We stayed at the hotel for the holiday and visited the Sea Root restaurant twice, once for dinner and again for breakfast the next day. Dinner experience: For dinner we tried the shrimp scampi which is a solid choice. The sauce was flavorful and the shrimp was just right. We also had the NY steak and the Arrabiata Bucatini with chicken. Unfortunately, they forgot the chicken and had to bring it in a separate plate. The steak was cooked nicely and it came with crispy and crunchy potatoes which were delicious, however, the chimichurri sauce was extremely salty and unpalatable. The dinner service was very good and our server was excellent and professional. Breakfast experience: The next morning, we tried their breakfast. We had the eggs Benedict and the pancake dish. The pancakes were delicious and came out fluffy and really hit the spot. Unfortunately, the eggs Benedict hollandaise sauce was extremely salty. It tasted as though they had doubled up on the salt by mistake. I couldn't even finish it. It seems to be a theme that their sauces seem to be very salty. They also had a buffet, but it was pretty simple with the usual eggs, bacon, sausage, and a few other continental items. The staff is very friendly, however, we found ourselves waiting for service quite a bit with large gaps between visits from our server for breakfast. Overall, it's a nice restaurant if you're at the hotel. Dinner was a four-star experience and breakfast was three stars. read more

My wife and I are in town for a seminar and came here for dinner. Our server was Robert and what an amazing experience he provided. We were so happy with this restaurant, the food, and the level of service given to us by Robert. A must try for sure! read more

Was in town for the Pebble Beach Golf Tournament and staying at the Hyatt. Decided to grab a bite at the bar of Sea Root for convenience. Although a small menu (same as dining room) there were some gems. Enjoyed the fig toast to start. Generous portion for an appetizer and couldn't finish it all. Nice pairing of prosciutto and fig and balsamic and olive oil. After that moved to the tomato soup. This was my favorite. A flavor bomb of simple, real ingredients-they let the tomato shine and didn't mask the flavor with Parmesan or other fillers. The toast it came with was quite large...but broken up made excellent croutons to enjoy with the soup. Best of all the soup was hot. Piping hot. I don't enjoy lukewarm soup so this made me happy. Andrew, the bartender was super attentive to each patron (and it was busy) and checked on me throughout the meal to ensure all was well. I was deciding between two different meal options and asked for his recommendation and he steered me in the right direction. Come for dinner or a snack at the bar the next time you are at the Hyatt! read more

oof, i was so excited about trying sea root, and sadly i left a tad disappointed. we started with the herb focaccia, which was absolutely divine. the bread was so pillowy soft in the middle with a slight crunch on the outside. that with the whipped feta butter is what foodie dreams are made of! the tapas trio was decent too -- the roasted eggplant and pomegranate was wonderful and the manchego cheese was delicious. when i ordered the salmon, i was hoping to get a little rice or something instead of the beans. it was like bbq beans with salmon, which is a very unusual combination. they weren't able to accommodate and substitutes or additions so i figured i'd give it a try. the salmon was a tad plain, where the beans complimented the flavor with the chard. i still was left feeling a little disappointed as the fish was under seasoned and the beans just really didn't do it for me. however, it was a decent sized piece of salmon so i wasn't left hungry! the overall ambiance of the restaurant is contemporary and so cute. we enjoyed live music from the bar area, which was such a nice addition. i understand that the F&B industry has taken a huge hit since covid, so i rounded up to four stars, but if i were to come back, it would likely be for a beverage and apps. read more

Service was friendly and the food was amazing! It's a restaurant connected to a hotel next to a golf course. They have a lively bar next to the restaurant but the noise doesn't carry over to the restaurant if you're looking for a quiet intimate setting. Very nice choice to celebrate a special occasion. read more

Very rude hostess named Sheralin seated myself and my guest at a broken table. The nice waiter allowed us to move and then she came over and scolded us. Not the best experience fist thing in the morning. Hyatt management, please train your staff or hire people with better, competent, and courageous communication skills. read more

The food was good. Met friends for cocktails in the lounge area and that was really nice. However, too loud in the dining area. Would go back for cocktails, but not dinner. read more

My husband and I dined at Sea Root for breakfast twice this past weekend while we stayed at the resort. The presentation of our food plates was beautiful. The restaurant had a good amount of healthy breakfast choices for those who like to eat on the healthier side. The food was amazing! The service was great and the overall appearance of the restaurant was clean and inviting. Great place to take the family or your significant other. Thank you for making us feel at home! read more

Thank you so much for making our 37th anniversary so much fun. The service and food were delicious. Our first night we had Cristian who was AMAZING! The manager Will was also so nice and helpful suggesting places we should go. The second night we had I hope I have her name correct was Cynthia and she made a great recommendation for my meal the mussels with wine and it was wonderful. By the time we left we felt like old friends. The hotel is beautiful and we met so many nice folks sitting out on the patio. I highly recommend the restaurant and the hotel. Hope to come back soon. Thanks again for a wonderful time. Lois and Nathan of San Rafael, CA read more

Stayed at hotel. Got food to go. Branzino fish and chips was great !!! Service was very friendly!

