SeaLegs Wine Bar

The worst! Come here often !! Service just getting worse and worse! Having our Valentine’s dinner here. Come late so it’s not that busy. But service sucks!!! food is not fantastic but pricy

The only bad thing I have to say about this place was the wait time but we did go a day before valentine’s day so that might be why it was crowded (and I overheard a waitress saying the kitchen was backed-​up). We did make reservations and when we got there, there were other couples waiting to be seated. Staff didn’t check us in until about 25 minutes after we arrived, then we waited another 20 minutes to be seated. After we ordered, our food was served within 10 minutes, so that made us very happy! Food and drinks were great, definitely going back with another Groupon (which included bottomless mimosas). We probably would no go back without a Groupon, it was a bit pricey.

We went for Brunch. It was fantastic!!! We made reservations online. We had a great table in the back and yummy champagne was flowing! The breakfast’s we ordered were all extremely good!

Understaffed. Waitresses couldn’t keep up with the demand, although they tried. Ordered the Chicken and Waffles. Not great, but good. Also ordered a side of eggs and bacon, which came out 10 minutes before my main item (?). 15 minutes later, my girlfriend’s food hasn’t shown up yet. I waited as long as I could before she finally made me start eating. It was already cold. We asked about her food and got an apology, and 7 or 8 minutes later it showed up. I finished mine and waited while she ate. Won’t be coming back.
Oh yeah… Weird music choices for a place trying to be considered a classy brunch spot. Nothing like eating expensive food and listening to «And Then I Got High». Lots of hip hop to follow…
The waitress just came by and apologized again and offered to take our side dishes off the bill. She’s been very nice, but I don’t think she saved this place for us.

Welp, went in with high expectations. Got a Groupon for 2 for their Saturday brunch. I got the lobster toast and my boyfriend got the chicken and waffles with a side of eggs and bacon. With the Groupon we get bottomless mimosas– that’s on the plus side. They brought first the eggs and bacon as if it was an appetizer… ok. When he was done they brought his breakfast only. It was about 20 minutes at least when they brought mine. Someone screwed up :(. The server was very apologetic and we got the eggs and bacon comped. The food tasted fine, my spoon of lobster was alright– I didn’t take a picture because I was hungry!
Also the music didn’t match the location, it was rap and hip hop. I didn’t mind it just thought it was odd but cool.
Probably won’t be back.

This place is rockin. The food is delish. I met a friend for some appetizers. The Chianti chicken tacos are a MUST. I repeat MUST. Delicious. Moist chicken, love that curtido and the avocado sauce. The garlic shrimp are good and their crostinis are delightful. The ceviche is not the best. Not much flavor and just lemony. I like my ceviche traditional Mexican style cooked crudo. The meatball is so meaty big and juicy and that marinara is so tasty I want to rub on my face. I want to come back and grub again.

I have tried SeaLegs twice for brunch with similar experiences… and three stars is pushing it.
Lobster Avocado Toast was $ 22 for a few pieces of flavorless lobster meat and stale tasting bread. We threw a fried egg on top just to make it less dry because it was almost inedible without it.
Chorizo Hash at $ 12 was both filling and tasty, much better choice.
$ 15 unlimited mimosas were standard but the waitress wasn’t always on top of refilling and didn’t give our table of 4 a bucket???
With Mama’s on 39 next door and some other great brunch options available, like OPM, I doubt I will be trying SeaLegs again.

We went here because of all the great reviews from friends
For the price it was not worth it. The location is nice and so is the ambiance until they started playing some weird music. And it was LOUD. This is not the place for a romantic dinner. You have to scream at your date and even then you can’t really understand each other.
The waitress was awesome. Very attentive The other staff members very nice too.
The food — got the naked fries. I’m a bit of a fry connoisseur and when I say the Foss were not good, i mean they were not good. Looked like they were fried and got cold and were deep fried again. Not happy and definitely not worth $ 8. The burrata salad — a big disappointment. Mostly beets and a dollop of burrata. Would not recommend it at all
Would I come back? Probably not.

