    We have been coming here for many years celebrating many special occasions.It is a beautiful location. I have lived in Florida since 1990 but also came here in the 1980’s while on vacation. The food quality is not the same. Especially with high end prices quality is expected.The atmosphere is spectacular but the nostalgia of it all keeps me coming back and trying it again, hoping the food gets better . We are in our late 50’s and I saw many elderly couples here probably coming back for the same reasons as we did for the old reputation this restaurant had in the 1980’s . Let’s hope it gets better in the new year!

    The filet mignon was cut unevenly, which resulted in a lot of medium-well (well?) done on a steak ordered medium rare. And the texture tough- not sure it was a filet cut. Open Table had asked about special occasion, and it was our 47th wedding anniversary, but not a word was mentioned about that, either. We’ve been Sea Watch customers for 40 years, but this steak was very disappointing.

    Always a fun venue for our holiday get together. The Holiday Menu was my favorite today. I had the pappadelle and seafood, with a whole lobster tail. Declicious! Friends enjoyed the Fish and Chips. Everyone was happy.
