Seamark Seafood & Cocktails

Disheartening Experience Despite Previous Positive Visits I regret to share that our recent experience at this restaurant was both disappointing and disheartening, especially as we were celebrating a special occasion and had previously enjoyed multiple pleasant visits. We arrived for our 8:15 PM reservation at 8:09 PM. Despite the restaurant being relatively empty, we were asked to wait until exactly 8:15 PM to be seated—an unnecessarily rigid approach that set an unwelcoming tone. Once seated, we ordered drinks and appetizers. Unfortunately, the sodas came in small glass bottles and were served at room temperature. We requested additional ice, but that took a while to arrive. From the beginning, our server was largely inattentive and disengaged. We noticed she checked in frequently with surrounding tables, while our own was overlooked for extended periods. Based on this contrast in attentiveness, we couldn’t help but feel that we were being treated differently. This left us feeling uncomfortable and disappointed. When we asked for a description of a particular dish, the only response we received was, “It’s cold,” with no further explanation. After finally placing our entrée orders, we waited over 45 minutes with no follow-up. We had to flag down our server to cancel the entrées and request the check for the items we had already received. At that point, the manager approached us and stated the entrées had “just come out,” yet the food told a different story. The scallop dish was room temperature, and the fries that came with the lobster rolls were cold. Rather than apologize meaningfully or offer a resolution, the manager’s response was curt and dismissive. He said he could pack the food to go and added, “You can take them or not.” The interaction lacked professionalism and courtesy. To make matters more awkward, the manager then gave my friend a pat on the back and said “sorry,” which felt uncomfortable and insincere rather than empathetic or appropriate. We were told that a dessert would be sent out as a gesture of goodwill, but it never arrived before we decided to leave. Ironically, the best part of the meal was the focaccia bread at the beginning—fresh and well-prepared—though the accompanying hummus was oddly hard and unappetizing. Overall, this experience was far below the standard we had come to expect from this establishment. Between the poor service, cold food, and the feeling of being treated differently, it was an upsetting way to spend a special evening. I sincerely hope the management takes this feedback to heart and addresses these issues to ensure a more inclusive and respectful environment for all guests.

This restaurant is perfect for dinner date or celebration dinner. We have been to this place for at least 3 times now, and everyone had a great time. Their place has great food and great vibes. Check out their speakeasy bar in the back room too, which is very fancy. With the free garage packing and try some luck at the casino after dinner, this is one great place for hanging out on Friday and Saturday nights.

Booking this restaurant, we didn't know that we were getting into a real casino. It was amazing to see all these machines and playing people. The restaurant itself is great, awesome food, good selection of wine and beers classy interior with a lot of wood and marble.

Went there during restaurant week and had the fixed menu. I had the butternut soup that was delicious with a nice kick from the chili oil. The Hake was okay, not my favorite. The bean bed was delicious but the fish itself lacked flavor and seasoning. For dessert I had the olive oil cake which was amazing (I forgot to take a picture) it came with berry compote and vanilla whipped cream. My friend got the scallops entree which was also delicious.

Seamark Seafood at Encore is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, setting the tone for an incredible dining experience. The seafood is as fresh as it gets—perfectly cooked, beautifully plated, and bursting with flavor. Every dish we tried was a hit, especially the spicy crab fried rice. But the real surprise? Their espresso martinis. Hands down the best I’ve ever had—smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. It’s the kind of cocktail you order “just one” of… and then immediately want another. The service was attentive and friendly without being overbearing, and the entire experience felt relaxed yet refined. Whether you're celebrating something special or just want an amazing meal, Seamark Seafood at Encore is a must-visit.

