Whenever my wife and I travel, we're always on the lookout for standout dining experiences. She's a professionally trained chef (not the Sysco-and-a-microwave kind--the kind who shaves truffles, plates with microgreens, and makes brown butter a lifestyle). We travel often, eat well, and are working our way through a running list of Michelin-starred restaurants. I only say that to make clear: our palates aren't the problem. This spot had one of the more unusual atmospheres we've encountered. The interior leaned heavily into chrome, black lacquer, and a kind of flashy masculinity that felt a bit dated--think bachelor pad meets nightclub, with a lot of visual noise. Not necessarily a dealbreaker, but definitely not our vibe. The more serious issue was the table next to us loudly making disparaging comments about another couple nearby. The language was inappropriate and made everyone around visibly uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the staff didn't intervene. I understand you can't always control guests, but you can set the tone--and in this case, the silence spoke volumes. That said, my risotto was excellent. Perfectly cooked, rich, and deeply flavorful. I even told my wife (with some hesitation) that it might rival hers--which is high praise in our house. But the rest of the meal didn't quite measure up. Both of our cocktails tasted watered down, almost as if the original flavor had been diluted into a whisper. Her shrimp scampi arrived in a pool of liquid and lacked the garlicky richness we associate with the dish. It wasn't inedible, but it was definitely missing that bold scampi profile. There's clearly talent in the kitchen, and I can imagine someone having a great experience here on a different night. But between the odd ambiance, the inattentive service, and the uneven execution, it just didn't hit the mark for us. Three stars for the risotto and potential--but not a place we'd rush back to. read more

SeaBlue restaurant is the place to go if you're celebrating a special occasion as they are pricey $$&. The service is top notch and the food and drinks are worth every dollar spent. read more

SeaBlue Food is fantastic, top-tier cuisine in NMB. This is the type of establishment that foodies tell other foodies about: a varied menu with great execution. The service is fast, friendly, and professional; what I call white tablecloth service (although the tablecloths at SeaBlue are black). The environment is hip and sophisticated to round everything off. Give SeaBlue a try for your next special occasion. read more

Another top shelf meal from SeaBlue! We only come to Myrtle beach once a year, but we never skip SeaBlue for a great dinner. We were fortunate to be able to take advantage of their 3 course fixed prix offering, which was great! Also really appreciate their custom cocktails and great wine list offering. This place is a real find! read more

This restaurant offers a true dining experience. We've had the pleasure of dining here several times, and are never disappointed. We've brought friends who also love it. Bring a full wallet though as they're pricey. read more

The Ambiance is serene and calm. Service by Katie was outstanding. Food is expensive. Salads were ok. My Caesar was not totally chilled, Luke - warm in spots. Vegetables were excellent. Center cut rib eye was flavorful, but could have been more tender, as well as the pork chop my partner had. We would have expected remarkably tender meats for the price . read more

Wow, what an absolute amazing experience at Seablue!! My husband and I recently moved to the area and were looking for a fine dining restaurant to indulge at for my birthday. We definitely found it at this perfectly beautiful restaurant. From the moment we called and spoke with Tracy to book our reservation until we left with very happy bellies, the experience was over the top. Even though the restaurant was full, we felt as if we were the only couple in the building. Great attention to detail, timing, and epitome of southern hospitality. Now let's talk about the food, my mouth is still watering by just thinking about it. There are so many delicious options so it was incredibly hard to narrow it down. I have many weird food allergies, AND I am celiac. I was so very grateful on how accommodating the chef was for me. Being a foodie myself, I understand that certain flavors must go together and shouldn't be substituted, BUT instead of having limited choices because of my allergies, I could try just about anything on the menu. My husband had the dry aged Kansas ribeye and I had the lobster over lobster risotto. Like I said, my mouth is still watering thinking about how delicious every bite was. You absolutely can tell the quality of the food is farm to table and has so much passion behind each dish that came out. We love that the chef uses locally sourced ingredients and they are very complementary to each other in his dishes. Kudos to you chef for being outstanding, above and beyond the rest. This will definitely be our go to restaurant for years to come. Thank you, thank you thank you SeaBlue crew for such a beautiful evening. Looking forward to the next time. read more

