Really enjoyed my lunch here. Service was very friendly, seafood was super flavorful & fresh, and felt like you had a lot of food for a good price. Ordered from the broiler - received baked potato, side salad, and broccoli with the fish. They have a really good seafood display with a wide variety of fish fillets, whole fish, mussels, and large oysters to take home. I liked how they had local wild options. Big parking lot. Would recommend!

This is a great place if you are looking for fresh and reasonably priced seafood. My husband ordered the grilled sea bass with a side of rice and steamed vegetables and a cup of clam chowder soup. I had their special which was the grilled black cod with the same sides as my husband's. That cup of clam chowder was packed with lots of creamy goodness and bits of clams. The cod was fresh and cooked perfectly and so was the black cod. Everything was so good!

The food is good at Sea Harvest, but be aware that each of the Sea Harvest restaurants are different. While the Carmel Valley restaurant has table service, which is nice, the shrimp & crab Louie at the Moss Landing restaurant is a bit better providing hard boiled egg & more dressing.

My husband recommended we go to Sea Harvest for an early dinner after a long day of hiking the Big Sur !! From the entrance of the restaurant, I was really excited about the vibes and the food that was to come. The décor was perfect for a fresh seafood and farm-to-table restaurant. The space is designed with a wonderful authentic blend of fresh seafood market and casual coastal dining . The menu has a great range of freshly prepared seafood. My husband loved the clam chowder, and I LOVED the Sea Harvest Cioppino. The atmosphere is laid-back with a local feel, and the service is great! Cannot wait to go back the next time I visit Carmel.

Cute spot! The food was definitely on the pricier side compared to the portion sizes, but at least you can tell it’s fresh. I had the scallops with fries & clam chowder, and my husband had the sea bass with wild rice & salad—both were cooked pretty basic. Paid almost $90 (tips included) for two entrées.

Came to the area for hiking, and after the meal was perfect. Fast service with a menus that didn’t leave me overwhelmed. The fried portion of the menus is quite good, but the soups were not out of this world. The prices are fair not amazing, but the atmosphere is so cute! I would totally come back for a casual date night or with family!

We had some fresh fish from here. Was hoping for the most epic selection of LOCAL fish. The most recommended items were the Alaskan halibut and king salmon. We came away with the Alaskan halibut and the local sea bass. Both were fantastic. A little confusion over a couple of things. The selection is mostly not local. All fresh. But there were probably a handful of things that were local. And then, there wasn’t anything clear about dining options. So my understanding might be fuzzy, but it looks like 1) one price for takeaway, 2) a different price for takeaway but they cook it, and a 3) price for dine in. We thought we could buy it for takeaway and have them cook it. But when we decided at the last moment to have a seat at a table, the waiter looked so confused as to why we wanted to sit. He responded with something like, “service price”. He also said different menu. Wish someone was able to explain that when we arrived.

Food was good. Bit pricey but considering the location it is understandable. Good experience though. They forgot to serve our bread but was brought in when I asked about it. Place is unique with seafood market inside. Clean and well lighted. Nice dor dates or family gatherings. Restroom is outside the restaurant.
