Nice interiors, but best outdoor vista's of the beach and ocean are during daylight hours.

My sister, my nephew, and I visited Sea Watch On the Ocean on Sunday, April 21st. We made a 12pm reservation, and we were seated immediately upon arriving.I'm horrible with names and don't remember our waiters name. However, I wish I remembered because he was amazing. He was quite attentive, checking in with us very often (even after we finished our meal and paid the bill, he continued to check on us to see if we needed anything)My nephew and I both ordered clam chowder to start, and my sister, artichoke dip. The clam chowder wasn't the best I've had, but was still pretty good. My nephew ordered spaghetti, which came with angel hair pasta and carrots. My sister ordered the crabcake with a side of broccoli, and I the Mahi Mahi with the vegetable medely (carrots, broccoli, and green beans).The Mahi Mahi could have used some more seasoning but was cooked to perfection (temperature wise). The vegetable medely was delicious and cooked perfectly. My only complaint would have been the portion size on the vegetables. I counted exactly 3 string beans in the vegetable medely LoL.We all enjoyed our meal along with the view. The scenery is exactly as depicted online. It was a beautiful day.Parking: The parking lot is a fairly decent size and is free. They also offer valet. I also noticed a ramp, which is convenient for wheelchair bound patrons or parents in tow with small children in strollers.

I have been here over 30 years ago and just returned in April 2024. This place is still one of the best restaurants in the area. Beach front location with an elevated view. The photo is from our dinner table. The service and food are both outstanding. I plan on visiting many more time now that I am retired.

We arrived at7 pm Monday evening without a reservation, I was told the wait would be about 15 minutes for a table for 2. We were told we could go upstairs for a drink while we waited. After an hour I came down to the front desk and was told it would be soon.. After another half hour we went down saw lots of open tables as the place would be closing soon. The gal said she came up to get us but that was a lie, she forgot. The restaurant manager was there, only said he was sorry with a smirk. No offer for even a desert nothing. He said he could seat us now. I was upset I said we are leaving. Just terrible m, no service, a total waste of out time.

A group of friends made reservation to have lunch at this restaurant and go to the beach of the restaurant. When we parked at the parking lot, the guy in the valet YELLED at us to leave and park at a public parking if we were going to the beach. Said the parking is private only for the eating at the restaurant. This old man didn't have the decency to ask first if we were going to the restaurant. When we went to talk to the manager, told him we talked to a woman on the phone to make a reservation and asked her if we could go to the beach after lunch and said yes. That's the main reason we chose this restaurant, because wanted to have lunch there and access to the beach afterwards. This manager was rude and answered "she was wrong". We had to beg to let us park at their parking lot hours after eating at their restaurant to stay at the beach. Now, when we had lunch at this area in second floor, the waitress wasn't kind at all and didn't give us good service. The food was OK but not great. The only good thing about this place are the gorgeous ocean views and that's it Overall, NEVER COMING BACK.

My husband and I got married here and then celebrated a brunch with our family the next day. We can’t say enough great things about our experience from planning everything to the event itself. Cindy, Jenn, Layla, and Sean were FABULOUS. I highly highly recommend any event or just enjoying a beautiful lunch/dinner here. Thank you again Sea Watch and Cindy!!!
One of the old Florida style restaurants still around. Absolutely love this place. The food was excellent and service was great. Highly recommend a visit
It was a night like no other! Soon as we walked in there were smiling faces and what I believe was the manager/owner (I’m not sure) was also there to greet guests which felt really good. I knew right then & there we stepped into the right place. Visiting from DC on our 14 day Anniversary adventure the atmosphere felt great! We were then seated and had the most beautiful view of Ft. Lauderdale Beach! Weather was perfect and the service was everything! We were treated like royalty! There’s not many places where you see the manager/owner as involved with things as I saw yesterday! Loved the happy hour drinks ? and the Signature Margaritas was very signature. It was delicious and my husband left feeling jovial as the drinks were actually “hitting” meaning yes there’s alcohol ? Food was great. And I’ve had some of the best key lime pie I’ve ever tasted. That whip cream blended so well! Thanks again for a good time!
