50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Scottsdale

“Had a truly excellent experience yesterday for brunch on the patio. It started with the hostess seating us which was very professional and courteous. Alexis was our server and she was amazing. Found out during the end of our meal that she had only been working there for two days. She was as knowledgeable and professional as she could be. She checked back numerous times to see if we needed anything. The brunch burger was amazing. So many flavors inside one bun! The Bloody Mary’s were spot on! We dont live here but if we did this would be a regular spot for brunch, business dinners or just a great date night! In todays world of lousy service and subpar service, this place is a shining star!!!!!“

“The seafood was great as was the beef entree . Outstanding wine list and white linens with a formal table setting. Our waiter went above and beyond very professional, attentive and helpful with ordering as this was our first time at this eatery . We shall return !“

“Ocean 44 is consistently outstanding , the food is always delicious, beautifully prepared, and there's something for everyone on the menu. The atmosphere is elegant but still warm and welcoming, making every visit feel special. The staff deserves special mention, they're incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. I have a dairy allergy, and they're always careful, helpful, and fully informed, from the server to the food runner. That level of care makes such a difference. It's truly a joy to dine here, and the follow-up call after your visit to ensure your experience was top-notch is such a thoughtful touch. Ocean 44 is one of my absolute favorites!“

“This was our first time here. We were warmly greeted and seated promptly. We asked for and received a booth. We have a short wait for our initial service which was explained, apologized for , and resulted in a couple of complimentary starters. But we came for the fish and it was absolutely delicious. We had halibut and ahi tuna, both great. We were too full for dessert but definitely want to come back again. We will ask for our same server, Jordan. She was personable and efficient.“

“Indulge in one of their amazing cocktails, choose the octopus for the first course, and enter dreamland from there. Last night was the latest A++ dinner where everything was done perfectly, and danced on our tastebuds like magic. A very special place, and there’s a reason why people are inspired to exclaim ‘best meal ever’. Life is short, go this week, Highly recommended.“

“We celebrated 14 BONUS yrs since a major heart attack. We indulged with yummy hot lobster rolls. They had a generous amount of lobster meat and lucious melted butter.
Sides of fries and charred broccoli were just right. A prosecco toast to the future topped off a lovely meal.“

“DOES NOT RECOMMEND Came for lunch & restaurant was empty. Eventually three additional parties came in after us but they all got their complete food orders before us. We reminded the clerk about our orders, but she kept making other people's food & did us last. We will NEVER come again. It took over 75 minutes to get our order. Save yourself the time. Go elsewhere.“

“Service is always fantastic ! Oysters are decent and oyster shooters ! Gumbo is not gumbo at all extremely thick like grits or mashed potato texture it you’re from the south do not order should probably be removed from menu but the etoufee is good and I like how you can control spice level !“

“Best clam chowder I’ve had in a really long time!“

“The good reviews that have been posted are correct. This is our first time we have ate dinner here. We were there for our wedding anniversary.
The waiter and staff are excellent. The food was excellent and plentiful. We took more than half our meal home and left stuffed.
For us this a great place for a special occasion.“

“Love my bday celebration at Red Lobster!!“

“We just love Angry Crab. My Boyfriend and I go there all the time.“

“Supposedly a high end steak house, the only thing high end are the prices and egos of their management team. Many better dining alternatives.“

“I just spent my first time going to Ocean 44 and I must say, this is one of the best restaurants I had ever been to. When I took my wife there they really took care of us. Any questions we had about the menu they made sure they walked us through the whole menu so knew how everything works. They took care of us just as good as being at a life loan Doctors office. I definitely recommend this place and especially to take your date to.“

“Amazing food, excellent service authentic French cuisine!!!!“

“Our first visit to Grassroots. The service was great - friendly, efficient. Two people tried the Vegetable Chop Salad - loved it. I had the Ahi Tuna Salad - delicious but could have had more tuna for $28. The Miso salmon and Blackened Redfish were also enjoy. We didn't sit on the patio as it was cold but it looked nice. Great find!“

