Berry cocktail
Sharon D.

The restaurant has onsite parking. It's clean and decorated nicely, and we were seated quickly (made a resy). Our waitress was really nice and helpful. The food was good, some dishes better than others; the Mac & cheese, shrimp and blackened salmon were great, as was the smoked Caesar salad. The kids' chicken tenders and French fries were good. But my son wasn't a fan of the spicy chicken thighs.

Order the Caprese salad! My picture does not do this one justice!

Seaworthy is a great newer restaurant that we have added to our must visit places when we are at Carolina Beach. We tried them out last summer a few months after they opened and again on our last evening at the beach. They have added new dishes to the menu that were all delicious. My husband was very happy to see that the New England clam chowder was still on the menu. He almost killed the entire bowl before I had a chance to sample spoonful! His was so good that I almost ordered a cup for myself! The restaurant is tastefully decorated and centered around an open and airy bar. We decided to sit at the bar since they were not busy on a late Thursday evening before the craziness of Memorial weekend / peak season begins. The bartender was cheerful and attentive throughout our meal. She gave us great menu recommendations and answered all of our questions. Since we were leaving the beach the next morning, we decided to share several appetizers and the delicious catch of the week, fish tacos. You had the choice of grilled, blackened, or fried flounder. Naturally, we picked the fried. We were not disappointed. They tacos came with a large ramekin of black bean corn relish. It was not my favorite but a little more seasoning and healthy dose of cilantro would set it right. We were going to order the bruschetta but the bartender highly recommended the Caprese salad. It was definitely one of the best dishes of the evening so thank you! Seriously, you could put that pesto on cardboard and finish every single bite. I just ended up keeping the appetizer plate to wipe up the remaining pesto with whatever else I was eating. Fish taco, tuna, cucumbers, etc. So good! No shame in not wasting every tasty bit. We also ordered sesame ahi tuna tartare that was served with crispy wonton bites, thick sliced cucumbers, Wasabi aioli, and a ginger pineapple ponzu. Another absolutely delicious sauce that we spooned over each bite. Thank you, Jesseca for your fantastic service and Seaworthy for a delicious meal. We look forward to visiting again on our next vacation!

Calabash (shrimp and flounder) The coating was deliciously crunchy and tasty, and the sauces were a perfect accompaniment.

Nice and casual little spot! We went here after we arrived to town on a Thursday, late afternoon. It seems like it was possibly a place where some of the locals like to hang out as there was a group in the corner that people came and went from and were having a great time. Sarah was our server/bartender and she was an absolute delight! So cheerful and helpful! In our party we ordered a lemon drop martini and a custom made spicy martini. Sarah told us she was pretty good at martinis and she was right. They were delicious! For food we ordered lobster ravioli and calabash plate (shrimp and flounder I believe). Both were tasty and we ate almost every bit of them. Sarah warned me that the lobster raviolis only came with three but that they were pretty packed, and again she was right. There's no way I could have ate another! She recommended getting an order of grilled bread to go along with it and I'm glad I listened. The bread tasted great and it was perfect for mopping up the sauce on the raviolis. The restaurant was clean, including the bathroom (there is only one bathroom. The privacy lock/dial wasn't working right...it locked fine, but it always showed occupied, even though no one was in there. Took me a few times of checking to figure it that no one was in there. No biggie) If I lived here, I'd definitely be a regular, probably hanging out at the bar with Sarah!

Seared yellowfin tuna over a Greek salad
Scott P.

Thought we would try something new on our latest trip to one of our fave beach towns, and, after reading a few reviews, Seaworthy was our choice for dinner on a Sunday night. We missed the early bird specials unfortunately from 3-5 pm which would have been spot on as we ordered clam chowder and also blackened fish tacos which would have been 1/2 the price. Oh well, live and learn. So, back to the review. Clam chowder was more of a stew not the thick cream based chowders we are used to, so be forewarned. Flounder tacos, although skimpy on the fish, was good enough, with a pineapple salsa and Baja sauce. Served with delicious roasted street corn on the cob. Our other dish was seared yellowfin tuna over a Greek salad. Prepared a lil beyond rare, my preference, and perfect. Overall, a decent experience. Only downsides were only one bartender/waitress holding down the duties, and the lack of any vibe. Lots of potential for this new place but needs to address the short staff, and ambience. Next time we will be sure to not miss the early bird specials.

Lobster Ravioli, spinach salad, Scallops.

We made a reservation for dinner. The restaurant is small, so you definitely want to do that. Beautiful decoration and wall paper . We were sat right away and Makenna was our server. She was excellent, and suggested I get a salad with my dinner because it was small. I was really thankful she did. We both had cocktails, and they were great. The food was delicious. The portions are really small, and I wish they were larger. Also, my ravioli was cold for some reason? The food came out very quickly.

Trio of Dios... Spinach, Crab and Pimento Cheese with Pita Points
Arnie L.

In town for the night...my friend suggested we go. We start with a couple of drinks and they were made just right. Next the Trio Of Dips. They were all very tasty. I even had the Pimento Cheese Dip, and I hate Pimento Our Burg8wrre both good. One Half Pound Mid Rare and the other Black Bean Veggie Burger. Service was excellent. Definitely sit at the Bar and have Matt wait on you!

Very disappointed in my recent visit. I had the red sea bass tacos and they smelled and tasted Fishy. I was starving so I ate 1 of the 3 but honestly didn't enjoy it. I did love the chowder soup I ordered, it was delicious. Husband had the shrimp and grits and said it was good. Service was excellent and the ambiance is OK. Not sure what's off but I feel like it lacks a fun relaxing atmosphere. It's a little too sterile maybe?

Macaroni and cheese entrée
Charlene C.

Made a reservation and ate here for a second time. Funny, we sat in the same table. Menu is a little different from the first time and now their deep fryer is working so fries were available. Also they have high chairs now and nice that they are on 30local. We ordered the crabcake sandwich and the scallops dish with sides of macaroni and cheese and fries. Everything was great, but the macaroni and cheese wasn't as creamy as the first time. The scallops were perfectly seared and came with this delicious garlic pesto orzo. I wished it included a vegetable to make it more balanced (and interesting), especially considering the price at about $30. Fries were thin and crispy. Could've had more seasoning evenly distributed though. They didn't have a hardcopy of the dessert menu, but they did have desserts, which they did not have the first time. Went with the key lime dessert, which did not disappoint. It was a different texture than the usual key lime pie, more mousse like with a graham cracker crust on the bottom. Overall, had a good experience and will be back again.

Breakfast Burrito
Wanda M.

Another great Brunch spot on the Island! Don't think many know that this restaurant just started opening for Brunch on Sundays at 10 am! Decent menu, large portions! Prices add up with a couple of drinks, but have another meal to go with leftovers! Flavor was great and service was excellent too! They change menus weekly and suggested they add Eggs Benedict to the mix!

Pirates Penne Portobello
EM M.

Good food and a reasonably priced menu. The Pirates Penne Pasta had a good creamy sauce. I would recommend adding a protein, I did not add one. The gumbo was delicious. The service was amazing. Our server was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The establishment is clean and the nautical decor is lovely.

Scallops with garlic pesto orzo!
