Sea Legs Wine Bar

"An outrageous experience. The bar at LAX automatically adds an 18%tip “for my convenience”, and I pay tax on the tip! Zero stars, but two for the friendly bartender. Last drink purchase for me at LAX."

"After being stuck in this airport for over 5 hours due to delays I was trying to find a place to charge my phone. I located a plug on the wall under a bench that apparently belonged to this bar. I plugged in my phone and literally 5 seconds later a man says to me "are you actually going to patronize my restaurant or just steal the electricity" I was completely speechless of course. He told me to leave (mind you I hadn't even been offered a menu or a chance to decide what I wanted). I said I'd like to buy a Coke and he told me he was refusing service, told me he was the manager and there was no one else I could speak to and then called the police on me! To top it off he took a picture of my son, and refused to give me his name when I asked. Sad little man on an "I'm the manager" power trip. Absolutely absurd, do yourself a favor and stay away from this RUDE atmosphere."

"A really great spot to wait out your time at the terminal. Food is fresh with good portions, and there's a good variety of drinks. The bartender this evening was incredibly quick, professional, and friendly."

"Food was ok...the usual overpriced bland airport food. This restaurant automatically gives itself an 18% gratuity for the "[customer's] convenience." Giving yourself an automatic tip is an INconvenience to a customer, not a convenience. They don't have a sign or anything anywhere to let you know before ordering that you HAVE TO pay the additional 18%... it's a rip off to customers! Was the service great? Not at all. I didn't even receive my food yet and I was immediately given the bill. I was rushed by the waiter to sign the check while eating, not long after the food arrived. The drink menu doesn't have any prices listed, so they charge you whatever they want. This was near my gate, so I gave them my business but I wouldn't do it again."

"I reluctantly came to this bar, but it turned out to be the most pleasant surprise. I had been at the airport waiting for my delayed flight for about 5hrs before I decided to get something to eat. My 1st choice was Slapfish but the bad reviews that were not about the wait + service were about moldy fish and I was not about to have that. so I decided to get the salad from Sealegs because I had already seen it from the person next to me and it looked appetizing. My waitress was the kindest woman named Caryn (or at least that's what it said on my receipt) anyways, the salad was on the "sharable" portion of the menu but it was so good, I ate the whole thing. It had smoked salmon, some arugula, cucumber, lemon, tomatoes and maybe a few other greens. I enjoyed it, even the toast! I think it might have been even better with some capers but that's just me. if I ever fly delta again and have a long wait ahead of me, I'd probably eat here again. it's really expensive tho, just saying."
