    Good experience overall as always. Brought a new couple to the restaurant and they really enjoyed the food. Service was good. Only issue was trying to get credit for the meal on the new Howie Club. Server couldn’t seem to find our account using the phone number associated with the account and even when we found the acct. number on our app. Disappointing experience and kinda left us a bit confused on why couldn’t find our account. We had $75.00 credit that will expire July 1st

    Great Experience! The food was excellent. The Seastar Tower for appetizer is great. We tried the BEST Crab Bisque ever! Our server Barry was amazing and provided us great customer service. I highly recommend Seastar for a great dinner!

    Hi Maureen, I'm so glad you enjoyed the food at Seastar. I'm sorry that the ambiance was too loud. June 14th the Saturday before Fathers Day is a very busy time and that may have contributed to the noise level being more than usual. I do hope you will give us another chance. Sincerely, Chef John Howie

    Great experience for my birthday/Father's day. Love the seared salmon belly appetizer and the 3 fish crudo. The zucchini linguine was also great, it was shared with the table. Topped off with the famous Coconut Creme Pie!

    We were there in November of 2024 and meal was perfect. thisi time 6/13/25 we order king salmon with asparagus and mash potatoes and Cesar salad - salad was OK, asparagus was spongy, salty and oily, potatoes OK and salmon was nice. Other plate was planked king salmon broccoli was over cooked, burnt, and had an acidity flavor that was unpleasant, rice OK nothing special and fish was fine. Service was very good. Overall not. The experience we expected for the price. a disappointment.

    Seastar is generally very good, but this was our best experience so far. Our fish dishes were fabulous and the service was fantastic.

    Food was very good. But service was marginal. It felt like we were forgotten about for a considerable period of time. We had to go actually find the waitress before we got our order taken.