Tried this restaurant a month ago on a date. Loved the service, ambiance and food. We didn't realized that they were celebrating their 1 yr anniversary so they had some specials. We surprisingly won a $100 voucher since we ordered oysters. We planned to use this for another date night since we enjoyed our experience. I decided to celebrate one of my girlfriend's bday this month. We were a party of five and even asked to be moved to a bigger table as we know we typically order a lot. This time, they were running $1 oyster. We've placed our orders-drinks, apps and entrees. We were seated in the dining area. Niraj, the server was amazing. Momentarily, a white male manager approached us aggressively and condescendingly. His approach and comments were so unprofessional as if he's scolding a group of ladies who are unable to pay and trying to scam them. We didn't know that the $1 osyster special was only available at the lounge area. He exclaimed that this time he will allow but if we try again next week he will not. He stressed this multiple times. I would have walked away at that point but we didn't want to ruin our friends bday celebration. I called to ask for this managers name. With the description I provided, I was informed he's the Asst General Manager named Christian. He ruined our experience. I don't even think I'll ever come back again so that $100 voucher we won will go to waste. I wish I had it with me this visit so I could have just used it already.

Upscale seafood restaurant inside of Encore Casino. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Seafood tower is mid - you can skip it. Came with cocktail shrimps, oysters, bunch of clams, and 4 tins of mixed seafood for $255. One of the seafood tin is crab meat and every bite had a bit of cartilage. The other tin cans weren’t amazing as well. Not worth the price point. I ordered mushroom gnocchi for entree and it was tasty. The buttery herb and nutty taste of the mushrooms paired very well with the soft gnocchi.

We had the scallops and baked Haddock both of which were beautiful in presentation. The white sauce with the Haddock was amazing in texture, taste, consistency. My wife added some to her dish as well. Scallops were seared and delicious. Luxe Cosmo and margaritas were good and priced fairly. Service was quick, friendly. Overall a great experience.

Absolutely love this place!!! The food is delicious, the service is impeccable, the ambiance is stellar and the hidden jem speakeasy inside the restaurant is out of this world!!!!

Ambiance is nice right when you walk in. Service was great but unfortunately became slow during dessert and the restaurant had plenty of empty tables. For groups 9 or more if the restaurant is busy, I was informed during reservations, there is a family style menu for $85 pp for 3 shared apps, 2 shared entrees and I believe 2 sides to share also. But when we arrived, I'm glad we weren't stuck to the family style menu even though we came with a group of 10 because I'd much rather order what I want to eat than to agree on what to eat with a large group. Food was good but nothing to be amazed about it. Thought it was mediocre. Seafood stew: 4/5 good, portion was good also but a bit mild for my preference. I tried a bite of my friends ribeye and that was delicious and cooked perfectly!

First time trying Seamark with some friends and was a great experience. Drinks were excellent and strong. Expect to pay more as this place is inside the Encore casino. I already had dinner previously so only had room for the lobster bisque. It had very intense shellfish broth flavor which I really liked. The soup itself was actually filling to me and hit the spot. The little chunks of lobster added to the flavor and the temperature was just the right. The energy of place was definitely on the high end as it was dinner time on a Friday night. Service was pretty good as the staff was checking in on us often and made sure we had water topped off.

This review is specifically about the bar and the speakeasy called old wives tale. Ariana was our bartender at the main bar and she created one of the finest tasting strawberry lemon cello custom martinis I have ever had. She is wonderful and you definitely want to see this person. In the back the speakeasy called old wives tale is amazing. And I mean that because it's not just this random spot in the back, but you have to ask to be put on the list, and then they go to a wall in the back of the restaurant, which suddenly slides open, and you are in this nautically themed old bar with a custom menu and your own bartender and everything is amazing. Brianna was in the speakeasy and she was wonderful. I can't speak to the food, but I can't say that the prices at the whole establishment on the very high side. $25 for an old-fashioned is pushing the limits even in the city. But I think that standard for the casino everything is up price a little bit because... Casinos are designed to take your money :-) Other than that, I can say this is a wonderful place to visit, especially if you find yourself at encore, and you could conceivably just go here on a date to the speakeasy and be happy. Five stars for the drink program and for the bartenders and the hosts.

