    The food was good but for an upscale restaurant the food prep time was remarkably fast. I mean 5 minutes after ordering the food was on the table. Same was true for other tables near us. My wife had a grilled shrimp/scallops entree and I had orange roughy entree. Neither was “piping hot” so it makes me wonder did they have it all prepared in advance.

    Practically empty we sat on the porch and there were only 2 other tables out there. I don’t know where everyone was on a holiday weekend but boy did we have a nice time enjoyed the views, the cooler weather and delicious food! Always a superb experience at Sea Watch.

    This was the perfect restaurant for my birthday brunch! Usually a restaurant with this kind of ambience and setting doesn't necessarily excel with the food, but everything we had was way above par, from the fried grouper sandwich to the BEST Key Lime Pie (given gratis for my birthday by our wonderful waitress). The prices were less than I would have expected for the quality of the food and the excellence of the staff and setting. I don't know why this place wasn't packed, but probably because it was the end of a holiday weekend. I'll return every time I'm in the area.

    We were offered the upstairs balcony as it was suggested to be less noisy. We loved it! Food,drinks and service were all excellent. We’re coming back! Thank you.

    Very disappointed with the turkey meal. Not the turkey that I anticipated. It did not seem like turkey. It resembled more like processed meat . Did not taste anything. Very little for $50 . Will not return

    Four of us ordered the Thanksgiving dinner special. It was an awesome dinner and a lot to eat. We were seated in the northern room on the lower level. Nicely lit skylights and less noise. The service was excellent. All together it was a very pleasant Thanksgiving Day celebration.
