50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Pacific Palisades

“I took my husband for Father’s Day brunch/lunch at our favorite Italian restaurant here in the Palisades and as always it did not disappoint. It never does. He loved his steak and eggs, steak was Devine and I loved my chick pea soup. Always have the panne cotta and the cherry gelato and an espresso in their delightful patio and you’ve been to Italy!“

“This is definitely one of the oldest and nicest place in LA to offer good food next to a public and accessible beach.
One of the best time to go is by mid-afternoon as it’s less crowded and in the winter you can enjoy the sunset by 5pm. They do offer a lot of seafood dishes from the traditional clams chowder to the lovely lobster roll. For the kids they have a couple off-menu options such as a special kids fish n chips.
Definitely a great spot that I recommend for brunch and afternoon drinks and snacks.

Vegetarian options: Not too many option to chose from

Parking: They have a 13$ valet as well as a public parking available

Kid-friendliness: Next to the beach this is a great spot to enjoy a bite while the little ones are running on the beach

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible“

“Everything about this place is excellent. The food is flavorful and clearly made with care, the service is kind and attentive, and the atmosphere is both elegant and inviting. A wonderful dining experience every time!“

“This was a great brunch and starting with the grapefruit and juniper spritz set the right tone because they were perfectly balanced. I hate cocktails that throw off the balance with alcohol. Baked scallops, great flavor; lobster pasta I highly recommend because the sauce could be eaten by itself it’s so good; smoke salmon Benedict was done to perfection and the highlight for me was the addition of avocado and a very thin super crispy muffin! I always think muffins are too big so that was a big plus for me.“

“Although I was a little put off by the paper plate table settings… this was by far the most delicious food I’ve had… a wildly unexpected treat! Simple yet brilliant flavors using incredible olive oil… it’s my new favorite place! Highly recommended…“

“For me, this is a restaurant where you should take family and family-friends. Easy valet parking, cozy location on the marina, sleek seating with maritime decor, classic (and strong) drinks, and a quiet ambience -- all make it a standout in LA, where oftentimes the quality of the food outstrips all the other aspects of the dining experience. As for food: we liked all the seafood options we tried (sea bass, bouillabaise, sand daps), and the burger was thick and juicy. Remarkably, we spent three hours talking and enjoying our three-course meal, and the servers were friendly the whole time and didn't rush us. We will be back!“

“Malama polo restaurant is best�Highly recommend for all.“

“Excellent food and fantastic service😊“

“The fish bar is in a great location the bartender Rose makes amazing drinks she friendly & attentive. She knows you by name. The food was great atmosphere is relaxed all the staff treats you like family. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing Food. We ordered quite a few dishes and everything was delicious! The Peking Duck and green beans were my favorite!“

“Absolutely fantastic place! Food is delicious. Taste festival in each dish. Seafood super fresh! Im in Europe cant find anything like Marocan Goddess 🥹🥹🥹🥹 Love you guys! The best recommendations ❤️❤️ This spot is a must visit if youre in LA. Also super close to LAX“

“Made reservations for my birthday an hour before my arrival.. No pushback no problems.. It was confirmed very quick and easy... When me and guests arrived to the table, it was decorated nicely with birthday cards and confetti.. Food was splendid.. Our waiter was patient, kind & respectful.. Complimentary dessert and flexible prices with valet service.. One of the best birthdays ever! I will be returning soon.. Lol“

“Had the absolute best time here last night! So pleased. Chef brought out some sugar snap peas that were crunchy, tasty, and thoughtful for a hungry party! Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious! Fish sandwich 10/10, mussels 10/10, great for vegetarian, pescatarian, or pregnant like myself so shopping for raw & cooked options for everyone at the table! The “local spot” ambiance is unbeatable, felt like home. Thank you for the service!“

“Delicious food, excellent service ~ our table ordered Caesar salad, clam chowder, tiger prawns, crab cakes, sea bass, ahi tuna, swordfish, tiramisu, and carrot cake (maybe a bit more) and everything was superb ~ the taste, the presentation, the service, the space. Highly recommend.“

“The Baseline: For a seafood fast casual restaurant the fish/seafood needs to be fresh, the presentation of the food should be comforting and respect the delicacy of the seafood, and there must be a selection of accompanying offerings.

Food: The lobster is high quality here and the preparation is excellent. The Lobster Roll sampler is really good to try the different preparations. The full lobster roll is meaty and filling. The chips are nice but wish I had fries. The soda selection is awesome (got a Maine Blueberry soda). The price is what you get when you order the lobster.

