· Greek restaurant

Polished Greek-leaning seafood spot with standout hospitality and event-friendly space, but food quality and billing consistency vary widely; go for fresh fish and service, be cautious with prices.
Why it gets a C+ for overall quality
Sea Grill delivers excellent service and attractive setting that earn genuine praise, but uneven food quality—fresh branzino one night, bland or overcooked dishes the next—prevents a higher grade. Inconsistent execution and isolated food safety concerns create reliability issues that offset the warm hospitality and elegant Merrick Park location. Worth visiting for celebrations or fresh whole fish, but expect variability.
Restaurant Summary
Set inside Merrick Park, Sea Grill feels elegant yet relaxed—a chic room offset by a lively patio and mall energy. Service earns repeated praise, with guests noting, "our server made the night feel special." However, expect uneven execution on busy evenings and occasional noise drifting through the promenade. The cooking leans Greek seafood with Italian touches—think branzino, saganaki, and lobster pasta—more elevated traditional than boundary-pushing. When the kitchen is on, grilled fish runs fresh and generous; when off, plates skew bland or overcooked, so stick to the classics and day’s freshest catch. Families do fine here thanks to familiar pastas and fries, shareable dips, and friendly staff. There is no clear kids menu in reviews, but simple dishes are easy to assemble. Prices run high, so align expectations and confirm any service charges before you order.
