    My own criticism is my wife. My I came out sizzling hot, and my dinner was warm at best. Other than that. It was a enjoyable evening.

    The service by Carlo was very good and attentive. The food has been disappointing in my last three visits. This time the scallops were smaller than what I get in the supermarket, when they used to be of good size. The sauce was good. Only one person at our table “found” any artichoke in the spinach artichoke dip which seemed to be all spinach. The calamari was good. The Chablis was nice and crisp. It seems to me that the food preparation is in decline. Not sure I will be coming back with friends after so many years being a patron of this restaurant.

    The service and food were outstanding. Prices very reasonable. I had the bouillabaisse: it was more like cippinno and was delicious. There was a slight misunderstanding in my dates order, but was quickly resolved by the manager to our satisfaction. The waitress was helpful in getting the problem resolved in an efficient and professional manner. This was our second visit to Sea Watch on our annual visit to Ft Lauderdale. It will definitely stay on our list of favorites.

    Been wanting to try this place forever. Huge restaurant, decorated in 1970s. Parking lot is always full. Giant restaurant and it’s always crowded! Free valet. Fun vibe lots of locals, fun busy and big. Great spot on the ocean. Service was great overall except she brought me the wrong dinner, I had to wait while they remade my original order. Apps were good, dinners were good, service good, overall good and a pretty decent value. Well worth trying!

    Well while we had hoped that this restaurant with an ocean view would live up to the ambiance. The food absolutely ruined the entire experience. I would best describe this place as Hospital Food, with a mediocre ambiance and service. Disappointing

    Went for 25th anniversary, check in lady acknowledged it, asked for nice view but didn’t think about sun already being down, lady took us to windowed and covered outdoor area and tried to sit us next to crying baby, we asked to be moved. Server was nice but had no idea about our anniversary, oysters were great, food was good, but it was very noisy. Overall was fine, maybe my expectations were a little too high.

    Food was delicious. The home made bread was the best. Key lime pie is a must have . Great service, well worth the trip. We’ll be back when we visit next year.
