My husband had the blackened swordfish, very flavorful and i had the halibut, both cooked right, shared the Mac and cheese with lobster very good and enjoyable evening. Will definitely look to come back.

We dined and celebrated for four hours. Perfect service, libations, apps, main courses and birthday cake. Truly a night to remember.

What a nice find for Seafood in NYC. The menu was primarily seafood. However, they also have dry aged beef. We only had seafood and it was exceptional. Started with Kumoto oysters which are hard to find. Mains we had blackened swordfish and halibut. Both were swimming that morning they were so fresh. Dessert was just as outstanding as the rest of the meal; freshly made chocolate lava cake. Service was on par with the meal....excellent. I will be going back soon!

This was our second visit to Sea Fire Grill and it met our high expectations. We’re out-of-towners who visit NYC typically over the Labor Day holiday weekend. This has become our kickoff lunch place. Nice looking, comfortable, nice ambiance. Service is very good. Albi was our server this time—very good job. Generous martini pours! Nice touch with the bread + white fish/radish/EVOO+vinegar start. Gratis. We had raw bar with a mixture of East Coast/West Coast oysters plus colossal shrimp. Awesome! SFG does seafood first-rate so this is a picturesque presentation with accoutrements, including caperberries (yum). For entrees, my wife had the salmon burger (good) with herb fries (great!) and I enjoyed the entree lobster salad (perfect). Sea Fire Grill earns its lofty reputation. We’ll kickoff here next time.

We all (me, my wife and our friend) enjoyed the lunch at Sea Fire Grill. I had lobster bisque which was delicious - very good texture, with crunchy croutons inside and even with tiny morsels of lobster. For the main dish I had steak medium rare. The meat had great taste, maybe a little harder than I would prefer but still quite enjoyable. For dessert I had tiramisu which was wonderful. The service was also fantastic.

Food was excellent but noise level was almost unbearable. Food offerings for Restaurant Week were all quite good as was the service. Glad NYC is coming back to life but will not return anytime we wish to have a discussion at the table. If with a bunch of boisterous business associates on the companies dime, go.
