50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Scottsdale

“A wonderful dining experience! Went for Eddie's hour and the food was FANTASTIC! Our server was very attentive and our meal was paced very well! We were celebrating a birthday and the complimentary desert provided was delicious! We will definitely return!“

“We went on a busy Friday night. Thank goodness we had reservations because the restaurant was packed. We were seated right away in a cozy booth for 4. Services was very good. We ordered drinks and appetizers. They came fast. Bread service was a plus and the sourdough rolls are delicious. The oysters were devoured by our group. Calamari was cooked to perfection. There were no left overs. Everyone finished their dinner! We will be back.“

“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.“

“The specials are always, well, special. The seafood is fresh and almost always perfectly prepared and the chefs are creative without being pretentious about it. My two minor complaints are that some of the menu staples - in particular the fish and chips - can be a little inconsistent (I get it, as it's not fun to make compared to some other items) and that the fried shrimp is only a sometimes offering. Would be awesome if that were a regular.“

“Love Pescada - we ate at the oyster bar this time which has been a great add to the area. Beautiful decor. We had the roasted oysters and swordfish skewers to start. Both very good. Next was the octopus salad and clam chowder soup. Both tasty. Entrees were the tuna pasta and pescada winter salad. Both full of flavor. Trey and Cole took good care of us! Look forward to going back soon!“

“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 !“

“One of my favorite spots for happy hour and seafood. It feels like a neighborhood bar in some aspects because it feels just really familiar and everyone there does learn your name. I bring out of town guests here often for the restaurant area, not just the bar and the service is always top notch. It's a gem and I'm very glad it has stood the test of time when all you begin to see are corporate restaurant popping up everywhere.“

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

“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!!!!“

“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!“

“We had the most amazing experience on Valentine’s Day. John L one of the managers went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience. We sat out on the patio to have a drink as we were early for our reservation. The bartender even popped her head out and checked to see if we needed another round. It was the best experience and we have been to many capitol grills around the country.“

“Highly recommend this place. The food has never disappointed—this is my fourth visit as of writing this review, and it’s been consistently excellent every time. Compared to Amelia’s, Grass Roots is in a completely different league. I actually had a burger at Amelia’s last night and left a two-star review; side-by-side, it’s not even close. At Grass Roots, you get more food, better quality, and far better value. The burger here was outstanding, and I’ll absolutely be coming back.“

“they messed with my paycheck and loved bullying me for a year and half“

“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!“

“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!!!!!“

“If you have not visited Francine then you have missed one great culinary experience Chef Remi Lefevre is a world class chef Scottsdale is better because of him“

“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.“

“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“

“Beautiful place and amazing dishes and Cocktails are truly the best! 5 star ⭐️“

“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!“

“The Jade Palace is always efficient, welcoming and on their game. Ate there tonight and the food was delicious. The owner always walks to the tables and asks how things went.. I complemented him on his staffs performance, and he said that he counsels his staff that you have to want to do this. This a good lesson in life. Anything you do, do it like you’re lucky to be in a position to do it. The Jade Palace is a jewel.“

“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!“

“Located a mile from the Four Seasons Scottsdale, there aren’t a lot of good options around Troon. SWAN delivers excellent and fresh sushi. Owned by a Japanese couple, they maintain excellent standards and prices are more than fair.

Full bar and Sapporo on draft for $7.

Nice outdoor terrace with plenty of heaters.

Overall, excellent sushi restaurant with other options including miso black cod, noodles and chicken.“

“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“

“The place was small and empty but we got the chicken fried rice and lo mein. I ate most of the chicken fried rice because that's usually what I get when I go to Chinese restaurants. It was delicious and had a good flavor that was authentic and not bland at all.“

“Mandarin Kitchen is a true hidden gem in Scottsdale. Lady at the counter is very sweet and great sense of humor — genuinely welcoming and happy to have you there. The food comes out hot, fresh, and full of flavor, clearly made to order and never rushed. What really stands out is the pricing: extremely fair for the quality and portion sizes, especially these days. If you’re looking for dependable, delicious Chinese food with great service, Mandarin Kitchen is absolutely worth a visit“

“Pure Sushi is phenomenal. Best sushi in the area for sure, and don’t sleep on the ribs!!“

“Great food and great rum drinks🤙 bartenders are stellar🌸“

“We spent our 47th Anniversary at the Scottsdale Mastro’s and had wonderful service, wonderful food, the best Vodka Martini ever! It is great place to spend ant time at, but especially Special Times! Thank you, Mastro’s for another outstanding experience!“

“Yes!! Awesome Happy Hour food and drinks!! Staff is great 👍“

“Everything was perfect. I never make that statement in a review, until now. From service to food….it was a great experience.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere and cuisine“

“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.“

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