This place was amazing!. No B/S, No Gimmicks just Fresh, Top Quality Product cooked to perfection. We ate at the bar because we didn’t have reservations Benny our Bartender was outstanding. We had the Tomahawk Steak and Bronzino both just perfect.

We had an absolutely excellent experience at The Seafire Grill. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. For appetizers, we ordered the hamachi sashimi, tuna tartare, octopus, and grilled shrimp — every single dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The ambience was very nice, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing and enjoyable dinner. There was no wait time, and the service was truly top-notch. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. For our main courses, we had the filet mignon and the ribeye, both cooked to absolute perfection. We also ordered the truffle fries and lobster mac and cheese, which were both excellent and complemented the steaks perfectly. Overall, the experience was wonderful, and the service was exceptional. We will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!

Sea Fire Grill on on E48 th St, near 3rd Ave. NYC. Clean and quiet contemporary American seafood restaurant with gas fireplace in the rear. We came on a Saturday night. Clients mostly couples and families.I had split pea soup, halibut, French fries & apple strudel. All quite nice. My wife had a glass of (French) Pinot Noir, mesclun salad, duck, Tiramisu. Duck was ok but just ok. The others pretty good. On this chilly March evening the fireplace added warmth to the atmosphere.

The food was AMAZING! The service was even MORE AMAZING! Jaime was our waiter, and while we didn't think anything about the place or the food could be made better, the experience of having Jaime serve us - his attention to detail and intention to ensure we were happy and satisfied with everything one expects to have when they dine-out - pushed our desire to give a 6 STAR review for service - but the most you can give is a 5 STAR review.................so we are forced to make note of his STELLAR service in the text portion of our review! We would recommend Sea Fire to anyone/everyone seeking to have an outstanding restaurant experience and also strongly suggest they request Jaime as their server! GREAT TIME HAD BY ALL of us who wined and dined here! We will be back again, and again, and again!

This was a great find on a random after work happy hour search. The ambiance is very cool and the drinks are well priced. Free popcorn is a huge plus! There is a good amount of seating in the back and usually quiet enough to chat with friends if you go for happy hour on Mondays, other days of the week can get a little more crowded.

Wandered into this bar because of the pretty lights and the good deals and the vibes were immaculate! Cozy interior with a few TVs and good drinks deals. We got a free bowl of popcorn to snack on while imbibing and overall had a great time. The cocktails are decent, but nothing mind-blowing which makes sense given the low price point. Come check it out!

Had a great experience a few days ago while visiting the city. The attention was great, the vibe of the place is good. I sat at the bar and did not order any food, only drinks. I'd definitely come back.

Great dive bar with comfortable couches in the back. Free popcorn while big screen sports is on. Nice cocktail selection!

Snafu… more like best bar in the area! Best service ever. Veronica (one of the bartenders) sets the vibe with an amazing playlist, some of the best music I’ve heard at a bar. The feeling you get when you walk into this bar is extremely unique and it gives off amazing energy you can only find at Snafu. 12$ espresso tinis, 8$ casa amigos shots. What more can you ask for in a bar. Oh wait, I almost forgot…. Beer pong tables downstairs and free popcorn while you drink! Bail on the movie theatre's, come to snafu.

Cute little bar! We loved the outdoor seating and the popcorn! Bella and Reggie looked after us and they were both amazing! We will definitely be back

This was my first time coming here and I really enjoyed it. They give free popcorn and their happy hour deals are very good. Everyone here is sweet and I love the interior. My friend randomly picked this place to watch some tennis, but we def will be back! Shoutout to Aryna and Veronica, very sweet people

Havina Basil

First time here and the vibes are impeccable. The service was very good even though it was a bit busy. I drank the aperol spritz, moscow mule and cabernet. They were yummy! Erina is a great manager! Veronica did a great job making drinks.

Very cute bar, beer pong on the lower level, comfy couches in the upper level, free popcorn with drinks Drink was decent but not stellar Pretty loud

Nathan Klaassen

Unique place with a great vibe to it. Drinks are fairly priced, great atmosphere and music and even give you popcorn with your drinks

Megan Bhatti

I got the white elderflower cosmo and I must say I wasn’t really tasting the elderflower. It was still a good drink nun the less. The atmosphere is really cozy and the drinks are well priced. I love that you get free popcorn with your drinks it’s a clever concept. You even get to customize a one dollar bill and tape it to the wall which was fun to do with friends.

This place is cool. Beer pong in the basement. Super attentive service. Fun social crown.

Amazing service and atmosphere. The drinks are relatively cheap and we were able to get a great table for our group. Seasoned popcorn is served to you nonstop, and it's so yummy. Downstairs you can help yourself to beer pong and other bar games. Great place to bring a group and save money.

My friend and I visited Snafu 1/6/24 after seeing “Six.” We didn’t know what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised. Walking in, we knew we were in the right place as the DJ was playing a great mix of one of our faves. And, the music kept getting better as the evening progressed! Our bartender Lila was busy, but still made time to be friendly and didn’t complain when we inadvertently ordered the most complicated (and delicious) drinks on the menu (see video.) The crowd was lively and diverse… sometimes unruly, but the manager and staff kept them cool and under control. I suspect they were typical Saturday regulars, otherwise they might have been tossed. Will definitely come back when I return to NY. Put it on your list!

Good food and great service. Sommelier in the house and did a great job recommending wine pairing with foods. Lobster Bisque was too salty and small amount of lobster bits. Filet mignon was done well, medium rare, juicy, tender and tasty.