“This is one of the best places to dine in Scottsdale. It quiet so you can carry on a conversation with your guests. The food is excellent and the wine list is great. The service is always outstanding. We always pick it for special occasions. I would eat there everyday if I could.“

“This place is amazing. Very good food , very very friendly staff, good music and the right level. The lighting was even perfect. The late night Seen is the best seven to close. Very easy-going very chill Tuesday night. The food is very good. The staff is super polite and it’s tucked away off the beaten path. How good the food is mixed in with the atmosphere. Hands-down, one of the best hidden little gems in Scottsdale. I don’t write these that much. I’m not drunk either. ;) but very good food and very nice people with a solid atmosphere!“

“I windsurfed Maui for years. Honeymooned there. 16th birthday for my daughter. This place reminds me of Paia and Malawian. Such a friendly attitude. The food was awesome. It’s not like Mama’s fish house more quaint.“

“Even without sampling the food on this latest visit, it’s clear why this place remains one of the area’s most consistently buzzing destinations. The energy alone tells the story—tables filled, glasses clinking, and a steady rhythm of conversation that signals a spot beloved by locals and visitors alike. The drinks program continues to impress. Wines are well-selected, offering both dependable varietals and intriguing pours for those who enjoy exploring beyond the usual. Cocktails are balanced and thoughtfully executed—nothing overwrought, just smartly made and enjoyable. Service matches the standard: efficient, friendly, and tuned in without hovering. The only recurring frustration lies in the seating—finding a comfortable spot, especially with a party larger than two, can feel like winning a small lottery. Still, once seated, it’s easy to see why so many linger well into the evening. Bottom Line: A go-to destination for happy hour and casual wine gatherings. Excellent drinks, a convivial crowd, and lively ambiance—just be prepared to wait a bit for that perfect table. Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) – Exceptional drinks and atmosphere; minor seating woes keep it from perfection.“

“In addition to having the best seafood in the entire state, they also have a very warm and friendly staff. We come every weekend and its worth every penny!“

“Love all the options here--so many fresh add-ins!“

“Simple yet amazing!!! Me and my family had a wonderful experience for lunch today. From the appetizers to the lunch meal, you couldn’t go wrong with anything you ordered! One of the best meals I’ve had since being here.“

“We just discovered Swan Sushi after living in the area over a year and wish it hadn’t have taken us so long! They have a really great wine selection and nice choice of sushi rolls. Best shishito peppers we’ve had for a while. Service was outstanding. We will be back!“

“This is was one of the best dinners I have had in a long time! Everything from the location, service and food was on point. We went to celebrate the birthday of one of our friends and were very impressed with all this place had to offer. The cocktails were stiff and delicious. The appetizers were plentiful and the main course I had the attitude adjustment and the wife had the illicit affair. With dessert I had to get the expresso martini. I had the Wagyu Ribeye and it was spectacular. Paired with mashed potatoes my wife had the grilled salmon with potatoes gratin. So many good dishes the peeps we were with ordered it was hard to keep up. Cannot wait to go back and celebrate soon! - Javi (Yelp Elite / All Star)“

“I always make it a priority to find great Indian restaurants in the cities I visit and live in; Masala Indian Cuisine did not disappoint.

I ordered the chicken mughlai, vegetable samosas, and naan. All three dishes tasted amazing and were cooked perfectly. The service was also undeniably incredible.

This is now my go-to Indian restaurant in Scottsdale.“

“I was here for my birthday 8/25/24 with my girlfriend. It was an absolute delight! I had the grass fed ribeye, medium well, and it was probably the best steak I've ever had. That's saying a lot for a guy living and being from Chicago. The ambience was top notched and the customer service was great! I can't wait until I'm back in AZ, I will definitely return here. This is a 5 star restaurant. -Marcus“

“Everything is incredible here! Jonathon was a wonderful host for the Garden Spritz Lunch Event, and Jason from Bacardi added unique info and insights into all the creative drink offerings. Please offer more of these, especially a bourbon offering in October!“

“We went to Jade Palace for my birthday. I was hoping to get the dish that I used to get - shrimp, scallops, snow peas, mushrooms in a light sauce. I think it used to be called Happy Family. It appears that they took it off the menu, but I mentioned it to the server and she checked with the manager. They were able to make it! My husband got broccoli & beef (very tender) and we got spring rolls. The server brought me a dessert with candle. Best service we have had for a long time“

“A Culinary Gem in Arizona! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Qwik Chinese just delivered the best Chinese food I've had in Arizona, hands down! My two brothers and I had an incredible meal, and every dish was absolutely amazing.

