50 Best Seafood Restaurants near El Cerrito

“Great Food! The grilled shrimp and brussel sprouts are delicious 😋“

“This is an absolute jewel hidden away in El Cerrito. It is a great combination of Nepalese and Tibetan food. The food is very authentic and they have dishes you don't see at other Nepalese restaurants. The service is fantastic and you feel very welcomed there.“

“Amazing food and wine, great view“

“We absolutely loved our dinner at Liholiho Yacht Club — everything from the vibe to the flavors was on point. We started with a couple of appetizers that set the tone right away: bold, fresh, and packed with unique flavor combinations. The pork ribs were a total standout — perfectly tender with just the right balance of sweet and savory, and the fried rice that came with them was rich, flavorful, and satisfying on its own.
But the real star of the night was dessert — the Baked Hawaii. Not only was it beautifully presented, but it was also hands down one of the best desserts we’ve ever had. A creative twist on a classic, and the perfect ending to a fantastic meal.
Service was friendly and attentive, and the whole experience felt fun, vibrant, and effortlessly cool. We’ll absolutely be coming back next time we’re in SF! Highly recommend this spot — a true gem.“

“spectacular seafood! shrimp and scallops were thoroughly enjoyed and the wine and Champagne pairings made it even better! Only bad thing was, I didn't get a second Tiramisu for dessert! Perfect little private room in back and the 3 servers were on point!“

“Amazing food, attentive and knowledgable service made for a memorable first night in San Francisco!!!!“

“My friends and I have been wanting to come here for a while and we finally made it. Took advantage of their HH and got one of everything from that menu. Our favorite dish was the oysters and also the mussels which we kept ordering over and over. Deviled eggs and popcorn shrimp were okay, but the cod tacos were just ehh. One of the employees was super nice while others weren't as much. Overall it was okay and we may go back.“

“We picked a rare sunny day to have lunch and the view sitting outside was great. All food was excellent. Husband got 12 oysters and wanted more. Mussels in Thai coconut curry starter was delicious as was my entree of Dorade (whole fish). Even dessert(which I rarely order) was yummy.“

“Incredible food. Every. single. time. Super flavorful, great ingredients and just made with so much love (you can taste it). The plantains are always so ripe and sweet. They have wonderful service and a nice outdoor space to dine as a different option to sitting inside. My favorite is the fried goat with rice+beans and sweet plantains. The griot is amazing too. And so is their sorrel drink. There’s really nothing but great things to say about this family run business. For folks with allergies or dietary restrictions - they have plenty of options too. I am GF. I love how mindful they are. I’m rooting for their success and cannot recommended it more! ??❤️“

“Anchovy Bar is a charming restaurant with a niche concept that feels refreshingly different. The anchovy toast is a definite must-try—surprisingly fresh and not fishy at all. While the bread was a bit thick for my taste, the sesame crust added great texture and paired well with the anchovies. Beautiful presentation, too.

The broiled oysters with roasted garlic–balsamic butter were also solid—rich, flavorful, and satisfying.

Unfortunately, the rest of the meal didn’t quite live up to those highlights. The biggest letdown was the Cantabrian anchovies. At first, they forgot the anchovies entirely. When we asked about it, they brought out small, sad-looking brown slices that resembled canned sardines more than premium anchovies. For a place called Anchovy Bar, we were hoping for something a bit more… memorable.

In the end, it seems like the anchovy toast might be the best thing they make—and honestly, it’s worth a visit just for that or only for that.“

“Really sumptuous lobster roll. The butter flavoured brioche was loaded with a generous amount of fresh lobster meat. It was not overly seasoned which allowed the original lobster savouriness to shine through. The price doesn't come cheap but it's still worth it given the large portion and quality of the lobster. It was definitely the best lobster roll I have ever had.“

“Had San Francisco Cioppino (Mussels. Clams, Crab, Cod, Prawns, Scallops and Garlic Bread that was the bomb). Only giving 2 thumbs up as I only have 2. Great food, great service!“

