    Grilled artichoke with 2 dipping sauces was delightful. Snapper fish tacos were filled full with lots of fish and condiments. Fresh salmon with lemon picata sauce was perfectly prepared and came with LOTS of green beans and fries. We're going back!

    Went for the oysters and was disappointed. The rest of the meal was really good. Had a delicious Tuna tartare tower. The ceasar salad was different and inventive. The Bone marrow with tartare was amazing. Our server was terrific.

    Sea venture has become our go-to restaurant for all occasions and just for a spontaneous dinner out. It is consistently good for both food and drinks. This time, our server, Lucy, provided the usual friendly professional service.  there is an ocean view, and, if you go early enough, a sunset.
