Always enjoy this local gem. However, my friend ordered from the ala carte menu a 6 oz. petite filet mignon and although we expected shrinkage after cooking, it actually looked like a 3 oz. piece of meet. That was deceiving. I had the Hanger steak special and it was very good. Our other guests had the Vol u Vent and it was great!

Sea venture has become our go-to restaurant for all occasions and just for a spontaneous dinner out. It is consistently good for both food and drinks. This time, our server, Lucy, provided the usual friendly professional service. there is an ocean view, and, if you go early enough, a sunset.
