I love this restaurant, every time that I have eaten there, the wait staff have been nothing but fabulous and the food delicious. It's sort of like a 1970's vibe woodsy-beachy vibe. read more

Mediocre food, with seafood often overcooked. This establishment is a throwback in the 1985 - 1995 in style and presentation. Salad bar...

Friendly & attentive staff. Fantastic variety on the menu. I enjoyed the Macadamia crusted Halibut. So fresh & perfectly cooked. Great dinner salad and amazing dinner rolls. I can't wait to go back again. read more

Some colleagues and I recently went here and Sea Grill fails to disappoint. We have come here multiple times over the years and it is always good. Our party tried a wide range of food like the linguini, raw oysters, clams, and calamari. Everything was tasty and the drinks were also great. There are two things stopping me from marking as a 5 star: the price is pretty high for what you get, and there were several items out of stock when we went on a Wednesday. Nothing terrible, but still worth stopping by if you're wanting some good food in Eureka. read more

Very clean with a pleasant atmosphere. They had a great 'date night' music vibe through the entire experience. Waitress did a wonderful job of pacing the arrival of appetizers, soups, multiple drinks, and mains so that there was never a backlog or flood of dishes. One of the dishes that came out was the wrong one, and our waitress was kind and quickly got the situation addressed. We got so caught up in the meal and conversation that we hadn't realized we had stayed nearly ~20 minutes after the restaurant had closed. Not once were we rushed, shoo'd, or even made aware the place was past closing. I deeply appreciated this impressive level of consideration and accommodation in service. Parking conveniently next door to the restaurant. read more

In Eureka EAT HERE! Amazing seafood and steak and such an attentive crew. There is. Or one bad thing on the menu and damn the bartenders know how to serve. Yes eureka when I got the job but when I are here I can't wait to return to see my patients thanks to this establishment. read more

Delicious food, friendly service. A gem in downtown Eureka. My partner said his dish was the best pasta he ever had!

We were looking for a place to eat dinner after a long day of driving to Eureka from the bay area. We wanted to try out some seafood - a quick search found this place. We dropped by without a reservation and luckily, we were seated immediately (possibly because it was a weekday). Based on the crowd I saw that day; I would recommend calling once in advance specially on weekends. The food was really good. We tried the clam chowder, fried calamari, scallops and the halibut and every single item was really cooked very well and tasted really good. The service was also very good. At the end of the meal, we left very satisfied. Definitely recommend it. Would love to come back and visit again. read more

*Local Review* I have always loved the sea grill, but have never made a review. It's easily one of the TOP 5 fine dining restaurants in Humboldt County. Located in Eureka, very easy location to find. The parking can be challenging as you park on the street or happen to find a spot in the parking lot. Regardless of parking the food that comes from this kitchen is SOOO GOOD! last night we dined in for my husbands birthday and we were not disappointed. The service was very good, Thank you ladies (Server Katie) (Host Ava and Bussers Nichole and Hebbie) for serving us so well. The Kitchen put out some Fire Meals! View in pictures- we all finished our meals and our appetizers. The food though- left me wanting more. You will not be disappointed if you try anything from here. Might I suggest the seared Ahi Tuna for the appetizer and any special they have going on is always so good. My friend got the stuffed chicken and he said it was amazing! A must Try if you are in Humboldt! 5 stars for me read more

This is when it is fun to write a review of one of our dinning experince. Our desk clerk at our lodging took a chance and didn't recommend a chain resturant. The way her eyes lite up and when she said," If I was on vacation and wanted seafood I would go to the The Sea Grill". I knew we were on to something. We were greated warmly as we entered and our table was safely spaced away from other tables.( covid safety measures are still a constant companion). I started off with a1/2 dozen gems from the sea. It has been too long and were so cool and tasty. My entree was Petrale Sole. When Sole is prepared correctly it is light and flaky. Bingo the Chef nailed. Grilled to perfection with a liberal covering of Dore sauce. My wife went with one of the daily specials, Halibut Cakes and was equally happy with her entree choice. I can't say enough about our waitress,Katie. She guided us towards our choices and provided timely service without hovering. We have been on the road for nearly 3 weeks and tonight we truly had a meal to remember. Too bad Chicago is too far away to hope to be back read more

Eureka Sea Grill - Halibut, veggies, and polenta - Seafood Near Me - Eureka, California

Came as a group of eight. We had the oysters, crab cakes, and calamari as appetizers. The crab cakes were great and had a nice texture, not dry there were two in an order. The calamari was good as well, the batter was nice and crisp. The oysters were okay, quite small tho, I believe there were five or six per plate. For an entree, I got one of the daily specials, the halibut fish and chips. It came with soup, fries, mixed vegetables, and three pieces of battered halibut. The chowder was good, not salty at all and had good seafood flavor. The fries were nice and crisp and the veggies were veggies. The fish was good. The battered crust was very crunchy and the fish was tender and flaky. I believe the special was around $26. The prices were a bit high, especially for fish and chips, but the food was pretty good. read more

