50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Scottsdale

“Came in for Restaurant week, and boy was it busy! I sat at the bar, and people were waiting for seats even after I left. They did a great job serving, and moving food quickly. I had the caesar salad, filet, asparagus, added mash potatoes, and creme brulee for desert. Yum. Chatted with people at bar, and bartenders very accommodating. Really enjoyed the experience and atmosphere.“

“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.“

“This was the first time dining at Lure and it certainly will not be the last. Everything about the restaurant from the decor, ambience, menu, amazing service,(Thank you Zach!), and food was just perfect. Zach’s gentle recommendations and slight changes to meet our preferences made for the most delicious dishes. The standout was the Cioppino served with a side of pasta. Thank you for such a wonderful birthday celebration. We are hooked!!“

“Love Chula’s! It’s usually laid-back and not too crowded, with consistently great food. Their specials are often unique—and always delicious! The salmon dip to go is BOMB and has a little spice kick! Service at the bar can occasionally be a bit slow, but overall, we love this place!“

“There was no problem with our reservation and we we seated immediately. The server Kalia was excellent and went over the menu and made some helpful suggestions. We were there to celebrate our 60th Wedding Anniversary and it was delightful! We highly recommend Pescada for for Mediterranean food. My wife's Chilean Seabass was really good and the Seafood Paella was the same. Can't wait to sample the yummy variety of food on their menu. GREAT PLACE TO DINE!“

“Came by for a snack and drink! Kat the bartender made me an amazing michelada and the shrimp pozole was absolutely phenomenal!! I will definitely be back. Alex the manager checked in with me multiple times and made sure I had an amazing experience.“

“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.“

“Love my bday celebration at Red Lobster!!“

“Chef Mary and Cater really knocked it out of the park with both the food and service. Our group had the chowder, crawfish étouffée, mussels, and seafood smoked dip… WOW. We had never experienced seafood steaming-style cooking before and it was such a fun experience. The Cajun and Creole flavors were absolutely dynamite. We walked right in around 8:00 PM with a group of four and had a great time. Definitely recommend, especially if you’ve never tried this style of food preparation before!“

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

“For almost 20 years we've talked about checking this place out when we drive past, then forget it existed. Wife took me for my birthday this last weekend and its likely to become a tradition.

Everything was amazing. Honestly I got the lobster and remembered why I dont order lobster typically. Just not worth it for what you get but the 4-5 good bites you get were amazing. Very fresh and great flavor. Everything else we had was the real star. From the salad, appetizers and drinks were top notch. Try the thousand island dressing. I trusted my waiter, even though its not typically my favorite dressing and he was right. Its delicious.

If you love lobster you cant go wrong if you're like me and prefer a little more food there are plenty of great non lobster items to choose from. My wife had scallops that were some of the best ive tasted. Its definitely on the pricier side but worth it for an occasional treat.“

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

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

“Everything was so good. The Lamb Chips were to die for. The Prosciutto wrapped mozzarella was absolutely amazing. The steak was really good and love the Moscato that they have. Everyone who had come by our table was really sweet and super nice.“

“This was our first time to this restaurant and greatly enjoyed the food! The salmon was perfectly done and the salad was complex but the dressing tied it all together! My husband had the brisket and enjoyed it, could have been smokier. The grits and beans were excellent. The service was good, waitress friendly and knowledgeable but a little slow to come back to the table at the end. Craft cocktails were very tasty with great social hour pricing. Sat on patio but it was too warm and the sun was in our eyes the entire meal. Our biggest issue was that they don’t accept cash. Why? Saw it on the very fine print at the bottom of the menu after we tried to pay cash and were told we couldn’t. We will not visit this establishment again because of this.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“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!!!!!“

“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“

The food was delicious and all of it would be re-ordered again at a future date. We highly recommend Swan Sushi for anyone looking for delicious food and great service in a comfortable and clean setting- we'll be back again in the future!“

“Ordered take out at a work conference close by & food was delicious. I got the chicken lo mein & chicken egg roll. Perfectly flavored and the portion was HUGE. Well worth the cost. I’m super picky so this place is legit good. Haha. My only down side was I wasn’t given utensils in my take out bag but thankfully I found some at my hotel.“

“Allergy Friendly, great service and atmosphere.“

“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“

“It is literally a WONDERFUL jewel! The food is absolutely the best this side of NYC! No Chinese food restaurant can compete! The service is ALWAYS top notch, and Hugh together with Sarah is so attentive to their customer base, can you tell we love them? The best egg rolls, Awesome, the ribs, crave them, it’s truly hard to say they are all our favorite! Thank you Jade Palace for EVERYTHING! ♥“

“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.“

“I have been going here for more than a decade and today went back for the King Pao Chicken lunch plate. It was amazing! The cheese in the fried wonton melted in my mouth and the entree was tasty and a generous portion. It came with fried rice and the eggs were light and fluffy. Thank you!“

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

“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.