When visiting my brother we decided to go to Brunch. We weren’t sure where we were going to go until he checked Instagram and saw a picture of a Bloody Mary made with Ghost Pepper Vodka. Knowing that is something I would enjoy the decision was made. We got to Sealegs and I was impressed. Good Music, nice staff and I was excited. The place was empty maybe only 2 other tables. The bartender came to get drink orders. My brother ordered me the Bloody Mary. She gave us a funny look and told us that they carried no such Vodka. So he said ya, it was posted on Instagram this morning. Obviously caught off guard and embarrassed she asked to see the picture then went to look for it. When she returned it was confirmed that they didn’t have it. Another waitress came over and asked to see the post. Then explained that the photo was taken when the Distributor was pitching a sell of the vodka for another restaurant, SeaSalt. Great we said. We will go there. At that point we were told that the restaurant wasn’t opened yet.
As if that post wasn’t bad enough we got another Instagram from Sealegs that showed a packed bar. When in fact it was empty. At this point feeling disappointed we decided it was time to go. My brother then left a comment on the IG post expressing our disappointment. It was Deleted almost immediately! Another comment was made before the owner/​manager contacted us. Trying to explain that they «ran out of the vodka». When they never had it! Since this situation I received negative comments by the owner on my public post. (Which had Nothing to do with Sealegs) and happened to be a Celebratory picture for fighting Stage 3 Breast Cancer. Completely inappropriate!
So please don’t believe posts or Pictures on their Instagram. They are more then
Likely Fake, misleading, and deceptive. Or if you do, DO NOT post or give your opinion or the owner will harass you and block you from their page after leaving unnecessary comments. And Goes Quiet when I privately messaged. Bad Business!

Been coming to SeaLegs for a few years. Currently the staff is good. They’re also letting their wine stay in rotation a little bit longer before changing it out. I like being familiar with my wine selections! Anyways. Still love this place and food consistently great.

Came here for happy hour with a couple friends and ordered some appetizers and drinks. We had the corn dogs, sliders, naked fries, and bruschetta. Everything was amazing, i definitely recommend the bruschetta! It had plenty of flavor and it was the perfect bite. The drinks were great and very decorative.

I’ve been a repeat offender on Sunday’s due to their delicious brunch! While bottomless mimosas are major plus, the food is really what makes this place great.
They are great at accommodating large groups. The only real gripe is that during brunch hours, the service is pretty bad. The last few times, we had to ask for waters twice (which still took a long time) and champagne glasses were empty a lot. And it took forever for our orders to be taken.
However, I’ve also come for happy and dinner, and the service at those times are spot on.

The wait can be pretty rediculous if you do not plan in advance. They have some groupon deals for this place which always helps when paying the bill. Bottomless Mimosas on Saturday as well as Sunday is a key reason why we came on a Saturday. The food was good but nothing to rave about. Still need to try more on their menu but will come again if the right craving for bottomless mimosas come up again.

We went to brunch on a Saturday that we had a groupon for. We had a reservation, that we had to wait 45 minutes for. Once they took our party, they sat us at a table that did not fit our group and then 10 minutes later moved us to bigger table. Once we sat, it took about 15 minutes for waitress to come to take our drink order. Once she came over, she proceeded to tell us that they were out of most items on the menu!!! Everything we had chosen, was not available for brunch.
The waitress was very nice and did a great job, but we felt bad for her because she had to be the messenger of bad kitchen practices. The food didn’t come out at one time, some of us got our order about 15 minutes for others.
I may go back and sit at the bar for a drink, but I won’t go back for food. It’s clear they are not organized when it comes to buying and keeping kitchen stocked.

3 and half stars:
We went here today (Saturday) for brunch with 2 other couples & their kids for a 10 year reunion celebration. We were 6 adults & 2 babies & 2 toddlers. Although they do have high chairs for kids, this place is not very kid friendly! The music is too loud, it’s very crowded & the seating areas are too tight.
Our waitress was nice & polite but I could sense that she was very annoyed with our kids.
We ordered the California chilaquiles without the chicken (it was spicy & nice) & Prosciutto Benedict without the prosciutto (it was ok, it had way too much potatoes on the plate). Our friends got the Lobster Avocado Toast (it had very little lobster & mostly potatoes). We also had mimosa which was great & unlimited!!! You can just keep getting refills.
Overall, the food was ok. I probably wouldn’t want to go back to this place with kids though. The Restuarant is trendy, with the beachy ambiance, they have nice cute chandeliers hanging. They do have a great selection of wines & champagnes.
We got 5% off our entire bill for the Unilocal offer. It was pretty sweet!

