Seagrass Waterfront restaurant is a beautifully decorated restaurant situated on the waterfront just as the name implies. It's decor is all marine themed with lots of wood that makes you feel welcome and relaxed. The restaurant has two large outside dining options. A huge screened in porch with large fans and plenty of tables plus go out the door to a dining area right near the dock that has retractable canopies when the sun gets too hot. Both afford the most spectacular view of the inlet. Sitting looking out at all that beautiful water and watching boats of all kinds ride by is just priceless!
Their service staff is warm and welcoming, efficient and professional. When we got there the manager actually seated us and welcomed us warmly. Our waitress was very good, promptly came over to us for our drink order and gave us time to look over their big menu.
This restaurant attracts the tourist crowds with it's beautiful setting and abundance of alcoholic drinks - people who want to have a good time with friends and it's prices reflect that. Their food was good but I did expect a little more than average choices to match their decor and view.
We started off with their fish dip. Made with Wahoo fish and another whitefish served with a lemon wedge and tortilla chips- so the menu stated. Our fish dip came out with the lemon wedge stuck right in the middle of the dip which I wasn't crazy about presentation just because my husband doesn't like lemon on his fish. It was also served with a nice portion of crispy, browned homemade potato chips!! A MUCH better choice than bagged tortilla chips! The dip and chips were the best part of our meal! The dip was tasty and had a slight bit of heat not noticeable at first until it hits the back of your tongue. Fish was mild tasting and plentiful in the dip. Very, very good!
I ordered their Asian salad with grilled chicken breast. My salad had iceberg lettuce chunks, pineapple chunks, julienned carrots, chow mein noodles from a can, slivered almonds and a few sunflower seeds. The chicken breast looked like maybe 4 ounces of meat sliced thinly. If it touched a grill it was to gently kiss it goodbye. The chicken was tender and juicy, easily cut with a fork. The dressing was an dark, thick and very sweet Oriental dressing. I would have loved to seen some Napa Cabbage, bean sprouts, Edamame beans added to the mix. Get rid of those anemic looking chow mein noodles and replace them with chunks of fried ramen noodles. Switch up the dressing to something fresh and they would have a salad that would fit with their beautiful surroundings and $10.99 price!!
My husband had a burger which looked good with a side of those glorious homemade potato chips. He said the burger was good - not great but good.
Their fried selection of seafood looked good from what I could see as the waitress walked them by but were out of our spending budget for a lunch. Since it was our first time there we didn't know what to expect. Next time we will go for a date night and chose some of the more expensive items on the menu.
A nice solid place to go to watch the sunset looking over a beautiful inlet of water eating seafood and drinking some beautiful looking cocktails, just make sure you plan for the cost of enjoyable dining!! read more
