    Food, service, atmosphere, vibes, everything 10/10!! The brunch buffet was the die for i'm still dreaming about it. I mean everything was so fresh and tasty! Our server was so kind and attentive!!

    I highly recommend Sea Grill if interested in a fine dining experience. I have visited at least 3x. Food and service have been consistently excellent. So far, my favorite dish is Pasta Alla Ruota and Queen of Everything is my favorite cocktail. They are also very helpful in assisting planning for private reservation/event. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is sophisticated and has generally been peaceful on the occasions that I have gone.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I definitely have every intention on returning repeatedly to try as much on the menu as I can!

    Shrimp and grits with blue crab
    Crystal S.

    Sea Grill has been on my list of restaurants to visit since it opened and when my brunch group said this month's brunch would be here I said "of course I'm going". From the entry to when I left, the experience and service was spectacular. I had the lychee martini which was so smooth and beautiful. For my meal I had the best shrimp and grits with blue crab that I've ever had in life. Nicely seasoned, creamy grits and the sauce was delicious. I also had oysters rockerfeller and they were not gritty or fishy at all. Just the right amount of seasoning and cheeses. The highlight - our hostess Dina. She was attentive without hovering, explained everything on the menu and took her time helping us sort out the bill. If I come back I certainly would like to be at her table. This is an experience that's worth the money. I will surely be back!

    The girls and I went to the brunch buffet here, and seafood lovers one is for YOU! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really impressive display plus the overall decor is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very attentive and patient (lol) service. Fresh, high quality, and lots of variety. Crab legs, blue crab, saffron salmon, seafood fried rice, salmon and shrimp pasta, ceviche, oysters, crab croquettes, lamb chops, shrimp and grits, tiger shrimp tempura plus more traditional fare like waffles, bacon, and roasted potatoes, and so much more. Even if you don't eat some of those items (like myself) you will NOT leave hungry unless you do it wrong. TIP: There's a 2-hour time limit, so be efficient!

    I am not easily impressed with anything these days, but Sea Grill exceeded my expectations!! Wow, amazing dinner and great drinks. I came here for Christmas dinner for something different. I had the best Branzino of my life! It was amazing, seasoned to perfection and served as if I was the Queen of Whales LOL. Lemon drop was nice while my daughter had the Strawberry fizz mocktail, which was very bitter -not my thing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside is stunning!! Great for groups, dates, solo dates, just come.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar was also very chill with the dim lights and smooth music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think I called all my contacts to brag about this dinner. I'll be back Jan 11th with my brunch group. It was that good. 1000/10

    "Impressed" is an understatement!! --Sea Grill truly does fine dining right. I had the pleasure of dining here for Sunday brunch over a week ago, and I'm still thinking about how incredible the experience was. Let's start with the ambiance. The setting is formal, complete with tablecloths, cloth napkins with rings, and proper place settings. Yet, it does give stuffy or pretentious, as some fine dining restaurants can. The space was transformed into a festive holiday atmoshper that made the experience even better ! The service was top-tier. My water glass was never empty, my napkin was continuously refolded, and crumbs were promptly cleared from the table. The attention to detail was impeccable--truly Michelin-star-worthy service. And then there's the food--wow. The brunch buffet offered a variety that left me in awe. Options ranged from sushi to crab legs, shrimp and grits, bacon, blue crabs, and crawfish--a seafood lover's dream. There was also a salad and dessert section. In addition, a separate à la carte menu is included in the price, featuring items such as waffles, lamb, soups, and crab croquettes, just to name a few. Without a doubt, Sea Grill has become my new favorite restaurant in the city. I cannot wait to return. A few helpful notes: Parking is available in the Queen City Quarter garage (formerly Epicentre); the restaurant does not validate parking. Weekend brunch has a 2.5-hour table limit. A 20% gratuity is automatically added to all checks The current cost of the brunch buffet is $85. Highly recommended!

    Very nice brunch worth the price the staff was attentive and the food stocked. If anything they could charge more for the price. I will say they could have more dessert options.

    Seafood Mashed Potatoes
    Todd G.