The food was OK but the service is what was impeccable. My waitresses name was Marisa and she made the whole experience perfect. We will return and hopefully she will be there when we do Thanks

I went in the other day I got. Spicy spaghetti and arugula salad it was amazing. My server Marisa P was knowledgeable of the menu very friendly, and very prompt service with a smile and great conversation. I felt very relaxed and had a great time I would highly recommend this restaurant And I'll definitely be going back very soon also I loved the restaurant layout and feel of it.

Ari our was the balls. Drinks amaze ballls! Totes coming here every single weekend! The drinks were bomb.com

I was worried after reading the reviews but honestly this place is decent. Nothing to write home about but the food was alright. Extremely expensive though. I guess if you're in the casino you might as well. We got the salmon, oysters, burger, scallops and lobster bisque. The bisque was fine, kind of tasted like the pre-made mixes you get at the store. The oysters were very good and fresh. The salmon was good but needed a touch of freshness to cut through the fat. I asked for hot sauce but that never came. The scallops were enjoyed by everyone.

Marisa was awesome! She gave us a lot of recommendations of things to do while visiting. We both had the Lobster Frites which was the special for National Lobster Day. Would definitely return.

Beautiful decor and great seats overlooking the garden. That's where the compliments end. We had to send the shrimp cocktail back because it tasted worse than the frozen shrimp you get from market basket...they took it off our bill since we only had one each. Apparently, there were no better shrimp to send us. The manager did come over to apologize. We were brought two glasses of champagne, one that was clearly flat and one that obviously had been poured from a new bottle; the server didn't agree with me when I said one was flat (he was otherwise great, but there was an obvious, visible difference between them)...when I tasted it and insisted it was bad he brought a second glass of BUBBLY. My dates scallops were yummy but my king salmon was slightly undercooked in the center. ( flavors were delicious though). At that point we didn't want to complain again, so I just ate around it... My date really wanted to try the strawberry shortcake but we decided to punt on the meal at this point...the place is gorgeous but i probably will not go back

Food: 3.5/5 Service: 5/5 I come to Encore frequently for dinner and was excited to have a new restaurant open up. For appetizers, we ordered: oysters, clams casino, lobster bisque, & clam chowder. For dinner, we ordered: seafood stew, lobster roll, fish & chips, seafood fra diavolo, burger, & chicken milanese. The food took long to come out and when it did, nothing was hot, which was a huge disappointment. Everything tasted decent, but nothing was amazing/stood out. The clam chowder, lobster roll, seafood stew and fish & chips tasted the best, but the roll didn't have enough lobster. The fra diavolo and lobster bisque lacked depth of flavor. The burger was unappetizing, not sure how you can mess up a burger. The fry on the chicken milanese could have been better. The French fries tasted better than some of the entrees. Our server was Bogdan. He was amazing and provided excellent service to us, which made our whole experience enjoyable despite the food being whatever. His service was significantly better than Rare/Fratelli's. The assistant servers were also so friendly and helpful and refilled our waters consistently every couple minutes.

We had a wonderful dinner. Turned out to be the best meal of our 10 day New England vacation. Even though it is a seafood restaurant, we had a perfectly prepared filet mignon. The potato purée and green beans were just right as well. Topped it off with crème brûlée. Marissa was very attentive and we enjoyed chatting with her. Lovely atmosphere as well. Looking forward to a return trip in the future.

Oh I'm going to say this place seems to put the old school way of dining & prior to cellphones/smartphones/sports tv etc and the intimate experience of dining & their menu yes it's got seafood majority but there's stuff if you're not interested. My case I selected a multi meats hamburger with crispy onions & fries and also simple water (photos will accompany). Place itself has music which is mellow, well stocked bar with definite high end spirits and a screen with a soft bit which more is what they trying to bring back to dining & place is well designed & even the tables, chairs, bar, restroom etc. Now I will let you come and call.