Wanted to like this place. Went for an anniversary dinner. The bar didn't stock VO or Seagrams. Ordered a brown ale dark beer and was served a pale ale. No comparison. Didn't drink it. Was left in the glass and no one asked why. Ordered escargot as an appetizer. It was ok but not the best that we have ever eaten. For entree, my partner ordered a 16 oz steak. It was overly salted and he couldn't eat it. Took half home. No one asked if everything was ok after the meal. Just very very disappointed. Have eaten at Ruth Chris Steakhouse and had a much better meal for a much more reasonable price. Sorry. Really wanted to like the place and the meal but just can't. When staff came to check on the table, it was after bread was served and as we had just received our escargot. The waitress never came to check on us once the meal was served to see if the food was okay. Unfortunately, we felt the wait staff should have noticed that the beer was still in a full glass and asked if the steak was to our liking. No one should need a crystal ball for that but I do appreciate the response and thank you. Cheers. read more

First visit tonight for Thanksgiving. From the first greeting from Miss Tracy to our amazing host, Lola, this was a 5 evening. Chef Ken creates deliciousness in every dish. Cocktails, chargrilled oyster, duck straight from heaven and a cheesecake goodness. Thanks to the team for a perfect evening. read more

The outside of Sea Blue is deceiving, understated and completely unexpected as to what you'll find inside - walking into Sea Blue it is dark, atmospheric, and sensual (husband says from the male perspective sit at table facing the wall ) Service was impeccable. Katie was our server and she was lovely, attentive, and unobtrusive. The food was impeccable. From the subtle flavors that made the sautéed spinach memorable to the oysters slightly smoked and the bone in filet still sizzling as it arrived at the table - every dish was cooked to perfection, piping hot and presented as if in the finest dining establishment. The ONLY reason we are giving Sea Blue 4 stars is for the price/value. We've eaten at the finest restaurants in New York, Atlanta, Scottsdale, and San Diego and while we would rank the food up there with the best of them, we've had similar meals at nicer establishments and didn't spend as much as we did on this meal. Almost $400 (including tip) for a restaurant in a shopping center in NMB just seems excessive. We will still go back but probably only once/year. read more

3.5 stars... rounding down. Lots of things went wrong with this meal actually, but one very important thing went right- lemme explain. The first annoyance was the loud music... which she managed to turn down, but then it kept losing Internet connection so it went in-and-out the whole time we were there. So annoying! Then there was a split salad charge. Who... does... that... still??? We specifically said not to split the salad (we can do it ourselves) but she did it anyway and charged us the fee. Money hungry, penny pinching, and annoying... And then, they burned the foi gras. It's already really expensive, why the hell would you overcook that?!?! I think this was the first time (and hopefully the last) I've ever had overcooked foie. So annoying... And finally, the prices are way out-of-bounds for food of this quality and service/ambiance this questionable. Just way too much and annoying... So we were on our way to giving this restaurant the 2-star review that they really, really deserved... but then they up and served a grouper dish which is, without a doubt, the best I've EVER had. And my companion's lobster risotto also was quite excellent. So... saved by the freakin' food. Maybe they got lucky... who knows. But I would go back for that grouper. Again and again and again and... read more

Very pleased to discover this gem of fine dining in Myrtle Beach. Fantastic menu expertly prepared. Professional service (also lacking in most beach establishments) and great cocktails and fine wines. The grouper special was fabulous as was my pork chop. A nice selection of meat and pasta options compliment the local seafood dishes. I had a difficult time selecting just one meal. Everything looked great. read more

Wonderful service(Shaina), delicious food! Scallops were so tender and perfectly cooked