Service: Counter order deliver to your table service. Good and efficient.

Ambiance: The restaurant is really well presented and has good decor. The bathroom was clean. The seating was well laid out and the lighting was good in the restaurant. Unfortunately, the outside is Santa Monica 2025 and is sketchy at night (not the restaurant’s fault)“

“This was formerly a M- star restaurant and it is no suprise why based on the food. The ambiance isn't anything to write home about and some of the seat cushions were ripped up. The server's explained the food really well and food came fast. Would definitely recommend this for a seafood lover and for someone who enjoys spicy food. I had a few dishes that I had never heard of like a drink made with condensed milk, coconut water and something else...it was good. The green sauce they serve with the chips is VERY spicy. Would definitely go again and try some different things.“

“Beyond expectations! Best meal & service in at least 10 years. I’ll be back!“

“Hurtig betjening og fantastisk aftensmad 🦞🍺🦐“

“friendly place great food and good price“

“Great lobster roll and even though the margarita is agave wine rather than tequila, very tasty! Highly recommend“

“Gem alert!! Absolutely delicious food (great lobster rolls in quality, portion, and flavor; fryer expertly manned so your calamari is creamy and crisp outside; house-made sauce that is both delicious and interesting). The service is great, the vibe is relaxed, and the beer choices are good. Can’t wait to come back for lobster rolls and a pitcher of beer to share.“

“Nice for fine dinning! One block away from Rodeo Dr!“

“Tar & Roses is our family's favorite restaurant. Whenever we have people in from out of town or we want to go out with new friends or we just want a fun date night or to celebrate an occasion, we go there!!! The food and service is outstanding every time. Tar & Roses never disappoints! We love it!!!“

“What a fantastic plate of oysters. The horseradish was hand grated. Has a lobster roll as well with thin fries with old bay. Service was great food was super fast.“

“Freshest restaurant quality sashimi and sushi at a reasonable price in the U.S. Their sashimi is top notch. Highly recommend the Hamachi/yellowtail toro (so underrated), the scallops, and the squid/ika, but honestly any of the options won’t disappoint. Also a big fan of their tamago and their Takuan roll (which has fresh perilla leaves inside)!
If you’re a big sashimi/sushi enjoyer and value quality, this place is perfect!“

“Came here on a birthdsy friendly date night recommend by my foodie girlfriend. First thing you'll notice is the ambiance, I loved it. Our service was excellent. Now, as a fine dinning chef myself we can get into the food.

The dumplings in curry sauce, very nice!
Baked Oysters, perfectly cooked, flavor profile, meh. Tuna Tostada, too small and under seasoned. Roast Pork, is so close to perfect. Cocnut rice was lovely as well. Drinks are creative and fun. Desserts were decent. The bad? Portion sizes are a joke. And it's likely you'll have to eat again, after already having eaten here.

My thoughts? Overall, a fun experience, especially as our server was awesome and honestly made some good suggestions. The food is fun, well executed and very creative. The decore and over all ambiance is dope. My compliments to the chef for having balls enough to push elevated cuisine in new directions. 🤌“

“A nice small family owned seafood shop. Also they have an amazing lobster roll deal. $25 for two lobster rolls ,chips and a drink“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“Lobster Bisque in a bread bowl!“

“Fresh good cooked to order fish and shrimp tacos or plates.“

“I came across Playa Provisions when in town for business. It was a short Uber from the airport, so I figured I'd give it a try. This place is an absolute gem! It is a unique setup that has everything you'd possibly need from morning until late at night: Cafe in the front for coffee and fresh baked good, as well as full breakfast menu. Later in the heat of the afternoon, take a break from the beach (right across the street) and enjoy hand scooped specialty ice cream cones and shakes. Oh look, it's dinner time... and Playa Provisions opens their dining room and bar, some of the best, most relaxed ambience you'll find for miles around. But don't let the casual setting fool you, this is some incredible, elevated cuisine. Chef owners Nick and Brooke (who you might recognize) crafted a menu that's I've been eating my way through, and have yet to find a dish that's not delicious. You've been eating and drinking all day, and are exhausted? Don't leave yet! Wander into the back 'secret' whiskey bar, (Grain Whiskey Bar) and enjoy hand crafted cocktails from award winning bartenders (no, literally), in a gorgeous wood laden atmosphere. I consider myself a foodie, and try as many different restaurants and cuisines as I can. And yet, Playa Provisions remains my favorite restaurant in LA (and that's saying something, considering the amazing places in LA). Run, don't walk, to Playa Provisions. You'll thank me.“

