Seawitch Restaurant & Oyster Bar

My wife and I chose Seawitch for our first anniversary dinner. We made a reservation for 6 PM and arrived on-time and were promptly seated. Out server was a very nice gentleman and answered all of our questions regarding food and drink. My wife went with the Prosecco and oysters to start. I chose a gumbo and Woodford Reserve. The oysters were perfectly chilled and plump. My gumbo had a perfect dark roux color and was perfectly flavored. My wife then ordered the Redfish entree while I went with the scallops. The Redfish was so delicious. My wife and I loved it. The scallops were perfectly cooked with a lovely sear outside and a perfect cook inside. They were massive scallops so we shared. Too full for desert but happily replete, we wrapped up the evening and now have a lovely memory of our first anniversary and will always come back to Seawitch.

The restaurant is located right on St. Charles so you can get there easily by Uber, car, or trolly. The building is very well kept and we had a great seat on the upstairs balcony overlooking the avenue. We really couldn't have asked for more. The service is top notch and my wife and I will always sing the establishment's praises.

Weird addendum....

The musical list was very smooth and great for the overall experience. My compliments to the DJ that put together the set list

I came in on Halloween night! Sat at the upstairs bar and had the filet! Chef Kiss 💋 the filet was perfect, could melt in your mouth! My server Tori was amazing, very knowledgeable about menu and helped with allergies! The entire staff seemed to be enjoying their night and were all very nice!

UPDATE: I already knew that this was going to be the type of unprofessional response that should be expected based on your response in person and the responses to other customers. Question, If you did not taste the food specifically, how can you comment on someone else’s experience with your food? Further, you as the manager articulated that the check could be split 4 ways after your waitress said that checks cannot be split.
As previously stated, you and your waitress created the spectacle and the disturbance. And let’s also correct one other the thing, the majority of the food was left on the table. My friend ate her food while it was lukewarm and mushy. The very same points that you thought you were making are not points at all. It reads like a defensive unprofessional.
If you don’t want to be challenged on your INCONSISTENT policies, say that. But to get on a platform and argue with the customers that keep your establishment open is very unprofessional. The saddest part is that this seems to be the tone and reaction for any negative reviews. Very unprofessional and sad but expected.. To any future customers…just consider, all of the bad reviews can’t be wrong and “mischaracterizing.”

If I could offer fewer stars, I would give zero stars. The lobster was mushy (overcooked). Further, the real issue was the poor customer service. Our party did not arrive at the same time. This did not seem to be an issue, as my friend ordered drinks and appetizers. My friend asked for the check, particularly if the check could be split. The waitress told her that the check could not be split. No problem. My waitress came to the table 4 times to tell my friend that they would be running out of lobster soon. My friend went ahead and ordered three lobster plates. My friend was willing to pay the entire bill. After the waitress delivered the check, the manager arrived and asked if there was an issue. My friend was totally taken aback as there were no issues that she knew of. Our food would be cold when we arrived but that would be on us because we were late. I wish I could add the waitress or the manager’s name, however neither provided their name. The manager had on a black and white wig and the waitress had pigtails. When I arrived, the waitress returned and asked if I would like to see a drink menu. I said yes, over 10 mins later she brought the drink menu. Once my friend backfilled me on her experience up to that point, I paid the $156 bill…and asked to speak with a manager. From the moment the manager began speaking she began making excuses. She insisted that the waitress was ‘confused’ abt if my friend had an issue with the check. My friend reiterated that the only question that she had was could the check be split. The manager said that the check could not be split more than 4 ways. First off, the waitress stated that the check could not be split at all, but the manager said no more than 4 ways. There were only 3 of us.Secondly, this whole experience could have been solved with an apology, not doubling down on bad customer service. The entire experience from beginning was lackluster at best.

I have showed up at the sea, witch restaurant at 5:50 because they promoted a happy hour for oysters by 6 o'clock. I spent $10 in an Uber to get here. They were very rude saying they cannot honor it because they cannot see me because I was sitting by myself there were several tables that were available. It takes me five minutes or less to slurp down 12 oysters. It wasn't really the fact that they can do it. It was the fact that they were very rude about It. I spend my money here all the time and I felt extremely disrespected and I wasted my money getting here I don't appreciate it.

Sea witch was a wonderful experience the food was delicious the service was top tier

I love this place, the service & atmosphere are great, I didn’t get to try anything other than the oysters that were excellent but from looking at the other plates being brought out I will definitely come back to try more things on the menu.
We had other plans for the night but made a stop here for happy hour that I had heard good things about. We sat at the bar had 2 dozen oysters and a couple of drinks, everything was excellent and Blaine the bartender was an absolute pleasure, we will be back:).