Eureka Sea Grill - Halibut fish and chips - Seafood Near Me - Eureka, California

Fantastic food and service, every time. A great selection of fresh seafood, super steaks, and a salad bar worth considering. We try to have a meal here every time we visit Eureka. Sadly, on our recent visit (a Saturday night, celebrating a graduation), they weren't offering the Fisherman's Combination... which was very disappointing. read more

A group tour from Ohio enjoyed this restaurant for dinner. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. The service was attentive, helpful, and efficient. The atmosphere is attractive and welcoming. Our group appreciated the comfortable atmosphere and the very delicious meals. Favorites - stuffed chicken breasts with a rich cream sauce and rice, prime rib and twice baked potatoes, baked white fish and rice, and fish and chips. read more

The Sea Grill is a tried and true fine dining establishment in Eureka. We're in the middle of a pandemic, and still they do not disappoint! Delicious foods, impeccable service! This evening we tried the ahi poke (lunch)... the jalepeño slivers gave it just the right kick. We tried the fish and chips... the fish melted in our mouths, and the house cut French fries were crisp. Scallops, which I never eat, were incredible in a butter wine sauce. Beer battered onion rings and prawns, yum! And the chocolate mousse was divine! Our server was Samuel... one of Eureka's finest! Being in hospitality myself (events), I appreciate exceptional service. What sets Samuel apart from other servers is that he's made waiting his profession... a refined craft... his artistry. Throughout our dining experience I observed him with other guests. He is quick with his tasks, and offers the utmost unrushed presence with his guests with the deepest spirit of service. We feel royal when seated at his tables. The outdoor ambiance is one I hope carries on beyond the pandemic. Sea Grill has set the standard for outdoor fine dining in Old Town! Thank you Holly, the Sea Grill has pivoted in these times beautifully and gracefully... well done!!! read more

The food very tasty, They have several unique dishes. Wait staff was over and beyond in helpful. The atmosphere is Traditional.

I ordered this meal for my mother's birthday. We had never tried it. NO WAY Never again. The containers were filthy, they looked used. Greasy finger prints all over the salad containers. And the food was awful! My fish and chips were cold and soggy. The salad was good, hard to mess that up. The service was awful. They forgot my mother's steak, veggies and potatoes. When I called and spoke with Diane, twice, after realizing the steak wasn't there and then a call back to say the potato and veggies weren't there either. Diane was completely rude to me as if it were my fault. She basically hung up on me. We spent 189.00 dollars on the awful meal with totally rude service. I am not much of a complainer I rarely do this, but it ruined my mom's b day meal and I don't appreciate rude customer service. If you don't want to deliver then don't offer it. Please be better. Such a huge let down for my first time trying this restaurant. Hopefully others have a way better experience. And for their mistake I was treated very rudely instead of suggesting to make it better by adding a free dessert or adjust the meal price. Instead I was treated badly, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant at all. Awful...,eat and pay at own risk. read more

Before I explain, I understand everyone's experience is different, here is mine. Sat at table for 5 minutes and were given a half glass each of water. Every other table had a full bottle. Our glasses sat empty until I finally asked for water. Oysters were not served on a bed of ice and were warm.. my kids buttered noodles looked like a ramen soup of melted butter.. we had to drain before she could eat. My girls halibut was served with the same buttery mess. Our soup, which was supposed to come with/before the meal came after the meal by 10 minutes. $$$ ridiculous! read more

3 stars average? Really, Yelp? We wandered into here after a long drive from the bay area. Needed some good food, and since Eureka is a seaside town, why not seafood? Place is extremely busy. We waited for around 30 minutes and the bartender was super friendly. When we finally got our table though, it took a while for the waitress to take our order. We got the grilled artichoke appetizer special, clam chowders, dungeness crab fettucine and grilled salmon with baked potato on the side. The artichoke was lathered in their special sauce while grilling, and wow, what an appetizer! It's gotta be one of the most flavourful grilled artichokes I've had. The red pepper aioli they serve on the side is almost redundant. The clam chowders are pretty decent. Thick and creamy. The mister really really liked his baked potato that came with the salmon, and my crab fettucine is piled high with crab meat, not to mention that it's super delicious. It feels like a very old school American place -- loads of food, rich and creamy sauces. If you like that, you'll like this place. One caveat though, I know they're busy, but the waitresses kept telling you about it. Sure, I understand, but however busy you are, I don't care, I just want a good experience. If you are looking for superb service, Eureka isn't the place to be =p read more

Eureka Sea Grill - Clam chowder - Seafood Near Me - Eureka, California

If it's you birthday, anniversary, or any reason to have the best food and best restaurant in Eureka Ca. The seafood chowder is the best on the west coast. Skip the salad. A very good variety of fish is always on the menu. Every night they also have great specials, both seafood as well as beef. Great service and the feeling of being in a classy hotel dining room, along we a nice long bar for any cocktails you may desire. They also have a private room in the rear for large parties in private. I have had great dinners with my lodge in the past so I attest to the Sea Grill is the place to go.Baked OystersDungeness Crab Alfredo read more