Our second time dining here and will not be our last! The drinks were amazing! Appetizers are so good it is hard to just pick one - scallops, crabcake and the macaroni and cheese-just delicious! Surf and turf special was excellent as was the ribeye - which was huge and so good that everyone had a taste! The entree fruit the sea must have been good not a scrap was left- all of this was delivered by Jason who was attentive but not intrusive. He was knowledgeable and personable- we shared the doughnut and ice cream dessert- very delicious! Make reservations, spend the extra money on a delicious memorable meal! read more

We had the pleasure of enjoying our anniversary dinner at this awesome restaurant. It is a very unassuming location located in a strip mall. Unfortunately, if you did not know it was there, you might miss it. Quick summary: This restaurant has now changed my expectations for a 5-Star Review. Sorry future locations, you have this place to keep up with! Friendly and attentive staff, mind blowing food, good indoor and outdoor seating (which we know is important for 2020). Details: We had the opportunity to speak with the owner as we enjoyed our time on the patio. He explained that he and his partner had been operating the restaurant since 2008. Very pleasant guy and seemed very sincere. We ordered a nice Chianti to start, but it was sold out and the owner upgraded us to an amazing Fontalloro. This was a premium upgrade and not necessary at all. Then we started with the appetizer ravioli. If you eat one thing here.......Make it this! Wow, just wow! I believe you can get this as either a small or large plate. Either way, you can't go wrong! Next up, Bone in Filet with Mac & Cheese. Yeah, doesn't sound right, but trust me it was SO RIGHT! The filet was a premium cut with great flavor and the Mac & Cheese is just killer. The bread crumbs on top make the dish. My wife enjoyed the shrimp. She said it was amazing. I can only speak to the very nice presentation (pic uploaded). The staff was made aware by me that it was our anniversary and the made sure my wife felt special with an amazing chocolate cake. I finished myself off with a very nice port. These can be difficult to find, so great spot for a nite cap. Although we dined outside, I would like to point out this restaurant has a very cool vibe inside. It has that feeling you want from a wine bar merged with a nice restaurant. This place is good for drinks and or dinner. Well done SeaBlue staff! We will be back when we are in N. Myrtle! read more

Went with another couple for Valentine's Day Dinner. We knew it would be crowded and expected to wait a little. 1 hour and 30 mins after we were seated the food arrived. We sat at the bar and the bartender was great. The food was mediocre. Will try again on a slower night. Many people complained about the same problem. You should go for quality not quantity- that's the reason people want to go to places like this. Only apology was from the nice lady bartender that served us. No manager even said hello or asked about our experience despite knowing the situation. read more

This is one of the best restaurants I've had the pleasure of finding. We came here for my birthday dinner and it was amazing. Everything from the drinks to the amazing lobster and scallops! Don't forget the cast iron cookie a la mode for dessert. read more

Came to SeaBlue on a girls weekend. We chose to do the 8 course tasting menu. From start to finish everything was exceptional. Cocktails and wine selections were excellent. Service was top notch, every server was friendly and knew, in detail, every dish that was served. Timmy was one that stuck out for us, very funny with a passion for food!

We were looking for an upscale restaurant for our anniversary dinner. It was evident as soon as we walked in how the energy/vibe created by the staff and their attentiveness to details made us feel like family, If I lived in Myrtle Beach this would be a must go for fine dining. We could write about the drinks, appetizers and large plates but I don't think I could do them justice. In the end, if you are looking for a fabulous dining experience, make a reservation you won't regret it. read more

Thank you for such a romantic date night! This by far has been my favorite food since I been at Myrtle beach. It's an elegant candle lit place. The set up is great as well. The waitress we had was named Lori and she was AMAZING! She was helping us with dinner specials and descriptions of food being served. Thanks Lori ! Thank you SeaBlue! If your looking for a great romantic dinner come here. It was pricy but I am fit NYC so I'm use to it. read more

