This was one of the best restaurant experiences I have had in my life. The food, wine, desserts and service were extraordinary. If you have a special occasion, I highly recommend you book your reservation here. We had early reservations, 4 p.m., the restaurant was quiet and peaceful. The Sea Fire Grill accommodated our special food requests, allowed us to sample wines to make the right selection and moved the dinner at our pace. The manager and his team were thoughtful, respectful and kind. This place is very special.

Sea Fire Grill did not disappoint! We had the scallops, Brussels sprouts, special sea bass, and whole Maine lobster, and everything was delicious! The purée under the scallops was a perfect accompaniment. Service was fantastic. Because it was my birthday, and we were so full after the meal, they gave us each an after dinner drink to celebrate. Staff were on it the entire time, despite the restaurant being packed. If we ever make it back to NYC, we will return1

The food is great, the service is wonderful. We have five people, they put us with 4 people table and one sits at the end of the table, that is not ideal. I was hoping for a better set up. Next time if you have 5 people, ask for a round table.

Food is amazing here. Every dish tried was wonderful. The raw bar tastes like it came from the sea that day. The staff, when they are paying attention, are great; the issue is that they sometimes would be gone for long stretches, in one case a diner had to get up and request something from one of the floor managers. It's a great place and for midtown a reasonable price, just need to watch out for the patrons a little more often.

Let me start by saying I booked a reservation with this restaurant a week in advance prior to Valentine’s Day. I was shocked as the establishment had a great number of bookings available and Valentine’s Day was steadily approaching. My reservation was for 8:30pm. Me and my date arrived at the restaurant promptly at our reservation time and it was chaos and pandemonium. There were people all over, from the bar, to the entrance, to outside. After checking in me and my companion were notified they were running behind on reservations. It was 8:30 and they were only just sitting people with 7:30 reservations. We waited for 40 mins, so almost a hour after our reservation time to still not be seated. Many patrons left and we followed suit. As it was Valentine’s Day all other neighboring restaurants were fully booked. It was an insult to anyone who made a reservation here on Valentine’s Day to enjoy dinner with their loved one. I will never again book or patronize this restaurant. They ruined what was meant to be a special night because they were to money hungry to limit their bookings and seating times.

Arrived at 8:14pm for my 8:15pm reservation for Valentine's Day. After hanging out by the bar for an hour packed like sardines with people, we left without being seated. Totally ruined Valentine's Day. I do not know about the food, never got to try it. NOT COMING BACK. Ever.
