We’ve been to Seaboy several times and always have an amazing meal. Everything we’ve tried on the menu is delicious. Each dish is uniquely crafted with vibrant flavors and fresh ingredients. The entrees are great, but we usually share a bunch of small plates. Some of our favorites are the crab dip, the lamb ragu, the crab & chorizo croquettes, the grilled salmon, and the brussel sprouts. You honestly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. We love to end the night with the banana bread - it’s melt-in-your-mouth good. The waitstaff are very knowledgeable and go above and beyond to ensure an excellent dining experience. The restaurant is small but I think that gives it a nice, intimate feel. There’s also a cute little patio that we’ve eaten on when the weather’s nice. We’ve brought friends and family and everyone is always very impressed. This has become my favorite restaurant in the area!

My family and I came here to celebrate my mom’s birthday, and we had an absolute blast! The cocktails were fantastic—we ended up trying almost the entire cocktail menu—and every single one was delicious. The food was incredible and honestly hard to put into words. I’m not a huge seafood fan like the rest of my family, but I still found plenty to enjoy and left with a full, happy stomach. Megan was our server, and she was so kind, attentive, and accommodating throughout the evening. The entire staff went above and beyond to make our celebration special. I would definitely recommend this place and can’t wait to come back!

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 was absolutely amazing. Hands down one of the best meals we’ve had in a very long time. We sat at the bar and Dana took incredible care of us from start to finish. Every recommendation she made was a hit, and we ended up ordering everything she suggested. As my husband said, it was “a party in our mouth.” The food, the atmosphere, and the service were all outstanding. We’ll definitely be back.

Oh boy! Seaboy! is a hidden treasure! This is what the Charlotte area has been missing and desperately needed. Five stars across the board — staff, hospitality, food, and drinks! We sat at the bar due to not having reservations. Dana and Megan are awesome! We also met the manager, Peter, who was very welcoming. We opted to try several small plates, given this was our first visit. The grilled oysters (all three options), lil gem Caesar, crab dip, crispy halibut cheeks, and lamb ragu were all phenomenal! For dessert we got the cinnamon roll with cacao nibs and orange frosting to go. We will definitely be back!
