    When you see it...
    Nathan A.

    Being generous on the rating because Valentine's Day in Charlotte is not normal dining. However, when a restaurant makes you pay a deposit for your reservation and charges $165/person, a certain level of quality is expected. They were clearly overbooked and barely functional at the host stand. We waited 25 minutes just to check in. Our reservation was for 7:00PM. We weren't seated until 7:55. Overall from start to finish, food was very mediocre. Quality was not worth $100/person. Oysters with no hot sauce, caviar with no taste, mass produced meals...I even had broken chopsticks! The bar got my wife's drink wrong but service was so slow she didn't want to bother trying for another as it would have shown up with desert. She had visited once before and liked it so im willing to give it a try on a regular menu night but I do not recommend a holiday or major event night. She even suggested staying home next year.

    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!

    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

    Shrimp and grits with blue crab
    Crystal S.

    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!

    "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!

    So this I am a frequent flyer at Sea Grill and I consistently sing their praises about the fantastic food however this time I want to spotlight the service. A couple of Sunday's ago we had the pleasure of having Cynthia serve us and let me tell you it was definitely an upgraded experience. Our service has always been good but Cynthia is top tier! She recommended their featured drink for brunch which was a sangria made with mostly apples and it paired perfectly. She also recommended a dessert wine that had a hint of pear. Her recommendations were on point and so was her personality. She not only kept things entertaining but her service never faulted. Our table stayed clean, drinks, stayed full, it's like she read our minds and brought us things before we even needed them. Of course the entire team is always fantastic but Cynthia has been our favorite by far. As always the food was mouth watering. I think my husband ordered 4 waffles before he was finally finished. They say you get what you pay for and that is true for Sea Grill - the food and the service never fails us! We can't wait to go back!

    Seafood Mashed Potatoes

    From the moment I stepped into Sea Grill, I knew this was going to be a different kind of evening -- in the best possible way. The attention to detail was immediate and undeniable. The place settings, the décor, the layout, even the lighting -- everything felt intentional, elevated, and designed to impress without being pretentious. And the staff? You could instantly tell you were in the hands of true professionals. From seating to our final goodbye, the service was impeccable. Every interaction felt thoughtful and polished. The team was sharply dressed, warm, and perfectly balanced attentiveness with making sure we could enjoy our evening without interruption. Simply put: the service was flawless. Now, I'll be honest -- the menu is a bit overwhelming at first glance. Not in a bad way, but in a "wow, I want to order everything" way. I decided to kick things off with a cocktail, going with the Smoked Old-Fashioned. And let me tell you... phenomenal. The presentation alone made it worth ordering, but the flavor profile took it to another level -- easily one of the best Old-Fashioneds I've ever had. For appetizers, we chose the Salmon Sensation Sashimi, which looked like a literal work of art. Beautifully plated with color, texture, and precision, it almost felt wrong to touch it. But once I did? Game over. The flavors were mind-blowing -- fresh sashimi with a subtle kick and a savory avocado undertone woven perfectly into the sauce. Absolutely unforgettable. For my main dish, I went with the Chilean Seabass, and I'm not exaggerating when I say this was a level 10, out-of-this-world experience. Perfectly prepared, perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked. Hands-down the best Chilean Seabass I've ever had. Truly exceptional. We also enjoyed their Seafood Mashed Potatoes, a unique and delicious side loaded with lobster, crab, and shrimp. Creamy, flavorful, and something everyone should try at least once -- it's that good. Even though I was completely full by the end, I couldn't resist the Tiramisu, especially after hearing about its unique presentation. Worth it. Not only was it excellent -- I actually took one back to my hotel room to enjoy later. Zero regrets. Overall, this was an absolutely incredible dining experience from start to finish. The food, the service, the atmosphere -- everything was executed at the highest level. I'll 100% be back on my next trip to Charlotte, and I'm giving this visit a perfect score. Truly a memorable evening and an amazing night out with a friend.

    I will forever rave about this place! I came for the weekend brunch and the quality of food you get for what you pay is phenomenal! Everything was fresh and the service was amazing. The dining room is very upscale with plenty photo opportunities. You have the option to order freshly made items like lamb chops in addition to the buffet. I would drive an hour and half any day for this experience!

    Lobster roll and side salad

    We loved our experience at Sea Grill. The service was impeccable. We had been to Sea grill for brunch which was also good but we were eager to try it for dinner. We shared the pasta Alla Ruota - homemade pasta in a creamy sauce and it's served with truffle. It was prepared table side. My friend and I both enjoyed or meal and the optics from the prep. The ambiance at dinner time was great and we both loved the decor.

    Chicken & waffles
    Lisa F.

    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.

    One of the best dining experiences I've ever had. I made a reservation just 30 minutes in advance and mentioned it was my wife's birthday. When we arrived, there was a personalized note and a rose waiting for her at the table, which was such a thoughtful touch. We were pleasantly surprised and impressed. The service from Michael was attentive and informative, the drinks--her mocktail and my cocktail--were excellent, and the food was simply outstanding. The Crab Croquettes were packed with meat, not filler, I enjoyed the Branzino, and she had the Lobster. We'll definitely be back. Even though we live in Greensboro, this place is worth the trip.