I've been to a lot of restaurants, and the most important thing to the experience is often just a friendly greeting and good customer service. Sea Root excels in this area, there was one waiter who was Filipino who was the most friendly person I have interacted with at a restaurant. He went above and beyond to help my elderly father and my 5 year old son both. Another waiter performed a magic trick for my sons. These guys were amazing and I think a testament to great management and positive reflection of Hyatt experiences. Thank you! read more

My husband and I ate dinner at Sea Root on 10/09/2022. The name of the restaurant had changed since the last time we were there, but the menu was still weird. It suffered from the too many exotic (or just extra) ingredients syndrome. I had a Caesar salad, which was good and pretty classic. My husband had a steak, which he said was well prepared but a little dry. I also had a shrimp scampi appetizer--which turned out to be 5 shrimp lying on a piece of toasted bread. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and seasoned. I was unable to find an entree that appealed to me--and I am a minor league foodie. Finally, the service was indifferent and once we got our food, our waiter never returned to check on us. Meh. read more

We went for dinner & our server was James Montgomery. He was simply perfect. Attentive, asking questions, supplying answers, promptly meet our needs and all with a beautiful, friendly smile. The food was great but it was the service of James that will ensure we return. read more

Pizza was surprisingly sad. Like cafeteria food. Salad was something you'd get from a fast food place- really underperformed. Chopped salad was not even chopped. Dressing was so tasteless; not sure how dressing can be this bad. read more

My wife and I came here for New Year's. I have to give a shoutout to Christian. He is the best host, hands down! He explained the menu items with clarity and detail. He was also very accommodating of our dietary restrictions. I would honestly recommend this place to others. read more

Had dinner there this evening... I had the trio of tapas and my date had the wedge salad with shrimp. My dinner was amazing! I typically eat fast but tonight ate slow so that I could enjoy every bite!!! Kudos to the chef!!!! My only regret is that I did not get the name of our server... young man was exceptional!!!!! Thank you for everything!!! read more

We came for a lunch time breakfast. My wife and daughter shared an omelette and waffle, and I had the eggs Benedict & apple chicken sausage. Also had some coffee & sparkling water. Over all solid food, very nice outdoor seating with umbrellas. Staff were attentive. Service was prompt. Huge props for being dog friendly for outdoor seating! My doggy children even had some bites of my apple chicken sausage and they totally approved as well! read more

Awesome food and friendly staff. Perfect option to dine in when don't want to step out and hunt for parking.

Food was absolutely delicious! And staff and chef were so delightful. I would definitely return!

Tasted like cabbage, fake 5 star reviews, respek mai review buil, would rather eat el pollo loco js

Hmmm it all sounds delicious but I'm sad to say it was a disappointment. The halloumi & watermelon dish only had two little pieces of watermelon and with that much salty cheese - it needed way more. The carrot soup was just bizarre. Almost greasy. No substance - almost sweet. Oh I really didn't like it. Great service, though, and a beautiful setting. read more

Despite a somewhat limited menu, my favorite part of this experience was our server Cyndee. She unsold like a used car salesperson, but did so with such tact that I couldn't help but write a glowing review. She's such a joy. read more

I was pleasantly surprised! I was expecting hotel food and hotel bar food. The ciabatta on the burger was wonderfully soft (weird in an unexpected way, but it worked much better than crusty). Burger was nice and juicy, but I would ask for extra aioli to bump up the flavor. I generally dislike steak fries as they tend to be bland and soggy. These were great! Crispy and nicely salted. It was great with the aioli, but it wasn't needed. Good service and company at the bar. There aren't many places that are walkable at the Hyatt Regency. This is not bad! read more

I would add five more stars for this great restaurant. We stayed at the Hyatt last year for our anniversary and had such a great experience we decided to go back again this year. Turns out we had the same waiter Christian from last year and sat at the same table. Such great service and by the end of our stay we felt like the hotel family. Christian was AMAZING and Kevin the chef was just a delight. His tomato soup was off the charts and the fig toast was to die for. It was so good we did a repeat the next night and I just had the soup and Nathan got the toast again. The bartenders were all so good and friendly. Oh I forgot the strawberry sorbet was very so tasty. We went out the third night to another restaurant but did not have dessert so we could come back to get the sorbet. To all the great crew THANK YOU for making 38 a great experience. See you next year!!! Lois and Nathan read more

This restaurant has really improved its game. Better menu selection, service has picked up. The grilled salmon was superb and the chef has included a burger on the menu. Good job, Chef! read more

Had breakfast here twice and exceptional customer service both times. Avocado toast wasn't memorable but their steak & eggs hit the spot this morning. $28 for 6-8 oz of steak was a good portion that came with 2 eggs, potato wedges & grilled jalapeño. Coffee drinks were decent. Will stick with steak & eggs next time I visit read more

Food is good although a tad pricey. The kids meals were a hit for the younger kids and very reasonably priced

After a tough day of work, swung by for a nice wind down and I have found my new go-to. This. Bar is very clean, very nice selection of cervezas. And btw, the hunt for a perfect old fashion is over-- it has to be with their Blanton bourbon and it MUST be made by Chris. He is a great host and exceptional bartender.
