Sea Grill, other popular Rockefeller Center restaurants to close in January
A sea change is coming to Rockefeller Center’s dining scene.
The luxurious Sea Grill and two other eateries run by Patina Restaurant Group will close in January when their leases expire, The Post has learned.
The Sea Grill, Rock Center Café and Cucina have been fixtures at the Midtown landmark since the late 1980s. Their sunken-garden locations that face the famous ice rink in winter helped make them a draw to New Yorkers as well as to tourists.
The Sea Grill especially attracted movers and shakers from the surrounding office towers as well as out-of-towners celebrating birthdays.
In summer, the ice rink turns into alfresco seating venues attached to the restaurants. The great statue of Prometheus presides over the scene year-round.
But landlord Tishman Speyer is “now exploring other partners and concepts in food and beverage,” the company said in a statement. “This is a unique moment to develop new ideas for the iconic spaces at Rockefeller Center, and we are still in the early stages of the process.”
The Patina eateries’ current lease was renewed in 1999 and expires at the end of this year. Tishman Speyer said that “we have very much enjoyed many years with Patina.”
