Nestled in Rocky Point, NY, the Sea Basin has been a beloved local hotspot since 1979. What started as a cozy 40-seat joint blossomed into a 100-seat hub in 1984, thanks to owner Spiro’s vision. By ’87, an elegant upstairs dining spot emerged, becoming the go-to place for private shindigs, hosting up to 80 guests. Spiro’s commitment to continual improvement has kept the place feeling fresh. In the past decade, the Sea Basin has seen nips, tucks, and stylish makeovers, making each visit an exciting experience. But hold onto your hats, folks! In 2023, brace yourself for the ultimate thrill: a swanky full bar with high-top seating, serving up creative cocktails that will rock your world! Join us in this new chapter of the Sea Basin’s story!
Old-fashioned standby for traditional Italian & seafood entrees, available prix fixe & à la carte.

Our waiter, though I didn’t catch his name, was great. He was polite and prompt without being on top of us. All of our food arrived fast and was nice and hot. I was however disappointed to find along with the Restaurant Week menu, the only other menu provided was mostly just a drink menu and there were no non-alcoholic options. It also listed some happy hour specials, but no sweets or desserts to order. I obviously could have asked but it would have been smart of them and nice for us to see what else we could have ordered. Felt like a missed opportunity to me.
The Restaurant Week lunch was $24 for 2 courses and honestly the food was good, but not great. A basket that I assumed was assorted bread was dropped off and after unfolding the napkin on top, I discovered it was actually garlic bread. I ate maybe 2 bites because it was the most lackluster garlic bread I have ever had. It felt out of place and just a weird choice for what I assumed was a nice seafood restaurant. We both started off with the seafood bisque as our first course and I was incredibly disappointed. The texture was closer to jelly than soup and there was a bite or two of crabmeat? I’m not sure but neither of us finished. To be clear, it tasted good, but the texture was extremely weird. For the second course I got the Chef’s Platter which was stuffed mushrooms, stuffed shrimp, and stuffed flounder served with rice. My brother got the Pan Seared Bass which was served with bay scallops, sundried tomatoes, a touch of cream sauce and rice. Both were tasty but nothing to write home about. The seafood stuffing was the best thing on my plate. I got a bite of my brother’s bass and it was so mushy, I didn’t even want another bite. The portion sizes were actually really great, I just wish the food was better in general.
All in all, I wish we would have gone to another restaurant and I probably won’t be returning here any time soon. The best thing about this restaurant is the photo op when you walk in. Otherwise, nothing special and I would absolutely go elsewhere for a seafood meal. I say this as a seafood lover who spent half the year in Maine last year, so maybe I’m biased but I had higher expectations. ♀️
Overall it was a great experience. Kyle was wonderful and the food was great. The place was recently remodeled so it is really nice inside with many tvs.
Alicia was our server, she shared the history behind Sea Basin plus explained the pictures on the wall..
The food was spaced out well, they didn’t rush us.. I am considering making this our local watering hole..
The high-tops & bar menu looks exciting.. 5 stars may not be enough, time will tell..
I definitely recommend the swordfish , it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Everything tasted amazing, and the quality of the seafood really stood out. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was great. I’ll definitely be coming back!
