I meet for a business dinner at Sea Grill for a weekday visit. I was extremely impressed with the level of service for the time we walked into our departure. The restaurant is beautiful inside and attention to detail is there through and through. Service was absolutely impeccable throughout the entire night. Great attitude in the staff and felt truly cared for the entire time.. The food was like level 10 tried a variety of different dishes, and everyone was on point every time. To top it off the presentation of the food. I'm beautiful dishes just made it even better. Cocktails are fantastic. Truly enjoyed the entire night and would absolutely recommend a visit for anyone looking for a amazing night out with fantastic food and service.. read more

Last Tuesday, Jen and I went to Sea Grill for their AYCE lunch. Plenty of choices and their customer service excellent. It wasn't very crowded for a Tuesday but still made reservations just in case. My favorite on the menu were: Caesar salad and salmon crostini (both exceptional), chicken gyoza, seafood fried rice, Korean chicken wings, and the saffron salmon, shrimp cocktails. I really wanted to like the cucumber salad but unfortunately it was too salty and not crunchy for me. I did share my comments to the manager who in turn acted quickly and removed it from the buffet. I didn't get to chance see if they redid it. Another friend joined us and ordered their curry shrimp soup, and found it to be too salty. She did enjoy all the other options offered in the buffet. My friend Jen enjoyed her choices except for the blue crab. She felt that it got too dry. We are from MD and know how blue crabs should taste. I knows it's unfortunate. Dessert options were ok unlike the rest of the buffet. I did enjoy the tiramisu which I thought was mango and peach cream according to the label. Overall experience was very good. Location was close enough to our hotel (walkable) but with the hot temp & humidity was far enough for me (not a big fan of sweating too much). The decoration, space and the bathroom beautifully done. read more

Sea Grill - First plate - Seafood Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This is another hard review. I really want to like this place from all the social media (local media to some more well known YouTubers), it has me hype up for this place. Well I came here on Labor Day and felt disappointed. First let's starts with the good, the service staff were awesome. My waitress was on point, when I finished my Diet Coke, there always more just showed up. Also, my finished plates always picked up after I come back with new plates of food. All the staffs were working hard. So let's get into the bad, the decor mostly beautiful and trying to provide a fine dining experience, but the floor was scratched up, I not trying to pick on it, but if you are fine dining it needs attention to details. We came here for Labor Day lunch buffet, which is about $46 per person. This is something newer that they started a month or two ago, it is a small scale buffet that is not the same as the weekend brunch buffet that cost $86 per person. It has okay selection of food. So here is what you should expect, make your poke station with shrimp, diced salmon, diced tuna, and crab sticks meat. A station with chicken sandwiches and salmon toasts. Cold station, also has cucumber salad, ceviche, and squid salad. Chicken dumplings, cocktails shrimps, raw oysters, shrimp and grits, creamy chicken, seafood fried rice, Korean style fried chicken wings, salmon pasta, beef pasta dish, creamy salmon dish, blue crab, crawfish, fruits, and desserts. Also you can order miso soup and Tom Ka soup from the waitress. The menu said Sushi, there was not any sushi. No nigiri or any type of rolls, if you consider making your own poke as sushi then you can say you have sushi. The food was mostly ok as for the taste, Korean fried chicken is my favorite from the list, shrimp and grits not bad too. Everything else is ok, it is more on salty side for most of the dishes. The Tom Ka soup is really salty. The miso soup, it is not normal they put seaweed salad mix with it, normally they put Nori in it. Also there is a spoon of rice with the miso soup, strange. The cocktails shrimps is okay, oyster is ok too just on the smaller side. For $46, is it worth the value, i think it is expensive with tips and tax, it costs almost $60 per person. The selection for weekday lunch buffet is okay. Other things to consider is parking, parking is easy to find at Queen's City Quarter aka Epicenter, but it costs $6 per 30 mins, my parking was $30. This restaurant was one my list to try, I want to try their cheaper buffet before I tried their weekend brunch buffet, but the experience just wasn't that good for me to try their $86 brunch, it is really expensive considering in Nobu Atlanta has really good brunch for $80 AYCE also. Last couple more things, dress code, it is super chill, I saw t-shirts, sneakers flip-flops, shorts were all there for this lunch on Labor Day. Just drop the dress code if you don't enforce it, it was all over my reservation email. The other thing is we were there when they open at 11:30am with a group of 9. We were one of the first customers to be there, they didn't seem to have my table ready, seems strange. Also saw what seems to be the manager walking around, she didn't seem friendly at all, not once ask how was everything or acknowledged me that the table will ready soon. It was very strange. Update: We put a $100 deposit down for reservations that supposed to apply to the final bill, but the waitress said it will refund back to me. When I didn't see any type of pending for couple of days, so I call the restaurant they just process it after 4 days. What if I never called, I don't think I can recommend this place to anyone at this point. read more