We came here for bottomless mimosas and brunch on a Sunday. There was definitely a lot of people, but we didn’t need to wait for a table. I like how they don’t premix the champagne and orange juice together, because I like my mimosas with just a dab of OJ. The server took a little longer on the refill… but, we left as happy campers. Ordered the shrimp omelette and it was large. I’d say the entrees are great for sharing, dependent on how much you eat. My omelette was pretty good! I’d be interested in coming again, maybe at an earlier time. We came around 12:30pm.
In general, it’s a bit expensive for what you get. $ 14 for an omelette? For eggs? Our bill totaled (for 4 people) at $ 112 without tip for 4 entrees and 3 bottomless.

I always envisioned brunch as an excuse for endless daytime wine flights or a social gather amongst friends and good food… whilst slightly dazed on good wine. As brunch is becoming one of my favourite Sunday activities, SeaLegs Wine Bar is surely to top as one of my personal favourite brunch spots on the list. Marine inspired and yacht themed furnishings, SeaLegs Wine Bar has me feeling as if I’m sailing across the Adriatic Sea in a white Santorini dress and an Italian sailor’s cap. Completely in awe over the reminiscing theme, SeaLegs drew me in instantly.
C H A M P A G N E B R U N C H:
Bottomless champagne is $ 15. You can request peach, mango, or several other juice flavours!
F R I E D C H I C K E N B I S C U I T S & G R A V Y [ $ 16 ]
By far my favourite brunch dish on their menu, the chicken is breaded and fried with a kick of spice that tingles on your taste buds. Biscuits are buttery and fluffy, whilst the gravy is in good consistency of heavy cream, and browned sausage bits. This dish is accompanied by breakfast potatoes. As per size goes, this is one generous dish!
H O U S E M A D E F R E N C H T O A S T [ $ 13 ]
A classic rendition of a country breakfast, the housemade french toast is accompanied by 2 strips of bacon, 2 eggs your style, and thick brioche French Toast. If you’re looking for something simple, this is for you.
B E E F S E A S O N A L H A S H [$ 23 ]
As the beef hash is no longer on the menu, it was one of my favourites; a bountiful seasoned and slow cooked beef on top of a bed of plaid squash medley and eggs. Hearty and too big to finish, I hope they bring this back soon enough.
Make RSVP for weekend Champagne Brunch, seats fill up rather quite quickly! x

$ 15 bottomless mimosa with brunch, need I say more?
Great service.
Beautiful décor.
Make reservations in advance! The last time I was there, I was told to come in right as they open for bar seating because they were completely booked. Seating for this visit was a breeze. We chose to sit outside with a beautiful view of… the parking lot.
The food was really good. I had their chicken and waffles and a spring salad. The chicken was tender, juicy and flavorful. The spring salad was refreshing.
Prices are fair.
Most important piece of info, 50% off wine Wednesdays!
Fyi, I got really drunk.

Although in Huntington Beach, do not expect an ocean view. I first purchased a groupon for here for $ 45 for two for 2 entrees and bottomless mimosas. I then went there and find a huge line. So, I make a reservation and the next available brunch date open is in two weeks. No big deal. Unfortunately, my groupon will have already expired by then, I come to find out prior to my reservation date. What a shame. But because the value of the the groupon you paid for never expires, it was still okay. Fast forward a couple of months later, and I finally get in there with no line and no wait.
I enjoy a good brunch especially with bottomless mimosas. I came in knowing what I would order, Prosciutto Bruschetta Benedict. After looking over the menu over and over, I decided on the chorizo hash. ‘Cause chorizo is always bomb. Needless to say, not from here. It was almost all potato. I was so disappointed, but mimosas instantly cheered me up. Waitress was attentive and would refill my glass when nearly empty, all the time. I sat there, picking at my food trying to fork any chorizo I could find, engaged in great bubbly conversation, and sucked it up. Waitress did warn that brunch would be over in an hour or so, I did not take an offense to it as if they were trying to rush us. It was about that time to head out anyway.
2 bottomless mimosas ($ 15 per person) and 2 entrees, I only had to pay an additional $ 15 or so on top of the groupon. The check comes in a journal, where guests can run wild with their imagination and write/​sketch anything their heart desires in it. It was a cool idea, and I could not resist to add my own thoughts in it. It’s the little things.

