Sea House

Restaurant

Sea House was hatched from the windswept, sun-baked memories we all share – those moments somehow more memorable because they were made by the shore.
Sea House is not only a restaurant. It is also a reminder – to enjoy the simple times, times devoted to the good things, quality time with the ones we love.