I dove into the Mongolian Beef, and it was perfectly tender with just the right amount of spice and savory flavor. My brothers raved about the General Tso's Chicken and the Kung Pao Chicken, both packed with authentic taste and cooked to perfection.

The freshness and quality of the ingredients really shone through. This isn't just good Chinese food; it's a truly outstanding dining experience. If you're in Arizona and craving top-tier Chinese, you have to try Qwik Chinese!“

“Wicked Seafood & Meats is an awesome place to get fresh fish and other meat. The friendly staff and quality of the products makes it worthwhile even if it's out of your way! One of the few places you can buy fresh Grouper. So glad we found this place!“

“I have celiac and we are traveling cross county right now and I’m trying as many dedicated gf spots as I can. This was a really special dinner. We ordered at least 8 items off the menu because everything looked so amazing. Everything was very top notch and, to me, somehow tased both familiar and something you couldn’t quite place, in a good way. We tried appetizers, main courses and a couple of desserts and I absolutely everything was amazing! Thanks for a great meal!“

“Hands down our favorite restaurant in Scottsdale! BYOB is the added bonus however Atlas has an amazing selection of great wines for purchase. Chef Jabari is incredibly talented. His food is delectable and his presentations are absolutely beautiful. This intimate restaurant is a MUST try for foodies!l“

“On this day I celebrated my 73rd Birthday. The evening was perfect, and the waitress who handle my private booth made it happen. She was gracious, knowledgeable, and respectful in handling my disabled daughter. My wife and daughter had a wonderful experience. I waited two years and it was worthwhile the wait. Thank you for giving me my special night. June 16, 2022. Clarence E. Forster, Sr“

“When we order takeout from Red House, they always go over it to make sure it's complete and specific requests are followed. Food is always delicious and fulfilling, and service is like best friends!“

“Great place to eat! Tottie rolls are something to try.“

“The Krispy Crunchy Chicken is located inside the Shell Station and if you haven't tried it, you should because it's good stuff. I suggest their honey mustard sauce for dipping, good stuff too.I think they only serve Mon- Fri till 1 or 2pm and not serving Saturday and Sunday. I highly suggest giving it a try, definitely worth the price.“

“Fantastic service and Fantastic food. Management in servers are the best.“

“I come here quite often with my family. The food is always amazing and the portions are very fair.
Only reason I'm giving it only 4 stars is because the employees didn't seem happy to be there and while they were nothing bad they were more just...indifferent I would say is the best way to describe it. I recommend take out rather than eating in.
Just think there should of more energy around the place. I understand that someone times it's just a way to pay the bills but providing a happy atmosphere and service it's what keep people coming back the food too of course lo.“

“Great food, great service. Took the family out and had an enjoyable evening. i will be coming back with family and friends“

“We enjoyed the atmosphere, even though we did not have reservations we were seated within 10 min. The wait staff (Wolfe and Cayden) were very courteous and professional. The food was outstanding, we particularly enjoyed the tuna tartar appetizer, but everything else (grouper, salmon, mushrooms) was delicious. I mentioned it was my wife's birthday, and they brought out a beautiful little Signature Butter Cake. This was a wonderful dining experience for us, we will we back!“

“Just stopped for dinner was busy and they even ran out of chicken and had alittle wait. Wasnt that bad about 10 minutes after ordered. Food came hot fresh and very good. Manager even came to table to apologise for the wait, Told her no big deal on the wait as its a friday night prime dinner time 6:00pm. Was nice she stopped over though.“
