Sea Grill, Avalon

Sea Grill has something going for it that is hard to beat - location! It's located on the ground level of Rockefeller Center, with large glass windows looking out at that world famous statue of Prometheus. The restaurant is beautiful, it's full of glass and light blue and green tones. It almost feels like you are inside an ice palace. During the winter months the view of the ice rink at Rockefeller Center and the view is magical. You sit in this almost ice palace and watch the skaters glide by the windows. Our service was good. Our food arrived in a timely manner and our waitress knew the menu and was enthusiastic about the food. The food was just okay. I had the seafood chowder which I was told they were known for. It was fine, but not great. I will hardly remember it a week from now. I can't complain about it, it was just okay. I had a cold lobster salad which was also good. I had a lot of lobster, but once again it was not rememberable, but certainly nothing to complain about. The price is steep here and not a bargain. The star here is the view and having a lunch here around Christmas is magic. The food is just all right, but you are not here for the food, but the location. I would go back anytime around Christmas - it's magic. I would not expect a great meal, but a good one. It's worth the pricey price!

This is my favorite restaurant in Cape May County, let alone Avalon. I love choosing the size of tenderloin fillet, piling my Fiesta chop plate with the complementary salad bar of baby greens etc and waiting for my steak to which I add their different and very delicious Bearnaise sauce. While I usually don't order sides as I fill up on steak and salad, I understand that their creamed spinach is wonderful.
