About SeaWitch Cafe & Tiki Bar
Thomas has his own fan base at SeaWitch, with multiple guests calling him out by name for spot-on recommendations and genuine warmth at the table. The Ahi Tuna Nachos are worth the trip on their own, called out as super unique by guests who've eaten here in every season. The crab dip is a table staple, the shrimp and short rib tacos each have their devotees, and the Pineapple Jalapeno margarita has quietly become a signature order. Bands play most nights, dogs are welcome on the patio, and the half-off appetizer deal in the off-season gives locals a reason to show up even in January. Come find your table.
