Where to Eat Seafood in San Diego

"Anchoring the downtown Manchester Grand Hyatt with views of luxury yachts moored in the marina, Sally’s Fish House was recently recognized by Surfrider Foundation for being an ocean-friendly restaurant. Gather around a firepit for al fresco dining. A seafood tower includes king crab legs, poached shrimp, and a cold-water lobster tail. Other options included a blackened swordfish sandwich and SoCal crab club, made with softshell crab and crab salad." - Helen I. Hwang

This place is a great place to go and eat they have a whole bunch of different types of things to eat that are all very good and the french fries here are awesome. I would highly suggest the wagyu Burger. All the help is very good and quick Care. Shout out to Michael brake service. It was so good we had to go back and eat again

Don’t get trick because it’s waterfront by Hyatt. July 3rd evening dinning experience. We sat outside, there were lots of folks walking by on the frontage road by the boats. Can’t see anything else but boats. View was okay only. For being the night before a major holiday like July 4th, they were understaffed, like they needed at least 2-3 more bodies to get things running smoothly. After we got our table, our server didn’t greet us until 5+ minutes, and only because he brought drinks out to a table next to us and said sorry but I’ll be right with you, and was gone for another 5. Shortly after we got our drinks in, another couple was sat adjacent to us and they too lacked the service, after 5 or so minutes they just got up and left. Throughout the 2 hours we spent there, we spoke to our server all but twice, taking our food and getting our check. No water refills, no anything else I can get you, nada. Food: it was a bit pricey but not overly expensive. I got the ribeye and it was heavily salted and my wild mushrooms and heirloom carrots was not salted at all. My wife got the cioppino and that too was over salted. It had one king crab leg in there but they did not provide tools to crack the leg, so have fun getting your hands dirty and poked while trying to get into the crab leg. Overall, food was meh. Seems like a new menu, new facelift per Hyatt so, I’d say stay away for now until they can figure out how to properly run the restaurant.

Wait time: Well I was getting tired waiting for the food. Nearby an hour waiting. Food: Tasty. But, was not sure if there wash fish in the fish taco plate that costs a hefty $29. I guess we paid for the water front view. Overall, it is a 3-1/2 stars. Staff: Appears to be under staffed for the lunch crowd on a COMIC CON Sunday. 🍉❤️‍🩹

We split a wedge salad, scallops and the pork chop. The salad was beautiful and had a delicious tangy dressing. The scallops were perfectly cooked. The pork chop was good but very small. Inside and outside seating with views of the water and outdoor heaters for chilly nights. The staff was awesome! Our waiter Juan was great and had a beautiful singing voice (he sang happy birthday).

Sally’s Waterfront Dining – 2.5 Stars Stopped by Sally’s Waterfront Dining the other day. Visiting from the Midwest. The place looks really nice—great view of the water, and the vibe inside is pretty fancy. I ordered the lobster roll because I love seafood. The taste was good—nice and fresh, kind of light and refreshing. But I ran into a big problem: there were several chunks of shell in the roll. Nothing like biting down on a piece of shell to ruin the moment. On top of that, the portion was pretty small, especially considering how much it cost. Also, the lobster roll was heavy on the roll, light on the lobster. Not my best experience. Overall, it felt like I paid a lot for not much. The atmosphere is classy, but it didn’t feel like I got my money’s worth. Probably wouldn’t go back for the lobster roll.

Beautiful view, relaxed atmosphere. The location is lovely — perfect for a sunset dinner with a great coastal vibe. The ambiance feels calm and upscale without being stuffy. The food was flavorful and beautifully plated (especially the seafood dishes), but unfortunately arrived only slightly warm. Service was decent.. Overall, a pleasant experience, but there’s always room for improvement.

