The Seagrass Restaurant, located on Main Street in Ocean Grove, a town with few fine dining restaurants, is popular with diners who enjoy well-prepared seafood dishes using fresh farm-to-table ingredients, and locally caught seafood.
The restaurant is owned and operated by Executive Chef Janine Cinseruli and business partner, Kimberly Perkins.
The New American, seasonally changing menu features simply prepared, seafood, great steaks, chops, and vegetarian, and gluten-free dishes using fresh farm-to-table organic produce, and locally caught seafood when available.
The ambiance is modern, upscale, yet casual. There is a huge fish tank at the entrance that sends the message that you are here for the seafood.
For a romantic occasion with quiet conversation, ask to be seated in one of the two tables by the window, or outside during the summer.
Service is warm, professional, and attentive.
During the warmer months, there is outdoor sidewalk dining. Great for enjoying people-watching and the artsy Ocean Grove scene.
Also during the summer months street parking is limited, you may have to walk several blocks to find a spot.
SeaGrass Restaurant does not take reservations. During the summer months expect to wait a while for a table, (especially if there is a performance at the Great Auditorium).
The SeaGrass Restaurant is open seven days days/week for Lunch and Dinner
