My boyfriend and I went to Seasalt & Ceviche Bar on a Friday night. We made a last minute reservation and the only seats they had left was at the bar which was fine with us. However when we got there it was pretty empty and only started to fill up halfway through our dinner. I started the night with the Seasalt Ceviche Caesar. On top of the Caesar was shrimp, grilled octopus and cucumber. I was honestly a bit disappointed with my Caesar because the actual cocktail was so watered down and there was way too much ice. The seafood on top was fine though. We shared the Asian style salmon tartare with shrimp chips. I just realized that they were shrimp chips! thought they were just regular chips! Lol They had some on both sides of the salmon but the texture was different. On one side the chips were harder and thicker and on the other side they were thin. The salmon tartare was delicious and fresh. Then we shared the Portland style lobster rolls with house cut fries. It was so good! They really put a lot of lobster in the rolls and the fries were crunchy and had the right amount of salt. I made sure to finish all the fries on the plate. We also shared the grilled 16oz ribeye steak with shoe string potatoes. At first I thought they were onions. The steak was medium rare some parts on top it was a bit black but inside was perfectly red and the meat tasted very good. You could really taste the steak spice and it was a bit spicy. There was a lot of fat on the steak which I loved. We were struggling a bit to finish the plate but I managed to finish it. We didn't get dessert.
The resto seemed to be happening. I liked the vibe. It's a good place to take a date or go with a group of friends after work. There was a lot of people standing at the bar. The music wasn't really my style - dare I say house music ? but I assume it would get better later on in the night. I recommend this restaurant. I went a long time ago when it was Communion and the place has really changed since.