The food was ok.We had scallops and lobster rolls.. mediocre at best...maybe an off night for the kitchen..my service was great. we had Marisa and she made sure we left smiling. we will come back and request her she should be a comedian she's so funny we spend way too much time there laughing with her and we almost missed our movie. 10/10 for Marisa

Let me start by saying the staff was wonderful. Very attentive, kind, and professional. The food is where this restaurant needs major improvements. For the price (and location being in New England), we expected fresh and A+ seafood. This was not the case however. While the tower was fairly decent, the swordfish was pretty flavorless. The fish and chips were interesting in that the fish was prepared Japanese style as far as the frying method, however the coleslaw was terrible. It had truffle, which I usually love, however the combination of it was the strong vinegar was overpowering and very unpleasant. Everything was overall mediocre. The ambiance was fine - comfortable seating and overall ok. I would personally choose a different restaurant on premise for seafood, as this felt more like Red Lobster's older sister who studied abroad and thinks she's fancy now.

Food was a 10/10! Our waitress, Pauline, was so kind to us, and the manager, Matthew, was the best! I cannot recommend this place enough.

Atmosphere was great and the staff were very attentive and responsive. The mussels were excellent. However, we were disappointed in our entrées. The salmon was quite bland, and the fish and chips had nice breading but was too salty. The crab fried rice was highlighted as one of their specialties. While it was tasty and seasoned nicely, the rice was soggy and not crispy at all- I suspect it was not actually pan fried.

The seafood is very fresh. The favorite is the sea scallops. Other dishes is just fine. Seafood tower is fresh. But no king crab legs . The restaurant is clean and new. The food is ok. I am happy to have dinner with my friend and family.

The reservations are made online via seven rooms. I tried to modify the reservation online and was unable so I called and they were very accommodating. I was surprised to see that there were plenty of open tables. We had wine and fun tipsy barbie drinks to start. Service and table clearing was attentive. We had mussels and shrimp to start followed by scallops and king salmon. The food was good. Since they are in Boston, I was a bit disappointed in the seafood selection on the menu, expected a fresh fish of the day or a dover sole or a branzino or a trout or a halibut. The menu had a fish and chips (cod), a swordfish, the scallops, the salmon, which was fine, but kind of boring. It is a nice new option for the casino, which has italian, asian, etc.

Best dining experience at Encore Boston so far. Many of the dishes were well-composed: balanced, colorful, light and tasteful. For appetizers, we had Oysters, Clams, Ceviche, Lump Crab, Shrimp Cocktail, Crab Cake, Shrimp Tempura, Mussels, Fried Calamari. The Mussels sat in a broth that really stood out and might be my favorite Mussels in the Boston area. Presentation and size of the Raw Bar selections were great. IMO, the Shrimp Tempura was good, but is much closer to "Popcorn Shrimp" than tempura. Our main courses were Lobster Spaghetti and Seared Scallops. The Scallops were seared well and paired well with the truffle, but my favorite was the Lobster Spaghetti. Spaghetti is thin, the sauce is light, and the lobster portion was generous. The CDC, Chef Jose was accommodating to our dietary needs and made great recommendations. I'll be coming back.

This is a new place in Encore Boston and it's beautifully decorated! The hosts and hostesses were very professional and kind. The drinks are on a heavy side and I loved it!! The food was amazing, we really enjoyed everything that we ordered and the desserts were also very good. It's new so the kitchen is on a slow side but it's all worth the wait. Definitely will come back again soon

My husband thought it would be a nice suprise to take me overnight to Encore on the 4th (yes we could watch the fireworks from our room!!). We have tried every spot at the hotel except for Seamark, last night we fixed that. We had a lovely dinner. The food was excellent. I had the stew and my husband had a steak and both was just perfect. What really made the dinner was the excellent service. If you make a reservation ask for Edison to be your server for the night. He was right on top of everything. I got the impression that he has far more experience with fine dining than some of the other staff and was excellent in making sure the evening went off perfectly. I can't wait to go back and try a few of the other dishes on the menu!!

