Feb. 18, 2025: For a superb dining experience, enjoy an evening at The Seafire Grill on the Yonkers waterfront, at 71 Water Grant Street in Yonkers. 914-614-4369

The restaurant is owned by the Benjamin Restaurant Group, which is headed by Benjamin Sinanaj and Benjamin Prelvukaj, who also own Benjamin's Steakhouse in White Plains.

As you enter The Seafire Grill, you'll see the impressive "Wine Wall" as well as the sleek wooden bar. The restaurant is light and inviting, with floor-to-ceiling windows that enable diners to enjoy sweeping views of the George Washington Bridge, the Manhattan skyline, and the Mario Cuomo Bridge. 

The kitchen, headed by the Executive Chef, Arturo McLeod, and his team, specializes in fresh seafood, pasta, and of course, premium steaks and chops. The Raw Bar has, among other dishes, a Seafood Sampler, a Chilled Whole Lobster, Colossal Shrimp, Long Island Little Neck Clams, and a Crabmeat Cocktail.

Our culinary journey started with excellent appetizers, including pan-roasted scallops on top of a celery root puree, followed by Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes with frisee salad, red pepper coulis, tartar sauce, and celery root remoulade. 

Our meal continued with a creative Trofie Pasta with jumbo lump crab meat and cherry tomatoes, and perfectly cooked Blackened Montauk Swordfish, served with Avocado Mousse and Tartar Sauce, and a side of Herb Fries.

For dessert, we enjoyed the Tiramisu with Espresso ice cream and a piece of chocolate candy.

All of the food was exceptional from start to finish.

Our Maitre d, Bekim Frrokaj, was attentive and helpful in clarifying ingredients in our menu choices, which makes The Seafire Grill a 5 Star restaurant!

There is also a special Prix Lunch for $45 per person.  For lunch, I can recommend the Manhattan Clam Chowder, the Lobster Roll,  the Shrimp Salad, and the Junior New York Sirloin.  Lunch is served on Saturday and Sunday, and Dinner is served every night of the week, except. Monday. 

The restaurant also offers Valet Parking, which is another plus.
