    It was our last/big night out in FTL, searched online for best restaurants, were in the mood for seafood, having had Mexican, Italian and Chinese on the trip. Wild Sea was #2 overall, was in the area we wanted, so made an online res for 7:30 (outside was not an option). We went over early to have a drink in the area and thought maybe stop by and ask about outside for our res an hour later (it was gorgeous out). Being a Mon night, was not too crowded, said could seat us now outside, so we went for it. We kept all our apps and entrees to seafood and each were great (I had the seafood chowder and the scallops). Service was good and the prices reasonable. Would definitely recommend.

    This was a nice spot and the happy hour menu was really good. Customer service with the bartenders could be better. It took a while to get served and even more time elapsed before my water was refreshed. And I was at the bar eating for happy hour.

    The food was amazing, first time trying Georgian food but we loved it. They had someone playing guitar and singing. The volume was very appropriate not so loud that you couldn’t talk and hear each other. The pace of fishing being brought out was perfect. No so fast we felt rushed but also not huge gaps of time between us finishing what we had and waiting for the next thing. The setting was perfect for a nice date not, fancy enough to feel like you’re going out somewhere really nice but not stuffy. We had a great time and enjoyed the restaurant.
