50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Bay Lake

“All the food was great. Artisanal bread, cheese board, gazpacho, red snapper with shrimp, and dessert. Probably the best cooked fish I've had in Orlando. Service was spot on. If you're going to get a fancy dinner at Disney, you'll get what you pay for here.“

“you're looking for a break from the crowds and heat of the Disney parks, bluezoo at the Walt Disney World Dolphin is the perfect escape. The restaurant has a beautiful, modern interior with a calm, upscale atmosphere that makes it ideal for a date night or a relaxing dinner after a busy day. It's elegant without feeling pretentious, and the quieter setting is a welcome change from the energy of the parks.
The standout dish is the Crab Fried Rice. It easily stole the show and is worth ordering even if you're just stopping in for a drink and an appetizer. The seafood was incredibly fresh, every plate was beautifully presented, and the cocktails were just as impressive. Service was warm, attentive, and perfectly paced.
Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply want an exceptional meal away from the park crowds, bluezoo is well worth the visit. It's one of the best dining experiences in the Disney area.“

“Excelente experiencia. Estuve celebrando mi cumpleaños y fue todo muy especial. La atención de Paul fue maravillosa. La presentación de cada plato desde los mocktail, las diferentes sales que acompañan los cortes de carne y la presentación del postre fue maravilloso. La pizza de tuna es deliciosa. El arroz frito con vegetales sabroso. Me encantó la música tan agradable. Es un lujo el hotel, los baños con Lociones de Santal 33, y la amabilidad del Valet parking! Altamente recomendado.“

“Lovely spot with wonderful service and the best octopus ever...and I order 🐙 anytime anywhere it's on the menu. A triumph!“

“Super excelente Pricila is the best“

“I was in town for my daughter's 14th birthday and Norman's did not disappoint. From our initial greeting to the final goodbyes, the team at Norman's was flawless. We were promptly sat upon entering. Every team member that stopped by our table made sure to wish my daughter a happy birthday. Service was timed to perfection. Drinks were always kept full. Entrees got to us just as our appetizers were finished. Our service team made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our visit. As for food we started with the charcuterie board, blue crab beignets, and the pork belly. All 3 appetizers were amazing and perfectly portioned so we could all enjoy some. I had the yellowtail snapper as I've heard that Norman's has the best yellowtail snapper and this could be the best filet of fish I've ever had. Highly recommend trying this fish out if you're a fish lover as I am. We also had the filet mignon and the Mongolian tomahawk pork chop. Both were cooked perfectly and had great flavor. We also enjoyed au gratin potatoes, creamed corn and lobster Mac. The creamed corn was the only item in the entire experience that I didnt care for because it had a pepper taste to it and that's not what I was expecting. Lobster Mac was great as was the au gratin potatoes. For dessert, they brought out a platter as a surprise to all us with my daughter's name written on the plate. That was a super cool touch and made the experience that much better. Not to be outdone they also brought us passionfruit creme brulee, key lime pie, cheesecake and tiramisu. Each of these desserts were delicious. Sadly I was able to taste but not indulge as I have to watch my sugar intake but the rest of my party loved each option given. I can't say enough how great this dining experience was to those that I know so I wanted to share what an outstanding job Norman's did for my family and how special they made my daughter feel. True hospitality is hard to find these days and Norman's did a fine job on this visit.“

“After sorting through the hundreds of restaurants to choose from in Orlando, my husband and I compromised on Eddie V’s to celebrate our babymoon. We had both never been, but always heard great things! I wanted seafood, he wanted steak, so it was the perfect combination. We made reservations for 7, let them know we were running a little late, and they had no issues getting us right in when we arrived. Our server, Ty M. was also expecting, so we made a genuine connection from the jump. She made excellent recommendations, answered all my silly questions, and made sure to communicate with us the whole night. Everything we got was delicious, from the Wagyu Dumplings, the infamous Lump Crab Cake, and our table side Banana’s Foster. Our night was accompanied by rose petals on the table and a sweet card to congratulate our pregnancy. I love that they had spirit-free mocktails and multiple options for both my husband and I. Ty made our experience that much better, and we will remember this night forever! Thank you, Ty and the Orlando Eddie V’s family.“

“Good food at a reasonable price“

“On vacation from Arkansas and was looking forward to trying this place. We were not disappointed. I had the lobster, crab, and shrimp boil with potatoes and corn. Every bite was delicious. Wife had the fried shrimp basket. The shrimp were huge. You know it is delicious when after every bite you go, “Mmmmm.”“

“Going to Narcoossee's is something we try to do every time we go to Disney World because it is that good! Went this past week and I couldn't have been happier with the meal and service- it was one of the best dinners I have ever had. I would order this same meal if I was on death row as a final meal it was that good.