    Tiramisu
    Amber S.

    Wow. Just wow. This is definitely the fanciest meal I've ever had before. We were in town for our anniversary so we splurged more on food than we've ever splurged. The waiter had white gloves. Random silverware showed up throughout and we got warm towels after our entree. We were there for New Year's Eve so the menu was pre selected but we were not disappointed.

    Oysters. No taste just cold.
    Alissa J.

    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.

    Wow what an experience! I'm in Charlotte for the weekend, and my good friend's colleague…read morerecommended we come here after dinner for drinks. There's outdoor seating, and initially we wanted to sit outside but we didn't have reservations. Luckily, they seated us at a small corner section near the back of the bar. It's very cozy and intimate inside. Just my type of vibe. The service was top tier. They were unable to validate our parking because of some sort of discrepancy with the signage outside and lack of having the proper equipment for validation. To make up for it, they offered us complimentary champagne to start. We were not expecting that, and pleasantly surprised! Their menu has an eclectic selection of cocktails, both full and mini. We opted to order from the mini cocktail menu, and we each ordered two drinks. I had the Creepy cucumber cocktail and it was refreshingly sweet and probably my favorite drink of the night. I also ordered the Don't Shy Away which was a sour and spicy rum concoction with carrot in it. It was definitely spicy and had a puréed texture. I really enjoyed it. And, then don't get me started on the music!!! The dj was masterful. He played all the types of music I love and he mixed them in such a refreshing way. I ended up asking him for his contact information before leaving, and whether he does weddings because my fiancé and I are currently looking for a DJ. He was just that good. This would definitely be my spot if I lived here in Charlotte. It was the perfect way for us to end the night.

    Ugh, I so wanted to LOVE this place! It's in my friend's neighborhood and near some other spots we…read morelove. But it just hit me as average. It's a small intimate setting and I do love the dark aesthetic they did. Gives it a swanky vibe and makes a great date spot. But they were burning incense in the tiny space and it was overwhelming. The other bar guests sitting next to us agreed. *They did finally pick up on it and the staff moved it toward the kitchen door* Staff was friendly as well, though, it was busy and looked as if they had a trainee in tow, so attention was lacking just a bit. So why we came: The drinks were average to me. One was weird (Pineapple Fried Rice) and I just couldn't get it sit well on my palate - and I tried - sip after sip. But the mixologist saw my struggle and swapped it out for a different one. I did like the Don't Shy Away - it was an interesting take on a margarita with a strong carrot base. The Whispering Dove was a take on a Paloma and I couldn't find the lemongrass infusion on my palate. So I found it pretty basic, but pricey. So overall, decent. And I might stop buy if I was stuck in the area again.

    This place blue my mind…read more I was visiting my best friend while in town for a conference on amusement ride standards. We had a reservation for Blue Door for Saturday night, and it was amazing. Now while she was vaguely aware of their "spirited kingdom" menu, I had NO CLUE. It was the best surprise! They have such a cool menu with a full theme park map containing 4 lands with 4 cocktails each. The cocktails all match the type of ride they are, it's honestly such a cool idea, and it was so well done. I loved the art. I will say, I was skeptical that all of their drinks would actually work and worried that they'd be too caught up in the theme to make results but . . . Oh my goodness I was so impressed by the drinks here. I think a lot of bars these days can get so caught up in trying to be unique that their drinks become nearly undrinkable. This place definitely doesn't suffer there. They brought us an aperitif when we came in, but unfortunately I have a blueberry allergy so we skipped that. We had 4 drinks between the 2 of us and they were all awesome. I ordered the star breaker and the green dragon (what can I say, I love gin and a good coaster), and they were both balanced and tasty. My friend got the diablo and the neon shift, and they were both fantastic as well! The neon shift was served with a black light too which was super cute. The one drink I have to call out specifically is the green dragon. There was something about this drink that was so unique, I have genuinely never had anything like it but I would order it a thousand times over. It's so good. It keeps me up at night. It haunts my every bar order. I will be writing home about it. What else can I say about this place - the service was great, the atmosphere was fun, and the DJ was amazing. I thought "wow this guy really likes sax covers" only to look over and see him PLAYING HIS SAXOPHONE LIVE?? Iconic. This place was perfect and I wouldn't change a thing about it. The spirited kingdom menu will only be around for 6 months according to the waitress, so definitely catch it while it's there! If I'd heard about it sooner, I would've maybe descended upon them with 200+ theme park engineers in town for the conference (maybe it's a good thing I didn't know they were there until after it was over), but instead I will just say DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND MAKE YOUR RESERVATION NOW

    3.5/5 stars. Went back to Blue Door to give it another chance with the new menu... it's still my…read moreleast favorite cocktail bar in all of charlotte. The menu this time is theme park theme... again, a fun concept but not well executed. Pretty overwhelming, especially with the bartenders explaining the menu to us twice with the same spiel there is too much to look at it makes it difficult to pay attention to the drinks. I really did not love my drink (starbreaker?) you could only taste the lychee The bartenders not a vibe, it was not that comfortable to sit at the bar. They now serve food, hotdogs... which do NOT match the vibe at all, so that was interesting that their only food (other than the free popcorn) is not hot dogs..
