Do you need a reservation

Sea Grill does not take reservations (except New Years Eve), but if you have a large group they would appreciate if you call in advance and let them know so they can *try* to accommodate you.

Can I order to go?

One of the best restaurants in the shore area. Expect to wait or go late. The food is consistently good. Take out is not usual but can be accommodated

Does the Sea Grille take reservations?

YES

Do you take reservations?

They WILL *take* reservations, for large groups, so that your table(s) can be prepared. However, like the Seinfeld episode, do they *keep* the reservation? The closer to July 4 it is, the slimmer your chances. TIP: dine early, get inside by 6 pm, any time of the year, and you can almost pick your table. EXCEPTION: New Year's Eve, (been several times, great fun), they take and honor reservations.

Worst experience ever in a restaurant. Waitresses and waiters standing around talking or sitting at tables talking to people and not taking care of other tables. Had to wave them down to get some service. The chef is excellent and the tuna special was excellent, however I find their prices outrageous for what you get and the salad bar pedestrian and unappetizing. Can guarantee, that unless things change, I will not be returning.

I wouldn't say this place is awful. The food is very good, I had the crab cakes and BF had the steak...all very tasty, it's WAY over priced for having to go place your order basically straight to the cooks and figuring out what you want from a menu chalkboard that you have to go look at. I don't know I would expect as least menus and our waiter taking our orders for the price you pay?!

I ended up going there by mistake and found a place that quickly made it to the top of my list for shore dining. Atmosphere, service, & food were all top notch. Prices were high end, but appropriate for a fantastic dining experience. They have a very nice wine list, as well as a full service bar. The dress code is very casual, they're open year round, and they accept credit cards. I can't wait to go there again.

Food is wonderful. My family and I have been going for years and have never had a complaint. Yes it is a bit overpriced, but we are always happy with our meals.

The Sea Grill is a landmark destination for anyone who knows the area. You order your food directly with the chef, so it's a very cool process and you can clarify if you have certain preferences. If you don't think that's a cool feature in a restaurant then you should stick to the basics or better yet stay at home :-) Headed back down very soon, can't wait! My favorite is the crab topped filet with jalepenos...and a Ketel One on the rocks - Cheers!

I always come here when I go to the beach. Very expensive. Interesting ordering system, where you go up to the kitchen window and tell the cook what you want. Entrees don't really include sides. Salad bar is out of this world. Cool atmosphere.

This place is always solid for us. Great food and drinks. It's a little bit overpriced but it is Avalon. We've always had friendly service. Love the salad bar and entrees always good. Had a dry baked potato once and another side that wasn't great. But overall it's a great place to get a good meal any time of the year.

Went in to inquire about a late dinner, and was greeted by an upset host that clearly did not want us to stay and asked us to “order immediately”....when we asked for a menu, she abruptly pointed at the chalk board where the food options were displayed. That was enough to make us understand we were not welcome.

Most unique restaurant on the Island. You can make your own salad from a great selection of vegetables. You also order your entrée withthe chef and let him know exactly how you would like your steak, chicken or seafood cooked. Your dinner is cooked exactly the way you wanted!Always a good choice to eat at the Sea Grill!

Pretty expensive place to get a steak, and baked potatoe. Kids menu three grilled shrimp and French fries, 21.95. The wait staff was great and interesting to order your food yourself at the kitchen window. To me a little overpriced, but what do your expect in mid August four blocks from the beach. I would go back..

So the format is very different from any restaurant I've ever been to. However the steak (though expensive) rivaled some of the best steak houses I've ever been to. Incredible food. Will definitely come back. Highly recommend to anyone who loves steak.

This spot in the heart of Avalon is a must for a night out. The waiter only had to mention "Fire On the Mountain" and I was sold. This was probably the best, if not tied for first place, Filet Oscar I've had. I liked that ordering was a bit different than normal as well and you have the chance to give your order directly to the chef. I definitely recommend going here.
