Everything I dream of in a breakfast diner. Delicious food, generous portions, beautiful view, clean, awesome service. Super good pancakes, fluffy and just perfect. Perfectly cooked eggs and omelet. And honestly the best service I've ever had. The wait staff is attentive, friendly, and quick. What a gem. I wish I lived closer to become a regular. We went back for breakfast the next day. Can't wait to try their lunch and dinner someday.

Seascape is situated right next to the wharf, and offers a great view of the water. The clam chowder was very much to my liking, I prefer a thicker chowder, and it delivered. The fried calamari was perfectly cooked, not at all overcooked/rubbery. I had the bacon cheeseburger and fries. Their fries are fried with panko crumbs, I think, with the little bits baked on, and very crunchy. The special today was $20 for a whole dungeness crab, can't beat that! The cooked crab was served cold, which was a first for me, but it was also perfectly cooked. I had a blackberry wine spritzer that was tasty and

I was definitely underwhelmed and disappointed. The cup of clam chowder literally came in a paper coffee cup with a plastic lid over plastic wrap. There was no seasoning at all. Piping hot but bland. The "fish and chips" were horrible. First of all, the fish seemed to be from frozen strips and there was no crispy coating or seasoning like you would expect. The "chips" was a piece of garlic bread. WTH? In what parallel universe does chips = garlic bread? The French fries actually had to be purchased separately. We did purchase yhose to go with the fish and they were AWESOME

I had the grilled smoky sandwich and it was really good. The coleslaw that came with it was bland and tasteless. My husband had the fish and chips. The fish and chips were the worst either of us had ever tasted. The fish had no coating like traditional fish and chips. They were cut into perfect rectangular squares and came to us soggy and cold. They had no flavor. The Bloody Mary was average. Save yourself $15 on fish and chips and buy Van de Camps from the freezer section, they're better!

Food was great! Staff was helpful, especially with my kiddos. Not to mention the location, right on the pier and short 15 sec walk to a little beach.

Went there yesterday, Oct 2021. Place is a bit run down looking, not like most of the photos I'd seen. The staff was interesting. The hostess, whom I am assuming is new, was a bit rough around the edges. Think it was personality, not purposeful. Waitress was a sweetheart, and patient with the hostess. Hostess gave us incorrect change. We gave her a $20, she thought it was a $100. We caught it before leaving and kindly had her fix it. Food? I had clam chowder soup, as one must when by the ocean, was decent. Nothing spectacular but okay. Garlic bread - do not recommend, did not resemble any garlic

Good portion size, service, and location at pier. Chowder and chicken fried steak hit the spot. Ample parking. Can get busy with tourists, but hey, arent we all.

The worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant. Nearly sent my partner to the hospital.

When we got to the restaurant, we asked them what type of cooking oil they use in their fryer since much of their seafood was fried and my partner has allergies. Specifically, we asked whether there was soy in the oil. At first, the hostess told us yes without checking. We asked them to double check with the kitchen to be sure since often oils will be branded as "vegetable" but contain soy.

They went back to ask and came back and confirmed that it was soy free so we sat down and ordered a

My wife and I had lunch here after a great hike to see the Trinidad Lighthouse, which was closed. We both had the fish and chips we both agreed, best we've had, ever. Not greasy, fish was tender and flavorful. Service was quick and very friendly, great price.

Had a great breakfast, enjoyed the Smokey omelette and huckleberry pancakes. With a good view and being one of the few places open for breakfast in Trinidad I would come back.

This used to be one of our favorite spots to eat. But the last few times it hasn't been that good. Fish and chips used to be amazing now the fish pieces are smaller and taste like frozen fish. Yesterday we had clay chowder. The carrots and celery where still crunchy. No clams at all. Please go back to the original recipe. It was alot better.

Ok, the place isn't the prettiest place to look at, but it has a killer view, is clean, the service is great and the food was perfect. Been coming here for years. A few years ago it changed hands and had a rough patch, but now it right back on top. I had, of all things, eggs with clams chowder on top. I know, it sounds weird, but if you like clam chowder, you're going to love this. I had just one complaint and that was that they were just a bit over zealous with the green onions. You may want to ask that they go a bit light on them. That said it was excellent and the serving size was

The Seascape Restaurant has a five star view but I wouldn't give it five stars if the food didn't deserve it, too.

