Out waitress was amazing, but she was all by herself. The cocktails were sub par the bar tender did not know how to make an old fashion. Food was decent but the lobster was over cooked and rubbery. I would be willing to try again but there are better places to eat at in the area.
This was the first time we had been to The Sea Crest Grille. It was our wedding anniversary so we were hoping for something a little special. The pictures on the website made the dining area look inviting, but it wasn't ... it was quite spartan, the acousitcs were not good, and there was just no atmosphere. The service was less than average ... we got seated and were given water, and then it was at least 5 minutes until the server came to take our drinks order, and then another 5 minutes until they arrived. And the place wasn't even busy! Fortunately, the food was very good - my husband had the mussels followed by a burger, and I had the tuna tartare followed by the grilled octopus (which was huge even though it was an appetizer!). They did not have the bottle of wine we chose, but they suggested something similar which I assume was similarly priced. So the food saved our evening from being a total let-down, but I am sad to say that I would not be in a rush to recommend it.
My husband and I had a reservation for a Saturday evening at 6:15, we both had delicious food. He had the crab cake appetizer and I had the yummy beat salad, he had the sea bass entree with creamy spinach side, I had the branzino. We both had cappuccino with cheese cake as our dessert. From start to finish everything was delicious!!!
What a hidden treasure! Enjoyed the grilled octopus and lobster rolls, both prepared perfectly. Outstanding service provided by Marguerite.
Shore Club is trying very hard to get customers. The problem is the food. Our food was completely lacking in flavor. One person had filet mignon. It was perfectly cooked but tasted like no seasoning at all had been used. The other person had pasta with shrimp. Again, absolutely bland. Please get a new chef! We want you to succeed!
 Everything about our dining experience was A+. I would totally recommend the Sea Crest Grille.
The lobster roll was unbelievably salty I ordered lobster risotto.... It was swimming in liquid The waitress took it back ... next time it come out .... rice was tough like it was microwaved and the lobster salty Really disappointed Service was great but what could she do about the food
This was my first visit here, the food was excellent! cannot say the same for the service, I cannot even blame the server, they were just under staffed in the dining room. It was not even a full restaurant so you can't say it was to busy. very disappointing.
They have very good steaks and a nice selection of wines. My wife and I have been back several times. Be sure to order the thick bacon as an appetizer!
The food was excellent and the service was very good this was the place where we got married 12 years ago. I love it back then and still feel the same way today.

Drinks were great. Service was exceptionally slow. We had around of drinks, followed by appetizers and then entrees and it took 2.5 hours. It wasn't busy but staff were disorganized and clearly distracted. Food was ok, ambience was nice. Adding mocktails on the menu would a good idea. We wanted dessert but didn't think the waitstaff could handle it. Dessert menu looked as though it had some solid options.
Great food, drinks, service, ambiance. Staff was very friendly. I had the rack of lamb, my wife had a burger and we shared the mango avocado salad. We'll be back
I really wanted to love it. The valentine decorations were beautiful and I had really high hopes. Service for a Sunday night was super slow. The bar was backed up and it took about 25 minutes to get a drink, which was fine until I saw the bill. We each had a non alcoholic “mocktail” and they charged us $16 each and it was just seltzer and raspberries! Sorry, but that's ridiculous! We ordered the mussels and the lobster bisque as our appetizers. The bisque we good, but the mussels came out lukewarm so it kind of ruined it. I had the lobster risotto and he had the lamb chops. The lobster was dried out and it was more like rice than risotto. It wasn't creamy at all. His lamb chops were ok and the potato wedges were pretty tasty. When the bill came I questioned the waiter because we were charged full price for the risotto ( it's supposed to be half price risotto and pasta on Sundays). The waiter apologized and said he would be back with the updated bill... my fiancé paid it and we left. When I got home and looked at the receipt, the charge was never adjusted. He just gave us back the same bill with the full priced risotto. I feel totally ripped off. We will definitely not go back.
Pasta was cold, restaurant was out of filet and chicken, found a wire and hair in our food. Our table was littered with plates and glasses as no bus boy cleaned up after the courses. For the price point, this restaurant really needs to up its game. If it weren't for the Vday decorations I would give 1 star.
Nice buy busy.
