The recently renovated American ‘Sea’ Grill now sports a more contemporary décor with warm colors, mahogany wood, large antique vases and petrified bonsai plants in china containers. It seats 150 people, yet maintains a quiet sense of cozy intimacy with upper and lower seating areas. It features a buffet and a la carte menu at breakfast, and lunch and dinner service daily, plus a children’s menu; children under five eat free. The emphasis of the menu is seafood, but there are plenty of offerings for every taste. The chef combines ingredients and seasonings in innovative ways, based on this experience in restaurants around the world, notably along the Pacific Rim. He uses locally grown ingredients whenever possible and his own fresh herbs cultivated on the roof. The wine list features 50 selections, including the Thrifty 30 featuring 30 wines under $30, and the Cellar Collection with impressive labels commanding $60 to $175. The restaurant offers eight wines by the glass. A single malt scotch menu is available for after dinner savoring.

The adjacent Club Room is available for private parties and seats up to 50 people.