Thank you Yelpers! Best dinner I've had on my several trips to Myrtle Beach. I was in town for a girls trip. We were celebrating a birthday and the birthday girl wanted a fancy Birthday Dinner. We selected this spot based on the Yelp reviews and it didn't disappoint. We were able to make a Saturday night reservation for 4. It's a small spot but didn't feel overcrowded. Loved the ambiance, blue lighting and the art work celebrating the female form. I ordered the lobster tail and the other ladies had the seafood risotto. They also had awesome wine and bourbon selection. The meal was amazing. Lobster was perfectly cooked. We split the brookie, indulgent, complete with a birthday candle. Service was amazing. Highly recommend for a nice night out. read more

SeaBlue - Lobster Tail - Wine Bars Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

I don't remember the last time I had such good service. A birthday celebration worth every penny

Food was delicious and the service was friendly and great. We went to celebrate our anniversary, and we always go to a "white table cloth" type of place, dress up and make an occasion of it. We had the foie gras as an appetizer, I had the fruit of the sea with half a lobster tail and my husband had a bone in filet. We got the creamed spinach and duck fat fried Parmesan fries. I had a glass of Pinot Grigio and a old fashioned, and my husband had 2 old fashioneds. We finished with a shared dessert. Everything was cooked perfectly. Beautiful meal, and all staff were super nice and attentive. We would love to go again, because it was amazing food and we enjoyed the experience. We usually go for high end so we are accustomed to paying more....price does not typically deter us if we know it's great. I would go back again and again and again if it were a tad more in line with prices at other fine establishments. I understand we are living in tough times... and supply issues have made prices go up, but I was not expecting the bill to be as much as it was. This place is great... I don't want to see it price itself out of the market. Thanks for the experience, we did enjoy it regardless. read more

Probably the best restaurant in North Myrtle Beach. Excellent steaks and seafood. The service is always excellent.

We had an incredible experience at SeaBlue. Wine pairing with each course including desert. The food is incredible and the pairings were spot in. A great chance to try wines out of your normal comfort zone. We spent $300 so if this type of pampering isn't your thing you might want to think about it. But for me.... We'll definitely go back!! Thanks to our Realtor for the gift card! read more

There are not many restaurants that can prepare lamb correctly. Kudos to the chef for a perfectly prepared rack of lamb, al dente vegetable side, and pared sauces to compliment the entre. As you can expect, the wedhlge salad, bread, and dessert were prepared as expertly as the entre. Highly recommend! read more

Terrific in all aspects. This place is absolutely great. Especially great for a special occasion or date night out.

We tried Sea Blue for the first time on Valentine's night, probably one of the busiest nights of the year. We were simply blown away!!! We were greeted right away by Andrew. He explained our table wasn't quite ready but seated us at the bar. Tracy was bartending and was the friendly person who helped my husband earlier in the day with reservations. She made a Sour Appletini that was delicious! We had just been served our drinks when Andrew came back over to seat us. Jacob was our server who explained the menu and how some of the items would be served. Excellent service!! We loved Jacob!! The food was absolutely incredible. Tracy recommended a Chardonnay that paired perfectly with my Crabcake appetizer and Seafood Risotto. My husband's NY strip was the best he has had in a long time. We felt very welcomed and had the most wonderful evening!! Go check out Sea Blue!! read more

I cannot speak highly enough of how good SeaBlue was. As a vegetarian, it's really difficult to find good and healthy food. The chef at SeaBlue went above and beyond by making me a custom vegetable plate and it was the BEST vegetable plate I have ever had. Can't wait to come back here! read more

Took my husband there on Saturday for his birthday. We have been there quite a few times and we're always happy. This time not so good. Seafood was over cooked. Sorry but when you are paying good money for food the chef should deliver. Well I posted my review on Open Table saying the food was mediocre for,being so expensive. Well the owner actually messaged me back saying F**** u and all people from NJ. ( I live here now) and banned me from his restaurant. Just wanted you to know the mentality of people you are dealing with. I actually notified Open Table and he said they never ever had any owner do that before. I was sick to think that is how he talks to women. There are many many amazing restaurants down here choose wisely. read more
