I LOVE places like these: unassuming so the amazing quality of the food is unexpected. The Lobster Roll is filled and prepared perfectly, the Calamari is fresh! I also loved the detail of the grilled lemon, which makes it more flavorful and easier to squeeze. I am already thinking about when I can go back!

If you love delicious seafood come here! We stumbled in on this neighborhood seafood spot when we saw the sign for $1 oysters and $3 beers and ended up trying almost everything on the menu! The peel & eat shrimp as well as the muscles are standouts and nothing beats cheap delicious oysters and beer! Definitely recommend especially if you’re already in the NP area!

This is truly a hidden gem in North Park. The seafood is good and not ridiculously priced. Had the fish tacos which were amazing! Also, tried the lobster mac n cheese and must say there was a good amount of lobster. They also have a great selection of draft beers.

4% surcharge. I'm not pleased that they decided to deceptively price their menu. Paying for electricity, sourcing produce, and paying employees is YOUR cost of doing business.

Lobster roll was mediocre, Sea Tavern was out of the proper roll for the lobster / bartender informed us and we opted in for the French bread instead - super stale and hard to chew, cold French fries. Coleslaw was okay.Felt like I paid $95 for stale bread and mediocre "lobster rolls"Although the bartender/waitress was very kind, This place is new, and there is room for improvement.

i came here with a couple of friends to try the lobster rolls as suggested by a close friend! the food was incredible, with a nice thick toasted bread and loads of lobster. the fries were to DIE for, perfectly crispy! the gentleman working was very nice and sweet, it was very quiet for a Saturday though, it should have been bustling for how tasty the food was! i highly recommend this place, and tbh i never write reviews but this was well deserved. thank you for the delicious food!

Wheelchair accessibility: right off of University Ave, with accessible parking nearby and no obstacles for wheelchairs.

Been here a few times. Food is honestly not too bad and beer selection is decent.Came here on a Saturday at 5. No one around. Place is a ghost town with dirty tables. No staff, or bar tender. The cook ended up coming out 10 minutes after we sat the bar ( should of walked out?). Saying the bartender will be back in a few minutes.Poured us a pint( not his job). We sat at the bar for over 30 mins and there was absolutely NO staff. Did the staff just walk out and not return.

Lobster Mac and clam chowder was good, but the chowder is far from a traditional New England chowder. The knuckle sandwich was okay, but the lobster was overpowered by the other components of the sandwich and could barely be tasted. There was only one bartender doing everything on a Friday evening. The bartender was apologetic and very sweet. Overall our experience was okay but with so many other good options around I find it unlikely that we will return.

Excellent new spot in North Park for casual American seafood.Chill atmosphere, has some outside seating, inside is standard bar playing sports. Great watch a game spot.Food and drinks: Everything is bar service, pretty quick on the food. He has a solid beer selection with some unique hits, Harland Limited Release and Freemont Dark Star Nitro on tap are some great options when everyone carries the same flagships. The food was what it was all about. BEST PART OF THE NIGHT: $1 OYSTERS. WHO KNEW THAT EVEN EXISTED?!?! You do have to order a beer but applies to all day!!! WILD. Oysters were great, lobster Mac and cheese, lobster roll (pretty good size), and calamari were all excellent. Prices are reasonable (especially for NP).Got to meet Dave, the owner, who is a friendly welcoming guy. I see he's hustling, and I only wish him all the success. Overall space is chill, food is great if you're looking for simple seafood, and beer selection is solid. Hope to make it a go to spot.
