t know his name but was awesome.(tall older bald with 30 years of experience). Prices have gone up but still good value and size of meals. Steaks cooked perfectly. Had 2 complimentary desserts for the 2 people celebrating early birthdays. Congrats to all. Great job

What an amazing experience and n Christmas Eve as well. Food was outstanding as well as the service. We got to then look around the gardens after the food. It certainly made things feel very Christmassy.

My husband and I were looking for a restaurant that was outside of our usual rotation, and I had never been to Med Grill before. Loved every aspect of it. The food was delicious, our server was so friendly and the environment was warm, festive and very inviting. We both agreed that this will now be a part of our regular date night spots! Thanks for a great experience!