“Hermoso servicio y buenas personas.“

“Great oyster selection and special options, fries are to die for, and the menu items all have a great take that satisfies while being unique. The service has been quick, focused, aware and guided us to some specials they thought we’d like. 4th time here and I always look forward to coming back when I’m in an oyster and Champaign mood, sitting outside and letting the baby people watch before shopping type of day.“

“First class operation“

“I read all the wonderful reviews on the actual website, and a friend and I decided to meet there for dinner last night (3/5/25) I was excited about trying out a new spot. The ambience was nice the restaurant was lively and surprisingly busy for a Wednesday night. Our food arrived in a timely manner however, our Server never return to ask if there was anything else needed. Although the crab chowder bowl was tasty, I would have like a little pepper and perhaps some Tabasco to further bring out the flavors. Unfortunately I couldn't get the Servers attention. The garlic noodles were definitely garlicky which wasn't the problem. There was way to much butter/olive oil with no other type of seasoning leaving them bland. The real issue was how the Server popped up and started reaching around the table to remove things as if we were being rushed out. She came back with dessert tray of which we declined then proceed to bring check and clear what she could away. A large group sitting nearby was rushed out after another large group was escorted to their table. Most started trying to finish their wine and gather their things which was obviously awkward for the group that appeared who had to turn around and give them room to leave. Our Server offered to-go containers and appeared impatient that we weren't leaving. Our entire dinner from beginning to end was 50 mins( with my friend trying to eat a whole crab which takes time) and we felt very rushed. Overall our experience was just "ok" therefore I wouldn't rush back anytime soon. We did however appreciate the 1 hour parking validation.“

“Food was wonderful great service and beautiful view!!“

“Good atmosphere and absolutely delicious food.“

“Best meal of my 14 day trip to California. wonderful atmosphere, great service and delicious food. I wish you had a restaurant in St Petersburg, FL.“

“Beautiful spot on the water for quality seafood. Definitely a “special occasion” choice for us, but there were more modest menu items that could possibly make for a more casual meal. Incredible service! The ambiance and the staff took our experience to the next level. Thanks!“

“An amazing restaurant with an interesting history and spectacular view of the Bay. Great service and food. And the Caprice is fully wheelchair accessible. Thanks for a great dining experience!“

“Had a really good experience, Frankie and the other staff were very friendly and personable. Highly recommend the crab cakes and tiramisu, they were excellent. My girlfriend and I shared the cioppino which was good and had us feeling full.“

“Classic San Francisco restaurant. Great service. Classic martini 🍸❤️“

“food was great, lind of pricey but worth it“

“Good food & friendly staff!👍🏽“

“I ❤️ these guys chicken catfish💕💕💕“

“Gotta get seafood. It’s in the name of the business. I had one shrimp taco and one fish taco. Both proteins were fried and breaded with an ample amount of slaw on top. Really good flavors. I preferred the shrimp since the texture was nice and bouncy, but the fish was good too.

There is a small tented area with two four-top tables. Other than that, I guess you gotta take it to go.

The staff was incredibly nice. Great service. I can’t wait to try the rest of their menu. A great addition to the neighborhood. In a sea of great taquerias and taco trucks in Richmond, you need to stand out and Mi Casita does just that.

UPDATE: Went back for a shrimp burrito and it’s fantastic. The shrimp is sautéed in this flavorful sauce. It’s up there with La Bamba’s shrimp burrito for sure.“

“Fast and friendly service, great atmosphere 👍“

“A great recent addition, good for dates and visitors. The staff was clearly well trained and very conscientious. It was only about half full at 7 PM on a Friday, let’s hope they can continue a great work with busier seatings. No “SF mandate” scam charges!“

“Excellent service, the guy behind the counter was super friendly and energetic. He clearly takes pride in the food he makes and serving the community. The lemon pepper wings were juicy and crispy and cooked just right. The seasoning was strong, bright, and tangy. Their ranch was incredible -- it's homemade and had the perfect ratio of buttermilk and herbs. Would highly recommend, food and service are both great and deserving of 5 stars.“
