The seafood is very good, very fresh, also quite expensive. the staff were attentive although our waitress wasnt very good at helping us when we had questions about the bottles of wines. all she said after asking the bartender, who also gave not tried it, is that one is drier than the other but she doesnt remember which is which. luckily, another staff who was slightly more knowledgeable and actually had an open bottle that he offered us a tasting before we made up our minds which was very nice and helpful. love the qr codes but the menu font is no good because its too narrow making it harder to distinguish in low lighting for many people.

The environment is pretty cool - perfect for a date night. I had the Inca Maia cocktail and it was so delicious! For food, we had a guacamole (perfect!) and also the Governador Taco - this was our favorite, we never thought that steak and shrimp would match so well. We had the Aguachile as well - if you like spicy food, youre gonna love it! Finally, we had the corn and another plate called Cochinita Pibil. For dessert, of course, churros! Such an elegant place with delicious options! The food was full of flavors and the staff was so nice!

I love a HAPPY HOUR and Seaport House has one of the best for anyone who likes to keep it simple and chill. My sister and I opted for appetizers and drinks.. From 5pm-7pm you can go crazy on the $1.50 oysters sold by the dozen or the half dozen. Their Buffalo Cauliflower is some of the best I have ever tasted, spicy with just a bite but not an overwhelming kick. The texture was just right as well, not too hard, not too soft. I also tried the Ceasar Salad $8 HH menu that came with anchovies and a side of Sautéed spinach with garlic $5 side order. Margaritas were a little pricy, but definitely worth it! Everything was DELICIOUS. My personal favorite was the cauliflower.AMBIANCE: We sat in the outdoor space which was VERY posh and comfortable.SERVICE: Even outside, the service was excellent and the waitstaff were very attentive without being annoying.RESTROOMS: 2 clean unisex bathrooms. Who can ask for more?1 star off because we had to ask about the Happy Hour menu. Also, we were charged for sparkling water that we ordered but never received because they didnt have any at the moment. When we pointed this out on the menu it was quickly rectified, so no harm no foul.

Really good Mexican food. I loved the complex flavors of the guacamole with copious amounts of crab, and the crispy and umami tacos al pastor. I thought the fish was cooked really well, but I didnt love the sauce. The service was great, very attentive and communicative. The space is visually interesting, but too loud for me.

Absolutely amazing and stunning place! The vibes were articulate, the staff was attentive and generous, and food was delicious! My family and I were very well taken care of, by the host and our server Francisco. Francisco was truly amazing! He did a fantastic job in surprising my father for his birthday. Made sure we had everything we needed, continuously checked up on us and was just overall awesome. If you come, make sure to ask for Francisco! We are definitely coming back and becoming regulars! Casa TuLum, stupendous job, keep up the good work!

Great vibe and experience.... the food was good but the Margaritas were exquisite. A lil pricey for the drinks BUT would definitely go back!!!!! Ambiance is nice, decor beautiful, hosts came around to see how we were doing. Great feeling and energy. I dig it!!!! We dressed up and had a great date.

Wow. Best seafood in the city and so fresh! You can tell real thought goes into every piece of fish selected. The tiger shrimp is to die for! And the crispy rice tuna and the shrimp scampi and the snapper. Could go on and on but you should just come and check It out. Haven’t had such good seafood in so long! Wish I took a pic but it was too good! ^_^

We were so excited to try Casa Tulum tonight when we saw it was open! Absolutely delicious enchiladas, tampiqueña, seafood empanada and guacamole!! The staff is incredibly attentive with excellent recommendations and made sure we were taken care of! 10/10 dining experience! So excited to have casa tulum in the neighborhood

Absolutely delicious! I had the best lobster ravioli of my life - huge chunks of lobster perfectly cooked in a delicious light tomato sauce with cheese ravioli. The service was fantastic, and the atmosphere is very cute. Definitely worth a try!!

Really great outdoor dining setup. Set next to the wall... Its a must. Great food all around!

The best lobster roll I have ever had. The hot lobster roll had Buffalo sauce, lettuce, carrots, celery, and blue cheese; absolutely amazing. Fried calamari was also very good.

