Everything about Sea Fire was outstanding- the scrumptious food, the attentive service, attention to detail, the overall atmosphere. Starting with the lightly battered & fried soft shell crab over salsa to the bronzino for me, mesclun salad with a hint of dressing & filet mignon for my landlubber husband were prepared to perfection. The whole evening was sheer pleasure. Thank you.

I asked medium for salmon, but it was almost rare I asked server to cook well but he insisted that was medium so I had to eat rare The table was not a nice table. The restaurant was almost empty, so they could offer us a bigger table but they did not.

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!
