    Wine list is ridiculously overpriced and the mark up is insane. It’s one thing to have great wines and mark them up- but this is robbery. A 125%-150% markup is offensive.

    Overall amazing, our Server Brad was very attentive and friendly. The only item of negative note was the noise level.

    Excellent service and food. Felt that every staff member went out of their way to make sure we had everything that we needed. Our server was extremely attentive and had great menu recommendations...always checking on us. We had the following dishes: Octopus, Bronzino, Grouper, and brussel sprouts. All were delicious! I was so glad I had made a reservation here!

    Menu was creative and interesting. Everything we had was excellently prepared. Waitstaff was attentive and very knowledgable. Solid wine list. Only thing preventing 5 star rating was the people coming back from Disney. Lots of casually dressed people with tired kids returning from a long day at theme parks. Not a problem or complaint, and should be expected since this JW is basically at Epcot. Just keep this in mind if you are sensitive about dining ambiance.

    The drinks were really good And we were really impressed by the Bartender service. Although when we got into the restaurant, it wasn’t very impressive from a service perspective. The steak tartar was awesome and likely was the best thing we had and we got salmon, which was also good. The tuna Tartare was lackluster. Overall I would’ve expected everything to blow me away and it was just alright. The Dessert was right I didn’t blow us away. I likely wouldn’t go again. There are too many restaurants that do a better job.

    Disappointing Experience at a Previously Exceptional Restaurant We’ve dined at Sear + Sea before and had an incredible experience, which is why we decided to visit again during our stay at the JW Marriott Bonnet Creek. Unfortunately, this visit was a major letdown, both in terms of service and food quality. The evening started poorly when our 8:30 pm reservation couldn’t be found. We were finally seated close to 9 pm, already a frustrating start. Dining with our toddler, we placed his meal order alongside our drink and appetizer requests, asking for it to be expedited. Despite this, it took 30 minutes for the server to inform us that one of our appetizers was no longer available. By 10 pm, we finally received our appetizers and our child’s dinner, which felt far too late. The main courses didn’t arrive until another 30 minutes later, and by this point, the food was underwhelming and not at all worth the wait. My wife had to leave early with our sleepy child, while I had to stay behind hoping to find someone so I could settle the check—a far cry from the enjoyable evening we envisioned. Service was also a huge disappointment. While other tables seated after us received attentive service (water refills, small complementary bites, or at least regular updates), we were left chasing down staff for basic needs like water or an update on our meals. In summary, this was an unacceptably poor experience for a restaurant with such a strong reputation. The combination of lackluster food, slow and inattentive service, and overall disorganization made the evening far from enjoyable. Sadly, I can no longer recommend Sear + Sea, especially for a special occasion or evening out.
