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“

The portions are perfect for sharing, which makes it even more enjoyable to try different dishes and experience the menu together.“

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

“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!“

“What a fantastic dining experience! We were so well taken care of, and the food was amazeballs! Definitely top of my list as my new favorite seafood restaurant. Elijah, the bartender was awesome and Katie went out of the way to make sure we had a lovely time. What an evening… I highly recommend this place.“

“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.“

“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…“

“The tasting menu is full of unique seafood dishes, and the portions are generous.“

“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!“

“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.“

“My wife and I had a wonderful meal at Tar & Roses last night! Every dish was perfectly executed and our server, Katie, could not have done a better job! The receptionist squeezed us in, with a cancelation just before we called and gave us a terrific table. We were greeted warmly. The wine list had a good selection of wines by the glass and just the wines I needed to pair with my dishes. We can highly recommend the oxtail dumplings, octopus skewers, balsamic glazed short ribs,
Singapore crab cake, fried cauliflower with lavender honey, roasted brussels sprouts, cheesy whipped potatoes, the mushrooms and white beans and especially the strawberry crostata with vanilla ice cream for dessert! The vibe was good and my only disappointment was that we couldn't eat the entire menu in one sitting:-)“

“This is my favorite seafood restaurant in los angeles! They're fresh is so fresh and I'm in love with their salmon, candy and their Char. Roiled swordfish sandwiches! Even there, lettuce on their spring summer salad is the freshest.Most beautiful shade of green and red.And they're dressing is divine! I wish I could eat there every day.

You guys truly have an amazing restaurant and market!

Oh, and I forgot to mention they even have take home recipes and recipes on their website! Wow!! Can I be the first Santa Monica seafood brand ambassador?! 😋“

“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!“

“Such a tasty little spot. I was looking for a good place for lunch today while I was up in LA. The good reviews did not lie. I had a shrimp and a beef taco. Everything was fresh and so tasty, and really reasonably priced. Service was fast and friendly.“

“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😊“

“You’re not coming to Coni’s on Centinela for the atmosphere (super harsh lighting). And the service, while friendly, isn’t really anything to write home about. But the food is outstanding! Came with a friend and a huge appetite so we ordered way too much food and loved practically everything we had. I’d never tried Nayarit-style Mexican food and lemme tell ya - I’m all in. The chips are fantastic and the verde hot sauce that accompanies is delicious and spicy. Started with Ceviche de Pescado which was super flavorful, but was the only minor disappointment as the fish to cucumber-tomato-onion-chile ratio could have used more fish. Still, it tasted really good, so not really a big deal. Was also initially disappointed that the Snook wasn’t available, but was super happy with the Camarones Borrachos and the Langostinos that we ended up having. Both of these dishes come with their own unique sauce - the shrimp with a super tasty tequila garlic sauce and the lobster with their signature spicy red sauce. But wait folks, there’s more! Also tried all three of their tacos: Tacos de Pescado Empanizado, Tacos de Marlin, and Tacos al Gobernador. All three were good, but the standout for me was the shrimp tacos! The marlin taco was a close second for me. Like I said, we brought our appetites :) I’m definitely coming back to Coni’s to try the snook but next time I plan to check out the Inglewood location since there’s no alcohol service at Centinela. I think a beer is the right choice to accompany this style of food. In any case, I highly recommend the food at Coni’s!“

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

“Atmosphere, food on point“

“I should've just come here first.
The lobster quality is great with thick claw meat and a nice sized pickle. The tomato bisque isn't bad, but I'll try the clam chowder next time.

Good Lobster is hard to come by since COVID. On splurge days, this is a really good choice. The people are cool too.“

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

“This is an amazing Mexican seafood restaurant and the snook is the absolute highlight of the meal! It is absolutely a must if you’re here for food.

There’s a reason they’ve been on Michelin lists and praised in so many articles, because they’re really good at what they do.

The food is the highlight here. Everything else could use a little updating, like the tables are a bit aged and seemingly always sticky as a result.

Overall, if you’re here for good food, you’re in for a treat.“

“Lobster Bisque in a bread bowl!“

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

“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.“

“I absolutely love the fish tacos here! The flavors are fresh, the portions are great, and there are plenty of options to choose from. Price reasonable. I miss Sauce Bar (no longer providing since the COVID-19 pandemic). Everything I’ve tried has been delicious, and the atmosphere makes it easy to come back again and again. Highly recommend if you’re craving amazing fish tacos!“

“Hurtig betjening og fantastisk aftensmad 🦞🍺🦐“

“friendly place great food and good price“

“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.“

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

“Great food , excellent customer service and friendly I will stop by all the time, because food are delicious 🤤“

“Great food loved it ! We will b back“

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

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Awesome Steakhouse! Everything was amazing and our server Andre was fantastic. I went for my birthday and even the birthday dessert was great. I was also looking for a place for a small dinner party so I had a chance to meet with one of the managers, Joel and he was also great. Definitely looking forward to coming back. Beautiful ambiance and tasty food!“

“the service was spectacular. really fun group of servers... food = excellent - exception: chicken appetizer a little greasy/ excessively fried but everything else: salmon, hamachi, avocado fries, duck tacos, etc. was great. a little too loud at first due to boisterous group in the bar right next to our table. acoustics are not great for conversation when the bar is hopping. this is my second time and I will come back.“

“Excellent seafood and dessert“

“I came in close to closing time so the place wasn't very tidy. Like in the past, the food was really good, but I couldn't make an order by phone. Instead I had to use their online ordering, but I wasn't alerted when the order was ready.“
