    After a poor experience last time (October)with hostess’ lack of professionalism, it was much different this time & they were welcoming. Kari and Juan took care of us and were amazing with recommendations. The food (cornbread, holiday flatbread, halibut & seafood platter) & wine pairing is what keeps us wanting to come back. Great work, Kari and Juan and Kitchen Staff!

    It is always a pleasure to dine at Saegar’s. We have been coming here for 20 years and never miss an opportunity. It’s always amazing on every point. The attention to detail, the food and the service  are unmatched. Scott especially is flawless in his service. He doesn’t miss anything year after year. We love sending people here because they are never disappointed. Thank you Seagar’s and Scott for a wonderful evening. Once again.

    The food was great. I got the filet and my husband got the shrimp scampi. We both enjoyed our meals and tasted each others, and thought they were good. I felt the steak and mashed was better the other nice restaurants we have been to in the area. I also like my steak medium well, they didn’t give me a hard time and try to talk me out of it like most places do. Only complaint from my husband is they do not have large ice cubes for an old fashioned. Kinda strange a nicer restaurant doesn’t have that. We got the coconut pie and the crème brûlée for dessert. I favored the crème brûlée and he favored the coconut pie, but both were enjoyable. The service was also nice. Our server was very friendly. We would definitely go back.