Review 17 (2022-04-25 - Rating: 5)
I know its a seafood restaurant, but they advertised a hamburger and I have to say, it was one of the best burgers Ive ever had. I went back again the next night and it was jut as good. Really, really tasty. Fresh patty, fresh bun, fresh avocado, bacon and carmelized onions. Now, I do recommend holding the cheese (which I do all over the USA) unless you actually like american cheese slices on a real burger that isnt made at a fast food restaurant - if they had a proper cheese like a nice cheddar, it would put this burger over the top! The service was awesome and they make a top notch Old Fashioned. Highly recommend.

Had an amazing birthday dinner here last night. Danica and the staff went above and beyond for my family and friends. The food? Wow! The service? Couldnt have been better. I highly recommend and will be back soon!

My friends and I planned to go to dinner at a neighboring place but they were closed for a private event. So we decided to meet here instead. Best. Idea. Ever. Im picky about Mexican food. Ive lived in Mexico. This is some of the best Mexican Ive had in the city, hands down. We shared guacamole to start and it was super fresh. I opted for the enchiladas for my main. The sauce was delicious and the chicken tender. My friends had various tacos, rice, and elote. All very well flavored. We shared the churros with Mexican chocolate for dessert. The service was lovely. We met the manager Louis as he made an effort to come over and say hello and welcome us. Apparently theyre not even a month old. But Im certain theyll last for years to come. Buen provecho!

Love this gem on Front St. Feels like a mini escape from the city

Was on a solo wander thru the South Street Seaport and was looking for a bloody mary. The other restaurants next to Seaport House didn’t have one so I landed at their bar. The place has a cute vibe and the staff was warm. I only had the one drink, so I can’t speak to the food. Pretty solid bloody mary - a little on the sour side which was unexpected but good.

Review 31 (2023-05-07 - Rating: 4)
We got the ceviche, grace, Al pastor tacos and fish tacos. The ceviche talcum was good. Guac fresh but such a small serving for 16 bucks ( think chipotle side). The tacos were so disappointing. Cooked well and so pretty but taste was so blah.

Review 32 (2020-12-30 - Rating: 5)
The food and drink were fabulous and I loved the blankets and hot water heaters provided and outside seating! Also the waitress Nicole is terrific!

Great new Mexican restaurant at the Seaport. Aquachile was amazing. Will definitely go back.

Review 53 (2022-09-19 - Rating: 5)
We stumbled across this place after a failed attempt elsewhere in September 2022.Fate was on our side that evening as we walked the summer night.Decor is classy, elegant, clean lines. There is a design sense through out. The light fixture above the bar stools is but one example.The food quality is outstanding. Fresh, tasty.Atmosphere, vibe, crowd, refreshing to feel.But the real draw to this place is its unique staff. Not only are the bartenders strikingly beautiful (l mean it), they are alchemists (with apprentices openly conjuring too).There is one young lady named Becky. She is surely a witch of some sort. Watching her craft is magic. She makes the finest Purple Margaritas. Highly, highly recommend you go out of your way to try one.The music is another major draw too. Its next level.Additionally, the owner Kion is accessible and approachable. Genuinely cares about the customers experience.This place is a must try.

Seaport House is the perfect place to go for an amazing selection of fresh and creative seafood dishes. Together with the modern, tasteful yet fun design, this is my favorite place to go in Seaport!Also, their wood grilled tuna steak is simply to die for!

When downtown and looking for fresh seafood- head down to the seaport, and I mean the Seaport House! Freshest oysters, lobster rolls. All kinds of seafood that would make any dieter say when I see food I eat food! 🦞🦞🦞

The owner of the Seaport House is generous to his staff and to the patrons, as the owner went to great lengths to build in safety measures with special lights and protocols to keep the dining areas, both indoor and outdoor safe during this climate, every cooking and washing elements are top rated. We believe the Seaport House owner loves his business and wants to pass his joy to all the staff and patrons.

My girlfriend and i ate here on their reopening night (20AUG2021). The food was amazing (lobster taquitos were to die for), the pier 17 cocktail was wonderful, the service was outstanding without being intrusive, and a man i assume was the owner was incredibly friendly and an outstanding host.
