I am a seafood snob! I was hesitant to go, but friends invited us so we said yes! The experience was amazing! From our waiter, Joe, explaining the menu with the fresh seafood choices and flavors, to Johnny, our chef...presentation and delicious entrees! Highly recommend! We will definitely be back! read more

Food was outstanding and so was the service. The place was small and it was packed but we didn't feel crowded or neglected. I highly recommend you try this Chef owned and operated restaurant. read more

My husband and I had dinner at Seaboy. First of all, it was the best experience we've ever had at a restaurant. The food was amazing and the service was first class. We've been to many upscale restaurants in Charlotte, Boston, and Charleston, and Seaboy is our favorite so far. We drove 40 minutes to get there and will gladly drive many times to dine at Seaboy. read more

Great food and service. I had the Branzino and my husband had the NC Trout. With a bottle of Albarino. We will be back! read more

We enjoyed a wonderful date night without the kids and visited Seaboy. The crab croquettes and grouper cheeks were delicious. The scallops and risotto dish was delicious. We appreciate fresh seafood, especially being from the beach. The staff was personable and Joe took wonderful care of us. We will definitely be back. Thank you! read more

Amazing food, service & cocktails...just try it!! So glad we don't have to trek down to Charlotte for this gem.

Amazing!! Incredible food and terrific service -- can't wait to go back! We had the tuna crudo, grouper cheeks, little gem caesar, scallops and grilled tuna. All amazing! read more

On our second visit we had Lainey book us a reservation for every Friday. When we go we feel like we are amongst old friends. The food is amazing and ingredients change often to what is in season. Jonny is an amazing Chef. Shout out to Cole, CJ, Asa, Adam and Josh the other members of this masterful culinary crew. Jade and Nico the amazing bartenders. Bartender does not even begin to describe their skill set. Please try this gem of a place in Cornelius! read more

Where to begin - Seaboy is one of the best restaurants I've been to in a long time. It is definitely one of the best restaurants in the Charlotte area. I have been twice and have gotten numerous dishes - there is not a single thing I wouldn't reorder. Food is high-quality, the flavors are incredible, and presentation is beautiful. I love sitting at the counter and watching the kitchen, they were even kind enough to let us try the scallop toast on my last visit, which was delicious as well. The chefs are so kind and friendly, and the servers are all wonderful and attentive. Even the drinks are incredible - we loved both our cocktails and mocktails. What we ordered this visit: little gem Caesar (forgot to take a picture), grilled oysters - herb, bacon, and Cajun, yellowfin crudo, crispy skate bites, crab and chorizo croquettes, PEI mussels, lamb ragu, scallop toast (compliments of the chef), and cheesecake (not pictured). I would reorder everything, but my favorites are probably the Cajun and bacon grilled oysters, yellowfin crudo, and the crab and chorizo croquettes. Last time we went, we ordered several of these items plus the crab dip and crispy sea bass cheeks. Next time, I plan to get an entree because they all look amazing, but I wanted to try as many things as possible on these first few visits. This is such a beautiful date-night spot and a great spot to go with some girl friends. This was the best addition to the LKN area - they truly blew my expectations out of the water. I am so impressed with everything the chef is doing at this restaurant and can't wait for my next visit! read more

Home Run ! Food, service and atmosphere were amazing. Just a fun evening. We will be returning.

I had the pleasure of dining here on a beautiful Saturday evening and was able to sit out on the Patio as a walk in as I arrived early. The service was excellent - they treated me like I was a food critic with the level of attentiveness and detailed descriptions of their dishes. I had their tuna crudo, which was one of the best tasting dishes I have had- I cannot wait to go back and order it again. I also had the oysters and crispy fish small plate- everything was presented wonderfully, and the fish had just the right amount of batter to fish ratio. The meal ended with a complimentary glass of sherry to top it off. Will DEFINITELY be putting this on the regular rotation! read more

Absolutely spectacular restaurant. Every dish was on point... everyone that works there is great and happy to be there.. all the patrons left beyond satisfied. Good music too. Kent had great recommendations, conversations, and even some interesting history on a few of the dishes. read more

Highly recommend this restaurant! My staff and I visited on a weekday, and we had an outstanding overall experience. We were a party of seven, which can be a bit large for a restaurant of this size, but the service was exceptional--we were never neglected or overlooked. Ken was our waiter, and he did a phenomenal job. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and able to answer all of our questions with ease. He was very informative, and we truly enjoyed his personality and hospitality. He is clearly a great server and excellent at what he does. The food was even better. Everything we tried was phenomenal--the swordfish, tuna, lamb chops, and the special of the night (a fish whose name I unfortunately can't remember) were all delicious. We sampled almost every small plate, and each one impressed us. As someone who loves oysters--raw, steamed, or grilled--I was especially happy. One person at our table ordered the steak and said it was great. Even though it's their only steak option, it's clear they make it a priority to ensure it's outstanding. If you love seafood, this place can't be beat. I hope anyone reading this review takes the time to check it out and enjoys the food as much as our party did. read more

Impeccable service! From the hostess to the bar folks to the waiter, super friendly people. The vibes inside were wonderful too, from the windows to the walls to the tiny fish on the tables. We got the branzino, the croquettes, some oysters, and a skate wing. All were excellent. Although I'd particularly recommend the branzino and the croquettes. We will definitely be coming back here! read more

Seaboy is a true gem! The food is fresh and delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. If you love seafood, this will be your new favorite spot. read more

Seaboy - Seafood Near Me - Cornelius, North Carolina

Food and cocktails are delicious! Service is fantastic. We were seated inside in the back dining area which was cozy and comfortable. I recommend making a reservation. Seaboy is in high demand, and rightfully so! read more

Fantastic new restaurant in Cornelius. Amazing service, excellent food! We will be back. Joe gave great service along with everyone else.

