Seahawk Prime by David Burke was the perfect happy hour spot for a night out with my girlfriend. We…read moregot there on a beautiful evening, and parking at the Lake Park Marina lot was easy with plenty of spots available. Highly doubtful in season, but that's what Ubers for!!
One of the outdoor large bar windows was already open and most of the seats were taken, so we asked if they could open one of the side windows too. They said yes immediately, no hesitation, no attitude. I've asked for that kind of thing at other places before and it takes forever to get a straight answer, let alone actually get it done. Here they just pressed a button and this big beautiful window opened up, blending the inside and outside space together. The setup is great, plenty of seating both inside and out, and the bartenders were clearly busy but still on top of everything.
We didn't get a picture of the happy hour menu, unfortunately, but it runs every day until 6:30 and has some great app options!
We were both in the mood for a meal though. My dining partner got the David Burke aged burger and I went with the steak frites, which I'd actually never ordered before. Steak frites is a classic French bistro dish, essentially just a well cooked steak served with a big side of crispy fries, simple in concept but all about execution. And the execution here was perfect. The steak was super tender, had just the right amount of brown sauce and chimichurri, cooked exactly how I wanted it, and the portion was ideal. I left satisfied, not stuffed, and definitely not still hungry. At $33 on the happy hour menu with more fries than I could finish, it was a steal.
I'd actually been to Seahawk Prime the night before for a Yelp Elite event on the Birdie sports bar side, where I tried the maple glazed bacon, the ahi fish tacos, one of the flatbreads, and the chicken wings, all excellent. So going in for the steak frites this time felt like the right call to round things out, and I'm so glad I did.
My martini was excellent too, with some of the best blue cheese olives I've had.
Huge shoutout to Mike, the manager, who was warm, welcoming, and clearly proud of the place he runs. That kind of hospitality makes a real difference.
Highly recommend, I'll absolutely be back!