“Boiling Crab is one of my favorite places to go their catfish and their chicken strips are so amazing. You will not be disappointed. My husband and son loves their shrimp crab clams and so much more. You will definitely have to try.“

“Incredible food, wonderful service and the atmosphere was a wow!“

“Great food, creative cuisine“

“Excelente el servicio y los mariscos 🦐“

“Great fresh fish. The Aloha Poke is my favorite and I just tried the clam chowder. creamy and delicious.“

“I will like to give a shout out to the chef. I think his name is Shawn or Sean. When we got to Santa Monica, we looked up restaurants to go have our 26 year anniversary dinner, we stayed at Hotel Delmar right across the street. We googled the restaurant menu, and decided what we were going to have. when we got there, and they brought out the menus, all what we decided to have was not on there. I was crushed. Because I had my mind set on the Halibut. I said it's ok I will just have the Ribeye, mind you I had a ribeye steak the night before. When the waiter came back, my wife asked if it's possible to get the Halibut and he said let me check with the chef. He came back later and said the chef said it's no problem. I was blown away. That was the best Halibut ( besides mine) that I have ever had. Thank you chef Shawn. From one chef to another, thank you. you made my night.“

“My friend and I had lunch on Tuesday. We arrived there around noon, and there was no line yet! There is a large parking lot in front of the restaurant. If it’s full, there is additional parking underground. As soon as we placed our order and found a table for two, there was a line of people. The fish (grilled) was good!! Not dry at all!! I loved that there were so many hot sauces to choose from. I also enjoyed the roasted yellow peppers…!! they were meaty and not spicy. Since I ordered a combo, I picked their hibiscus tea, which was tart and sweet, just the way I like it! I will definitely go back to try other items.“

“Absolutely Phenomenal! Ann and her staff were excellent. The food was perfect. The night was perfect. The restaurant is perfect. You get what you pay for and everything in life. This is well worth it.“

“Atmosphere, food on point“

“Asked for a view in a 3/4 empty room, was told 2 people couldn't have the corner seat. Was offered an inferior view so we left. Bad business to turn away a couple over seat preferences. We have never been to a Bubba Gump Shrimp restraunt before, will never return either. Too bad. Went across the pier to Seaside on the pier and have an excellent view.“

“Great food loved it ! We will b back“

“HANDS DOWN THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD .
Forget about , it’s a food truck… Hugo has some of the best authentic and fresh delights you’ll find anywhere. We all have been addicted to his secret recipe Cheviche for years. Thanks Hugo, Bobby“

“Food is delicious! And very generous portions!!! Will definitely be back!!!“

“Todo delicioso y un excelente servicio me encanta mucho este restaurante es lo máximo servicio y comida Im so happy %100 recomendado Im Love it 😍 😍😍🥰😍😍😍🥰“

“From the moment I settled in the booth, a caressing breeze welcomed me. The large garage door like opening of a window added to the beautifully appointed space. There were many highlights of the evening, including the delicious spicy albacore role , the more rare sashimi sea bass, and the decadent dessert banana ice cream caramel sandwich with crunchy filo dough. Our waitresses Monique was hands down the highlight of the evening- what a pleasure to be served by a competent, passionate, and beautiful human. A memorable evening.“

“El mejor Sarandeado y sus tortillitas calentadas en las brazas“

“Amazing experience for first time ..I really recommend this place, so much flavor😋😋
I ordered the butter chicken, egg fried rice, chicken and vegetable samosas
Everything was incredible together

Thank you so much to the owner for hooking it up with a dessert for it being my first time

5 out of 5 I highly and genuinely recommend!“

“It was such a lovely venture out for my Mom’s birthday, on Friday. Alex and Dominique (management) are quite lovely, and helped make our dining experience all the more, a joy! Love the new additions to the menu, particularly the Mini Steak French Dips. The Chicken Parmesan was excellent with the twist of those ‘pepper-like sweet’ tomatoes. If there is ever something you want to bring back to the menu I would highly suggest the sliders, they were missed for sure lol! Looking forward to dining again here, soon. Cheers! ✨💖🥂“

“I got catering for a 200 person wedding. We got numerous of their Persian menu items and the tray passed. All of our guests loved it and thought it was the best Persian food they’ve ever had at a wedding. Their service and presentation was flawless. We had zero regrets utilizing them and for any other function we will definitely hire them again“
