Holy moly! This place rocks! My pics speak for themselves. Perfect experience. Interior transforms you to the beach. The staff was knowledgeable and super helpful. Bonus points were earned by serving an oyster topped michelada!

Great spot for high-quality seafood with seasonal specials. The soft shell crab platter was incredible—definitely a standout. They have really nice outdoor seating, which makes it perfect for enjoying a meal and beverage “by the sea.” Service was incredible, and the atmosphere is very family-friendly. Will absolutely be back.

This place is a find!!!😁 Neighborhood seafood restaurant with all the right stuff!! The food was amazing - I absolutely loved the Gazpacho soup, which generally is hard to find. The service and the cleanliness were top notch. I did not except the great cocktails and the specials which were both nice surprises!! I will 100 percent be going back !!! Join me!!

We had an excellent experience at Jean’s “By The Sea”! The seafood was incredibly fresh, and the seafood cold platter was absolutely terrific with a great variety of delicious options. The restaurant was very clean, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the overall atmosphere had a fun, positive vibe. It’s clear they take pride in both the quality of their food and their customer service. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in the area!

Solid food consistently seasoned a little heavy on the salt, just a bit.
Loved the menu, loved the atmosphere, nice addition to the local food scene. Lots of happy families and plenty of seating options.