Hidden treasure. Don't deal with Charlotte, drive the short mile to Cornelius. This area alone has great places to dine and have a drink. This place has it all. From vibe, ambiance and food. The owner/chef has taken great concern to deliver both a comfortable place to dine, but puts as much effort into what goes into your stomach. The place is amazing. You can feel his passion through the entire space. This is my favorite seafood place. read more

Went for dinner a second time. Started with Crab & Chorizo Croquettes and Lamb Ragu. She had the Grilled Yellowfin Tuna and I had the Whole Branzino. Shared Carrot Cake and double Espresso. Absolutely fantastic again. I don't know how they managed to put together such a great team top to bottom but they have. If you like an upscale seafood centric menu - you can't do better than Seaboy. read more

I went this weekend with family from out of town and everyone loved it. Only great things to say about the wonderful food and charismatic service. We sat in the back dinning room and it's perfect for groups of 4-6. Will be back soon because I have not stopped thinking about the sea bass cheeks, lamb pasta, croquettes and scallops with risotto. read more

Amazing service, great ambiance and the food is by far the best in the Lake Norman area. The portions are big and the service is bigger! Love this spot! read more

I've lived in the Charlotte area for over two years and this may have been the best meal and the best service that I've had. We had oysters, crab dip, lamb ragu, and blackened swordfish. All cooked to perfection! read more

The scallops with shrimp risotto was delicious. We had the crab dip appetiser that was divine.Top notch service and great drinks

With how smoothly this place runs and delicious their food is you would think they've been open for years! We went for dinner on Saturday night for date night and were blown away! Seated right away for our reservation and promptly greeted by Peter, followed by another server who was full of information about the restaurant and all of their dishes. Started off with a half dozen oysters, their house made Cajun saltines were an incredible complement to the oysters. Followed by their crab dip, one of the most decadent rich and delicious dips I have ever had; most of the time with a crab dip there is a good bit of fish or breadcrumbs or too much cheese added but this one was exceptional and loaded with chucks of crab meat! The tuna crudo I expected to be delicious but this one blew us out of the park with the flavors and the orange to really lighten and brighten the other flavors. The sea scallops with rock shrimp risotto was so creamy and the scallops were cooked to absolute perfection. Will definitely be back soon because we want to try every thing this menu has to offer! read more

Loved, loved, loved this place! Casual atmosphere with a gourmet touch. I met the chef/owner as the seating was limited and my husband and I were offered a seat at the chef's counter. I highly recommend it. It isn't your normal, fried, fishcamp, fare@ read more

Excellent service, beautiful restaurant, and spectacular seafood! Every dish we tried was stellar. Loved the crudo, flounder, and croquettes! Will be going back! read more

I have to say for a restaurant that just opened a few weeks ago...they are performing at a very high level! We sat at the bar and enjoyed one of each flavor of the grilled oysters and they were spectacular. Plump, beautiful oysters with creole, herb and bacon/Fresno chili toppings that were light in texture but brightly flavored. Some of the best oysters I have ever eaten!Fried skate wing with charred lemon tartar sauce was a light and delicious. The Little gem Caesar, which can be ubiquitous these days, was 5-6 premium ingredients that showcase the chefs ability to balance flavors. It's one of the first times I finished the salad and it left me wanting more. The candied beets, served warm with a smattering of pecans was so good, I used my spoon to ensure every beet was bathed in the delicious glaze. We finished with the lamb ragu, which was richly flavored with merguez sausage. The homemade pasta was a bit toothsome but this meal already had me preparing for my next visit. The bartender did a great job of coursing out the various dishes and the support staff was very attentive. It is a cute restaurant that has kept the charm of the original old house. read more

Absolutley wonderful dinner tonight. We had a wonderful Pino Noir to start with a lovely scallop appetizer, followed by the Branzino sea bass with a side of special potato salad ( warm and seared red potatoes). Our waiter, Kent, was fantastic, well informed and entertaining. Everything was a special presentation. Desert was delicious chocolate cake. WE SHALL RETURN and THANK YOU SEABOY! read more

10/10 incredible experience and food. Feels casual but service and food is elegant and top notch

Local Guide Chandler Y and her Husband took me and my wife here and we had an incredible meal. Our favorites were the croquettes, the halibut cheeks and the halibut main. I think my favorite meal I've had in the Lake Norman area. I highly recommend. read more

Great experience, food and atmosphere is amazing. And drinks are fantastic. Service is the best!

My wife and I went for an early dinner on the official opening night. Chef Jonathan, Manager Keith, and server Peter ALL did an outstanding job! The staff worked together as if they had been open for a long time. Everyone was fully engaged, appreciative of our presence, engaging to interact with... and that is just the staff. The food was beyond expectation and reasonably priced. We started with the Roasted Beets and Crab Croquet small (not so small) plates. Both were exceptional and delivered promptly. We split our second course - the Yellowfin Tuna entree which was perfectly prepared and exceptional in every way. Peter did a great job helping us select a wine with dinner and making sure that everything was perfect. He tempted us with a Key-lime/meringue tart for dessert that was tasty and light and a nice cap off to of an excellent experience. This is one of those rare restaurants where they make a point of getting to know you and making you feel welcome. That combined with incredible food will ensure their success for a long time to come. We are so happy to welcome you to our neighborhood! Joe & Uschi... Davidson residents. read more
