    Crème brûlée
    Jessica C.

    Once again the food was absolutely delicious. This is easily my favorite spot when I'm in the area. Between the tasty food, awesome service and beautiful views, you cannot go wrong. The dressing on the wedge salad was really good. For my main, I did the seafood bouillabaisse and it was spot on. I have never had a bad meal here!

    Food was okay but overpriced. The view of the ocean was nice but the area around the restaurant was a bit rundown. The website made it seem like it was an upscale restaurant but it had chain restaurant vibes. So many better options in nearby Newburyport!

    Haddock fish tacos

    Scrumptious dinner! Shrimp cocktail, lobster roll and fires, haddock ride fish tacos and a Tito's martini plus blood orange cosmo. The olive and white bread and butter also hit the spot. So delicious with a beautiful view!

    I ordered the steak and fries with chimichurri and the steak was good but there was no chimichurri to be seen. If you want steak and slightly sautéed onions on top of fries this is the dish for you. Definitely disappointed. My first drink the glass had someone else's lipstick on it, the waitress was apologetic and replaced it quickly with a new martini. We had a large group and the waitress was awesome! Unfortunately the food has gone downhill especially for the price.

    Crème brûlée and espresso martini
    Emily B.

    I came here for my anniversary dinner and it was amazing. We were sat next to the windows and watched the sunset with a bottle of wine. It was beautiful. Heather was our server and was lovely. She had very kind eyes. We started the night with the crab cake and bang bang shrimp. The crab cake was outrageous and the bang bang shrimp was veryyyy spicy. For entrees, we split the haddock and the scallops - instead of the potatoes both dishes come with, we subbed with mashed and lemon risotto. It was a perfect combination. We ended the night with espresso martinis and crème brûlée, both perfection. Will definitely be back again!

    Best cocktails, Ube ??

    Food is delish, and Service is Top notch! The Cocktails, Yummy! Above all ... is the very Best view of the ocean, with a window seat, feels like Im on a cruise ship!

    Seafood casserole looks a lot better than it was. It was gross And Lobster risotto with sea scallops

    Beautiful ocean views, friendly service. But when it came to the food, what an absolute disappointment. I got the baked seafood casserole and it was full of disgusting tiny bay scallops and for $40. I want real scallops not bay scallops. It was so gross. I couldn't even eat it.

    Poached eggs Benedict with a side of homefries. A favorite with a mimosa
    Jennifer G.

    Food is to die for.....service is impeccable and the ambiance of the Seaglass Restaurant is so inviting with friendly faces in professional attire while watching the ocean waves splash against the windows. Honestly quite an experience! *Highly recommend this place. You won't regret it! My favorite is the poached eggs benedict for brunch.

    Hi. Is the Seaglass a good place to take active 7 year old twins for lunch?

    Not the most ideal. Many people consider the Seaglass a treat and, as such, may find energetic children to detract from their experience.

Entering I was greeted by the friendly owner who was also tending the bar. From what I saw upon entering the bar is very clean and neat. It may be because now is considered off-season, it was busy but low key & people who were there were obviously enjoying it. I decided on a table & within minutes my friends showed up. The bar does not serve food. So I stopped and got 2 pizzas for us all to share. We ordered drinks & walked up to the bar to pay. We were prepared knowing beforehand that they only take cash...so no issues with that. I did not order an alcoholic beverage... Others did & liked them very much. It seems like they are priced . moderately. My drink was a diet coke in a tall glass.. just right. So it became time to play and the nice DJ came over to explain the game and pass out cards and markers. One of my group won the first round! They brought her over a bag loaded with swag .. I don't know about you, but winning is exciting & gives an adrenaline pump - usually no matter what the prize is. So on came the 2nd round & a winner from the other side of the venue. The next and last round ended up being a coverall! We thought .. no one will win this one. She played 50 song bits & no one was winning. So she cheered us on and asked if we wanted 5 more. Otherwise without a winner the pot grows. So we said yes! And low & behold... I ended up winning! I won __ in cash!!! It was decided between us that we will definitely return : - )