We had a nice dinner at Sally's. My husband picked this restaurant solely for the doggy menu and the view of the marina. Our puppy girl just turned 10 years old, so we wined and dined her! I saw a lot of mixed reviews, and was a little skeptical about what to expect. We dined on the patio, and really enjoyed ambiance. For starters, if you park in the lot on the left upon entering the marina, Sally's will not validate that parking. However, they validate parking if you park at The Grand Hyatt. The food is a bit pricey here, so expect a hefty bill if you plan on having a few cocktails. The branzino & swordfish were cooked well, and the sides were seasoned to our liking. Honestly, the star of the show was the tropical cheesecake. My husband said it may be in his top 5 cheesecakes of all time. Our puppy girl also enjoyed her surf & tarf entree. We always include her, and are happy they gave us a pup menu for her. We had a quaint evening at Sally's!

One and done. The online menu without prices should've been enough warning. But, Sally's location and last minute reservation availability in the busy San Diego Seaport tourist area beckoned. Being from San Francisco, relatively high dining prices don't usually knock us for a loop. But, Sally's Waterfront Dining's prices were nothing less than OBSCENE. Our bill for two bowls of soup, one salad with addition of flank steak, a minuscule lobster roll with soggy French fries ($34), one glass of wine and a weak, ice laden cocktail added up to a bottom line charge of $196.00 (including a mysterious 6% "surcharge" which turned out to be removable after I never could get a clear explanation of its purpose or justification). FWIW, though some of the items (e.g., the soup) were adequate, the bulk of the food order was mediocre at best. I almost felt sorry for the decent waiter who had to serve the slop and then show you the rip off bill. At the bottom line, there are far better choices in that popular San Diego harbor area (e.g., Brigantine at Portside, Puesto at Headquarters). Even the chain Cheesecake Factory would be a more pleasing and reasonably priced option.

My cousin and I were attending a Sunday night concert at the Rady Shell, and I was looking for a place where we could have an early dinner outside before walking over to the show. I made a reservation at Sally's for 4:30, as we wanted to take our time and get to the show early. It happened to be Mother's Day. The restaurant didn't look all too crowded, and we were seated right away. Our server was super friendly. Once she took our drink orders, she let us know that they were rolling from the lunch to the dinner menu so if we put in orders quickly, we could order from either menu. She did let us know that that our orders may come out at different times. Anyway, from that point on, service was downhill. Our drinks took forever to come out. I may have ordered another drink, but I didn't want to waste anymore time, so figured I would just get drinks at the show instead. I ordered a classic mojito. It wasn't bad, but a bit on the watery side. The ceviche was good, but very hard to eat given the consistency of the ceviche and the wafer cracker that it was served with it that we broke and used to scoop it up (see photo). For my entree, I chose the ahi poke bowl. It was good and fresh, but I've had better poke at some of the fast casual places around town. My cousin ordered the lobster Mac and house rolls, but they were out of rolls, so she ordered the truffle fries. I was a bit shocked that they were out of rolls by 5PM. Anyway, we were done eating everything else and ready to go by the time the fries came out. When they did, they were not really done, almost as if the oil in the fryer wasn't hot enough. The server was really sweet and realized their mishaps. The fries and the bottled water were taken off of our bill, which was nice. She did suggest that we give them another try on a night that isn't a holiday and isn't a show night. I appreciate her efforts, but also know that this restaurant gets a ton of business from being near the show venue, and the only reason we were there was because it was a show night. On top of that, the food was only OK. The location is simply beautiful, but unfortunately, I have no desire to return.

We recently stopped into Sally's for some oysters and martinis and had a good experience. The oysters were good and the martinis were decent. I can't speak to the rest of the food though, as we only had this as a little appetizer before we went out for dinner. The restaurant was quite quiet when we were there and service was good, but nothing to write home about. I can't say that our server was friendly, but it was also early in the evening so they were probably just getting started. The ambience is quite nice as you overlook the water, but I couldn't help but feel that something was just missing in general from the restaurant. Next time I'm in San Diego I will definitely come back to try more dishes

We were exploring San Diego, on the trolley tours and came to this area to grab a bite because we were all hungry. As it was mother's day, Sally's had a mother's day menu which was nice! We decided to order just some light bites because we were planning to grab other foods to eat throughout the Trolley Tour. The guys ordered a beer flight, and I got a mimosa. Foodwise- My fiance and I ordered the swordfish, my sister and her husband ordered the steak and eggs, and my parents ordered the burger with fries and we got the oysters for the table to share. Everything tasted so good and I'd definitely want to come back when I come back to the San Diego area! Service was great and our total came out to $225. We noticed a print error because the menus said the oysters were $21 but their system was $23 so we got that corrected luckily before we paid. Great for groups and special occasions!

