This is a very rustic place, rather expensive. No drinks (except wine and beer), no reservation, no credit card and just seafood, but very fresh and good preparation. We could observe wales with babies from our dinner table.

The Sea Chest is a GEM on Moonstone Beach. We arrived, were warmly welcomed and sat in the small bar awaiting our table. Just had time for a glass of wine and we were seated.

This restaurant was highly rated, so maybe we were expecting too much. The service was great, but the food (cioppino and scampi) was ordinary. They don't take reservations or credit cards.
It was recommended by the hotel. They do not take reservations or credit cards. Cash only. We split the Halibut and added an extra soup. People arrive early, bring their wine. They drink their wind and socialize in the parking lot. They do not charge a corking fee, so you can bring your wine in. Prices were inline with other...

All entrees were priced $25-$30. This does not include appetizer (av.$10) or drinks. Also, they do not take credit cards. Cash or check...

Cash or check only! In April on a Wednesday we took a chance and got in line at 5:30 when they opened and were lucky enough to get a table. I am so glad we did.

everything is THE BEST!! Menu,staff, ambiance, view. As a 20 yr. resident this is my absolute favorite!!
Fresh fish, oysters, clams, yum! Love this place, even standing in line outside having happy hour with other peeps waiting. We ate here two out of three nights, our server, Mary, was the best! We stay on Moonstone Beach and can walk to dinner here. Can't say enough good things about it - just a fun place with outstanding seafood...

We were looking forward to trying the Sea Chest because so many reviews were so positive.
When we walked in the atmosphere was cordial, customers making happy sounds. The place was full, but perhaps because it was April, we did not have a long wait to be seated.
We were looking forward to simple fish meals and both of us...