Beautiful spot had the swordfish the other night fresh and juicy cooked to perfection. Marissa was charming and knowledgeable server very attentive. No winnings in the Casino but we still had so much fun drinks and dinner made for an amazing night out. We will definitely be back. - Thank you

We had a night out at Encore and decided to try out this upscale restaurant. The decor, ambiance, front of the house staff all excellent. My wife had a nice cocktail. We ordered the seafood tower ($195) to split. The tower came over with two people delivering it. It was underwhelming as it had 2 very small sauces - cocktail with no horseradish and a sauce for the oysters. No bread, cracker, or toast tips. Whoever put this tower together had no plan for how to eat it besides eat the seafood plain. We had to ask for more cocktail sauce and drawn butter for the lobster, they brought out cold butter. Absolutely a big disappointment!

Five Star food, service and experience. Must visit. They are open late and everything is clean and first class.

Based upon reviews I feel much better about not returning to this establishment. The decor and service are top notch. It's disappointing that the food is bArely edible and extremely overpriced. Ceasar and Lobster salad rolls are loaded with a keg of salt. Much better dining choices within the Boston area to choose from for the money!

Went here for a treat as a present to my parents. None of us had ever been. The service was good but the amount of money we spent vs the quality food/drink it was terrible. Not worth the price tag to go here. Would rather go into Boston and go to Ruth Chris, Capital Grill. Price would be cut in half and the food quality would be 100x better

I came into Seamark with my husband Craig on Saturday night and I was met with the GREATEST customer service from our waitress Marisa! Everything was delicious and Marisa was so so kind and personable! It was like catching up with an old friend! The restaurant had great vibes! I would recommend Seamark to everyone! Definitely go and request Marisa! I cannot wait to return!

The food was amazing oysters to die for! Clam Chowder out of this world. Clams casino was Awesome! Also Sarah great service! 5 star not sure the managers name but he was above and beyond checking to see if I had any comp dollars. Vanessa the hostess polite and sat us immediately. The buser or back waiter great job like clock work! Great job I will absolutely be back again. Thank you!

The delicious food, impeccable service, and charming ambiance made for a memorable experience. I was impressed by the staffs commitment to going the extra mile. The Manager, Michael, was very attentive and provided excellent recommendations, which did not disappoint. The cosmo was delicious and made with fresh cranberry. The chicken milanese was amazing, and I can see why the schlowburger was voted best of Boston 2024. Our waitress, Paulina, was very friendly and efficient. I highly recommend checking out Seamark. We will definitely return.

Food and drinks were great, but service was even better! Marisa was our server and she was absolutely fantastic!!

Very nice ambience. Average decent service. Average decent food. Average decent drink. Really tiny portion. Extremely overpriced.

This new location inside Encore Boston Harbor is a beautifully designed space. That is the best part. The food was good, but not great; in fact it was average. The service, however, was poor. While our server was friendly, his knowledge of the menu was lacking.

Such a cute spot!! Loved the ambiance and vibe!! Food was amazing and service was great! We'll be back for sure!

Let me start by saying Lindsay was an awesome bartender and steered us in the right direction when it came to food and drinks. Also Marisa the server was very helpful and engaging throughout our visit. We got the burger which was phenomenal with the horseradish sauce, and the crab fried rice would definitely order both again. The service was top notch and prices were very reasonable, we will comeback!!!

Happy to see a new place in that spot. decor is nice, service was good. Food was super average. Too bad for such a good location.

Amazing experience!! Food is unbelievable!!! And stuff members are very nice attentive! Highly recommended!

Crazy expensive but the food was awesome and the bartender was awesome. Drinks were some of the best I have had in Boston.