Amazing appetizers, I didn’t like the lobster much. But the Spanish octopus and the scallops were amazing.

Good atmosphere with outdoor seating on nice evenings. Service was spotty and the drinks weren't great though

Great casual mid-town bar. Solid drinks and good service. Staff is attentive and accommodating. Lots of great seating, nice bar area, and games downstairs like beer pong. Dope after work spot if you want solid HH specials (at least by mid town standards), a casual vibe and a good time.

Josh Levey

Laid back bar in Midtown. Inside is dimly lit with multiple floors and loud music. Outside they have a nice dog friendly patio seating area. Drinks were just ok, bartenders were friendly.

Justin Hayworth

Buzzing dive bar for the Midtown East happy hour crowd. Free popcorn to go with your drinks. Lots of happy specials. Servers are super friendly!

We went to have a nice enjoyable dinner at The Seafire grill . The name itself was already very inviting especially if you like a seafood. It was a Holliday evening and we expected to have a great time with the delicious food. We met a relaxing atmosphere, classic interior with white tablecloth, candles and nice tableware, welcoming space with the dimmed lights. The menu printing was hard to read but staff was very welcoming and gave us some guidelines. I highly appreciate that the music was not loud and we could have a pleasant conversation. The basket of warm bread with butter, olive oil and spread was served as complement from the beginning. The order included two appetisers: Jumbo Lamp crab cake and Spanish octopus. Spanish octopus was the star dish, very well seasoned and balanced with vegetables and the most tender and juicy meat. We enjoyed it very much. I cannot say l like a crab cake. It was very dense, hard with few sauces which were plain and didn’t complement the dish in any way. The pillow of sliced celery root under cake was dry and tough to chew. Not really enjoyable combination. For a main course we chose a classic: a piece of fish and a piece of beef, and it was a disappointment. The piece of beef that we got cannot be served as bone in ribeye for $90. It felt as several times defrosted meat with the texture of paper. Just look at the picture. The side you should order separately. And we did. Fries. No words. The other entree was fish of the day: fresh catches: filet of Striped bass served on sauced Brussels sprouts. Taste of cabbage was extensive sour, overwhelming with balsamic vinegar and the fish was dry, unflavoured and the it had a greyish color. I know my review sounds harsh. Maybe it was that restaurant’s bad day, not great products delivery, anything? But over $300 check for two with such quality is unacceptable. The restaurant was almost empty with just few tables occupied. I give 3 stars for just a such a nice place, great location, carrying personal and future positive perspectives.

Really wanted to like this place. It's a nice location and has a lovely fireplace at the back. We had the branzino and the swordfish along with the creamed spinach, lobster bisque and burrata. All of it was just average. Disappointing for the price.

My husband and I decided to try Sea Fire Grill based on a recommendation from a friend. We made a reservation for 5 PM via OpenTable before heading to a Broadway show at 7 PM. When we arrived, there were a few tables occupied, but it wasn't too busy. The hostess seated us at a table directly in front of the fireplace, which was perfect until they started seating other parties uncomfortably close to us. This was odd, considering there were plenty of other available tables. The proximity of the two parties made our dining experience less enjoyable due to the loud conversations surrounding us. Despite our efforts to tune them out, it was challenging. Initially, the service was good, but it declined as the night went on, despite the restaurant not being particularly busy. We started with a special appetizer: a large grilled prawn. While it was good, it lacked flavor and seasoning. For cocktails, we ordered an Old Fashioned and an Espresso Martini, both of which were pretty good. For our entrees, we decided to split the surf and turf, along with Brussels sprouts and lobster mac and cheese as sides. We requested our steak to be cooked medium; however, some parts were medium while others were medium-well. The seafood that accompanied the steak was flavorless, tasting as though it had only been blanched in water. On a positive note, the sides were quite tasty, with the Brussels sprouts being our favorite. Overall, our experience was a bit lackluster.

This was our third time visiting. The atmosphere is great but the food is overpriced and bland. When we went years ago, the food was better. I do remember liking he atmosphere better than the food. This visit I had to send back the tuna; the bok choy was boring and flavorless. It was an easy dish to make well. Mgmt was great and highly professional about returning it, but my server seemed politely annoyed. The salmon was better but the black rice was a little hard. The lobster and prawn were okay but bland as well. I have had fresher seafood at other places in the city. The drinks are delicious. For the high prices, the food should be better. Maybe it used to be better flavors but I won’t be returning.

Mixed feelings. Place is nice, vibe Is great. But I noticed a new bartender came in for her shift. Came from the street. Never washed her hands. Was touching her nose, her shorts, was looking for a cutting board, never found it. And started cutting limes to fill a jar right on a mat. After watching this, I don’t to be here anymore. Disgusting

This bartender was incredibly rude and humiliating. When I ordered a dirty martini, she told me, “I’m not going to make that, it’s too complicated, ask someone else.” There was only one other bartender. She then went over, whispered something to her while staring at me, and after that they both completely ignored me on purpose. They kept taking orders from everyone except me. She even made ten tequila sodas for someone who walked up after I had already been waiting. When she finally finished and was standing right in front of me, I politely asked if I could get a vodka soda instead. She suddenly yelled, “CAN YOU WAIT UNTIL I’M DONE?” so aggressively that even in the noisy bar a few people turned their heads. It was completely unnecessary and honestly embarrassing. I felt so humiliated I just left. No one should be treated like that at a bar, especially in a place that’s supposed to be enjoyable and is only two minutes from my house. Being ignored and yelled at like that ruined the whole experience and management should tell her that this is unacceptable.
