| - "Yay! I'm a fan" ... of their yellowtail....
They have THE BEST yellowtail EVER!
I came here for my birthday recently because they had an employee birthday special thing going on. Made my reservation a week in advanced. When we arrived, they set up our table and sat us right away (me and my BF). They had a handwritten birthday card for me (aww!).
The restaurant is smaller than I imagined, but it was nice. The tables are set up to accommodate large parties and then they had some pretty small tables. Our table was definitely too small for us... oh well.
We started off ordering 2 different appetizers. The raw and marinated sampler. (3 items) and the bbq one (or something like that with the lamb skewers). And of the 6 items, the yellowtail was definitely the best! The other raw items were good as well, the lamb was a bit dry. And the other bbq items weren't great.
I LOVED the bread and different spreads for it. I thought it tasted and even smelled amazing... but my bf said it smelled like Crisco. But whatever, I liked it. There was like hummus and 2 other choices to go with the bread.
For the main course, I ordered paella. Which was the server's favorite and they said it was one of the most popular items. It had rabbit and quail and stuff in it. Also sausage, mussels, clams, and other stuff. I thought it was okay, not that great. Maybe I am just not a fan of paella. the BF ordered fish, which was cooked very well.
For dessert, the chocolate cake. Which was also decorated for my birthday. The little touches really make a difference to me. So even though the main course wasn't the best, I had a great time here. Everything else was great. And the service was good too.
The main reason I actually wanted to dine at SeaBlue was for their lobster corn dogs. Which we didn't end up getting... bummer. But that is 1/2 price for their happy hour (weekdays 5p-7p) along with $1 oysters and $1 shrimps. So I'll probably go back soon for HH and just hang out at the bar.
From my experience, I would give this place 3 stars. But the yellowtail bumps it to 4 stars :)
