   I wish I could give zero stars. Booked a reservation for Mothers Day on open table and super excited about the menu only to find a pre fixed menu of basically the wedding food from the night before. I was visibly upset and the server tried to help with the menu but was only allowed to order from raw bar and a salad. Food was horrible. Service was just ok. Also who charges $30/child for Mac and cheese and a plate of chicken fingers????? This wasn’t a wedding- it’s a simple dinner and should’ve cost less than half of that! I’ve also never seen any restaurant automatically charge gratuity unless it’s a group of 6 or more. Absolute waste of your time and money. Thank you for a horrible Mother’s Day dinner.

   It was just OK. Food, service...just OK. Food was bland, and they were out of some things that they specifically advertise as having only on Friday and Saturday nights (we went on a Saturday). Bartender was great, host had a little bit of an attitude. None of the three of us was impressed. We won't be going back...there are better places around for the money.

   Mediocre catering hall style food. Good server made our visit enjoyable. Food was priced reasonably but the drinks were too expensive.

   We went on A Saturday night. The bar was terrific. They have a pianist playing old Sinatra tunes. It is worth it to arrive early just to listen to the music. The decor is stunning and the tables far apart. The food wasm tasty and portions large.

   The redecoration is terrific. This could be a wonderful supper club in addition to the wedding, etc venue. However, something is missing. Service needs to be trained. Bread arrived after the meal was served; the meal took approximately 30 minutes to arrive so there was a long period that would have benefited from the hot bread. Only three tables were occupied so there was no reason that service was not precise. The same (Doolan's) chef is in charge of the kitchen but prices are much higher for the items. With a little more work, this could be a go to place for the locals. Maybe we'll return in a few months. In the meantime, there is Asbury Park.

    Wonderful to see upscale dining at the shore. We feasted on beef wellington & scallops which were sweet & delicious. Our server Chelsea was outstanding. As a new establishment, there are some kinks to be worked out, especially the hiring of adequate staff. It could be noisy when the dining room is crowded and unfortunately the new owners' renovation has nothing in place to absorb sound. We are looking forward to returning and making The Seacrest our go to place.

    Our table for two was wedged between one large round table of six and a table of two on the others side. There was barely any room between the two tables. The servers kept coming in between both tables for service and kept bumping into our table and chairs. The place was very crowded and open. This caused it to be extremely loud resulting in everyone trying to talk over everyone else. We couldn’t have a normal conversation with each other. It was a shouting match. My girlfriend ordered a cosmo and the drink she was served was not a cosmo. It was cherry juice and cranberry mixed with a cherry on the bottom and had no alcohol. The waitress apologized and had a different bartender make it. It took a half hour before she got the replacement. The next one looked much better but was basically cosmo mix that you buy in the supermarket with no alcohol. We ordered the fried calamari appetizer which was very good. This took 45 minutes to come out. Our waitress for the night was nowhere to be found. She was catering to large tables. We had 7:30 reservations and placed our order within 15 minutes. It was 9pm and we still didn’t get our entrees. Our waitress wasn’t around. I had to get someone else to check on it. They completely forgot about it. The two tables next to us ordered after us and got their food before us. It was an extremely frustrating experience. We were told that the owner had a private party for 25 of his friends which threw everything off. We saw a couple other people getting aggravated with the situation there as well. Update 4/10/22: After submitting my previous review, management contacted me about our experience and wanted to make things right. We went back and they went above and beyond in attempting to rectify the situation. The staff was very attentive and the food was excellent. A special thank you to our server Mary, for ensuring we had a much better experience. The staff has a genuine concern in ensuring that one has an enjoyable experience.