Omg one of the brunch selections I have ever experienced. The ambiance is impressive with lighting throughout and gilded decorative items all around. Warmly greeted and everyone was so hospitable. White glove table server was exceptional. Our server was Christian who saw to our every need. Beautiful decor throughout and an impressive buffet to delight anyone that likes an all you can eat. Dining has a 2 hour limit but we were all stuffed by about the one hour market. Our group opted to do the full buffet with over 40 items including lobster tails, shrimp, mussels, poke bowls, shrimp and grits, etc. So much delicious food and do much to choose from. The pass around items tableside were herb grilled lamp chops, baked oysters, crab coquettes, waffles. Excellent bar menu. Classic spicy margarita with Casa Migos Blanco. Excellent service, food and a great time was had. Do check them out! read more

We came here for dinner before the Matt Rife show at the Spectrum Center. It is a short walk to the venue so perfect location. It is beautifully decorated inside and there are tv screens playing aquarium scenes all around. Our server wasn't the most attentive, but he came around eventually. We ordered the burrata, crab cakes, cucumbers, sashimi, and wagyu gyoza for appetizers. The wagyu and shashimi were stand outs on the list. The cocktails were also delicious and I highly recommend the Queen of Everything. I had the crab salad for dinner. Others at our table had the lobster risotto, beef Wellington, and royal catch tasting. Everyone left happy with full bellies. There are many other things I wanted to try on the menu, especially brunch. I hope to be back the next time I am in Charlotte. read more

We came for the buffet brunch buffet to me are a little overwhelming. I just stick to a few things that I like and just go with it. They had some pass around items that weren't on the buffet tray. Those items you ordered on demand the lamb chops to soup, etc. our server was good very friendly that is informative as I noticed that other waiters were the drink options could be a little bit more expensive not too sure if I'll be back but I do see that they do have a a lunch buffet offering during the day so that's a cheaper option for some to consider. read more

Did a birthday celebration using the Romantic Wednesday 3-Course Dinner for Two for $100 which featured the Salt-Baked Branzino. It accompanied 2 starters. We chose the Mango Surprise Sushi and Cheese Tower and 2 deserts. We also ordered 2 of the Millionaire's Oysters. The food display was phenomenal. The freshness was there too. The staff laid roses on the table and nestled us in the corner. If you're looking for romance (we weren't) this is it! The Oysters were not in the package but they're amazing. The Umami elevated them tremendously, the taste was divine. I'm not a fan of caviar but the taste was delicious nonetheless. The star of the show was the Branzino. It was moist and flaky with a delectable butter and caper sauce. I was throughly enjoying each bite. There was a plethora of chard veggies that were robustly seasoned. By the time the fish came we were definitely full but it was delicious. The Mango Surprise was filling in bits elf. The Mango was sweet and soft and played well with the soy sauce and sweet imitation crab. The cheese Tower was amazing. The 3 cheese was robust. I believe it was Bri, Blue and Im not sure the 3rd but it was my favorite. The berries were huge and very succulent, the nuts were honey coated and the honey and Jam sealled it. It was a beautiful presentation. We both settled on Crème brûlée because its our favorite. However the Cherry Brownie was brought was a birthday birthday treat with candle. The service was phenomenal. The moment you entere the staff is top tier in presentation and presence. I can't wait to try their brunch! read more

