The Revival of an Icon (Est. 1942)

Old‑school charm. New‑school craft. The same sense of adventure.

Opened in 1942, Seven Seas became a beloved gathering place—where sailors, chefs, and storytellers traded tales over perfect seafood. Today, we honor that spirit with a modern pantry, responsible sourcing, and technique‑forward cooking. Our kitchen moves between coasts and currents: bright Mediterranean notes, Latin warmth, Asian precision—united by pristine product and a devotion to hospitality.

Signature Experiences

Signature cocktail at Seven Seas

Inventive + Exciting Libations

From nautical classics to surprising signatures—clarified citrus, ocean botanicals, and low‑ABV spritzes for long afternoons on the terrace.

Oysters on ice

The Theatre of the Raw Bar

Rotating oysters, chilled king crab, and crudos that let the day’s catch speak in a whisper.

Seafood paella

Paella of the Seven Seas

A saffron‑laced centerpiece layered with shellfish, line‑caught fish, and toasted socarrat—a table ritual for two or more.

Grilled whole fish

Charcoal & Wood‑Fired Catch

Whole fish, collars, and steaks kissed by the grill, finished with oils, herbs, and citrus.