Sally's Fish House and Bar is located next to Seaport Village and offers breathtaking San Diego Bay views making it the perfect spot to enjoy the beautiful weather or a sunset view to end your day. Sally's just reopened after completing a full renovation that now gives a mix of modern elegance and coastal vibes. They serve fresh, locally sourced seafood, handcrafted cocktails, and the menu highlights seasonal ingredients, plus top notch service! I've been on the hunt for the BEST Fish and Chips, and it's safe to say, I found the spot! Sally's Fish & Chips included 2 large Chilean sea bass filets that were breaded to perfection and not greasy. We loved their kids menu too - such great options and the perfect portion! We ordered: Fish & Chips (substituted a salad) Maine Lobster roll Crispy Halibut Sandwich Kids Shrimp with Fries and Grilled Veggies Sail Away Mai Tai Follow @sandiegofoodie858 (IG) for more must try San Diego restaurants, date night ideas, and food experiences!

Best chilaquiles I've ever had. The birria sauce to dump on added that extra touch. The Sunnyside egg on top with the creamy avocado was nice. I ordered a hot cup of tea and I was happy. The restaurant was very quiet in the morning when I went. Most people are outside, while I ate inside. But sitting next to the window, the place was lovely. The staff was good, and quality was there.

Went here while we're visiting SD for the weekend. The place is places of course so we sat at the counter instead, which was better since we got amazing service and quick too since we got a show to catch. The foods were impressive great, spot on and flavorful. The atmosphere was chill, friendly, with a touch of high end. Really enjoyed overall.

I dined here for a late lunch with a party of 8 on a Sunday. We had to wait quite some time to be seated, despite there being many large open tables available inside and outside of the restaurant. One seated, it took some time for our waiter to come take our orders as well. I had the ultimate Bloody Mary, oysters and fish and chips. All three were good but just average. Nothing much to rave about and definitely not worth the price. The restaurant is in a very touristy part of town and the view of the bay is beautiful so I can see why everything would be overpriced. It was a fine experience but not sure I would dine here again.

We were a party of 4 on the waterfront. Watching the gulls, boats, the setting sun and the ninja skateboarders do their thing. Some people are put off by that level of commotion but it's all good, IMO, at least until large underdressed sweaty people huff by. Otherwise, this little perch by the water is where you want to be. The frosty IPA and strong gin & tonics were brought out post haste. We settled into those as our WEDGE SALAD came out. Crispy iceberg lettuce with giant bleu cheese crumbles, bold hunks of bacon and crunchy nuts and tasty dressing. Dug it. The main event was THE LOBSTER ROLL and THE PORK CHOP. Both were very good. Ride, Sally, Ride and let your mystery ship keep on churnin' out that delicious fare.

In town for a conference. Tried this place because it was near the hotel. The menu offered a variety of seafood dishes. My chief complaint was that the service was extremely slow and our food came out cold and lacked flavor. Would not recommend.

Cannon the 4th of July after terrible experience at the top of roof at their hotel. Had their vegan pozole cabbage mushrooms yummy spices that gave it that real pozole flavor. Along with tostada and cilantro. Fabulous. My husband had the fish of the day with veggies. It's was good.

Fantastic fish and chips! My son had a Lobster roll & lobster bisque (no picture sorry) he devoured them and was really satisfied with his food. Service was wonderful (thank you, Bryan) Can't beat the outdoor seating with a beautiful view of the San Diego waterfront. I thought London had the best fish and chips! They have to come to Sally's to try the best Fish and Chips of San Diego.

