Seaport Grille is in a convenient location to downtown. You can eat indoors, outside or on a covered deck (best of both worlds). It is a little loud and the tables are a little close together, but the menu has so many good options both seafood and non seafood and they have some of the best desserts in town. You can't go wrong with the firecracker shrimp, and lobster scampi if you like seafood and the chicken tacos or any of the burgers for the non seafood lovers. The big dig or the key lime pie are big enough to share with 3-4 people and we usually still have leftovers. read more

I had been given incorrect information about how to get on the list for a table so when my family (6 of us) showed up at 5:00 on a Saturday we were told we should have called ahead. Needless to say we were really disappointed and upset as it was part of our well-thought-on plans for spending the day/evening together and we were very hungry! When I explained the situation to Carla, the restaurant manager, she listened and found a table for us. And it was outdoors, which is what we wanted! She was kind-hearted and helpful and we are so very grateful to her for not ruining what was a wonderful day for my out-of-town family. In addition to that, the ambiance and food and service was outstanding! Everyone to a person loved their food and our server, Sabrina, was attentive and pleasant. Kudos to Seaport Grille for superb - beyond the call - service and excellent, well- presented food! I wish you were closer to us so we could make you are go-to restaurant! read more

The food and ambiance was very good! We went today (Easter Sunday) and were able to be seated right away. We sat at a hightop table in the porch area which was so nice to be able to see the beach and water. Especially this time of year! I am gluten free and ordered the gluten free pasta for the lobster Mac and cheese and it was decent. However, there are no guaranteed gluten free meals, but there is gluten free pasta. No gluten free bread however. We were also told that any dishes that have crumbs or croutons are able to be removed. My boyfriend got the fried chicken tacos and he said they were okay. He rated them a 5/10. He wished that the avocado crema was put on the chicken instead of on top of the salsa because by the time he was eating it, it was falling off the taco. Overall, we'd go back if we were in the area, but we wouldn't go out of our way to go. If they had more gf options, possibly. read more

Used the call-ahead seating today--good thing! The wait was 45 minutes to those just coming in off the street! Christine was our server and she was friendly and efficient. Not sure why the menu mocktails weren't being offered, but I settled for an Arnold Palmer. Had the fried calamari appetizer and I like their use of pepper dew peppers instead of super hots that burn your face off (like at some restaurants). My lobster roll was delicious. I'd forgotten that Seaport onion rings are the huge battered ones--I prefer the crispy onion shreds, but oh, well! Friend had the massive fried shrimp plate. We shared my favorite Crazy Coconut Cake with whipped cream and rum raisin ice cream. It was really large enough for three people! This is the only place I'll eat rum raisin! read more

My husband and I went on Saturday to be on the water with the crazy heat. We got there about 5:20pm and were quoted a 45 minute wait. I think we waited around 20 minutes! It took a bit for the server to come by, but she was apologetic. I got a cup of clam chowder to start and she brought some rolls! The chowder had a nice consistency, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was missing taste-wise. The bread was nice and hot. My husband got the fisherman's platter. He got two Cole slaws with it, but no tartar sauce. It took about 10 minutes for our server to come by so he could ask for some tartar sauce. Large portion, but the scallops tasted a little off to him. I got the lemon garlic parpadalle with shrimp and it was such a large portion. The sauce was nice and creamy and very flavorful. It came with 5 large shrimp! Very filling. We waited around for about 20 minutes to the server to come and drop the check. It was busy, but not majorly so. Overall, it's a nice ambiance but I think we'll keep searching for something different! read more

Very unfortunate, but seems the quality of the lobster rolls has fallen off quite a bit .... My wife and I both noted that the lobster was not only over cooked but also not very fresh... such a same; loved this place but will now dine elsewhere. On the positive side but not enough to off-set, the truffle fries were fresh, crisp and very tasty. read more

My partner and I stumbled upon this place while driving down the coast! We were craving seafood and this place didn't disappoint. The sesame bread at the beginning was so yummy: warm and soft with a little crunch. I loved the fresh bread! The oysters were so good- not too salty. Our entrees were so good! The yellowfish tuna was a little tougher than expected, but it was really tasty nonetheless. The Chilean seabass was so good- super tender, melts in your mouth. I would've liked to have seen a little bit more bok Choy added to the dish. We didn't get dessert, but did see the dessert menu and weren't impressed. The desserts seemed generic, except for the coconut cake. Our waitress was attentive but not pushy. She refilled our water many times and checked in to make sure we were okay. If you're looking for good seafood by the water, definitely check this place out! read more