First timers here, but it won't be our last! We went to celebrate our 31st Anniversary. From the warm welcome, anniversary wishes from several staff members, the beautiful rose and card given to us by our hostess, fantastic food with a huge selection of seafood and other tasty dishes and our incredible server, Kianna, everyone ensured we had a wonderful experience. I was amazed at the quality of the food on the buffet and how well it was kept stocked the entire time. I even asked where the restroom was and was taken to the location instead of just given verbal instructions. We had a GREAT experience and will definitely be back! read more

So this was an amazing experience for the price. The seafood buffet is absolutely awesome. You get to pick from list of added hot dishes from a set menu; along with some up charges for additional items. However, all of the times on the buffet are more than enough. They go from bacon and eggs, shrimps and grits, seafood fried rice, crayfish, crabs, crab legs, lobster tails, sushi, various salads and fruits and desserts. Along with the food was amazing service. The wait staff was attentive and tended to your table like you were the only table there. They brought you hot towels to clean your hands between plates. As far as the ambiance, again it was very classy. The linen table clothes, to decorative napkin rings. Again, the price and service charge for service are both worth it. We will be back. I went with a party of 6 and everyone was pleased. read more

Attention to details make a difference, and this was one of the best restaurant meals I've had in awhile. My business partner agreed. We came in on a weeknight at dinner time with no reservation, so we had to sit at the bar (which was just fine). The space is very upscale but comfortable. Service was impeccable. The bartender (Kevin?) was engaging and attentive, as were others working behind the bar. They make you kind of feel like regulars, and that vibe led to good conversations with other patrons. The drink menu is impressive, with the usual classics but also many variants on them; all of which sounded really good. My business partner had the Ube Sour. The flavors, including Sweet Potato powder, where unique and really good. I had a Vesper that was prepared perfectly. Pricing on the wines by the glass were very good and the selection was excellent. My business partner had the Seafood Pasta with squid ink spaghetti. He loved it and the spicy tomato sauce. There was plenty of perfectly cooked seafood. I had the roasted Sea Bass with Broccolini. So good! But what really got me was an add-on side of Seafood Mashed Potatoes. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was wonderful enough to be an entree by itself. Shrimp and Langostinos in an incredible cream sauce over buttery mashed potatoes (see pic). Desserts were also excellent. My business partner had what I think was a coconut crema, which he loved. I had two scoops of house made ice cream (vanilla and pistachio) with berries; also very, very good. I mentioned attention to details at the start. An example of this watching staff behind the bar polishing glasses. Polishing, not just washing. I watched one person spend almost 5 minutes polishing a single champagne class; constantly checking it for spots before putting in on the shelf. That's attention to detail! read more

I highly recommend Sea Grill if interested in a fine dining experience. I have visited at least 3x. Food and service have been consistently excellent. So far, my favorite dish is Pasta Alla Ruota and Queen of Everything is my favorite cocktail. They are also very helpful in assisting planning for private reservation/event. The atmosphere is sophisticated and has generally been peaceful on the occasions that I have gone. I definitely have every intention on returning repeatedly to try as much on the menu as I can! read more

Sea Grill has been on my list of restaurants to visit since it opened and when my brunch group said this month's brunch would be here I said "of course I'm going". From the entry to when I left, the experience and service was spectacular. I had the lychee martini which was so smooth and beautiful. For my meal I had the best shrimp and grits with blue crab that I've ever had in life. Nicely seasoned, creamy grits and the sauce was delicious. I also had oysters rockerfeller and they were not gritty or fishy at all. Just the right amount of seasoning and cheeses. The highlight - our hostess Dina. She was attentive without hovering, explained everything on the menu and took her time helping us sort out the bill. If I come back I certainly would like to be at her table. This is an experience that's worth the money. I will surely be back! read more

