I absolutely love this restaurant, so when my dining partner canceled our plans to dine at Sea Bar tonight I was extremely disappointed. Not easily daunted, I drove over and picked up my favorites: delectable fish tacos, beet salad with whipped skordalia and lovely baklava with berries. I have enjoyed many meals at this establishment and have never been disappointed. The staff is attentive without being cloying and always pleasant. This restaurant is consistently spot on and keeps me coming ba read more

We had a pleasant start at Sea Bar in Great Neck. Friendly greeting, nice bread and hummus, solid crab cake and grilled octopus appetizers. The fried potatoes were delicious, and most of our mains were decent. The sole and second crab cake were fine, spinach was good. Unfortunately, their signature lobster pasta was a major disappointment. It arrived as overcooked, mushy pasta that was scalding hot, like it had just come out of a microwave, with almost no flavor and zero texture. It tasted like cafeteria food, not restaurant quality. We sent it back twice. When we asked for a third try, they said it would take 15 minutes and seemed to discourage us from ordering it again, even though they admitted they could make it right with fresh al dente pasta. That wait time honestly made no sense for this pasta. Desserts and coffee were also weak. The staff was friendly and the wine list had a couple decent options, but the kitchen needs serious improvement. They have potential, just need to cook like professionals instead of taking shortcuts read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant felt airy and inviting, with large open windows and tasteful decor that almost made it feel like dining by the beach--if only the weather had cooperated that day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was friendly, relaxed, and efficient, which added to the overall experience. The food was pretty good overall, but the corn was undercooked...a basic, avoidable mistake. At that price point, especially given the smaller portion sizes, I expect the execution to be spot-on. It's a good thing we used a Groupon, because the quality and portion size relative to the price felt a bit unreasonable. The deal included a bottle of wine listed at $90, far above its actual value ($15 to be exact) and unfortunately, that inflated price is what we ended up tipping on. read more

Everything was delicious. The seafood tasted fresh, and the espresso was excellent quality. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself was clean and comfortable, which made the experience even better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress was fantastic. Attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The only small downside was that the side salad was a bit unusual, and there weren't many options for sides. That said, the food overall was very enjoyable and the prices were reasonable. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area. read more

I was in town with my colleague for a meeting in Brooklyn. Realized we were staying in Queens/flushing so I reached out to my friend to see if she was free for dinner and Great Neck was close to us, so we met her for dinner here. We started with some drinks I got a lychee martini and Lefty was our server. Good dude, he basically had everything we needed whenever we were running low on anything. I loved the blue point oysters, they had horseradish and cocktail sauce with some Tabasco, fresh and briny so good! We had the grilled octopus and the popcorn shrimp for apps. The shrimp were definitely larger than popcorn size lol. Sauce was amazing to dip in too! The octopus was so good, tender and charred with pickled onions to balance the flavors together. My entree was the lobster pasta. It wasn't super rich, but filling and plenty of lobster and noodles. My friend had the whole branzino with roasted beets, and my colleague had the jumbo shrimp grilled with fries. Everyone loved the meal. Service was excellent and the food as well. I wish I was here more often I'd eat an entire meal of the oysters. One minor ding, they weren't cut cleanly from the shell but it's a small thing and I'm not adverse to working for my meal! Support small businesses! read more

We were in the mood for lobster bisque. We came across the sea bar in Great Neck. The lobster bisque was really tasty with a nice amount of Lobster. I had a mai tai which was very good. The hisbicus margarira was very good as well. The service was on point and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambience was chill.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely be back very local for me. read more

Small restaurant- reservations definitely recommended. My son & I love seafood and I think we found our spot. We've tried the seafood plateau, tuna tartare, branzino, snapper, lobster pasta, mussels, hummus dip, roasted beets, fingerling potatoes and the baklava dessert. Everything was very delicious- loved the oysters & flavorful mussels in broth, the fishes were well-seasoned, tho the pasta and potatoes could use a little more seasoning. Also, extremely slow kitchen service when it comes to the entrées due to insufficient grills but at least our waitress, Vanessa was sweet, apologetic & honest about it. Overall, worth trying out if you're in the area & looking for good, fresh seafood. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was very nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got the grilled octopus and the special. It was whole black bass with grilled mixed vegetables as the side. The fish was very good as was the octopus. seasoned and cooked well. The side of mixed vegetables was pretty small. Just 1 thin piece of 5 different vegetables. The staff was very attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were the only people there so that could've been why.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was a happy hour but they don't tell us till we finished our meal and I heard someone say something about it. They showed us the happy hour menu after we finished eating. That defeated the purpose of showing us the menu. Then they said we wasn't sitting at the bar that's why they don't show it to us. They should've told us about it as they gave us the menu. I was bummed about that. read more

Great restaurant, great service, and great food. I recommend this restaurant. The parking can be tricky. That's the only down point.