    We’ve been here twice before with very good reviews. Food, service, drinks all very good. Last night was a disaster. We ordered a bottle of wine. Almost 30 minutes later the sommelier came to say that it was not available and instead of suggesting something comparable tried to push us toward something 1 and a half times the price that woul not go with what we were ordering! Our server had an attitude on from then on. Made herself scarce and didn’t bring things we had ordered until we asked 2 or 3 times. The sole we ordered came not as described and then had many bones rendering it inedible The overall experience I kept apologizing to our friends for We had been so impressed on ourfirst 2 visits I’m sorry to say we won’t be going back soon

    The new ownership has done a wonderful job. Food was excellent, the Scallops were fantastic and the Tuna Tartar was just as good. We sat in the bar, staff was excellent and attentive with great recommendations Michella and Lawrence are great bartenders and easy to talk to. And Lou the piano player was very entertaining. Ownership had done great with the decor!!!!! We will be back!!!

    It was good, however they have a heavy hand with rosemary which I can not stand. So this kind of ruined it for me.

    It was our first time and we loved it! The food was fabulous & the service was perfect. The only downside was the noise from the table of 8 behind us. They were so loud that we paid our check and left. Next time I would prefer the small room with the fireplace.

    Ordered the Oysters Rockefeller to share and we both ordered the prime rib with sides of potato au gratin and creamed spinach. Abnormally long wait for appetizer as the restaurant was pretty empty at this time. App. finally came out and we were served a platter of raw oysters (not what we ordered). Another long wait for the Oysters Rockefeller (which were overcooked) to come out with no apology. The prime rib, once again, took a long time to come out. It was pretty good but almost cold. Creamed spinach was very good but the potatoes au gratin were more like watered down cheesy mashed potatoes. Our server, although very nice, walked around looking confused throughout dinner (she only had 4 tables). Had to wave her down numerous times to get her attention. After 2 hours of frustration we waved down our server once again to get our bill. After reviewing our bill we noticed that we were charged for the raw oysters rather than the oysters rockefeller…another wait with no apology to get the bill corrected. I know that many restaurants are running short handed at this time but that doesn’t seem to be the issue here, there were many servers, busers etc walking around. We are locals, with so many fabulous restaurants in the area we are certain Sea Crest Grill was a one and done!

    The place has been totally redone and more upscale then most local places. As you walk in there is very nice piano player and great music right outside of the dining area, across from a nicely finished bar. The dining rooms are very well decorated and remind of a few nice upscale restaurants in NYC. The server was outstanding and very attentive. The menu has a good selection ranging from seafood thru steaks and chops. All thefood was very good, we will be back

    We really wanted to like this place since my family always enjoyed the old Doolan's. Decor is nice but food wasn't anything spectacular and service was slow, just like other reviews stated. The bacon app did not seem to be cooked all the way, and the steak and tuna entrées were just ok. We did not want to stay and try any desserts. We probably won't be returning, as much as we would like to try other items on the menu.

    It was such a nice surprise to see the beautiful decor and excellent food for this rejuvenated restaurant. The wine list was extensive and the menu very appealing. We all enjoyed our meals but service was a little sketchy- while our server was great, the auxiliary staff was a bit off - serving our party of 3 a bread basket with 2 rolls, bringing over the wrong starters. But overall, it was a great experience and we will be back.

    We were hopeful that we would add the Seacrest Grille to our dining rotation. After dinner, we decided that we will not. The entry was and foyer created an eye catching start as you would expect from a catering venue. We were met with a scheduling error that “we have you down for tomorrow .. but give us a few minutes.” We had booked the time on Open Table and had the paper reservation with us. We paused for a drink at the bar and, after a 5 minute wait, followed the hostess to our table, in a dark corner of the dining room under an overhang. We requested a change and were finally seated at a table in the main dining room about 20 minutes after our arrival. Drinks took 15 minutes to arrive after ordering. Same for the appetizers and main courses. From arrival to departure- 3 hours - with 3 rounds of wine, priced quite high at $18. Some of the food was very good (steaks) and some not very good (crab cakes). Tuna app was pretty good as was the shrimp, though the cocktail sauce was watery and served without fresh horse radish. Although the ambiance is nice, there are better places to eat and spend less money.

    Both entrees and appetizers were excellent: perfectly done, beautifully presented, delicious. Large portions. Service was attentive and enthusiastic. Short but adequate wine list. Atmosphere was improved over previous ownership but still reminiscent of banquet hall.
