Now onto the main topic, the food: This is by far one of the better middle eastern/seafood restaurant in all of Staten Island! The appetizers that were amazing were the chargrilled octopus, which is a MUST-GET, and the half dozen oysters which was by far one of the sweetest oysters we ever had (it was so good we ordered 3 orders!) The tuna tartare, calamari, and lobster bisque were all decent but nothing too special. For entree, the lobster pasta was perhaps one of the best tomato based pasta I ever had! Although the amount of lobster in the dish was on the smaller amount for its price, the flavor was so savory, sweet, and perfectly tangy, highly recommend it! The sea bass was good according to my family, but the flavor was on the milder side in my opinion; they liked it nonetheless so perhaps it's just a personal preference at this point. The lamb shank I would not get due to how overpowering it was; the sauce was salty and intense, where it overwhelmed every part of the dish. It was unfortunate because the lamb was so tender and had a nice proportion between its meatiness and its fat content. The dry aged steak was only okay too, since the spinach was so watery it soaked the steak in its liquid (as you can see from the photo), which detracted from the dish unfortunately. Overall it was a decent dining experience, where some were amazing and others were less so. It's a pricey dining experience but if you get all the right dishes, it's worth the price tag! Definitely recommend giving Sea Bar a try and I can't wait to come back again one day to give them the five stars I know they can definitely accomplish! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

They had the grilled watermelon salad and beets apps also delicious . Bronzino that was given was a hearty amount. The drinks were on point. They sang happy birthday and even though the kitchen was closed they made sure we didn't feel rushed or pressured. Can't wait to come try more and to get the soup again. See you there

For appetizers we had Oysters Rockefeller and Avgolomono Soup. The soup was very good, though the oysters could have used more salt in my opinion. My Dad ordered a drink which, apart from being delicious, came in a very unique cup. The seafood entrees we ordered were tender and fresh, which I could tell because none of them had any noticeably fishy smell. The fillets I ordered were deboned flawlessly. I felt that the fish was cooked just right, and salt and pepper were provided on request. Great value at time of visit. Would recommend and visit again.

Our waitress never mentioned it at all--I only noticed after getting home and reviewing the receipt. Not a huge loss financially, but it's the kind of thing that costs a business repeat customers.

Sadly, I wasn't impressed with it, huge open layout and everything kind of gray but that's just besides the point. My wife and I were celebrating a 41st wedding anniversary. I had remembered wonderful service and the first time we were there years ago. My wife had the filet mignon and I had the double thick pork chops. Her steak was perfectly cooked and delicious, succulent, and thoroughly enjoyable. My pork chops were phenomenal in flavor, presentation, and volume. But they did get the best of me when I tried to lift it, slipping off my fork and splashing gravy all over my off-white shirt. Thankfully, it came out once we got home. No room for dessert. I think we each had a drink. Service was accommodating. I definitely would go back for those pork chops and will wear a bib next time.

I can see why. I was greeted promptly at the door when I entered. Given my choice of table to sit at. Dining room is very nice. Spacious and white table cloths on all of the tables. I ordered the large lamb shish kabob platter. More than enough chunks of lamb. Not tough, very flavorful. It came with rice which was also very flavorful and a very tasty salad. A condiment plate of a yogurt dressing and also a spicy red sauce was brought out first along with a basket of warm bread of some sort that was also very good. You can order the shish kabob platters in a small size also which comes with half as many chunks of meat. I got a baklava assortment (6) to go and ate half today. There were 3 different kinds and all were good. Note: I was the only diner when I entered a little after 6. Not sure why as the food was delicious and the atmosphere is very nice. Maybe Tuesday is a slow night for dining out on Staten Island. Quite a few folks trickled in later for a dinner meeting in the back dining room. Lastly, my server was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. I will definitely return next time I am in town.