Service was awesome the person who helped me was so sweet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Downside to this night there was a weird smell inside this place and I think it was the cleaning products mixed with the smell of food so I decided not to sit down and just order take out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The way this place is presented online you would think there was going to be something that I had to come back here for but I was disappointed nothing special just ok.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking is good because it's located across from a shopping center. read more

I just can't understand why tris restaurant has so many good reviews. The food is inconsistent. The waiter apologized for the food served. . I traveled 90 minutes to get here and was completely disappointed in food that was not fresh and poorly prepared. The locals explained that they only order things that they know they do well and not certain items. I have not been back and have no intentions of returning. read more

Okay, this place is a gem, This is my second time coming here and everything is well prepared, fresh and delicious. They start your meal off with fresh grilled pita/bread and a yummy hummus. To start I had the chargrilled octopus, very good. For entree- Last time I got the full bronzino, so good. This time I got the lobster roll with fries (I asked to sub for truffle fries and there was no upcharge!) They also have a very good steamed broccoli as a side with some sundried tomato's. I ended with the Fig parfait which was light and not too sweet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place isn't big, so I do recommend a reservation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will be back! read more

The food here was pretty good, it's a cute little spot with a full bar and few tables. Parking is a little hard but definitely Worth going. Our waitress was super nice and attentive. The hummus and pita starter was soooo good. One of the best hummus I've had, couldn't stop eating it. The pita was perfectly hot and crispy! Truffle fries were delicious crispy and fresh. Just the right amount of truffle and salt. Wasn't a big fan of the calamari, texture wise, was not a fan. Little bit chewy and the breading was not crispy at all. The octopus was tender but the sauce was a little too sour. We also got an entree each. Delicious all in all and would certainly come back. They also have a great happy hour menu. read more

I got a Groupon gift for my birthday. It was a prefix meal deal consisting 2 appetizers, 2 entrees and a bottle of wine. Never used Groupon for a restaurant before, so we were a bit skeptical at first. First thing as soon as we arrived, we were greeted by Kristi. She is very attentive, warm, and friendly. She explained to us the menu and how Groupon deal works. She recommended great choices.

We came here for Father's Day, Vanessa was our server and she was amazing. The food was wonderful, Everything that we got. My favorite was definitely the fried shrimp with green sauce. Having said that everything in my photos was great. The ambience was OK, in that it was very loud. There was also a family with a baby crying, which irritated my kids. I would recommend doing something to improve the acoustics, especially for customers who are sound sensitive. read more

Modern ambiance, and a great selection of cognac but the food and service left something to be desired. My fish was overcooked but no one checked on us until my date had already eaten half his meal. At that point I really didn't want to order again, and try my luck with it being prepared correctly, so I skipped it. The oysters and clams on the half shell we started with were well shucked and very good. The millefeuille dessert was okay but not actually a flaky pastry like I expected it to be. The best part of the meal was the cognac I had after dinner, which cost more than the branzino whole fish entree. read more

Boy am I surprised. Expected what was shown by others and also from the business pictures of their lobster rolls. But it seems like they're falling on hard times. Barely any lobster meat and also meat used are leftover shredded bits. Taste wise they're fine, nothing amazing or bad about them. Fries were decently crispy and seasoned. But not worth the price for the meager amount of lobster provided. read more