As mentioned in other reviews, I have some dietary concerns. I cannot express how well this restaurant did in making this a good experience. Our waiter, Niraj was very helpful with the menu (and also had a great personality). And more than that, chef David came out from the kitchen and talked through all of the options on the menu with me. He even made a custom dish for me. That was absolutely delicious.They completely went above and beyond. Additionally, Leroy, the manager, also stopped over several times to make sure that we were doing OK. My only complaint, which is super nitpicky is that the way too loud, and the air conditioning too high. But, that comes with the casino.

Food was fantastic, and the service was excellent from the host to our server eduardo!

Food was excellent, Sarah the waitress was wonderful & very attentive. The ambiance was so nice. Loved the sea, nautical theme. Definitely would come back and recommend.

Great food and service! Our server Marissa was very hospitable and made sure my husbands allergies were accommodated.

The lobster tostada was highly recommended by our server, Marissa and it did not disappoint! We'll be back for that alone! We continued to get the "new style" fish and chips which crushed it with tempura style haddock and an amazing remoulade (play on a fancy tartar sauce). Marissa was kind, informative and joyful! We will be back!

The restaurant Seamark boasts a charming atmosphere with dreamy and delightful oceanic vibes. The establishment strikes a perfect balance between elegance and relaxation, making it an ideal location for any occasion. Although the waiter was cordial, the service was regrettably prolonged, and I had to wait for utensils on a couple of occasions, leading to a suboptimal dining experience as the food became cold. My meal began with a pleasing drink followed by a Lobster tostada appetizer, which unfortunately had a chewy corn tortilla, and I had hoped for a crisp texture. Furthermore, the lobster was slightly dry, although still palatable. The main dish was a scallop entree, which proved to be the highlight of the evening, but once again, utensils were delayed for approximately five minutes. The dessert was delicious and satisfying. Following the meal, I requested to speak with the manager, Ricardo, but it was unfortunate that he did not offer an apology or satisfactory resolution, which was unexpected given the newness of the establishment. It is critical for Seamarks to enhance its customer service, as the prolonged service and frequent errors detracted from the overall experience. I hope to revisit the restaurant and have a more pleasant dining experience in the future.

I was so disappointed with my meal tonight. I had the clams casino and shrimp tempura. Both were super dry and lacked flavor. The service (Sarah) was good, but the experience overall was super disappointing.

Sat at the bar and our bartenders were fantastic! Super friendly and helpful! Ari and Lindsey are the reason we will be back!

After a few day of college visits, a Red Sox Game, as well as a lovely outing to nearby Hampton Beach, Seamark was a great way to end our fun, but action filled 4 day Boston visit. The highlights were the welcoming friendly hostesses accommodating us near closing as well as our remarkable server Marisa. She was extremely personable, provided great service, and truly seemed to care about her guests. The lemon drop I ordered was on point, our food exceeded the expectations we had coming in. With the inviting coastal and relaxing ambiance, to the friendly warm competent staff, as well asbartender, and kitchen being on point, I'd recommend visiting and ask for Marisa. We'd certainly come back again!

Excellent new restaurant at Encore Boston Harbor. I had a wonderful dining experience. The ambiance was sophisticated and chic. All of the menu items my table shared were fresh and delicious. I cannot wait to visit again and try cocktails at the Old Wives Tail Speakeasy and Brunch at Seamark

I'm completely blown away by the experience I had at Seamark! I had the server Marisa and thoroughly appreciated her positive attitude and her amazing service! Marisa was genuinely kind and is great at what she does, I've never had better service! The food was absolutely delicious my husband Nick and I shared the lobster tostadas to start and they were phenomenal! I got the fish and chips as my entree and it was the most delicious fish! So fresh! My husband enjoyed the grilled swordfish and he ate the whole plate! The portions were perfect and the restaurant had the best aura! Can't wait to come back, thank you Marisa for an unforgettable night!
