My boyfriend and I had a great experience here. The drinks were great, décor was clean and our server Don was phenomenal. He treated us like family. We ordered grilled octopus, lamb chops, lobster mac and cheese, truffle mash potatoes and halibut(fish). Everything tasted sooo good. What does one eat after dining here? Send help! We'll be back soon!

Food is good. Service on our dinner was rushed-we didn't get to finish our champagne ordered with appetizers when entrees were served. Desserts are not desirable-really? Lemon curd with pecan pie? Must be a New York thing. Pecan Pie itself was not well made.

We came to NYC for the weekend and we’re looking for a seafood place. Someone told us about Sea Fire and we decided to check it out. We had a reservation and they sat us right away. Service was excellent, the staff was vey attentive. Food was good. Beets appetizer was plenty for 2 and good. I had the yellowfin tuna, very nicely done. Wife has pasta with crab meat and she enjoyed it. Food was fresh and hot. Oh and the jumbo asparagus was awesome. I found the prices a little high but that’s to be expected in NYC and specially in today’s environment.