I was looking for a quick bite close to the convention center and stumbled across Sally's with a huge outdoor patio, it was lovely, simultaneously a Derby party was happening. The blackened yellowfin tuna with wasabi slaw & avocado sandwich was delicious, asked for it well done which they were able to do, def keeping this one on my list.

They'll sit you down. Forget about you for 30 minutes and tell you their "sorry". Come back with mid food. It's a nice spot. Too bad the service is not good. Great ambience. Clean spot.

This was a huge let down. The food was subpar for the cost. My lobster roll fit in my palm, and was nowhere near as good as from any farmers market in the county. The "ceviche" was drowning in coconut milk and came with two frail rice crackers. Our server was nice enough, the bus staff was borderline creepy and made us feel very watched. The vibe was sterile and uncomfortable. Almost a minimalist, laboratory feel. As a San Diego native, this seafood was nowhere near the luxury price. I will not be returning to this establishment.

Stopped by for lunch while attending a conference at the Grand Hyatt. The pro of this restaurant is the beautiful location with harbor views. We weren't able to get an outdoor table, but the views were just as gorgeous from the inside dining room. Service was slow - it took a long time to get our server's attention to get our order in, and an even longer wait time for the food. We were rushing through lunch since we had to return to the conference. I thought 1 hour would be sufficient, but it's better to budget at least 1.5 hours for lunch here. Food was Just average and very overpriced. We ordered the ahi tuna burger and the catch of the day, both of which were good but nothing special. I wouldn't go back, as I'm sure there are other seafood restaurants offering same/better quality at a more affordable price point, with faster service.

I wasn't as impressed with this establishment as I was with the view that surrounds it. Nothing really to complain about, the whole meal was just "okay" to me. Pretty empty on a Sunday afternoon around 2-3PM. Loved that their patio had big umbrellas to help ease the sunlight & heat. Our waiter was nice and helpful, but one of the people who brought our food totally forgot about us asking for utensils so we had to ask our server when he checked on us. It wasn't busy, so there was no excuse to forget that quick. Anyway, the food was okay. Ordered the crab cakes & the octopus for apps. Both were good, but didn't blow anyone away good. Then I got the lobster roll which is prepared the "cold" way and couldn't be prepared any other way. That was a pretty good & hefty sandwich, but it lacked flavor so I didn't really enjoy it. We ordered half a dozen oysters that had yuzu popping pearls when bitten into. We thought was a neat idea! The highlight of the meal was the dessert which our waiter gave high praises to! It was a really good Tres Leches cake. Super moist & soft but not overly sweet. 5/5 for that dessert. Everything else was eh.

Wow, had the Blackberry and blueberry mojito and the fish and chips. The meal comes with 4 sauces and the fish was cooked perfectly. I didn't expect it to be so delicious! The view of the water is delightful and it gives a fun San Diego feel. The service was exceptional, Alex was gracious and very attentive! Loved this place.

Stopped here for a quick lunch after arriving at the airport. Was very happy, everything was great! Server was very attentive and kind. Caprese salad was fresh and unique. Ahi tuna burger was one of the better pieces of tuna I've had (outside of a fish market) Outside seating was a fun vibe too.

My girlfriend and I came here for her birthday lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We sat outside on their patio with our two dogs and enjoyed the view of the boats on the harbor. After ordering drinks and reviewing the menu, our waiter suggested the Fish and Chips and the Lobster Roll. We decided to go with both dishes and also ordered our dogs the Howlin Good Chicken meal off the dog menu. For our drinks, we had the Riptide Mojito and a Moscow Mule. Both drinks were perfectly made and very refreshing on a sunny afternoon day. Definitely a 5/5. We received our dogs meals soon after the drinks and they looked properly cooked for a dog. Bland and well done. Haha. The only issue is the chicken and potatoes were served is such large chunks. I had to sit there and cut all the pieces in at least half the original size. Our dogs enjoyed it after though. As for our entrees, I was pretty disappointed with the Fish and Chips. It was interesting to see them use Chilean Sea Bass. It's not a typical fish for fish and chips. The fish was so light and flaky. However, the batter it came in was SO thick that when I took bites, it was literally just the batter. It was seasoned well but not proportioned correctly. 3/5. The Lobster Roll was ok. The bread was nice and toasted and the lobster was fresh. It lacked salt and flavor though. It was so bland. I wouldn't say I would never come back to this place.. I probably would just never go out of my to come here. The atmosphere was nice and the drinks were good, but I personally thought it was overpriced for the delivery of the food.

