If I could give this place six stars, I would. You know you pull into this huge parking lot. Looks like a creepy old building. It’s huge but once you walk in and they sit you waterfront even before you get your food and drink you getting a great feel. My wife had fresh crab tostadas. They were huge. Simply huge and delicious. I had a shrimp and avocado roll spectacular I have a picture below. Perfect cocktails. We finished with two wonderfully prepared cappuccinos and one of the most delicious creme brulees I’ve ever had. Creme brulee is a delicious dessert in itself. This had a layer of Nutella chocolate underneath. I mean to die for great place. We went for lunch. Lunch is affordable. Dinner looks really expensive

Wow,went on a Wednesday…busy, but had reservation. Asked to be by window with a view- got put in a corner. Had to ask to be moved.
Happy hour drinks just refers to a different list of pricey drinks, not a discount. Margarita was meh at best. Got the platter for two for $45, what a joke. It would have been small for one person. And not cooked well, greasy. Had to ask for our bread, twice.
The view from our table was great…but I can’t eat view.
Seems like a tourist trap, but lots of other places to try.
Servers were attentive and friendly. Apps were pricey but tasty.

We enjoyed our dinner here. It was fairly slow on a Sunday night. We had conch fritters as and they were good. They tasted like hush puppies. Our mains were good but very lightly seasoned. My vegetable sides did not taste salted and the potatoes were plain with no kind of sauce. The bread though…. It was something good. This place came across as a little pricy for the quality but it has a nice view and relaxed atmosphere. The service was good.

We had an amazing experience at this seafood restaurant!
The food was incredibly delicious — fresh seafood, great flavors, and beautiful presentation. The service was warm, welcoming, and very fast — the staff were attentive and helpful the entire time.
And the view from the terrace… stunning! Ocean breeze, palm trees, a perfect relaxing atmosphere. ✨
Highly recommend this place — and I will definitely come back again! ❤️

So.. first and foremost. If you go during the day, there is a wonderful view of the Ocean. Service was exceptional and it’s been a LONG time since I could say that. The con- I’d say the food was just ok. My filet didn’t have a ton of flavor, the portion for the amount of money paid wasn’t great. However, overall our experience was good because of the wonderful staff.

2 weeks ago I starting calling restaurants from West Palm Beach to Ft Lauderdale to make reservations for a small wedding party of 22
never realizing with all the restaurants out there that it was such a short notice. Every restaurant was booked and had big parties was not even interested in trying to accommodate and take our business. Until, I called Seawatch. I had been there many times in the past loved the food, view and atmosphere. Upon talking to the manager Jeanette she informed me like the others she had 3 large parties that evening and wasn’t able to take us. Hearing my frustration she paused, and said give me a minute. She got back on the phone and said to me “ Don’t you worry, I’m gonna make it happen for you” “I’m gonna move some things around and I’m gonna give you a beautiful table for all your party to be together. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! What a professional , compassionate and smart manager! When we arrived she greeted us like family , we had a beautiful long table along the windows overlooking the ocean in a rustic room, candlelight on the table completely set up and done elegantly. The food was outstanding. (6 stars to The tuna tartare ) The servers were extremely attentive to our every need, including serving our cake! I can’t say enough good about the evening experience! And to Jeanette the manager can’t thank you enough for “Making it happen” so beautifully! Seawatch is Lucky to have you and I was too! Anyone who wants an absolutely terrific dining experience Seawatch is the place to go!!

We visited as a group of four people, around 2pm on the 24th of September.
I ordered the lobster bisque which was ok and a Salmon BLT which was plain terrible.
Two slices of bread and some traces of salmon pressed together in a contact grill.
The whole dry mess did cost $22 I think.
When the waiter eventually came by to clear the table he wasn’t asking why I didn’t eat up or if everything had been alright.
I had to point out to him that the BLT had been plain terrible.
Though he didn’t come by after having served our meals to check on us, he replied that I should have said this earlier and he wouldn’t be able to return it to the chef.
He then asked if we wanted coffees or desserts, BUT wasn’t making any efforts to offer me or the group anything for free which would have been an expected gesture.
Generally the service and food we had wasn’t up to the reviews on here, neither price or quality wise.
Disappointing at best!

We had dinner at Sea Watch, and honestly, for the price, I’ve eaten better. The grouper lacked flavor—it didn’t even seem to have basic seasoning like salt or pepper. The bouillabaisse was simple and just okay; edible, but not memorable, and I’ve definitely had much better versions elsewhere. The tuna tartare was ok.
On a positive note, the lobster bisque was enjoyable, and the chocolate dessert was excellent—rich, smooth, and the best part of the meal.
Overall, for the price, I’ve had better dining experiences. Cozy place, but the food could use more attention to flavor and detail.

I have not been to Sea Watch in 20 years. The Boathouse Baked Oysters were amazing! We will definitely be back! They also have the Diane Salad that Boatyard took off their menu.

Second time here and it was even better than the first. Got the iconic Seafood Medley and it was truly amazing! That was after the charred octopus for starters with a watermelon margarita. Wrapped it up with some Key Lime pie and I was in heaven. The servers….it seemed like everyone wanted to help out. Carlos was our main waiter and he was tremendous. Every recommendation was spot on. They made us feel like family! And the place is such a refreshing change of pace from most places that seem intent on cramming as many as they can fit into some boring box of a room. Not here! We had a great table near the window with an ocean view and didn’t need to yell to be heard. I can’t recommend more highly and can’t wait to go back.
