What to Avoid (4)

Food 4

Lobster tail Net −1

“The lobster tail while of medium size was charred on the bottom and put on the plate with French fries that were coated with the charring.”
Mash potato Net −1

“I have ordered mash potato, but the taste same as from ready kit, we waited for food to long time, and honestly not really enjoyed, my first and last time visit”
Mix seafood plate Net −1

“We ordered mix seafood plate . The quantity is good, enough for 3 persons. But the taste of the king fish, shrimps, fish fingers are not good, not marinated properly. It has strong fish smell and taste. We tried to squeeze lemon to cover that taste, deep to the souses, but it doesn’t work. I rated 3 stars Only for Mutabal (Arabic appetizer), service and sea view. I don’t about the other dishes, but mix plate is not tasty at all.”
Seafood pasta Net −1

“The service and the view were excellent but the restrictive menu and the food presentation were what drew me to give them three stars: we ordered the seafood pasta with tomato-basil sauce but it was tomato paste w no basil to taste or sight, and the seafood is made of tiny bits & pieces of cooking shrimp and cut calamari and tiny cubed fish.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 4

Choose Outdoors. Visit in cooler weather and sit outside for the harbour atmosphere and water views.

Ask Off-Menu. Ask about Lebanese-style calamari with garlic and olive oil, which one reviewer says is not listed.

The Bottom Line

Seaview Restaurant is a seafood restaurant in Umm Suqeim where the setting is a major part of the experience: outdoor tables face a fishing harbour, marina and yachts. The main draw is the fresh-catch display. You can choose fish, prawns, mussels or squid and ask for a preferred cooking method, spices or sauce rather than simply ordering from a fixed menu.

Reviews particularly mention the seafood platter, grilled prawns, calamari and lobster cappuccino. The platter can be generous enough for three adults, while the café upstairs adds coffee and distinctive drinks for a more casual stop. Service is often described as friendly and helpful, and staff are credited with explaining fish choices and sauces.

There are a few reasons to plan rather than drop in blindly. The menu variety is limited for some diners, cooking and seasoning have been inconsistent across visits, and made-to-order dishes may take more than 25 minutes. Outdoor dining is most appealing in cooler weather; the indoor area has been described as needing renovation.

Parking can be tight, with one review reporting only three spaces. Prices have also been called high by some guests, so this suits diners prioritising fresh seafood and a quiet harbour view over a quick or budget meal.