The girls and I went to the brunch buffet here, and seafood lovers one is for YOU! Really impressive display plus the overall decor is nice. Very attentive and patient (lol) service. Fresh, high quality, and lots of variety. Crab legs, blue crab, saffron salmon, seafood fried rice, salmon and shrimp pasta, ceviche, oysters, crab croquettes, lamb chops, shrimp and grits, tiger shrimp tempura plus more traditional fare like waffles, bacon, and roasted potatoes, and so much more. Even if you don't eat some of those items (like myself) you will NOT leave hungry unless you do it wrong. TIP: There's a 2-hour time limit, so be efficient! read more

I am not easily impressed with anything these days, but Sea Grill exceeded my expectations!! Wow, amazing dinner and great drinks. I came here for Christmas dinner for something different. I had the best Branzino of my life! It was amazing, seasoned to perfection and served as if I was the Queen of Whales LOL. Lemon drop was nice while my daughter had the Strawberry fizz mocktail, which was very bitter -not my thing. Inside is stunning!! Great for groups, dates, solo dates, just come. The bar was also very chill with the dim lights and smooth music. I think I called all my contacts to brag about this dinner. I'll be back Jan 11th with my brunch group. It was that good. 1000/10 read more

"Impressed" is an understatement!! --Sea Grill truly does fine dining right. I had the pleasure of dining here for Sunday brunch over a week ago, and I'm still thinking about how incredible the experience was. Let's start with the ambiance. The setting is formal, complete with tablecloths, cloth napkins with rings, and proper place settings. Yet, it does give stuffy or pretentious, as some fine dining restaurants can. The space was transformed into a festive holiday atmoshper that made the experience even better ! The service was top-tier. My water glass was never empty, my napkin was continuously refolded, and crumbs were promptly cleared from the table. The attention to detail was impeccable--truly Michelin-star-worthy service. And then there's the food--wow. The brunch buffet offered a variety that left me in awe. Options ranged from sushi to crab legs, shrimp and grits, bacon, blue crabs, and crawfish--a seafood lover's dream. There was also a salad and dessert section. In addition, a separate à la carte menu is included in the price, featuring items such as waffles, lamb, soups, and crab croquettes, just to name a few. Without a doubt, Sea Grill has become my new favorite restaurant in the city. I cannot wait to return. A few helpful notes: Parking is available in the Queen City Quarter garage (formerly Epicentre); the restaurant does not validate parking. Weekend brunch has a 2.5-hour table limit. A 20% gratuity is automatically added to all checks The current cost of the brunch buffet is $85. Highly recommended! read more

Sea Grill Restaurant never disappoints! I ordered the Halibut à la Chef, and it was absolutely delicious. The fish was perfectly cooked--flaky, fresh, and full of flavor. The mashed potatoes, sautéed vegetables, and chef's sauce complemented the dish perfectly. Our server, Cynthia, was fantastic! She was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, made great recommendations, and kept us laughing throughout the meal with her wonderful sense of humor. Delicious food, outstanding service, and a great dining experience. I will definitely be back! read more

The food was amazing and definitely worth the $85, but unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing. We spent $235 for two guests, so we expected a much higher level of service. We waited about 5-10 minutes before anyone came to our table, and throughout the meal, we felt like we were being treated differently compared to the other guests. Our server was nowhere to be seen on several occasions, and we understand she may have been busy with other tables, but we often had to wait to get her attention. They also forgot one of our orders. When I asked about it, i was told it has been delivered to another table, but they eventually apologized for misplacing the order. To make matters worse, I found a hair in my sushi. The manager apologized twice, and I appreciate that they acknowledged the situation, but finding a hair in my food is something I simply cannot overlook. The service charge was already included on the bill, which made the lack of attentive service even more frustrating. The food itself was great, but the service and hygiene issue really took away from the experience. For spending $235 for two people, I expected much better. Unfortunately, while the food was good, I would not return. read more