Tonight was my first time here and it was AMAZING. I got a macadamia nut encrusted halibut with lobster sauce special and it was out of this world, tasty and perfectly cooked! It was a bit of a wait but I didn't mind at all, the staff kept me updated on the food's status (the was a sudden rush for this tasty special) and made sure to check in on me - being seated by myself near the bar I didn't feel neglected at all! Great tip on saving a little bread to dip in the fabulous lobster sauce :) I will be back! Edited to add an important detail: best clam chowder!!! read more

We paid $60 for hardly any food and it was the wrong order to go. I received half an order of chowder, fries when I ordered a baked potato, and not even crab to feed one person even though it's supposed to be a pound. We didn't get any utensils either and when I called to tell them the mistake they just stayed silent and told me they'd be closed for the next few days for a reimbursement. Won't be coming back again. read more

What a awesome place!! They have a bar on the side that the second I walked I felt at home! The two girls (this morning I forgot their names) are so warm and friendly. That means a lot to a traveling sales person! They recommended the macadamia Inuit halibut in lobster sauce and it was so good!!! Everyone was so friendly and I will be planning a dinner meeting here because they have the perfect separate meeting room!! Thanks again for being so sweet ladies. See you next trip for the upcoming Coippino read more

On a long drive from WA to SoCal, we decided to stop in Eureka for a night. Looked online at a few dinner options and drove by one and decided to explore more in the area. Came across Sea Grill and it was fantastic! Great service, drinks and the appetizers and mains were delicious. Finished the night with a slice of Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Torte which was really delicious. Glad we found Sea Grill and hopefully we'll find our way there again read more

Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. The seafood is always fresh and they have a great salad bar. The drinks from the bar are always good. This place is an all time favorite. read more

Pricy, out of clams which is why we came. CB lam chowder was tasteless and thick like gravy. Waitress tried very hard and was actually running to get our orders. read more

Great atmosphere! 3 of 4 dinners were good. My Ahi Steak was fatty and stringy. I made our waiter aware of it. He comped us a dessert; I felt the meal needed to be replaced by a better quality of Ahi or offered a different meal. For $35 I would have expected a different gesture! Hope to hear from the owner. read more

The food is good but the facility itself is mediocre. It badly needs an interior update. For the price it should be nicer. It also used to have a salad bar that was the best in town but covid took it out and they never bothered to put it back in. read more

Excellent service, fresh seafood and wonderful old world atmosphere. If you are in Eureka a for only one meal, this is the place to go !

I have been here a handful of times over the last few months, seated outdoors. The staff is attentive and kind, and service is quick for being outdoors during Covid. On one of the trips I brought my mom, and she LOVED it. The seafood chowder is excellent (always arriving HOT), and each time I've had the broiled oyster appetizer - super yummy. I've tried a number of items from the menu and have like all of them, with my favorite being the petrale sole. I only have a couple more weeks here, but am definitely going to stop by again before I leave! Added plus - outdoor seating is dog-friendly; my girl Sadie is going to miss coming here when we leave! read more

Highly recommend the batterless sole and/or scallops. The polenta cakes were amazing too. Everything was priced very fairly - almost too fairly - and the servers, bar, host and bussers worked together like a well-oiled machine. Place was bumpin' so I'd suggest making reservations. read more

Outstanding food and outstanding service. My only complaint is that they didn't have any rib eyes. So I got the prime rib, not my favorite, but it was still very tasty and serving sizes were generous. read more

Came here with my family and the food was amazing! Service was excellence and it was a very cute place. Definitely going back!

This is a very nice restaurant. The decor is old fashioned but the service is amazing! The staffs were so attentive to me, always making sure that my water is filled at all times. Now, let's talk about the foods. Okay, I admit. I went rogue today. Sea Grill means seafood, not steak. But I justify that the word grill could mean grilling a steak so I ordered the ribeye instead of halibut or salmon. The ribeye was about 14 ounces and it was huge. I could not finish it. They cooked it medium rare. That was exactly what I wanted. The outside fat was charred and burnt, and yet the temperature was still medium rare. My only gripe was the fact that the burnt fat tasted like it was lightly soaked in gasoline. You can smell the gasoline fume. Maybe their gasoline powered grill left an odor. It would have been more tolerated if it was charcoaled. The salad was okay. The dressing were nothing special. The key lime pie was excellent. Granted, I am a sucker for key lime pie. Every key lime pie tastes good to me. Overall, I'd I'm back here, I'd definitely come back and stick to the seafood menu. For #Thinsulun fans, there are many green light options. read more

Had an amazing dinner for our anniversary this weekend. They were busy but managed to get us in last minute.

Visiting a friend that lives in the area, she highly recommended I try this place and it did not disappoint! Starting with the clam chowder that had the perfect consistency, definitely made from scratch. My husband and I really enjoyed the halibut and surf n' turf. Service was great, I will definitely be returning. read more