Much better than I thought. As part of the Grand Hyatt it sits right on the port. It's pretty and has options for seating at the bar, inside, outside, fireside. It was cool. I had the Maine lobster roll with fries and a coconut margarita. That drink was the best drink i had my entire visit to San Diego! The lobster roll was not a Maine roll at all but it was very tasty. They should not have toasted the bread. It was hard and too big to eat. The lobster salad inside was just delicious. This was one of the better restaurants on the seaport.

While visiting San Diego, Sally's Fish House was on my list to experience. Situated directly on the bay, the views were amazing to say the least. My choice was the 'fish &chips' for dinner. My first visit here, but I believe this has to be one of the best items offered. The fish was cooked to perfection, light and crispy, and the plate was prepared beautifully. I highly recommend Sally's, and a stroll along the bay to take in all the sights.

Very overpriced and small portions, particularly for the appetizers. It's located in a hotel that's on the water, so I suppose you're paying for the views and convenience.

Frank was a fantastic server! I stopped by for a quick Friday lunch but I was in the mood for something more filling. The cavateli pasta did not disappoint. I'm disappointed that the Grand Manchester is a pepsi hotel so I opted for an arnold palmer and Frank kept my glass full. To top it off, sitting outside with marina views could never get old. Thank you again Frank!

Sally's Fish HouseI was a guest at the Sally's Fish House for dinner and it changed my mind right back. We started with a drink at the bar while waiting for our table, I have to say, their Bloody Mary is phenomenal. When we finally got seated, I went with a Moscow Mule and wow was it tasty. We started with a bunch of apps, but the Seafood Tower overshadowed them all -- honestly it was an impressive sight! Dinner: Ribeye Steak [...] -- The choice of a steak at a place known for its fish may seem counter intuitive, but I just had seafood the last two nights and was in need of cow It came out perfectly cooked. (Pro tip: If you're a blue cheese fan, request extra crumbles on top -- it takes this dip up like five notches!) The steak came along side potatoes, but honestly the steak was that massive I actually hardly ate any -- too busy sucking on my teeth to be polite. Both of my friends ordered the scallops and commented how tasty they were. Service was a little patchy at times but they were super nice and attentive - the service wasn't OTT, just right really although we had some small lapses with things forgotten which is why I've taken it back from 5. Sally's is located just behind the Manchester Grand Hyatt downtown, with valet parking available as well as self-park. Otherwise, for a bit cheaper park over in Seaport Village and walk across. Highly recommended overall -- a great experience!

This is such a good place to eat lunch or dinner in San Diego! Located inside the Manchester Grand Hyatt, it is a lovely spot with outside seating as well as indoor.

Very nice interior but sometimes a little too dark. Service was very good and attentive, our drinks were never empty. The seafood was delicious. The fish and chips were amazing with the fish having the perfectly balanced crust. Crab cakes were so good that we ordered a second helping. Lobster roll was just ok. Nice views of the harbor make this a must visit restaurant.

We celebrated our anniversary at Sally's this week. It was a beautiful San Diego evening on the waterfront. The food was delicious. We had the pozole with the delicious crusty bread, and the fish and chips. Both dishes were quite good. The service was amiable and efficient. We had a lovely evening.

Went to Sally's today and while they have all the seafood options you could want, I'm doing Lent for Easter and needed something vegan. They customized a veggie paella for me and it was absolutely delicious. I also got fries on the side - can confirm, their steak fries are the best I've ever had. The service is what really stood out - superb! The waiter brought me several versions of the menu to help me find something that worked for my diet... so kind and attentive. And the view? Stunning! Definitely a new favorite in San Diego!

