The Sea Fire Grill Will Light Up The Yonkers Waterfront This Summer

YONKERS, NY — Hudson Valley foodies rejoice — when one door closes, a new culinary experience is soon to open.

The Benjamin Restaurant Group just announced that it will be launching The Sea Fire Grill in Yonkers this summer, at 71 Water Grant Street, on the historic Yonkers City Pier.

The upscale restaurant will be taking over the space where X2O Xaviars on the Hudson used to be. The owners say that the restaurant, along with its stunning views of the Hudson River, will bring "an elevated dining experience to the heart of Westchester."

Benjamin is a familiar name in these parts. The family-owned and operated restaurant group was founded in 2006 by servers-turned-restaurateurs, Benjamin Prelvukaj and Benjamin Sinanaj. They have since established the Benjamin Steakhouse, Benjamin Prime, The Sea Fire Grill in Manhattan, and the Benjamin Steakhouse Westchester.

The group's restaurants have earned praise from celebrities such as Anna Wintour, Mariah Carey, and Roger Federer and devoted regulars.

"We are absolutely thrilled to bring The Sea Fire Grill to Yonkers and become a part of this vibrant and growing community," Benjamin Sinanaj and Benjamin Prelvukaj said. "Our goal is to create a space where locals and visitors alike can enjoy exceptional seafood, premium steaks, and unparalleled hospitality. With the stunning backdrop of the Hudson River from the historic Yonkers City Pier, we’re excited to contribute to the rich culinary scene of Yonkers and ensure every guest leaves with a memorable dining experience, feeling warmly welcomed and right at home with us."

Executive Chef Arturo McLeod will lead the kitchen at The Sea Fire Grill Yonkers, with a menu celebrating "contemporary American seafood crafted from the finest ingredients," all served in "chic, inviting surroundings, with the impeccable service that defines every Benjamin Restaurant Group venue."

The concept will feature a raw bar, traditional caviar service, seasonally inspired fresh catches, and, of course, the prime dry-aged steaks and chops that the Benjamin name has become famous for.

"This five-star premiere, family-owned restaurant will attract residents and foodies from across the region, showcasing our city’s exceptional waterfront and views. The Sea Fire Grill surely will become a culinary destination for all."