Even though we just had dinner somewhere else, we came here based on our friend's recommendation. Loved the place immediately before I even walked through the front door. I love how the sign looked above the clear glass windows where you can see the entire restaurant from the street. I love the little raw bar area where you can see all the fresh seafood on display. The four of us sat down and started going over their menu. Start I had one of the Margarita cocktails and it was light and refreshing. Since we have just had dinner, we decided to go with a few appetizers to get a little taste. The truffle fries were my favorite. They were light and crispy with a nice dipping g sauce on the side. I also like their calamari. The breading has good flavors and the calamari was soft and juicy. We can't leave without ordering a dessert. Not sure exactly what we ordered but it looked good and tasted delicious. Overall our experience was great. We need to come back for a full formal dinner! read more

3.5 stars overall. I rounded up for great service. This is a fairly new restaurant in Great Neck which opened during the Pandemic. Just minutes from the LIRR and across a busy shopping plaza. Street parking only. Every main entree on the dinner menu was practically seafood and/or Greek by design. Three meat proteins are offered so do browse the menu before going, especially if you're not feeling seafood. They offer salads, desserts, plenty of cocktails and small appetizers. The bartender does a good pour as I enjoyed my drink of choice, Negroni. Made right with one giant ice cube. The waitress was pleasant and checked in on us a few times. She took our order without writing it down. And she got it all correct! The menu has a variety of options - raw bar, hot food and sides. Onto the food: - beet salad with a creamy garlic topping was really good but I wished for more garlic flavor. I just love garlic. - grilled octopus - great char and good plating. Just a tad too well done for my taste but flavors were good. Especially the red onions paired with. - Tuna tar tar was the stand out appetizer topped with avocado - the Chilean Sea Bass had a refreshing lemon/citrus finish. The grilled vegetables that came with the entree were excellent. - Greek fries served in a mini pan. Sinfully delicious. Tables were nicely spaced and the restaurant decor was very comfortable. This was a Thursday night prime dinner hour and it was not crowded. A little tweaks needed on the food and it'll be a much more solid spot. read more

Will return. Simple and pleasant deco. Single bathroom with changing table. Feels female touches. Female serving staff. The few staff in the kitchen seems women too. Reportedly, it owns by the same person who has the Greek Xpress at 37 Great Neck Road. About ten tables and a bar. While having our dinner, there are take outs. Good stem - Grilled Sardine - excellent, just too big portion - Grilled octopus - so so - Sea bream on the bone - great Street parking, which is easy. Oh, love their pepper mill - will get one myself. read more

I had a lovely weekday lunch here. The lunch specials were a pleasant surprise as well as the robust cocktail menu. I enjoyed my branzino special ($17.50). The side spinach was good but a little salty. The fish tacos were surprisingly large, though I'd do a little less on the sauce. We also went for the 1/2 dozen little neck clams, which had a nice presentation. The space is very casual, and I like the large windows that bring in some nice light. Our waitress was really nice and cheerful. Music was a little all over the place but made for some amusing conversations. read more

Came in today and it was a packed house. It's not usually his crazy when we come in here which gives me time to write a review while I wait or eat. They gave us an estimate of 15 minutes and we sat down in about 20. Because it was so packed service seemed slow. There was a table of two who came in after us but they seemed to have gotten their food faster and have already left. Maybe they ordered something that doesn't need the grill. The waiter apologized for the long wait because their grill was so backed up for being so packed. They updated the menu. We ordered as soon as we sat down since I perused the menu while we waited. We're about 20 minutes into our wait after we ordered, so I told them to bring out whatever is ready. We've received the flash fried calamari first and it's super tasty. The shrimp pasta and the fish tacos came out 5 minutes after and the shrimp pasta has a super generous serving of shrimp! Then our fishes came and they were grilled to perfection. We had the branzino to be safe & and new fish called the Fargri. The fargri did not disappoint. It's actually super similar to the branzino. We ordered fries and green beans for the kids and we gobbled it up. Eventually the complimentary hummus and bread came. Hummus here tastes way better than store bought. The meal was great! We ate super fast, a little bit more savage than usual. The waiter even came to apologize for the wait today which would've been my only complaint. I still think fish tacos is my ultimate go to here. That was my favorite part of the meal. We're finishing up full and happy even though it's 9:30 PM on a week night past the kids bedtime when I'm asking for the check. til next time sea bar! Oh btw after our 4th time here, I learned that they are on Groupon! So today we got $30 off our meal and that was one entree so it was extra worth it.. and I will definitely purchase it again. read more
