New Uptown seafood restaurant will import fish weekly from Greece

Sea Grill is the latest restaurant opening this summer in what was formerly the EpiCentre .

Why it matters: Queen City Quarter is starting to make a comeback with back-to-back restaurant openings in recent weeks.

• The family-run restaurant will open steps away from Kitchen + Kocktails and Lottie's Cafe which both opened in June.

The vibe: The 9,300 square-foot restaurant seats about 250 people across its two floors.

• It also has two private dining rooms — one on each floor.

"It'll feel like two restaurants operating out of one place," its owners tell Axios.

Dig in: Expect a large menu with global influences fused by two chefs who are each skilled in Asian and European cuisines.

• The dishes will include seafood options such as sushi and pasta, as well as items from the grill like steaks, including beef wellington.
• Specialty dishes include large shareable plates such as a three-pound fish imported from Greece weekly, squid ink pasta and a seafood platter featuring king crab and lobster.
• They'll have about 15 cocktails, an extensive wine list, tea and coffee.

What's next: Sea Grill Restaurant & Bar will open by the end of July at 210 E Trade St ., across from Lottie's Cafe.

• It'll be open Monday through Thursday 11am-10pm and Friday through Sunday 10am-10pm.

Here's a look at some of the food:
