About this business

The Sea Grill aims to serve fish good enough to please the palates of the most discerning New York foodies and it succeeds admirably. Seared Skate Wing and braised Monk fish occupy the menu alongside spicy tuna rolls and salmon sashimi. Those who prefer the land route can have an excellent dry-aged steak, although options for either vegetarians or those not in the mood for fish remain limited. Sit inside a trendy, upscale decor, or outside and enjoy the view of the Rockefeller Center ice rink.

View is sweet – Just went there for restaurant week. Menu was fairly limited in terms of choices but the selections were good. Everything we ate tasted very unique and well done. I loved the crunchy salmon as it was perfectly cooked and not overly tasty. The view of the rink is awesome. A GREAT date place...if you can afford it.

Excellent – The Sea Grill is an excellent sea food restaurant. They have a large selection of sea food that you can order al carte that is served over ice. Extremely delious. Everyone that I dined with was very happy with the entire meal. One wall of the restaurant is a large glass window which is level with the ice skating rink at Rockefellar center. For the atmosphere, this is a great place to come during the winter months while people are skating. During the holidays a reservation is a must. This is a great place to come ... read more

Tourist trap good enough for New Yorkers – I am a bit skeptical about going to 'touristy' places, but I have to admit, Sea Grill is a great place to dine. It makes you appreciate New York. The restaurant is below street level and just about every table faces the well-known ice skating rink in Rockefeller Center. Obviously I would not come here during the holiday season although I would imagine it to be nicer then with all the holiday decorations. For a 'touristy' place, the food was excellent as was the service. The chef is ... read more

Par for the course – The Sea Grill is a decent seafood restaurant right in Rockefeller Center. While there are better places to get your fill of fish, this place offers a unique combination of scenery (the ice skating rink), ambiance and quality to satisfy many. Big negatives: this place is always very crowded, and many of the tables are quite close together. In addition, you have to endure the rush of the Rock Center basement to get to the restaurant.

wonderful service, exceptional food – In my book, The Sea Grill ranks as one of the top sea food restaurants in the city. The food is extraordinarily fresh and not over-prepared. While the location is not great (at Rock Center), the crowd is sophisticatd, not over touristy.

Tourist-Trap – If you want good seafood, this is NOT the place to go, you'll have better luck at Aqua Grille or Esca. This place was overcrowded, overpriced, and the kitchen was all out of several of the only decent sounding items on the menu. The mediocre salmon tartare wouldn't make up for all that was sub-par. Second experience, second disappointment. If you want to start your night with a tater-tot hors d'oeuvre, and/or have a hangar steak that "still had marks where the jockey was hitting it", then this is your place- M... read more

Incredible meal – My friend and I went to the Sea Grill on a balmy summer evening before heading to the theater. Our outdoor seats were perfect...close enough to enjoy the bustling NYC crowds but somehow also quiet enough for us to enjoy our conversation. The service was, quite simply, perfect. Attentive but never overbearing, and we were allowed to linger without ever feeling rushed (maybe because we continued to order champagne?) The food was top notch, and the little extras much appreciated. I can't recommend this restaur... read more
