I
have experienced better at the Sea Watch. I have been eating here for
over 30 years and the experiences have ranged from bad to excellent. As
it is one of the very few free standing restaurants built on the beach
overlooking the ocean and it is a great place to take out-of-towners for
the scenery alone, especially during the day, and then taking a walk on
the beach I always recommend it.
I have found the best dishes are
the plain fish but I don't always follow that rule and, for example, I
would suggest you stay away from the Bouillabaisse!
The restaurant
has recently gone through a major overhaul and the chairs are not the
most comfortable but the surroundings are still pleasant.
Also the
menu has gone through a major overhaul as far as portions, and if I
recall correctly, prices. Yes I know food prices have gone up but this
was embarrassing.  I had the lobster roll ($19) which was drowning in
mayo and on the same plate was served a very wet cole slaw. The plate
was not dressed at all and the lobster roll was so small I almost
finished it in 3 bites. Allen had the scallops ($19) which were about a
half a dozen and the potato salad. Once again the plate was unadorned
looking very blah--yes blah! I had coffee ($2.75) and he had a soda
($2.75) and the server didn't offer Allen a refill of a glass mainly
filled with ice and a little soda and I was never offered a refill on
the coffee until I asked for one.
Our check, plus tax and tip, came to $55 for a lunch that was more of an appetizer than a meal.
Will
I go back? Yes the next time I have someone from out of town visiting
but I will steer them to the fish fillets and the scenery!
