Editorial Review for Sundance Grill – by Andrea Loera

The Scene
It may feature the same waterway as its across-the-channel neighbors, but the Sundance Grill has an entirely different atmosphere. More boat-owners than boat-watchers frequent the restaurant, which is hidden behind the Seabrook Ship Yard. Inside, a handful of tables share space with a bar full of regulars, but it's the spacious outside deck that's the main attraction. Experienced wait staff adjust umbrellas for prime sunset watching as diners sip cocktails and enjoy the relaxed pace.

The Food
The menu emphasizes grilled seafood with a tropical flair. Start with Hanzee's crab cakes (a favorite of owner Hans Mair) with poached salmon and lumps of crabmeat. The Philippine snapper is grilled and flavored with cilantro, ginger and soy, accompanied by a zesty cucumber and cashew salsa. For something other than seafood, the Sundance burger is a juicy, six-ounce patty on a still-warm bun served with lettuce tomato and onion. The menu also features sandwiches, steaks and chicken.

Insider Tips

When to Go

Sunday afternoons feature a live steel-drum band, which plays from the early afternoon through sunset. Live piano music is the catch of the day from Wednesday through Saturday.

The Extras

Planning on tying up at the dock? The Sundance Grill will also bring food out to customers who want to stay on their boats. Or call a carry out order in while you're at sea, and a waiter will bring out your meal when it's ready.

User Reviews for Sundance Grill

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

06/26/2008 Posted by patraicia

I could not disagree more with the last review. We have visited several times in the past year and have found both the service and the food to be highly acceptable and enjoyable. The views from the deck of the passing boats and the sunset only compliment the food and service. We especially like that this restaurant is off the path and has a clientele of like minded patrons who are there for good food, good service, and the serenity and peace that comes with the surroundings. Our special requests were honored without question. Ask about the off menu items! Please give them a try and decide for yourself - you will not be disappointed.

Pros: service, food, special requests

Cons: wine list is not extensive

2 Star Rating: Below Average

If not for the panoramic view of Clear Lake, this place would have closed long ago. Terrible food and service, sometimes takes two hours for un acceptable food (did I mention it';s way over priced) unbelievable chaos in the restaurant, lead by the owner who is always yelling at his servers and bartenders in front of the entire diningroom, it's quite a show, it should be a realality TV show. Someone needs to tell this guy he is a real #!*% The place to go is Sundance @ Waterford Harbor in League City. Excellent menu, service and quality food, still with a waterfront view. I have been to the Seabrook Sundance dozens of times and it just gets worse each time, I'm never coming back to that location.

Pros: View, Best in Clear Lake

Cons: Screaming owner, Terrible food/ service

Sit and watch the boats go by at this slightly more exclusive alternative to the Kemah Boardwalk.  See the full editorial review.