    From the moment I stepped into Sea Grill, I knew this was going to be a different kind of evening -- in the best possible way. The attention to detail was immediate and undeniable. The place settings, the décor, the layout, even the lighting -- everything felt intentional, elevated, and designed to impress without being pretentious. And the staff? You could instantly tell you were in the hands of true professionals. From seating to our final goodbye, the service was impeccable. Every interaction felt thoughtful and polished. The team was sharply dressed, warm, and perfectly balanced attentiveness with making sure we could enjoy our evening without interruption. Simply put: the service was flawless. Now, I'll be honest -- the menu is a bit overwhelming at first glance. Not in a bad way, but in a "wow, I want to order everything" way. I decided to kick things off with a cocktail, going with the Smoked Old-Fashioned. And let me tell you... phenomenal. The presentation alone made it worth ordering, but the flavor profile took it to another level -- easily one of the best Old-Fashioneds I've ever had. For appetizers, we chose the Salmon Sensation Sashimi, which looked like a literal work of art. Beautifully plated with color, texture, and precision, it almost felt wrong to touch it. But once I did? Game over. The flavors were mind-blowing -- fresh sashimi with a subtle kick and a savory avocado undertone woven perfectly into the sauce. Absolutely unforgettable. For my main dish, I went with the Chilean Seabass, and I'm not exaggerating when I say this was a level 10, out-of-this-world experience. Perfectly prepared, perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked. Hands-down the best Chilean Seabass I've ever had. Truly exceptional. We also enjoyed their Seafood Mashed Potatoes, a unique and delicious side loaded with lobster, crab, and shrimp. Creamy, flavorful, and something everyone should try at least once -- it's that good. Even though I was completely full by the end, I couldn't resist the Tiramisu, especially after hearing about its unique presentation. Worth it. Not only was it excellent -- I actually took one back to my hotel room to enjoy later. Zero regrets. Overall, this was an absolutely incredible dining experience from start to finish. The food, the service, the atmosphere -- everything was executed at the highest level. I'll 100% be back on my next trip to Charlotte, and I'm giving this visit a perfect score. Truly a memorable evening and an amazing night out with a friend.

    I will forever rave about this place! I came for the weekend brunch and the quality of food you get for what you pay is phenomenal! Everything was fresh and the service was amazing. The dining room is very upscale with plenty photo opportunities. You have the option to order freshly made items like lamb chops in addition to the buffet. I would drive an hour and half any day for this experience!

    Spent my Birthday Brunch here, the food was amazing. My server seemed like she wasn't having the best day, but thankfully that didn't ruin the experience for us!

    Lobster roll and side salad
    Sabrina P.

    We loved our experience at Sea Grill. The service was impeccable. We had been to Sea grill for brunch which was also good but we were eager to try it for dinner. We shared the pasta Alla Ruota - homemade pasta in a creamy sauce and it's served with truffle. It was prepared table side. My friend and I both enjoyed or meal and the optics from the prep. The ambiance at dinner time was great and we both loved the decor.

    Chicken & waffles
    Lisa F.

    Nothing but great things to say about Sea Grill! The interior has been fully renovated tastefully & with great detail from the comfortable suede chairs to the meticulously polished silverware. We dined during a Friday afternoon and ordered from the brunch menu. First, the cocktails: chocolate old fashion & a crisp & refreshing Pinot Gris from the extensive beverage menu. For starters we had the seafood tower with lobster tails, shrimp cocktail, mussels, & oysters on the half shell. We quickly devoured everything on the platter as it was fresh & succulent. Then came the entrees: I went with the lobster roll which was served with fries & a tossed salad. It was served warm & literally melted in my mouth. My date had the chicken waffles and let me tell you, this is not your typical rendition of the dish. The wings were fried to perfection & were doused in a sweet chili sauce. The waffles were just the right texture. The service was top notch with very knowledgeable staff. The restrooms were extremely clean as well. So happy we got to experience this place and we can't wait to dine here again.

    Halibut
    Derek M.

    WOW! Unreal! Most places scale back or mail in restaurant week. Not Sea Grill First note, they do have a dress code. Make sure to be properly dressed. The food was insane! Taco Roll and Samurai Roll were both incredible. The Halibut was easily the best piece of fish I've had in Charlotte. It was so good I went back the next night to see if they could repeat it and they did! The chocolate cherry trifle was an amazing dessert. The interior is simply stunning! Everything is beautiful and well done! Service is top notch and it's easy to see why they are so popular. Highly recommend! Easy walk from CTC/Arena light rail stop.

    My third time visiting Fin & Fino and every time has been a perfect experience. My wife and some…read morefriends went on a Sunday night right at 5pm. We had reservations but it wasn't overly busy so I don't think they were necessary for that day and time but I would definitely recommend on busier times. I love the fact that this is more of a tapas style restaurant so you can order and taste a ton of options. Plates are generally around $14-22 per plate and they have enough for three or four (tapas style). We started with crab dip and oysters on the half shell (raw). The crab dip was rich and creamy and served with buttered crusty, buttered bread. The oysters were amazing too but a little nuance about these: they are listed by region (e.g. West Coast, Mid-Atlantic, etc.) and not listed as they type of oyster. Oysters vary greatly within a single region so I would encourage you to ask what specific oysters they serve for each region (they will look it up and tell you) to make sure you know what you are getting. We also ordered the calamari, small salad (unlisted option for the salad listed on the menu) and poke bowl to share. We went in hungry and probably ordered too much because this was all to start off. Everything was really good and worth ordering. For my "entree" or ordered the trout which comes with lentils and broccolini. This dish was fantastic and highly recommended. The trout was perfectly cooked and delicious. Our waitress, Tiffany, was amazing and did a great job. Additionally, this is the perfect spot for a "dinner and a show" since it is right beside the Knight theater. Parking is easily accessible at the Green Garage right across the street.