We found this place after spending the day at Lego Land. We looked a Seafood Restaurant and this placed popped up. It is located overlooking the marina. It is right next to the Convention Center next to the Marriott and the Hyatt. We were seared right away at 7 pm bug we did make reservations earlier in the day. We started with the Parker Rolls, Oysters on a Half Shell, and the Crab Cakes. The Rolls were slightly crispy and just came out of the oven. The butter they came with was perfect. The Oysters were fresh and not fishy at all. They were perfect with lemon and tabasco sauce. The Crab Cakes with mango salsa were perfect. We all shared The Brazino, The Chilean Sea Bass, and The Paella. The Brazino was light and soft. The Chilean Sea Bass was excellent and came out on a bed of black squid ink linguini. The Paella was a hearty portion. It came out lobster tail. We finished with The Brown Butter Cake with Gelato. It was the prefect ending to a delicious meal. The atmosphere was upscale, the service was prompt, and the food was delicious. We would definitely return again.

This is our go to place when the weather is nice and we want really good food. It's a beautiful place to sit at the tables outside and since it's next door to Seaport Village, the view of the boats docked and the people watching is excellent. We started out with drinks and oysters. The oysters are divine! And so fresh! Next we had their seafood bisque and it's the most delicious anywhere. Ordered the fish and chips, extra crispy and they obliged. Fish and chips were so delicious with just the right crispness. We ended our meal with their Crème Brûlée. It was, of course delicious. And almost the best part was we got our parking validated so free parking at the Hyatt! Made for a great day!

We stopped by while visiting San Diego. I love that it is right near the water and you are able to walk around Seaport Village when done. The inside was nice and clean. We sat in the bar area near the doors since it was a hot day. The breeze coming through felt nice. All the staff was friendly and helpful. We ordered a lobster roll, fish and chips, squash blossoms, and the seafood bisque. I have never had squash blossoms before and they were really good with the sauce. It was a little greasy. Like it was pulled straight from the pan to plate. No draining of the grease. The flavor was good I just wish it wasn't so greasy. The same for fish and chips. When the fish first came out it was greasy. Once the grease drained a little onto the plate it was so crispy and delicious. Again, I just wish they would have drained it a little before plating it. The fires were good. I was a little disappointed by the lobster roll. The bread didn't taste fresh and it was my least favorite. The seafood bisque was delicious and it was easily my favorite item. The flavor was perfect. Even my niece who wouldn't typically try it loved it. I would still recommend this place. With a few bumps with the grease everything except the lobster roll was so good. The batter on the fish was so crispy and stayed crispy. It was perfect seasoning. The fish pieces were big and filling. For my first try on squash blossoms it was really good and would get it again.

While planning a friend trip to San Diego, we knew we wanted at least one seafood spot and we discovered Sally's Fish House and Bar! The location was right by the water, so I would recommend eating inside if you're going during the colder months of San Diego, but really pretty area! The waiter was really nice and even gave us a few recommendations, but I immediately knew I wanted the lobster roll. I thought the taste was good and it came with potato wedges which were perfectly crispy. I would be interested in coming back and trying other menu items!

The food and services have been in a consistent decline year after year. It used to be one of the best places to eat in seaport village and has quickly become the worst. The servers and staff were so kind and pleasant and that has unfortunately changed. Save your sanity and your money and go somewhere else.

On a recent trip to San Diego we decided to come here for lunch as we had our pup with us and I had read about their elaborate dog menu. The restaurant is part of the Grand Hyatt Manchester Hotel but is located outside on the waterfront. This is a beautiful area to walk around with a dog and I can see why the restaurant caters to them. Although the human food I thought was good, there wasn't anything that was super memorable. However the dog menu I felt very different about. The extensiveness and variety of items made our pup so excited! They even timed his snacks / meals so that he wouldn't devour them right away and never was waiting too long for the next item.

