50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Venice

“I went there in my birthday . I loved that it was open until 23.00. Parking around is expensive so you can park somewhere else and get yourself a another glass of drink or some more oysters. Oysters are medium and 7 out of a 10. I certainly drove drom dtla or melrose to the dudley market for oysters. Very amazing that even if i didnt have reservations they didnt make me wait too long. Wine is good for a price and I have had sashimis and scallops and was pretty good . I just wanted a better sauce on it. Toilets was clean and outside atmosphere was quiete well. I didnt feel discomfort. Ocean breeze and ambiance is well. Art piece on the wall isnt good no worries I have some paintings to replace it while one sit on the bar can keep look at it. Other than that its not super hidden somewhere therefore easy to find i liked that too so i went there again . This time i had three glass of wine and i decided that three is my limit about that. Simple menu cool vibesssssssssss“

“Upscale but relaxed and casual- nice vibes. We had a great view of the open kitchen from where we sat.“

“The food and service were awesome. However, I did order a latke and caviar but didn’t get it nor was I charged. I guess it was missed somehow. Either way we had more than enough food. Thank you to our waitress for recommending me the fish and chips, it was tasty. Oh and the Sweetbun Crown was AMAZING.“

“Valentine's Day preset menu was delicious. Service was very slow from checking in to getting our waiter to the table to take our order and finally take our payment. The atmosphere was casual and relaxed. Convenient Valet parking. It was our first time visiting Dear Jane, so we'll have to give it another try during not too busy time.“

“Amazing view!! Delicious Polynesian Sea Bass. Visited LA for 4 nights and my best meal!!! Walkable area with beach and bike path. Will come back and stay in this area! Restaurant prices are not too high in comparison to other restaurants that aren’t as good.“

“Amazing and tasting sea food, so delicious, fair price. Small place so you might have to wait to order and to find a table. A lot of people orders to go. Parking lot might be an issue too, depends on what day you go. Enjoy it!! It's all worth it!“

The Crab Louie salad is divine. One of the best fish and chips in town . For your next seafood outing make reservations and go to the Santa Monica Seafood Market & Cafe !!!“

“Eddie V's is a place I love to go to an have events an conferee dinners. Last Night I made reservations that early morning which was yesterday 1/24/26 for 8pm. When we got there 7:45 athe concierge greeted us great and told us they are preparing our table right now. The young lady behind the counter got mad an told him no it will be at 8. So he repeated it to us and told us we could stand there or go over to the bar and have a seat and they will come get us. while at the bar service was very slow and asked for a jack an coke they had 0 bottles of jack. Next they finally came to get us at which was 8:45. This wasn't the way to start a 28 year anniversary. When every anniversary we go to Eddie's. But this time it was just so different.“

“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“

“Excellent food and fantastic service😊“

“Atmosphere, food on point“

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

“Lobster Bisque in a bread bowl!“

“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)“

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

“One of the most enjoyable meals I've had in a while. Not just about the food. It was a great overall experience. Ash, our server, was knowledgeable and coursed the meal out perfectly. Food was delicious. It was a pretty space. We loved it, and most importantly, I want to go back.“

“Been to this place a couple of times before. It's totally a very casual vibe, the bartenders are unbelievably friendly and helpful. The food is delicious and not on the expensive side especially for what you get. We will continue to go back. Great selection of beer if that's what you are into.“

“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.“

“Coni’s Seafood in Inglewood absolutely deserves its Michelin Bib Gourmand! This is one of my favorite seafood restaurants in all of LA—my go-to spot whenever I’m nearby.
I highly recommend trying:
* Tostaditos – Marlin pâté tostada topped with shrimp and octopus ceviche. So much flavor!
* Pescado Zarandeado – Grilled snook with house sauce, caramelized onions, and warm tortillas. Smoky, tender, and delicious.
* Ceviche de Pescado – Super fresh fish marinated in lemon with cucumber, tomato, onion & green chile. Refreshing and bright.
Pair it all with a lime margarita and a cold Modelo Negro and you’re set for an amazing meal. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Hurtig betjening og fantastisk aftensmad 🦞🍺🦐“

“Wow! The snook is out of this world delicious! It’s served with carmelized onions — succulent fish, sweet and earthy onions; this dish hits it out of the ball park. The cerviche pescado was fresh and tasty! Service was delightful. Great value. Excellent experience all the way around. A new favorite 🤗“

“This is a neat place to grab some fish to eat. Nice variety of fish and preparation options, with a good selection of side dishes too. Staff is friendly and artentive providing prompt service. Oh yes, the meals are absolutely delicious. Overall a solid 5/5. 👌“

“friendly place great food and good price“

“Me encanto el lugar muy rico todo la pasamos de maravilla. Y fue lindo ver a personas que aprecio y q estimo. Muchas gracias ❤️👍😄“

“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.“

“Nice place for breakfast. Not to busy and service was great. A little pricey.“

“Excellent service, amazing lobster 🦞 with crab rice. I just wish I was given the prices before agreeing on the upgrade. I ordered a family for 2 and CJ server offered to make it 3ppl. I was kinda surprised with my bills and how the restaurant dictate the gratuity %….Overall, I love dining in this restaurant because we were welcome and were given a great and warm reception. Thank you to the staff who made us feel special especially to CJ she was amazing. Indeed, the most expensive meal I have eaten lol it’s worth it.“

“This place is a true gem and I love shopping there for all my sushi and Japanese food and sake amazing selection and excellent service! If you enjoy fresh sushi fish that are reasonably priced then you most definitely must check out this gem!!! Also they teach lessons that sell out quickly so you must sign up for their monthly news email that gives you so much information about all that they do!“

“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.“

“Excellant spot to Meet, Greet and Eat!!🥰“

“Let's get the cons out of the way. This restaurant is in a residential area so there is very limited parking. We parked about a 5 min walk away. Also the restaurant is behind a house and there is very limited signage. We asked a neighbor who was working in his front yeard who pointed is in the right direction a few houses down the street.

The minute we found the place it was a 5 star experience. Thankfully we beat the crowd on a Sunday early afternoon. There were two other parties laready seated and we were seated immediately. All the seating is outside but they have a series of umbrellas and tents cover around 2/3rd of the seating. If you come during a busy time you may get stuck in the sun so bring sunscreen or a hat if you're sensitive to sitting in the sun.

The waitress was very nice. She answered our questions about the menu, which was heavily in Spanish, and made some recommendations. We got Chicharrones de Pexcado and it was fabulous. 10 out of 10 absolutely recommend. It was the favorite of everyone in the group. Then we got the Green Apple ceviche and an assortment of tacos (shrimp and fish) including Marlin Tacos). Everything was really tasty and I would absolutely recommend checking it out.

All the food came out in a reasonable amount of time and was great service sizes for sharing and the cats who were running around were adorable but also stayed a cautious distance from the diners.“

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

“Ordered prepared Thanksgiving Prime Rib meal for 8 - this may very well be the best meal I ever had, let alone best Thanksgiving meal. The chef was amazingly kind and accommodating. Pretty sure I couldn't have even bought the ingredients for the price charged. Soooooo worth it. Best kept secret!“

“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.“

“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.“