They do have a host sitting parties down, but there are also standing areas, self-seating tables, and seats by the bar. The menu includes a good variety of food items, but ultimately the Baja smashburger caught my attention. We placed our order at the counter by the bar, then waited for the food to come to our table. After about 15 minutes, the food arrived. The burger was about $20 and came with the burger and chips. We were unsure if chips meany fries or actual potato chips and unfortunately, it was the latter. The smashburger was good. The patties (2) were smashed a bit, but it didn't have much of the signature crispy, caramelized crust. It came with white cheese melted onto the patties, shredded lettuce, tortilla chips, and Baja mac sauce. I wish the brioche buns were toasted and smashed with the patties on the grill but thankfully the bread was soft and tasted fresh. There was a good amount of mac sauce, to help glue everything together. To my surprise, the tortilla chips were my favorite part. They added texture and slightly more salt. I had a bite of my friends fried white fish tacos but they were a little too fishy for me. I would recommend this place for the vibes and especially for large groups looking for a place to eat and have a good time. They don't accept reservations, but it seems like people are coming in and out constantly, so tables are usually available. They do have a moderate-sized parking lot (free of charge) in the back and when we were they, they had someone ushering cars to empty spots.

We arrived just after our friends who advised they had already ordered their drinks. Our waitress arrived promptly and took our drink order and then vanished. No drinks for quite some time. A manager came over to ask if anybody had visited us, apologized for the delay, and returned with our drinks. I'm estimating it was a bit over 30 minutes or so before drinks arrived. Our waitress did return, apologized and took our food order. I wasn't so sure about ordering sushi, but glad we did. The maki we tried were very good, fresh and beautifully presented. A great start. We switched gears for our entree and went with a parpadelle bolognese. A nice generous portion that was as good as some of the Italian spots in the area. Our friends also enjoyed their dishes. Portions were generous and prices were reasonable. I would easily have given 4 stars, but the service needs improvement. You would need to plan to spend at least a couple of hours for a lunch. In our case it was not a big deal as we were enjoying time with friends, but I can understand the other negative reviews now. We do plan to return to work our way deeper into the menu, and hope they will have more staff to help with the front of the house.

It took way too long to receive our burger and chicken tenders. It's because they were sitting for so long and the burger was not even warm. It had absolutely no flavor. It was advertised as caramelized, onions, Swiss cheese and grilled mushrooms. I only realized now that I received red onions. It was such a disappointment, but I was hungry. It was only remarkable in how remarkably tasteless it was. The service was just abysmal. It was Sunday afternoon around 1pm - 8/16. We had to flag our server down and she was not even friendly. She never said thank you when she handed our receipt. We received our cold meal and we had no utensils or napkins. It took us some time to flag down someone. We had to ask for ketchup and there were no other condiments. It was just terrible. I could not believe the 2.6 rating. It is very believable now. This is just poor management. The location and the restaurant are simply beautiful. It's a large bar with TVs that have the Red Sox on. A very good live singer entertained. The views of the harbor are wonderful. It did not make up for the gaps. I hope someone invests the time and leadership to elevate this experience.

    Overpriced food and drinks at a place right next to the beach? Not shocking at all, I knew what I…read morewas getting into. And honestly I was really impressed with the back deck area, a pretty good amount of seating and a straight view of the ocean. The food actually was pretty good. But the service, like the other reviews I am now reading agree with, is this place's downfall. You seat yourself, then it takes 30 minutes for someone to comes over. The table wasn't wiped down between groups so we had a visually dirty table. Need menus? Okay 20 minutes after you sit down and then they will disappear for another 20 getting those for you. Then hand them too you and disappear for another 20 and at this point you have decided not only your drink but your entire meal because you have been sitting with the meal for so long. A cocktail, lemonade and water? You guessed it, another 20 minutes. It was like this the entire time. After we got our drinks, it genuinely took 40 minutes for the waitress to come back over to get our food order. It was insane?!! She was nice when she was there but as soon as we finished talking she ran off again before we could ask for refills or where the bathroom was. We were f u l l y ignored and ended up having to spend over two hours for what was supposed to be a quick beach day early dinner. We were starving by the time we got our food and were all pretty hangry. Tiny drinks, my friend's $14 drink was mostly ice and a massive orange slice, like two sips of drink in there. Got elote dip, which was actually pretty good but it came in a cup??? Like a drink cup? (Pictured here) so you couldn't dip your chip in??!? Like just a badly set up business. And had a small handful of chips, not enough for even our small party (3). They need a full overhaul of their system. I saw plenty of servers and the restaurant was a little less than 3/4 full, can't imagine how they operate when at capacity. In summary, not going to go back because nothing was there was worth my money. As a local, just eat at home or bring a picnic if you are visiting. (The only thing on the boardwalk worth the money is trying the "beach pizza") Upset about my $120 down the drain.