Came here after reading raving reviews regarding the steamers, seafood and portions, and was slightly disappointed. Service was great, place was busy and loud. Now for the food, had the steamers, absolutely delicious although the clams had quite a bit of sand left, not purged all the way. And it's a whopping $30!!! For 1.5 lbs. look how small the portion is? That's enough for just 1 person. Really disgusted how overpriced it was since I was just at a seafood market prior and the price of steamers were $6 per lbs. I've seen photos with super big servings of this appetizer, for $30 it wasn't worth it. I would've given 2 stars but my seafood diavolo was really good, tasty, good portion of fresh scallops and shrimp, although not spicy for my taste and it is not humungous like what other reviewers say. Maybe they did cut back on portions because of inflation. Will I be back? Probably not. It's way overpriced. read more

The Seaport Grille is our new favorite restaurant! We went there for my husband's 58th birthday after a friend recommended, and Seaport delivered a perfect celebratory dining experience. To start, the atmosphere is ideal for a beautiful summer night. It was airy, clean, lively and so inviting with twinkling ceiling lights. My family of 5 loved the overall decor. We also loved the view, ocean air and beautiful breeze as we ate the delicious food. We felt like we were on a Cape vacation. The food was just as satisfying. My husband said the baked haddock was the very best he's ever had. My Mediterranean salmon was also outstanding. My mother and sister raved about their appetizers, including jumbo shrimp, clams and steamers. Everything we ordered was excellent. I was especially pleased with the serving size. Some restaurants have a nice presentation, yet small serving size, but not Seaport, it had both. To top it off, the Sherry Berry is a dessert everyone must try! Perfect finish to a perfect meal. In addition to the restaurant itself and amazing food, the service was excellent. We were greeted by the extremely friendly manager, Carter, and were well taken care of by our personable waitress Kristina. She was so attentive and pleasant throughout our whole meal. Kristina was so busy, but she made us feel like we were her only party! By the end of our meal, we felt we made a friend during dinner and we will be back to see her requesting her table! Can't wait to return! read more

We went around 4:00 and there was still a decent crowd. Food came out timely and the server was nice and checked on us as normal. but this pasta sauce THE SAUCE was insane. it was $20 but the lemon garlic was crazy good. My friends got the lobster roll (giant) and the haddock fish sandwich and both of those came with their own fries. fries were also top tier. paired this pasta with a sauvignon blanc which i recommend. fun 2010s playing throughout the meal read more

At the Seaport last night on July 5th,2026 we were very disappointed with our meals. My lobster ravioli had lobster shells in the sauce and still on the lobster- my father's scallop dish cooked was wrong and my mother's steak that she ordered medium came out well done and dry and they both got green beans as a vegetable which were cooked so firmly, they were unable to eat them. As a family who has dined at the Seaport for the last 15 years and loved it-this was very disappointing as our bill with a couple of drinks added in was $220-with a $40 tip to the waitress and it wasn't her fault we spent $260. It will be a long time before we dine back here, if we do again. Next time we will be trying the blue marlin. read more

Love the vibe, but the seafood chowder was tasteless. If potatoes were seafood then there was seafood in the chowder, but no shrimp or scallops at all. The bartender saw I barely ate it but charged me the $14 anyway read more

Great food. Great service. Had the lazy man's lobster and it was fabulous! Definitely recommend.

On vacation and wanted to have fresh seafood on the water. This is the spot to go. Food is absolutely delicious. Our waitresses (can't remember her name but she's from NJ) was a delight. She was sweet and accommodating. We enjoyed everything we ate, from the mussels to the clam chowder to the fish and chips. Only complaint is that we couldn't take food home because we were heading back home that day. Restaurant is spacious and no seat is a bad seat. There accommodated 5 and a baby without a reservation. 10/10 recommend and we will definitely be back read more

Very friendly,we were seated right way The waitress did a good job. We ordered appetizers which were good not great We then ordered our meals 3 of us got the French dip which was awful. It looked like last night leftover rolled up roast beef from a platter. I don't know what the dip was, but it was orange in color & had a funny taste. I have dined there a number of times & it's a hit or miss restaurant read more

We went on a Monday for a late lunch and got seated right away! The waitress was awesome! The restaurant sits right on the water so the view is cool!