My mom was raving over her clam chowder, garlic bread, and mouthwatering blackberry pie. I savored my veggie burger and fries.

Highly recommend this place if you're onthe North Coast!

Yummy pancakes, with great views. Parking is easy and sufficient in the morning. After you have your breakfast to start your today, plenty to walk around and explore.
I had the fisherman breakfast and I would recommend it. Enjoy

Great location in Trinidad, restaurant was right at the start of the Trinidad wharf, view of the ocean and the boats. We were seated right away with a great view. This restaurant did a good job with the my fish and chips and clam chowder and the prices were reasonable

Enjoyed waiting to dine for breakfast by the marina and small beach with the marine layer leaving a quiet and calm atmosphere before entering the restaurant. We wait roughly 25 minutes for a booth for 2 this Sunday morning around noon. We ordered a Bloody Mary, mimosa and some waters to start. The menu has a multitude of options. I ordered the Spanish omelette with wheat toast and my husband ordered the chicken friend steak plate. Not we're huge and hit the spot! Friendly staff and service. We even bought 2 crab hats from the local artist that sells there! I love visiting this gem whenever

Situated between a protected beach and a commercial fishing pier, the location makes you hungry for seafood and Seascapes impressively satisfies that craving. We were a tad early for lunch, so no wait for a patio table. Service was excellent. The waitress was very helpful with our questions and she did great taking our picture for us. I substituted cole slaw for my chips in the Fish & Chips and it was awesome. Super friendly attitude and really good seafood.

Fantastic service and the food was great as well. The sourdough chowder bowl was tasty and priced well. My husband had the half portion fish and chips and really liked it, he said the batter was perfect, not too heavy. The Redwood Stout was really good as well. We'll be back for more seafood fare next time we are in Trinidad.

Not a bad meal! I got the smoked salmon sandwhich with coleslaw and husband had fish n chips. My meal was a little disappointing,basically tasted like a grilled "cream cheese" sandwhich lol. My husband said his fish n chips were just ok, he preferred the fish n chips at Trinidad Eatery though. Definitely come for the view and service! We probably just ordered the wrong thing...heard breakfasts are awesome

Trinidad is a delightful freak of nature. A unique typology. Island size Boulders. Wildlife and harbor life on display. There is no better place to appreciate than this restaurant.

The Restaurant is simple diner with a view.
The service is scaled to this so scale your expectations and you will not be disappointed. Deep breaths, this is very casual.

The pancakes are worth the trip. Very special. Homemade berry, pecan, sourdough. Just get these.

Beautiful view!! The restaurant use to served dinner but due to pandemic, we were told they are down to 3 servers. Despite having only 3 staffs, the service was fast, friendly and attentive. Would recommend and come back.
The restaurant for now is open 8 am- 4 pm. With plan to open for dinner this summer.

Could not have had a more beautiful setting for our breakfast, right at the tiny cove, overlooking the pier. My sourdough blackberry pancakes were unique and generous-- and made from a hundred year old sourdough starter-- and my husband's omelette was fluffy and filled with cream cheese and locally smoked salmon. Service was fast and friendly. Love that the restaurant is owned by the local native tribal people now too! So good we're going back again this morning, and I almost never repeat restaurants on vacation!

I was so excited to eat fish by the water in this beautiful picturesque setting. I showed up and the tables outside were taken. I asked if I could possibly order and wait until a table opened. They said no because they didn't want to have to wipe down another table. I said I could stand and they agreed. Another party arrived and they gave them the next table that opened up. I mentioned that I was waiting first and they said it would be another few minutes. After multiple tables had opened and no one had bussed them they finally took my order. The whole time I watched as all but two employees

My first impression of this place after one visit is that people don't come here for the food. Seascape is always steadily busy so I would have thought the food was something to rave about, but not much stands out about this place other than it's location right on the water. As previous reviews have stated, the food is on the borderline between average and good probably depending on the dish you order. I got the shrimp fry and the shrimp tasted like it came prepackaged and frozen. It wasn't served hot either, but on the bright side the fries were pretty good (probably the best part
