It's too bad that what was once a favourite restaurant isn't anymore. No major complaints about the food, aside from some menu items not being served, but the customer service leaves much to be desired. I'm not one to begrudge a restaurant wanting to close when it's late, but I'm not sure 9:30 pm on a Sunday night counts. After a nice meal, several bottles of wine (incl. appetizers and dessert), our party of 5 was asked to leave in rather blunt and obvious non-verbal cues. (What else would you call turning off the music and putting the restaurant into silence?) I would have been okay with a polite verbal request that the place would be closing shortly, but to be made to feel that you must go and aren't welcome is unacceptable. At least let your guests finish the last bit of wine. That's not so much to ask. We got the hint and left, but follow-up to my complaint the next day simply reinforced the fact that customer service isn't a priority for the owner and serving staff. What a shame. Past meals at this restaurant were enjoyable. That's why we came back several more times. But not anymore. Value your customers and they'll come back. Don't and they'll let others know.

I arrived at the Seahorse Grill for my birthday party. At the last minute, 3 of my friends canceled. When I walked in, I explained that our party would be smaller than we had reserved for. I was berated, quite loudly, in front of the entire restaurant for not having informed them earlier of this change. While I understand that a small, family-run restaurant doesn't have the booking flexibility of a larger restaurant, this could have been handled in a much more professional and courteous manner. This marred what could have been a great evening. Our party was completely ignored for the entire evening by the person who berated us. When I phoned for the reservation, the person who took it was very friendly and asked if it was a special day. I explained it was my birthday, and he said "We will make sure you have a fun evening." It was anything but.

Since this restaurant is not on the main strip of Crescent Beach, I didn't even know it was there for the longest time. Then one day when we were driving around we spotted it tucked away on a back street and decided to give it a try. What a great choice! The restaurant is small, which gives it an intimate feel. I loved the decorations, especially the tiled fireplace that we were sitting beside. The menu is not huge, but it never the less provides a good selection to choose from. Our server was attentive and funny and the food delivered as promised. No complaints!

I was introduced to the Seahorse by my grandfather, who eats there literally almost every day. The owner, John, is extremely talented and flexible, and makes some exceptionally well made dishes.

The quality of the food is higher than average, the times that I've been there everything has been extremely fresh.

My only complaint is that on very busy nights it can be quite loud.
When I first started going there I would ask for things that were more my style, which was usually the curried prawns. I felt they were good, but at some point I asked John, "what would you like to make for me?" WOW! He is extremely creative, and I don't even know what he called what he made for me, it was some type of lobster dish that I absolutely loved, and I usually am not a huge fan of lobster. Since then I've asked him that same question, and I've never been disappointed. He always brings me truly delicious food. To anyone in the area, I highly recommend the Seahorse.
