50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Seal Beach

“Absolutely incredible seafood! The poke nachos and the poke bowl were incredibly fresh and packed with flavor, and the cups of clam chowder were the perfect comforting side. The standout of our visit, though, was the service. Giuliana was an excellent server—super attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience fantastic. We will definitely be back!“

“My husband and I went to Patty's Place for our anniversary. We were thinking it was just your basic steak house. We were wrong. Nothing about Patty's is basic.I was shocked when we walked in. It has just enough elegance to enhance a cozy, and comfortable experience. The service was excellent and very friendly. Needless to say, the food was magnificent. I've never had side dishes be as delicious as the main meal. The potatoes and veggies were out of this world. ~ I can honestly say, " it was the best food I've ever eaten." This restaurant gets a 10 in my book.“

“Mahetini and their Old Fashioned drinks“

“I had the best birthday dinner at Lalc! I had the Giant Sandwich loaded with Andouille sausage, brisket and pulled pork over slaw on a Ciabatta roll! It was soooo big I could only eat half! The Brussels spouts were amazing and the 5 cheese Mac and Cheese was the best we have ever had! 5 Star!!!! I must try!!!“

“Truly the most disgusting linguine and clams I’ve ever had. The clams and pasta were over cooked. On top of it all your menu listed every ingredient except the cream. I hate any dairy in my seafood. As do ALL. Italians. Most dissatisfied and disappointed. What do you expect from a seafood joint named “Walt’s”. Never again.“

“Kristi, with a K, is the best.“

“Awesome place to visit for the entire family . Great service , food , and price . Also , super kid friendly and they accommodate dietary restrictions as well !“

“I was at Heritage to celebrate a special occasion — the restaurant was cozy and homey. The kitchen was right in front of us, so the whole room was filled with different aromas. Both the service and food were great. The first few courses were delicious, adding a bit of extra excitement to the meal. That said, for a restaurant charging $195/person with a Michelin star, serving food and beverages on a cracked plate and in a chipped cup felt off. When I asked the staff about it, she gave me a smirk and downplayed it with some excuses and brushed it off. Better quality control may be needed as your guests deserve better.“

“Our family came to Sizzler to celebrate our moms Birthday, she loves this place. The service is always good however today is the first time we have had service that was above and beyomd, Marcos was so amazing, patient kind and caring to our needs. Thank you Marcos for making my moms bday so memorable.“

It’s not sour not sweet not bland but perfect. Come eat at union Jack, fish and chips. The best place ever the fish is also really crispy.“

“We drove 2 hours to meet friends driving down from LA. We all thought it well worth the effort. Food was really good, from fish and chips, Mahi Mahi and Chioppino. I would definitely go there again.“

“Nick’s food and service doesn’t disappoint! Menu options are great, and they’ll take a classic comfort dish such as a meat loaf to a gourmet degree. Service is impecable too. Worth every dollar you spend here in every aspect! They have my respect and heart! ♥️“

“We have been coming to Mona Lisa for 10 years. The quality is unmatched and the service is impeccable. We now live in Thousand Oaks and whenever we are in the area we make a point to stop at Mona Lisa. We always leave happy. Cannot recommend enough.“

“Good and service was great“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So happy we came back!

We hadn’t been to Sizzler in years, but this was the location we used to visit all the time, so I was excited to come back—and they did NOT disappoint!

We ordered the largest steak with a baked potato, broccoli, and cheese bread.We also ordered the ribs. I had a few special requests for the steak and broccoli to be cooked nice and tender, and they followed every request perfectly! Steak was absolutely HEAVENLY—tender, flavorful, and cooked exactly how we wanted it. The broccoli was perfect too! Ribs were very delicious as well. Compliments to the chef!!

The staff was friendly and welcoming, and even though the restaurant was pretty packed when I picked up our food, everything was fresh, hot, and prepared correctly.

The cheese bread wasn't our favorite, but I think it would probably be much better fresh in the restaurant rather than after a drive home.

Overall, we had a wonderful experience and an excellent meal. So glad we gave Sizzler another try! We will be back in the future.“

“The service was great, the ingredients were fresh, and we will be back next time.“

“We always enjoy date night at Liv's and it's even better at Social Hour. Usually we would have seafood, but with a buy-one get-one burger on Wednesday night we had to try it, and it did not disappoint. Service is always friendly and attentive, and we have never had a bad meal here.“

“Food is always fresh and delicious I’ve been eating here since 2019 staff is always friendly by far the best deal on poke bowls around 3-4 dollars cheaper than any other poke spot but the lower price doesn’t mean worse food highly recommend poki naya“

“Love the atmosphere, Food and Family Time 👍“

“I recently ordered some mango aguachiles. They were delicious and it makes me want to come to try more foods. Their customer service is 5/5, they welcome customers like family. I ordered pick up, and would want to come to dine in next time, they have a friendly nice atmosphere.“

“Came here for a business dinner and was seated outside on a beautiful evening. Started off with a mix of oysters and the Cevichos. Both were excellent. Then the 5 of us went different directions for our mains, but my Squid Ink Linguini was top notch! Our server this evening was Chase K. He did excellent and we would love to come back here. Really good restaurant!“

“I love this place!! There food is absolutely amazing, as is their customer service! Recommend the mushrooms for an appetizer and bread pudding for dessert!!“

The taco de pescado was very fresh and crispy. Will definitely be coming back because i will crave this ❤‍🔥“

“Casual dining, great atmosphere and dog friendly“

“Good food, healthy choices.“

“I don’t even live in the area and every time I come to SoCal to visit my friend I insist that we visit this place. Their catfish is my favorite. I love the fresh vegetables that comes with it and of course the dipping sauce. I can never get enough and the prices are always reasonable!“

“My family and I still enjoy coming to Capital Seafood. The ambiance is welcoming, staff is always accommodating and the food is still a 10! We come here for family birthdays, special gatherings or even if we have that craving of authentic Chinese Cambodian flavors. If the restaurant doesn’t close even during holidays, it’s definitely a special place to visit! It’s always a big feast for big families and it’s worth it! Thanks Kelvin!!!!“

“Food was good but customer service not so great. Our waitress Raquel needs to brush up on her people skills, smile a little more and not have such an attitude. I was afraid to ask her for more ice tea. The food was good, the ambiance great and I’d recommend but avoid this waitress.“

“100% recommended, food is delicious“

“My first time ordering to nyc and I didn’t know what to expect but wow the uni is top notch ! Came in cold and fresh so excited that I found my new spot for Santa Barbara uni beyond tasty I almost finished the box in one sitting haha!! Didn’t try the caviar yet but loved the seaweed ! Made my own hand rolls!“

“It was over a decade ago but I still remember my first meal here. This is a locals long standing hole in the wall. Owner is a straight up american tale. He also makes a mean Clam Chowder. The only reason why I don't think it has more reviews is that it's location may seem out of the way for most. People make the trek to come here because the food is simple, hearty, memorable and as fresh as wild catch gets. It's probably the best seafood in all of LA. At the very least, it's worth trying out.“

“OMGG SOOO GOOD!!! i got the bucket medley flavor with the whole shrimp and potato bag, along with the Cajun fries for $26 which is not only a good price but was a very good portion of food and it was the best seafood boil I’ve ever had!

The service is a 10/10, they are super attentive and very helpful, and we got the food very fast.

Can’t wait to go back☺️“
