The Heart Behind Sea Bar
Executive Chef
Amidst the gastronomical capital of the country, there is one person who single-handedly taught Americans the culinary importance of how to cook seafood. Chef Gregory Zapantis’ name can be found in the heart of every upscale establishment that elevated seafood cuisine into gastronomical art.
A long line of distinctions and awards attests to his many accomplishments and underlines that he is still driven by the same modesty and creative drive as he did when he first ventured into Manhattan’s culinary world two decades ago.
In 2011, Chef Gregory Zapantis was inducted by the Hellenic Chef’s Club and named the first Culinary Ambassador to Greece in North America—an honor presented by the leading chefs of his home country.

Fishing with his father from the age of six shaped Chef Greg’s lifelong love of the sea. At Sea Bar, he brings that joy, knowledge and passion for cooking seafood to a neighborhood close to home.