This restaurant is very nicely designed. It's visually appealing with tables indoors, a bar area, and an outside dining area. The hostess and my server were professional and extremely nice and made my dining experience very pleasant. The reason I am giving three stars instead of four or more comes down to value. Seafood is expensive, I get that. But I don't know that there's much value to be had here. Portion sizes are small relative to what you're paying for. And in my opinion, while the freshness and the quality of the seafood may be there, the flavor is not. I have no doubt that the quality of the seafood here is good. But I did not enjoy anything I ordered. I wasn't put off by the food, but I wish I had wanted to savor each bit. I ordered the cajun grilled oysters and the miso sablefish. I thought both were too salty and despite paying over $40 for the meal, I left still a bit hungry.

The space itself is a showstopper--marble tabletops, a statement bar backsplash, and ambient lighting leave no detail overlooked. An absolute stunner, and a shining gem in Charlotte's dining scene. The team here is exceptionally thoughtful: guests receive a text not only confirming their reservation, but also providing clear directions for the three hours of complimentary parking in the adjacent Duke Energy Plaza lot. Both the food and dessert menus are winners. I ordered the stuffed dates, cordero asado, and knafeh cheesecake--all well prepared. While the dates could have been prepared more juicy and softer, the peanut muhammara was pure genius and a delightful enhancement. The cordero would be even more perfect if paired with a side of bread or pita to soak up the savory jus. The cheesecake proved a scrumptious finale--definitely enjoy it with a latte or cappuccino.

As guests at the hotel--and with a snowstorm swirling outside--we especially appreciated having a restaurant of this caliber right downstairs. This is not a typical hotel coffee-shop setup. Mico delivers a true high-end dining experience that easily stands on its own. I had read that the menu carries an Argentinean influence, though that wasn't immediately obvious on my first pass. The offerings lean heavily into seafood while also featuring several prime beef options, giving the menu a nice range. Because it was the final weekend of Charlotte's Restaurant Week, my wife ordered the hanger steak, paired with lobster bisque and the North Carolina apple bread pudding. The steak had excellent flavor, a perfect char, and was cooked exactly as requested. The bisque was especially welcome on a cold night, though it was a bit heavier on salt than I prefer. The bread pudding, however, was a standout--so much so that we ordered a second. I went with the Pampas seared ahi tuna. The presentation was beautiful, and the sear was spot-on. The South American Parmesan fries were served hot and crisp, making them an easy favorite. Mico is the kind of restaurant that works equally well for locals seeking a polished night out and travelers who want a memorable meal without leaving their hotel.

My husband and daughter both enjoyed their steaks and had no complaints about their meals. Unfortunately, my experience was quite different. I ordered the scallops. After taking a few bites of the first one, I noticed something tasted off but initially thought it might just be me. I cut into a second scallop and while the first taste seemed normal, the more I chewed it, the stronger a chemical-like flavor became. The only way I could describe it was that it tasted like cleaning products. When I mentioned it to our waitress, she immediately asked if it tasted like ammonia. I said yes, exactly. She told me that sometimes this happens but assured me it wasn't because the scallops were bad. She offered to replace my meal and suggested lamb, which I don't eat, so i choose the chicken dish she suggested instead. By the time the replacement arrived, my husband and daughter were nearly finished with their meals, and honestly, I had lost my appetite. The chicken was somewhat dry, although the potatoes were very good. I only ate a couple of bites. What disappointed me most was the lack of management involvement. At no point did a manager visit our table to discuss the issue, apologize, or check on the situation. After the replacement meal, we were simply presented with the bill. We weren't asked if we would like to look at the desert menu and I was charged for the chicken replacement that I took two bites from. After getting home, I researched scallops with an ammonia taste and found that it can indicate handling or freshness issues. Thankfully, I haven't become seriously ill, though I did experience an upset stomach for the entire evening afterward. I'm glad my husband and daughter enjoyed their meals and I had been looking forward to trying this restaurant for quite some time. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I won't be returning.
