Review

There aren’t many local perks to being in the top 10% of Google Reviewers or a Yelp Elite All-Star, but every once in a while it pays off in the best possible way. Yesterday was one of those days. The team at Sea Pal Cove invited me in to sample their Valentine’s Day special, and let me tell you, they absolutely knocked it out of the park.

They’re offering a Valentine’s meal for two that includes Shrimp Scampi 🍤, a calamari appetizer served with their famous chipotle dipping sauce, garlic bread, cheesecake, and two drinks all for $50. Yes, fifty dollars. Add in some of the best views in town, and you’re already winning before the first bite.

Now, if you know me, you know I don’t play small when it comes to food. I brought along my friend Johnny Ramey, who knows his way around a plate as well as anyone I trust. Portion size alone left us both full, but more importantly, every dish delivered on flavor. The shrimp scampi was rich and satisfying, the calamari was perfectly cooked, and that chipotle sauce deserves its own fan club. Dessert sealed the deal, and the drinks paired nicely with a view that reminds you why we live here.

Great food, generous portions, fair pricing, and a setting that does half the talking for you. If you’re looking for a Valentine’s dinner that feels special without feeling overpriced or pretentious, Sea Pal Cove nailed it. This is one of those meals that reminds you how lucky we are to have spots like this right in our own harbor.
