    Menu seemed limited compared to past occasions. Food was very good. Wife enjoyed the Black Pearl drink.

    Overall this is a great place to eat. Love the atmosphere! The waitstaff was very attentive. We would go back. Appetizers were great, my sides were great. My only complaint would be with my beef. It was a bit fatty (too much to even eat). But everything else was well worth it!

    Went for brunch, had the Brioche French toast. Outstanding! All I can say is bring your appetite. I’ll be finishing the other half of it tomorrow for breakfast.

    One of the very best restaurants in the capital region. The best seafood restaurant by far. Ambience was great, the service was impeccable and most of all the food was delectable. Ricotta bread was spot on, Chilean sea bass: second to none. Perfectly cooked and oh so buttery. Cap it off with an espresso martini and “candy bar” for dessert. Note: must share! Wow. I will be back time and time again. This restaurant would easily succeed in Manhattan.

    We have eaten at Sea Smoke twice to celebrate special occasions both times. We were completely satisfied with the customer service, food and ambiance. It's a wonderful place to eat and socialize and I look forward to other dinners there as well as to try out the patio in the summer time. Thank you for another wonderful dining experience!

    It's great food and great experience. Service is professional and personal. I could hear Thomas talk to our and other tables and his approach and demeanor fit each group, but was a very different approach. What great people skills. It's just a little pricey. Meals $40-60, unless you choose a salad de/o protein, for $14-16. Apps were $20-38.

    Could be a great experience, but the service does not match the ambience. Think Denny’s style service in a beautiful setting with high prices. Table tents and unlit candles with $30-$50 entrees. Broken chairs and chaotic staff running in circles and gossiping at the host stand while customers are left with empty glasses, dirty dishes, and mediocre food. The sea bass was SALTY. So salty that it was all I could taste for hour after eating it. Why didn’t I speak to someone about it? There was literally no one to speak to. The service staff would literally drop food and run. The waiter was never to be seen. The hostess ran our bill at the end and said, “looks like it was all good?” And walked away. Short version: Service does not match the atmosphere or price tag. Not worth it. Save your money.