Nothing but great things to say about Sea Grill! The interior has been fully renovated tastefully & with great detail from the comfortable suede chairs to the meticulously polished silverware. We dined during a Friday afternoon and ordered from the brunch menu. First, the cocktails: chocolate old fashion & a crisp & refreshing Pinot Gris from the extensive beverage menu. For starters we had the seafood tower with lobster tails, shrimp cocktail, mussels, & oysters on the half shell. We quickly devoured everything on the platter as it was fresh & succulent. Then came the entrees: I went with the lobster roll which was served with fries & a tossed salad. It was served warm & literally melted in my mouth. My date had the chicken waffles and let me tell you, this is not your typical rendition of the dish. The wings were fried to perfection & were doused in a sweet chili sauce. The waffles were just the right texture. The service was top notch with very knowledgeable staff. The restrooms were extremely clean as well. So happy we got to experience this place and we can't wait to dine here again. read more

Amazing all around. Sea Grill is one of the nicest, most elegant restaurants in all of Charlotte. The food is amazing and it was a perfect spot to take my girlfriend for her birthday. She really wanted the Pasta Alla Ruota that she had seen on Instagram and it was delicious. The pasta was extremely filling, so be prepared to only order that and maybe a drink, it is much more filling than you'd expect. I was very happy with our time here and would love to go again soon. read more

Just left their Valentine's Day dinner. They make you a $50 deposit and don't take it off of your bill. We were all put on the second floor, way too close to other guests. They made us place our full order when we sat down. Eventually they served everyone (Us and other patrons) at the same time like it was a wedding reception. Our server did the best she could with what she had. The food was mundane and was not worth the $450 price. I've eaten at Hells Kitchen, Fleming's, Eddie V's, and they didn't charge us as much as Sea Grill did. I DO NOT recommend. read more

It took me long enough, but I finally made it to Sea Grill. A friend invited me out for her 40th birthday and I was excited, as I have heard great things about Sea Level. So it was on my list of places to try. This was a Saturday night. The Bad: Before I stepped foot into the restaurant, I was annoyed to have to pay $30 at the epicenter. What type of high end restaurant doesn't have parking or validate? Tacky. Service was so sloooooooooowwwww. It took forever to take drink orders, then a long time before coming back for appetizer orders, then a long time before coming back for main course order. Our waitress was decent. However after the food was brought out, she took FOREVER to come back. As in if there was something wrong, there wasn't anyone to tell because she was not seen or heard from for 20+ minutes. My friend had a birthday cake and it took FOREVER for them to bring out the cake. I'm not sure whether they were understaffed or what, but when it was all said and done, we were there for 2.5-3 hours. From a business perspective, profits must be impacted by the inefficiencies of service. The Good: After I made it in, there was no issue with seating and we had a private area. The waitress was patient, answering all questions and making recommendations. The food quality was great. It tasted fresh. I had calamari, which was seasoned well enough. The Chilean Sea Bass tasted straight from the sea. Cooked perfectly. The celery root puree that I wanted substituted was actually the highlight of the plate and needed to add flavor to the fish and broccoli. The broccoli could've used a little salt or a sprinkle of lemon. Overally, it was a good meal. I tasted a friend's taco sushi and it was solid. The other hightlight are the drinks. I had a lychee martini, which was awesome. Everyone enjoyed their drink. Entertainment was present with whimsical characters around. It added to the ambiance. Not sure whether that's normal or special occasion, but it added some unexpected sparkle to the experience. Overall, I would return to Sea Grill. As the night went on, my rating went from 5 to 4 due to the service lacking. With a few tweaks, they are capable of being a five star dining experience. read more

Let's begin with parking. I like that parking is attached to the restaurant but I wished it was validated as a patron of The Epic Center. The inside was simply gorgeous and very classy. I decided to meet a friend for dinner. We shared the mango sushi roll , shrimp stuffed salmon, and the pasta . We were bothvery pleased with our meal.
