MGM Seacrest Southern Sojourn - ECR is frequently praised for its inviting ambiance, offering both indoor and outdoor seating options, with a notable seafront view that enhances the dining experience. Live music consistently adds to the pleasant atmosphere, making it suitable for both casual and special occasions. The food quality generally receives positive remarks, particularly for vegetarian dishes and starters like prawn cocktail salad, which are highlighted for their flavor and presentation. However, some guests note that while the cuisine is enjoyable, certain dishes and drinks are considered average and service timing for main courses can be slower during peak periods. The staff are widely regarded as attentive and courteous, contributing to a welcoming environment. Overall, the restaurant is valued for its combination of atmosphere, service, and flavorful options, though there is occasional feedback suggesting room for improvement in consistency and food variety.

We had a wonderful experience dining at this restaurant. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual and professional gatherings. One of the highlights of our meal was the veg platter, which was exceptionally well-prepared and beautifully presented. Each dish on the platter was flavorful, with a perfect balance of spices and freshness that truly stood out. It was a delight to savor such thoughtfully crafted vegetarian dishes. What made our visit even more memorable was the excellent service provided by Sujatha. She was attentive, courteous, and went out of her way to recommend dishes that perfectly suited our preferences. Her knowledge of the menu and her ability to understand our tastes ensured that we had a delightful dining experience. It’s not every day that you come across such impeccable service, and Sujatha’s warm demeanor made us feel truly valued as guests. This restaurant is an excellent choice for business visits, thanks to its professional yet comfortable atmosphere, delicious food, and outstanding service. Whether you’re looking for a place to impress clients or simply enjoy a good meal with colleagues, this spot ticks all the boxes. Highly recommend it for its quality food, exceptional service, and overall experience.

Had a gone for dinner on our Wedding Anniversary. Excellent food! Amazing seafront view. Very courteous polite staffs. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating was closed during the time that we went, because of storm. So, we had to settle for indoor, which was good too with pleasant live music by some duo band. Coming to the dishes, all the dish that we tried were excellent! They have a variety of appetizing dishes in their menu too which we would try during other times (Yes. Definitely is a place to visit again!) Just a small feedback - the attender who we had, didn't seem to have much knowledge about the dishes in the menu. Maybe she was new. And the accent was not that much understandable. Hope the management takes care of it. Otherwise, good to go!

Our dining experience at Sea Crest Restaurant in MGM Beach Resort was quite a treat! The soup and starters were delightful and set the stage for our meal. The prawn cocktail salad stood out as the star dish—absolutely delicious! The main course, while tasty, took a bit longer to arrive, so do plan accordingly if you're on a tight schedule. The wait was eased by the fantastic mocktails and the mesmerizing beach view that adds a serene touch to the ambiance. Service was commendable, with the staff ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The cost is on the higher side, but the portion sizes are satisfying, making it worthwhile. Overall, Sea Crest is a great spot for a relaxed meal with a view. Don't miss the prawn cocktail salad and those refreshing mocktails!

We visit this place every year. Vegetarian Food is good, but not quite a wow! Great service. Live music is a huge plus. Sad to see the beach disappear in the last many years. Water splashing on diners is a different experience
