50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Scottsdale

“Eddie V’s was hands down one of the best dining experiences we’ve had all year! The food was outstanding from start to finish. The crab cake was absolutely delicious—packed with crab and perfectly prepared.

The service was exceptional. Our waiter, Tony, was attentive without being intrusive, always available when we needed something, and offered excellent recommendations that made our meal even better.

The restaurant itself is modern, elegant, and inviting. The live music added the perfect atmosphere and elevated the entire experience.

From the food to the service to the ambiance, everything was top-notch. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Eddie V’s for a special night out.“

“This was my first visit to Lure.
The happy hour menu and pricing was excellent! The char grilled oysters were very good! I would make a comparison to the grilled oysters at Drago's in New Orleans. The fish tacos were amazing and packed with lots of fish, just as I would expect. The clam chowder was also delicious! I highly recommend this place to all seafood lovers! I will be back there again very soon. . .“

“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.“

“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 sourdough and whipped ricotta w/ honey was amazing!! The Branzino was very good and the pistachio cheesecake is hard to beat. We had two great bottles of wine that were half of on Thursdays.
Everyone was very nice but they definitely seemed understaffed. We waited about 5 minutes at the front before someone finally checked us in, they person who seemed to be filling the waters kept passing our table and we had to flag down the hostess to get more water. Also, personally, I am not a fan of restaurants that allow non-service dogs to be in the main indoor dining areas.
Overall, this place had great food and a wonderful atmosphere. Just seems to need more staff during restaurant week.“

“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!!“

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

“Made reservations a few weeks ahead of time. Arrived a few minutes early. Waited about 15mins for a table that had been open for a while. The table that we were assigned was very close to the next table. So lucky for us they were a friendly couple and they talked to us for about an hour. Their meal looked really good, so when the waiter came I asked him to duplicate their order for us. The King Crabs legs are amazing here. I highly recommend them. Parking can be difficult there was one spot open when we got there about 7:25pm on a Saturday. About 9:10pm there was a lot of parking available. I would recommend this spot.“

“We had a truly exceptional experience. The cuisine was exquisite, and the service was exemplary. The staff's attentiveness created an impression of exclusive service, despite the restaurant being fully occupied. This establishment is highly recommended for those seeking a premium dining experience.“

“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!“

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

“We love Grassroots! Always love the energy, the food is always excellent, and the staff is always warm and welcoming. Our server and hostess, Emma and Alex I believe, were both lovely and did an excellent job taking care of our party. I've been coming to Grassroots for years and years and will continue to do so!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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 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!!!!!“

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

“Always a wonderful experience! They have great French specialties. The drinks, cuisine, service and ambience is superb“

“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 ⭐️“

“We’ve never had any other experience here other than professional service, delicious food and friendly staff. Waiters are attentive and food comes out of the kitchen in a timely manner. There is a reason why this place is ALWAYS packed with happy patrons who repeatedly come back for more goodness.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“This place is consistently great. The food is served fast, super hot and the quality is always on point. From the fried rice to the beef with broccoli, I absolutely love the food here. This has been a monthly staple for us since it opened, great job.“

“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.“

“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“

“Outstanding food specials and the drink and food menu are regularly outstanding!“

“Great atmosphere and cuisine“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“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“

“My son and i love this location, we've visited others and have left disappointed when we reach the rice and realize its not fully cooked. The rice is spot on and the portions are great, enough for my son and i to share! And the service was fast and knowledgeable.“

“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.“
