    Ahi Tuna and Seaweed Salad
    Michael W.

    How can you not give this place five stars? I saw some negative reviews and I have no idea what they are talking about! We came with a party of six and had a delightful table off to the side allowing us to talk and interact. My wife had the Clam Chowder: THE BOMB! Not a super thick Chowder but the flavor was great and HEAVY on the clam versus the potato. Have you tried their yeast rolls? They must dust them with Crack because they are amazing. I stopped at one but could have ate six off them. My wife had their Ahi Tuna, sliced sashimi style on a seaweed salad and she loved it. I had Shrimp and Scallop Diablo (delightfully spicy with the shrimp and scallops prepared perfectly). We live 40 minutes away but we have our new Anniversary date place!

    You really can find fresh seafood in the Midwest! Tried the Italian restaurant last year and came back this year to try their seafood restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised with how great this place is. The food is great. The service is great. The ambiance is great. We called ahead and made reservations. They accommodated our group of six by seating us in the Captain's Quarters (the front room with a dining table and seating up to eight). It's very private and well decorated. We loved it. Some of us ordered off the specials menu and the rest of us ordered off the regular menu. We all drank water with lemon (gotta ask for the lemon). Two ordered the chicken torteloni (large tortellini) smothered in Alfredo sauce. One ordered chicken tacos. One ordered fried fish and chips. Hubby ordered the Shrimp and Scallops Diablo: spicy sauce served on a bed of pasta. He said it was delicious. Our waitress recommended the sesame crusted ahi tuna served on top of seaweed salad. I'm so glad I took her recommendation because that dish is very fresh, tender and delicious. They even serve it with chopsticks! I love eating sushi/sashimi with chopsticks. It's more fun that way. At one end of our room was a table with a small fish tank that has tiny jellyfish. Are they real or fake? We will definitely be returning soon.

    I've been here many times over the years, even back to when it was called Panino's. Seaside Prime is typically a solid meal and the restaurants itself is cute and has fun decor. The drinks are good and the food is good. It's not spectacular, and the prices are high. I actually really liked the greasy, soaked in butter bread, but no one at my table ate them because they were literally soaking in butter. My lobster roll wasn't stuffed enough, but it was delicious! Everyone liked their food and it was a nice summer night. I'd come back!

    Rigatoni, chicken parmigiana, lobster roll, fried fish and Broadway potatoes!

    Another delicious meal and a fun dinner with the wonderful staff. You can't go wrong eating at Seaside so make your reservation today!

    Dang, what a find for Midwest seafood! I'm from MA so seafood snob I am, so to speak. The servers were THE BEST, the food was very good, and the prices are decently priced! I had escargot (very flavorful, fresh, and nice and hot!) and the lobster roll (yummy!). My drink was a fruity one but definitely boozy!! We spent a couple hundred $$ but it was 9 people, several drinks, and the free bread is YUMMMMM

    Shrimp and scallop over linguine - One of the specials of the day... So good!

    If you haven't eaten either at Seaside prime or Paisanos.....You are missing out! I think these are hands-down, our favorite restaurants to go to between Chicago and Twin Lakes. We've never had a bad meal, and this one also did not disappoint. The owner goes between the two restaurants and he visited our table this night. We learned that the Seafood Diablo marinara recipe is one that has been passed down since his grandmother. The owner shared that the manager of Seaside prime is one of his best friends, who he would not trust anyone else with the recipes. They are a dream team. The food is always amazing and the seafood is always fresh. It is not easy to find this caliber of seafood in the Midwest! We love this restaurant, and cannot say enough good things about it.

    Fish fry dinner plate

    My husband and I made reservations for a Friday night. We were a bit early so we sat at the bar for a bit before our table was ready. The staff was super friendly and very attentive. The ambience was fun and cute, clean and spacious enough where we were seated. We order the arracini balls and oyster Rockefeller for an appetizer. They were huge portions and very tasty. My husband ordered the fry fish dinner and I ordered the seafood Diablo pasta. The seafood was cooked perfectly and my pasta was nice and Al dente. My husbands fish and fries were a bit oily seeing the oil on the plate in a puddle. It was tasty, but to see the oil, it was "a bit" unsettling. Overall great experience, and would recommend to others.