Also, I ordered the Firecracker Shrimp, WOW, so, so Good! Then we got the Seafood Trio also wonderful. My wife got the Seaport Lobster Roll amazing! If you are passing through you need to stop! Come hungry, so much to try!!!! Cheers! read more

I hate writing bad reviews but unfortunately I need to be honest. We got the pan seared scallop appetizer and it was more like a plate of corn with a side of scallop... I mean who wants all that corn?? It didn't taste bad but it was just odd. The salad wasn't bad at all but the dressing didn't really fit. It was edible though. The fish and chips were actually pretty tasty but lacked any salt. The pasta on the other hand was a no. I've had lemon pastas many times and this one was SOUR! The noodles were also all clumped together so i don't know i think i just got my hopes up since they had 4 stars. The service was okay but slow. Server also offered us bread and then forgot i guess so it didn't come. My mom asked for bread and then he acted like he didn't offer it first . The restaurant is so so cute though!!! I love the lights. Very cute place read more

Heed my advice, when ordering please know that the portions are HUGE! Very generous portions. And delicious! Here's what my friend and I ordered: Apps: Crab stuffed avocados and colossal tiger shrimp cocktail. Entrees: lobster blt and a southwestern salad with shrimp. Dessert: homemade coconut cake with rum raisin ice cream. Drinks: old fashion and sangria There were many to-go boxes taken home that day! I can't say enough how good everything was. We ordered take out a few nights later and had their wings which were cooked perfectly, as well as the haddock tacos (the haddock so sooo good). read more

My husband and I have been coming here for the lobster roll special on Thursdays for many years (we have pictures we posted when the cost was $9.95--that's a long time ago!) We were there yesterday and left disappointed. Bad enough the cost has gone up $4 since the last time were here; that is to be expected since the cost of everything else around us has gone up. We were very disappointed in the size of the lobster roll. What was once overflowing to the point where you needed a fork to help eat it, is now about half that size. It seemed like there was more bread than lobster in our sandwiches. We decided it is not really worth the 25-mile trip to go there anymore. read more

We called ahead to get on the waitlist - definitely recommend if you'll be going at a potentially busy time! Huge portions and everything was delicious and fresh. Bring a big group to share family style and try everything :) Pretty loud but to be expected for a restaurant with a pretty decent bar with sports playing. Overall, highly recommend! read more

Absolute 5 star facility. Amazing fresh foods 10/10 performers My haddock sandwich was a full 6 ozs beautiful white fish cooked perfectly. Lovely sliced tomatoes and great tartare sauce BEST I EVER HAD for the price Beer selection perfect Lobster salad with berries n greens- to die for. The greeters could smile though that's the down fall They ( about 5 of them) never looked up and asked how our meal was and didn't thank us for coming in today - that's bad. Very bad. Otherwise. PERFECTION read more

This place was busy when arrived on a Wednesday at lunchtime! Fortunately we had a reservation and were seated immediately. As it was our first visit, we relied on our waitress to help decide what to eat. Dilyn did not disappoint. She knew the menu and her suggestions were on the money! We ordered the Firecracker Shrimp and a bowl of seafood chowder. Both were equally impressive for flavor and taste. Our main dishes were a Lobster BLT and a Seafood Trio. Again, impressive and tasty. Portion size was decent for the price on the Trio but the LBLT sandwich was humongous leading to a moment of "how do I bite into this and still look dignified?". For drinks, we had a Seaport Swizzle and a Pear Martini - again, good to the very end! We topped it all off with coffee and a slice of Mudslide Cake. The "slice" was enormous!!! We asked for to go containers which were cheerfully brought over (we boxed our own) and the overall total was quite reasonable for what we ate and drank. This is now our go to spot for when we come up this way in the future. The food, service, and ambience were exceptional and I'm guessing the outside deck is a great spot in the warmer weather. One of the few places I've been to where I'd rate it a 12 out of 10! read more

Overall, good seafood place, but definitely some problems too. We ordered the grilled octopus appetizer, and the cioppino and Chilean sea bass as mains. The octopus was puzzling because some parts were really tasty but other parts were rubbery and weird -- almost like freezer-burned or overcooked. I wasn't a fan of the feta and olives it came with but the cucumber and tomato were fine. The Chilean sea bass was amazing. Great portion size, texture, and flavor. Truly excellent. However, the potatoes and spinach that it was served on were unbelievably salty!!! We told our server and she shrugged and told us we were just tasting the seasoning mix... said she couldn't do anything about it. Ok, but even unseasoned potatoes would be better. The cioppino was seafoody and flavorful. So yeah, overall tasty but some dishes were very polarizing. The service was fine but could have been more helpful and nice. I liked the restaurant's decorations a lot: colorful fish, propellor fans, cute lights, art. We'd come back for the portion sizes and seafood but beware the potatoe. read more

Fun place and a great place to eat at the bar. We were visiting from Phoenix. My wife is originally from the area and so it was fun to engage with the locals, patrons and bartenders. The lobster roll here is very very good. So are the crab cakes. Now the key lime pie is another story. Off the charts good and the serving is not a slice it is an entire deep dish key lime pie and one of the best I have ever had. Generous dinks and great service we stopped in twice during our 5 nights in the area. read more