Stopped in after business meetings during the week. Glad I did. The meal was just what I needed after a week of bulk foods for conferences. I ordered the fish and chips and a gin and tonic. Both were excellent. The fish is Chilean Sea Bass, fresh, and it is perfectly fried and so golden and crispy. The fish was beautiful and tender, so flavorful. Sauces included the usuals: malt vinegar and tartar. The surprise was a tamarind sauce which was lovely. Steak fries were served with it. The gin and tonic was Empress gin and fever tree tonic along with some cucumber. A nice twist. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

We were a decent sized group that stopped in for drinks. We were accommodated at a comfortable table and had great service. All drinks had at the table were delicious. My husband and I will be back for lunch or dinner.

My hubby and I are in town for his fraternity meeting and staying at the Grand Hyatt. We were looking for a quick bite to eat and stumbled across the place and decided to give it a whirl! The location is great! It's right on the water. We ate at the bar because it was a 30 minute wait. The food was wonderful. The service was wonderful. My husband had the crabcakes and he really enjoyed them. I had the seafood bisque and it was absolutely outstanding. It had little pumpkin seeds on it, and I've never had that before, but it gave a very nice crunch and nice texture, we also had the fish and chips and they were wonderful. I think my husband and I both recommend this place.

Service and ambiance are some of the key points for an excellent meal dining out. Sally's delivers this extremely well. Sally's an amazing dining choice whether for business entertainment or simply impressing your loved ones. Located within a walking distance east of Seaport Village, Sally's has a waterfront patio with excellent views and an indoor dining room surrounded by large glass panels. A stone's throw away from the Hyatt Grand and Marriott Marquis, Sally's is a convenient restaurant for delicious seafood. Fine dining is the obvious theme here. Seafood ingredients are meticulously fresh and excellently prepared. A cut sea bass is seared to perfection furthering the flaky delicate texture. Simpler items such as Fish & Chips or the Lobster Roll equally receive the attention the fresh product deserves. Their menu is heavily adorned with an excellent wine list and encompassing cocktails. Starters, small bites, and entrees are smartly chosen. Whether your dining experience is three-course, or a quick stop the experience here will impressive fine dining.

Nice place in Seaport Village to enjoy drinks and appetizers. The mood was very chill and relaxing. The grilled octopus was delicious. The oysters were fresh and delicious but a bit small. Our bartender was very helpful letting us know the details of the cocktails. Definitely I need to go back to try the entrees

2025 Kentucky Derby Nightmare. We walked in and hardly anyone at restaurant. The bar was mixed with dressed up derby fans and jeans/tshirts. We had tickets from Eventbrite and dressed for the occasion. The manager/concierge didn't care....she stated that tickets don't matter and that we can sit anywhere. When we wanted to sit in the bar area with the 3 small tv's the 15 people who were there had taken up all seats. We informed her we had tickets and we asked if the other people had tickets especially the jeans/T-shirt people.. She ignored that and sat us in a different area with few people and one 26" television. The table was a good 50ft. Away and made viewing difficult. The event continued to be horrific and I don't want to write a book about bad management. Needless to say, this place isn't worth the extreme pricing on food and beverage. We ordered the jalapeño bread appetizer which was miniature bread sliced up in 4 slices. The bread was 1/2 the size of a ritz cracker and as thin as a ritz cracker. The cost of 4 crackers-$10. The appetizer tasted incredibly stale and moldy! It's basically a dive bar and grille with $50 hamburgers and $20 12 oz. coors light beer "specials." Stay away....far away. First time there and last time there!

We passed this restaurant walking the harbor. We were so excited to try it out. Our excitement quickly turned to disappointment when we were served the food. The ceviche was gross. A mixture of warm cream sauce and very little fish. Had to send it back. Both meals were served with poor presentation; no sides, no garish included. Inferior quality of food at a very high price. We do not recommend this restaurant.

The newly remodeled Sally's as an outdoor indoor vibe right on the water food wise we ordered all appetizers, and I was not blown away by anything. In fact, all of the appetizers were extremely rich. There were no classics like shrimp cocktail and their limited entrée dishes had so many things in them it overpowered the actual fish so I ended up not ordering.