    Very cool little place in a converted home at the end of the block, sort of. We had reservations and were seated upon entering. The place filled up fast and the hostess was right in having us make reservations. My crusted pork chop meal off of the nightly special menu was very good and my wife loved her Grouper. They also have a 1lb. pork chop on the daily menu. The table next to ours had crab legs and they looked big and fat and I liked how they cut the legs into nice size portions so you didn't have to fight them to get the crab out. The service was spot on and the owner was making the rounds, seems he owns the whole side of the street as there is another Paisano's a few doors away serving Italian food. I'd come back here or try the Italian joint next time I'm in the area.

    Crab cake appetizer is excellent
    Shelli M.

    What a nice Yelp find in the middle of a quaint little town. The staff is so nice and welcoming with a smile. Our reservation was for 8pm on a Saturday night. We got there around 7:15, thankfully the bar is open with full seating so we had a drink while we waited. Every table was full and every plate that we saw looked amazing. We tried the crab cakes and OH MY GRACIOUS they were perfect. We also got the wedge salad, it just sounded good, and it tasted so fresh. The two dishes we had were the Eggplant Parmigiana and the Shrimp and Scallop special with spicy marinara. Both were huge portions and enough for two to share. Both delicious and would get again. We finished off with a slice of key lime pie and so happy we did. FANTASTIC! This place is good and I would recommend stopping in or even planning a road trip. Worth the gas for sure! But be sure to make a reservation!

    Oysters

    Love sitting at the Bar!! Martinis are magnificent, oysters are delicious! Staff is always attentive. Shoot out to bar tender Jamie! Great Cosmo!! Favorite dishes are the chop-salad, seared sesame crusted Ahi tuna, Shrimp De-Jonghe (ask for it-over pasta), Pork-chop Paisano, Rigatoni Bolognese, sauté spinach & key lime pie to name a few.

    Went out for a birthday dinner for a sibling. The service was quick although it was an empty dining…read moreroom. I had some of their cajun pasta and calamari, both were quite small serving sizes for their price. What put me off was adding shrimp to the pasta for 5.99 only to be given exactly five pieces of shrimp. The pasta had nothing cajun about it and served on a big plate to look bigger than it is, far too big for the small table! The pasta itself was nice, however it tasted like grocery store jar alfredo sauce. And the restaurant had far too loud music for so little people there, couldn't even talk properly to the server or family despite sitting so close on a tiny table. Would not recommend

    Great place for seafood boil! I was craving a spot that does seafood boils/ seafood by the pound. A…read morelong time ago, in my mid to late 20s era, we would order seafood boil for Father's Day so this was very nostalgic for me. I've seen the sign for Sea Shack from Route 59 and finally got to try it when my sister was visiting Naperville. I called in an order and it was ready in 15 minutes. What we ordered for 3 adults: 1 lb peeled shrimp, mild, + corn + potatoes 1 lb black mussels, mild, + corn + potatoes 1 lb clams, mild 1 corn on the side 1 sausage on the side onion rings chicken tenders and fries 2 orders of rice We had plenty of food and enough for leftovers. My favorite part might be the cajun butter sauce with white rice... even more than the seafood. I love white rice with basically any sauce. The food was fresh, the sauce was mild as requested, still flavorful and not too salty. If you order the clams on its own, no sides, the bag might seem a little small but that's just because the clam meat is so small. For takeout, your seafood will come double bagged so it was leak proof. We decided to empty the bags into bowls since we were doing family style, and it was a hearty meal. I can't comment on the ambiance since it was a takeout order, but we enjoyed our food. We'll be back!

They also have private rooms and a banquet section in the restaurant too. Food wise, it was pretty good! They give a complimentary relish tray and crunchy thin breadsticks when you sit down along w a tray of bread/butter too. They have alcoholic milkshakes that were super good but very filling. We got it at the beginning of the meal and it was a good choice, since we sipped on it all dinner. I enjoyed both of the drinks, and definitely do taste like the name suggests. The alcohol tasted pretty strong too. Each entree comes with a soup and salad, and the chicken and rice soup was super creamy; a nice start to the meal. The salad was also very refreshing. The lamb was my favorite part, especially since it was sooo tender it fell off the bone just by touching it with a fork. The sauce is yogurty and it pairs pretty well if the lamb is getting a bit too heavy for your stomach. The chicken was good but it also was a bit dry in my opinion. Other than that the restaurant is definitely really good.