Wine Wednesday has become an ongoing outing with coworkers on a biweekly basis, maybe more depending on the week, you know? So when Wine Wednesdays happened to land during OC Restaurant Week (OCRW), it’s best to indulge while you can. Even more so when the menu offering included a wine pairing for each course. It was too good of a deal to pass up!
Our group arrived a bit ahead of our reservation, but the restaurant/​bar was already in full swing with patrons. We were seated in the middle of it all and the noise level was beyond comprehension. It was a combination of bar chatter, loud background music and the bustle of the kitchen that made a conversation hard to maintain without playing telephone, but we managed to survive the crowd.
Since Sea Legs was participating in OC Restaurant Week, some of us decided to go ahead with their $ 50 4-​course dinner while others chose their selections on the regular menu.
~ First Course paired with Chalk Hill Chardonnay ~
The Meatball. Ground Wagyu Beef, Veal, Pork with spicy San Marzano tomato sauce and Di Stefano burrata cheese.
Mirin Glazed Brussel Sprouts with chili flakes. Completely marinated through and through, you just might like brussel sprouts after these. Crisp edges meets sweet, sweet glaze, the little poppers were easily dusted off.
Stinky Fries. It’s what they’re known for! Fresh-​cut fries topped with parmesan cheese, garlic and a three-​cheese fondue with truffle oil. Definitely a mountain of fries for this appetizer topped with generous amounts of cheese (both fondue and slices of cheese)
~ Second Course paired with Angels and Cowboys Rose ~
Autumn Salad sounded great on paper, but not that outstanding on plate. Piled high with arugula, the figs, persimmons, pomegranate, candied walnuts and feta were sparse. Tossed with a Rosé white balsamic vinaigrette, it wasn’t enough to pair well with the wine. I had too much bitters on my palate that the wine pairing was oddly matched.
Coworkers got the chicken and vegetable soup and bacon bleu salad.
~ Third Course paired with Malibu Rocky Oak Cabernet Sauvignon ~
Shortrib with fried sunchokes, parsnip purée & chips, sautéed mustard greens and finished with a cabernet reduction sauce.
Duck Confit Shepherds Pie, but not in pie form. Instead of a pie dish, it’s a bit deconstructed with a crispy mashed potato cake and duck confit with carrots, parsnips, leeks and kale served with a duck gravy. Although the menu notates crispy duck skin, I didn’t see it or taste it.
Charred Filet Medallions (not included in OC Restaurant Week menu) Charbroiled with pickled onions served with a red wine demi-​glaze. No other sides included, just the meat.
~ Dessert paired with housemade Irish cream and coffee (ice) block ~
Bananas Foster French Toast. Housemade Brioche, bananas, candied walnuts, cinnamon rum sauce topped with French vanilla ice cream.
Espresso brownie sundae. Espresso infused brownie topped with candied walnuts, vanilla bean ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate and caramel sauce.
Caramel Tres Leches topped with bananas and whipped cream. The cake was soaked just right, although a bit on the sweet side. Regardless, it went really well with the Irish cream, which was really strong until you let the coffee block melt to dilute it. I just wished it melted faster so it had more coffee flavor.
For a wine bar, I was pretty disappointed about their execution for wine pairing. Our glasses were never changed to accommodate each pour and although our glass may be empty, that doesn’t mean the next wine should be filled if we haven’t rinsed our previous fill. I don’t want to mix my wines! The progression was really nice though, from lightest to rich, full bodied wines.
Overall, food was pretty good and wine selection is plenty for the connoisseur. I would be most intrigued to return on a quieter day to browse their selections. Happy Hour is Monday — Friday from 3−6pm, which was probably why it was a bit cray cray with noise. They also offer a Saturday/​Sunday brunch, which would be nice to check out in the future.
