Sea Worthy Fish Bar — Restaurant in Gulfport

‘Twas the night before Valentine’s Day & we were looking for a restaurant that serves delicious food… we called Sea Worthy Fish Bar but could only leave a message. Never heard back, so we decided to try our luck 🍀 and drove there without knowing if any tables were available. 🍀 was on our side as we were greeted and seated in 10 minutes.

Sea Worthy Fish Bar is a wonderful discovery for us!!! They had a special Valentine’s Day special menu including drinks & several menu additions to their regular menu. Wow, so many choices…

We ordered B&M Cheeseburger, Ceviche Flight, Grilled Caesar Salad, Beet & Goat Cheese Salad, Chef’s House Paella, Chef’s Catch Entree (Black Grouper)… this is for 2 adults & a teen. Everything was so well prepared, delicious & so nicely plated. Very yummy, we were blown away by every dish! Even the fries with the burger were delicious.

After having this amazing meal when our server Megan asked about dessert, we decided “to look” maybe out of curiosity but we did order Chocolate Cake & Glazed Donut Bread Pudding Tres Leches Cake… OMG they really were so yummy, we finished everything.

If you are looking for a great dining option, give Sea Worthy Fish Bar a try, if you don’t hear back, see if you are as...

Very disappointed. Have come here many times for dinner but will not be back. It's Sunday night and we had a reservation for 630 pm. Arrived and pick 4 items from their menu we always get here...they said they didn't have any of those dishes that day. That was disappointment #1 but we decided to order other things. After we received the appetizers, another person came out (mind you it's now 730 pm) and told us it was last call. The restaurant states it is open till 930 PM. Ok fine...so basically now you are telling us we can't order any other food even though our entree has not even arrived. Our waitress comes back and said even thought they are trying to close early we could still have another round of drinks. The food was mediocre. I have had some fantastic meals here but today is was overpriced, fish was borderline and it just didn't taste good. Experience Management is one of the most important aspects of a dinner experience. The food can be the best meal of you life if the experience stinks. The way you were treated that day is all a customer remembers. Not sure if it's a new owner or an off night but it was unacceptable considering we spent $250 (without tip). And yes we still tipped the waitress as it wasn't her...

My husband and I love this place and come all the time if we arent at their sister restaurant (brick and mortar). Our most recent experience at sea worthy wasnt the best though. It felt like the ac was broken so we were extremely uncomfortable and hot the entire time. The food came out and was good per usual however there were flies everywhere and all around my food/drink I felt like I couldnt relax because it was all I could focus on. We specifically didnt get dessert after the meal because we couldnt wait to leave. Its not the most comfortable seating here but we come for the food and good service. I do think the place itself could use some minor adjustments and at minimum, working ac during the summer time especially when our bill is at least $100 every time. For a nicer meal, I expect more when it comes to the atmosphere and overall satisfaction.

Aside from my recent experience, I do want to add that you really cant go wrong when it comes to the food. All the apps are great but my favorites have been the ceviche and short rib tostadas. I specifically come for the whole fish w/ the coconut rice. Our fav dessert is the bread pudding. Its to die...
