    A fabulous meal for our 50th wedding anniversary. Staff all signed a card for us and made the evening very special. The food was excellent - we both had the lamb which was cooked with an Indian touch and was both tender and spicy. The side dishes were huge - the brussel sprouts and mushrooms were tasty and different to how we had been served them in the past. Thank you for an unforgettable meal.

    Poor front of house service, kept us waiting at the front desk for 10 minutes. Food and the service inside the restaurant was exceptional.

    Service was very slow waiter had too many tables to deal with so we didn’t see her for multiple minutes and then we needed something. We’d have to actually go find her.

    Save yourself the money and go to outback for a steak. It will taste the same. They refunded my steak and still ended up paying 250.00 for food that was sub par to say the least. Management didn’t care at all. Thx guys

    The flavors were fine but when you charge 6 dollars an ounce for a porterhouse you need to nail the cook! We asked for medium and honestly most of the steak was closer to well done than medium. It’s also considered polite to let people finish their last bite before you start clearing. It wasn’t bad by any means but for the price they did not deliver.

    Always an amazing 5-star experience at Sear & Sea. I’ve been here about 10 times in the last few months, and it is one of my favorite steakhouses in the entire country. Incredibly creative & delicious appetizers that you can’t get anywhere else, and the fantastic steaks are always grilled perfectly and are always seasoned deliciously with just a hint of sea salt. But best of all — and I saved the best for last — the staff is hands-down the absolute best. Big shoutout to Isa the incredible hostess, Diego the amazing server, and JP the wonderful server for always giving me a memorable experience. But the ENTIRE STAFF is always on their A-game here. Highly recommend this place for a true upscale & wonderful experience.

If you need accessible seating or want a quieter family table, call ahead, private rooms or patio seating can help tailor the experience.

Portions are generally moderate to generous, mains (steaks, branzino, lamb) are main‑course sized and sides are shareable. Many guests mention hearty steak portions and substantial sides like truffle mac, mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. A few guests felt some holiday or family‑style offerings were lighter than expected, so if you’re very hungry consider ordering an extra side or sharing starters.
