Sea Grill — Restaurant in Eureka

Amazing spot for a slightly more upscale dining experience. My husband and I went here while stopping in Eureka for the night on a roadtrip from Seattle. We didn’t know what to expect, and we were very pleasantly surprised. We had Samuel as our server and he was working most of the floor by himself. You could tell he knew what he was doing and loved it too. He was very efficient with taking orders and explaining things on the menu (which took me aback at first, but then I realized he is just a well oiled machine haha). My husband and I shared a carafe of the house white, which was probably too much for just the two of us haha, but it was a surprisingly good house white! We got the bay shrimp cocktail and bread to start. The bay shrimp were good, but honestly I’d just get extra bread next time (Samuel said the bread was killer and he was not lying). The house salad was good, but my husband got the clam chowder and said it was awesome! For the main course I got the scallops which were AMAZING with a side of the polenta. I was blown away with how good it was, and the portion was well worth the price! My husband got the crusted Ahi steak which he had nothing but praise for as well. I had a bite and would definitely order that if we came back. It also came with a lovely pickled cucumber salad. He got the twice baked potato as a side which was also very good, but the polenta was the winner for me. The mixed vegetables were a little chewy and undercooked, they seemed a bit like an afterthought, and I just figured that everything else was more important haha. With the amazing portions, and wine, my husband and I were very happy with the cost/meal. We mentioned to Samuel that we were driving from Seattle to SoCal, and he spent like 15 mins letting us know his favorite places to visit on the way between Eureka and San Francisco. What to see, but also what to skip. We took his recommendations and it truly changed the course of our trip, so thank you Samuel! It’s obvious that the staff loves their job and cherishes the customers they serve.

If we are ever in eureka again, this is a must-stop for us. Fantastic food, great portions, and amazing service with a lot...

This weekend we visited Sea Grill for the first time. I was very impressed by the aroma in/outside the restaurant. The smell was very aromatic and we were very excite to try out their menu.

The welcoming staff she was very friendly. The restaurant has different seating options for dining in. The bar, fine and standard dining, but we were not asked where we wanted to be seated. They also have a party/event area for reservation. The female restroom was clean and comfortable.

There is no dress code. I would say formal casual to formal dressing, depending on your event. We were out on a date so we were formally dressed.

The mocktail menu is limited, but you could ask them to make something for you. The complimentary bread and butter were very fresh and taste.

We were planning on having two appetizers, two main course and one dessert. We ended up getting half of what we originally planed because our server was not attentive as much to us and had difficult time answering my questions about the menu.

We order beer battered prawns and it came with salad and baked potato. The salad is crisp and the vegetables were so fresh and we got it with ranch salad dressing. The baked potato was average. The main course was very delicious and cooked properly. The prawns was fresh, large and seasoned well. The side sauté vegetables were salted and nicely cooked. We also ordered the crème brûlée. I think everyone should start their order with this dessert, that's how good it was! I honestly would not mind just coming here for the crème brûlée. It was made with perfection.

We love the over all ambiance of the restaurant, I just wish we got...

The crab fettuccine and the macadamia crusted halibut (the special), house salad, chowder, polenta, dinner rolls and a glass of cabernet wine were all very good. The service was friendly, prompt and attentive. The atmosphere was very nice, clean, and comfortable. We did not need reservations at 8pm on a weeknight, dress was casual and families with children were there. The primary negative point is that my wine glass had two lipstick lip prints on the glass when it was served to me. But, the waitress was extremely apologetic and immediately replaced my glass of wine. No further offer of recompense was made or requested. The total cost was $111, plus tip for the two of us. We took leftovers, but the leftover container was flimsy recycled paper product and the sauces from our food soaked through fairly quickly, so not good when traveling and needing to store in a cooler, which we are. Parking was street parking and there was a homeless girl wrapped in a blanket huddled in the doorway of a business across the street from the restaurant, right beside where we parked, so that was a little sketchy. I'm giving them a 4, because overall, the experience was a good one with only a couple of minor improvements needed. I would eat here again and recommend it to family...
