David Burke Discusses SeaHawk Prime with Nation’s Restaurant News
Chef David Burke joined the editors of Nation’s Restaurant News for a conversation about SeaHawk Prime, his approach to menu development and the evolving restaurant industry.
In the January 2026 interview, Burke discusses the opening of SeaHawk Prime at Nautilus 220 and what continues to inspire his cooking after more than four decades in the restaurant business. The conversation also explores food trends, menu pricing and the balance between creativity, guest expectations and operating a successful restaurant.
SeaHawk Prime marks Burke’s first Florida venture, bringing his boundary-pushing approach to modern American dining to the Lake Park waterfront. Located overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway, the restaurant combines a marina-front setting with a menu built around Burke’s patented salt-aged steaks, fresh Florida seafood, sushi and signature dishes that have followed the chef throughout his career.
For Burke, menu development remains at the center of the experience. At SeaHawk Prime, recognizable signatures are joined by dishes designed for South Florida, creating a restaurant that reflects both his culinary history and its waterfront surroundings.
