Seaboy

An all around great dining experience in Cornelius. Oysters and waiter recommended halibut cheek as appetizers were both delicious. Scallops were perfectly seared and texture of risotto was light/creamy, not starchy. Tuna cooked to temp (go with rare) was an excellent main as well. Cocktails and wine perfectly complimented the meal. I don't think one could go wrong with anything on the menu at this spot!

Seaboy — A Top-Notch Experience I celebrated my birthday at Seaboy last night, and the entire experience was outstanding. The atmosphere, service, and food were all excellent. The servers went above and beyond; both personable and impressively knowledgeable about the menu. The decor transported me straight to New England, and as someone who lived on the coast of Maine for a few years, I can be hesitant about seafood-focused restaurants away from the coast. Seaboy completely exceeded my expectations. We enjoyed the croquettes, lamb ragu, mussels, Brussels sprouts, and the Sable Fish entree; all absolutely delicious! I will definitely be returning and look forward to trying their rotating seasonal menus.

Went here tonight to celebrate my belated birthday after the icepocalypse, and wow — what an experience. We’ve been wanting to try this place for a while since it’s just two blocks from us, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The service was top-notch from start to finish. The owner/executive chef stopped by our table multiple times, and we were also greeted by the chefs and sous chefs, which made the experience feel extra special. We splurged on several small plates and apps — grilled oysters, halibut cheeks, beets, and crudo. The crudo was hands down our favorite… truly outstanding. I wasn’t planning on getting a steak, but decided last minute — and WHOA. One of the best steaks I’ve ever had (wish I had enough room in my belly to finish all of it- slowly dying inside until I can eat it again). Absolutely perfect. The whole branzino was also delicious. *Also, extremely accommodating for celiac disease! Thanks Seaboy! All in all, this place is a total gem, and we’re so happy it’s right around the corner from us. An amazing meal, a wonderful birthday celebration, and an experience we’ll definitely be back for.

Seaboy is hands down the best restaurant I’ve been to in years. The service was outstanding and the mocktails were incredible. Joe was our server and you are truly in for a treat if you have the pleasure of having him take care of you. We started with oysters that came with homemade accoutrements that were absolutely mind blowing, followed by a shrimp cocktail with homemade cocktail sauce that had just the right amount of horseradish. The mushroom toast was delightful, and the seared tuna entrée was perfect. Everything was a 10/10—the service, the atmosphere, and to top it off, the deconstructed key lime pie- what a treat! Chef Jonathan and his team made the entire dinner an unbelievable experience. Highly recommend!

Seaboy is an absolute gem. The space is cozy and intimate in a way that immediately makes you feel welcome and relaxed. The menu is small and beautifully focused which only highlights how much care and precision goes into every dish. Each plate was exquisite with thoughtful flavors and perfect execution from start to finish. The service was truly top notch attentive knowledgeable and warm without ever feeling overbearing. It was the perfect setting to celebrate a birthday meal and made the night feel special from the moment we sat down. Bravo to the entire team. We cannot wait to come back for our next visit.
