    Sea Fire Grill offered an extraordinary seafood dining experience that left a lasting impression. We began our meal with a rich and creamy lobster bisque, which was perfectly seasoned and had a smooth texture that was incredibly satisfying. Following this, we indulged in succulent grilled prawns that were marinated to perfection, resulting in a delightful burst of flavor with each bite. The creamed spinach that accompanied our dishes was velvety smooth and complemented the other flavors beautifully. For the main course, we chose the tomahawk steak, which was cooked to our exact specifications, resulting in a tender and juicy piece of meat that was a true culinary delight. To top off our meal, we savored the crab-stuffed lobster, a dish that was both visually appealing and bursting with the fresh, sweet taste of crab meat. In addition to the exceptional food, the service at Sea Fire Grill was nothing short of amazing. The staff was incredibly attentive, always ensuring that our glasses were refilled and that we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Their kindness and professionalism made us feel truly welcome and valued as guests. The restaurant itself provided the perfect setting for a weeknight dinner, offering a balance between a cozy and casual atmosphere and a formal dining experience. The beautiful instrumental music playing softly in the background, combined with the dim lighting, created an ambiance that was both intimate and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a memorable evening out.

    We had dinner and drinks at the Sea Fire Grill on Friday night. The service, entrées, drinks were all excellent and complimented by a fantastic bottle of white wine recommended to us by the wine concierge. Thank you, Sea Fire Grill …..!!!!!

    I tried the halibut and it was very over cooked. Not worth the price paid. The prawn appetizer was also overcooked. I thought it would have been a great place had they cooked the fish correctly.

    We loved this restaurant and our meal. Tables were nicely spaced. The tuna tartar and oyster starters were fabulous. But the star was the crab legs!! SO sweet! Graciously taken out of shell. I’ve only had better in Alaska right out of sea. Strongly recommend this excellent restaurant! (And bathrooms even on main floor— not downstairs!)