First they had amazing White Sangria which I feel like I never see and it's one of my favorite drinks. It came in a gorgeous glass with just the right amount of fruitiness and looked crisp and white. We also got the key lime pie martini which was great!

The warm loaf of bread they bring out is so good and crusty, and we tried the brisket & ricotta tortelloni which was a unique flavor combination that we enjoyed but probably would not get again. The heart of romaine salad was unexpectedly delicious with the caper vinaigrette and would recommend.

I had the Plancha-seared Scallops and my god were they good and cooked so perfectly. It was just the right portion and not too small. The side of grilled shrimp I got was also just so delicious. Surf & Turf is also great you cannot go wrong there.

Lastly, the Almond-crusted cheesecake is incredible and I could not imagine ordering anything else for dessert there.

The lakeside views and updated coastal vibe is wonderful. They open and close the front doors for you as well. Our server was fantastic and this is my favorite restaurant at DW. Thank you!

The only one little nagging thing was at the very end I commented on the way out that it was one of the best dinners I've had and the host kind of gave a minimal reaction to me, like I didn't just give them a huge compliment.“

“Excellent restaurant, delicious food and the best service!“

“We came to Michelin-starred Knife & Spoon during our stay at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip. Helmed by celebrated chef John Tesar, the restaurant focuses on premium seafood and steaks with a modern American approach, offering a refined dining experience that lives up to its reputation.

We started with a dozen fresh oysters, which were clean, briny, and wonderfully refreshing. The mussels were equally enjoyable, cooked in a rich, flavourful broth that was perfect for soaking up with the warm bread. One of the standout seafood dishes was the diver scallops, beautifully seared with a caramelised crust while remaining sweet and tender inside.

The whole local fish was another highlight. Perfectly cooked with moist, flaky flesh and a wonderfully crisp skin, it showcased the kitchen’s ability to let quality ingredients shine. The crab rice was packed with flavour and a comforting addition to the meal.

For meat lovers, the lamb loin was expertly cooked to a beautiful medium-rare, tender and juicy with excellent flavour. We also shared the impressive dry-aged ribeye, which delivered the rich beefy depth and charred crust that steak enthusiasts would appreciate.

While the pricing is certainly on the higher side, that is expected for a Michelin-starred restaurant of this calibre. The attentive service, elegant presentation, and consistently well-executed dishes made for a memorable dining experience. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and would happily return when looking for a special dinner in Orlando.“

Our anniversary of 22 years was going to be the next day and they sent us home with a piece of delicious pineapple cheesecake on the house!!! It was superb!!!!!“

“Ate here for the first time with my family of 5. Food was fantastic and our server Jarule is the man!!!“

“This was probably the best seafood boil I’ve ever had! We ordered the red crab and shrimp. The crab was huge and packed with meat, and the shrimp were an excellent size as well.

What really made the meal stand out was the sauce—it was incredibly flavorful. We chose the medium spice level, and it was just right: enough heat to enhance the flavor without overpowering it. And don’t skip the pasta—it soaked up all that delicious sauce and made the whole meal even more satisfying.

If you’re a seafood lover, this place is definitely worth a visit!“

“Big rave to this restaurant. An honest mistake was made and a few items were missing from our Uber Eats delivery. I contacted the restaurant and they immediately admitted to the error. Their asst manager personally drove the missing items directly to our hotel and even threw in some free dessert! They went over and above to quickly address and fix the issues! Would highly recommend them and the food was great.“

“Everything about the food service at the Melia Orlando was five star! From the hostess to the servers to the bartender and the chefs, my family and I were treated royally! We have never been made to feel so special! Maria, Olivia, and Lily just to name a few were simply exceptional! The food was delicious and the menu had lots of interesting variety! we had signed up for the Level experience therefore our breakfast was complementary and included in the price of our room rate.

“Visited Orlando for the weekend golfing at Bay Hill. Fresco's was recommended by the folks at the Lodge. Glad we stopped in for dinner. The food is excellent. It will be my goto on future Orlando visits.“

“Honestly for a pool restaurant, it was pretty good. It's exactly what you expect it to be. The drinks were phenomenal and they had some unique options honestly, the food was ok, the service definitely made up for it. Our server took great care of us. My wife and I ordered the jerk chicken flatbread while lounging at the pool on our staycation, and it was ok, the flavors were there, but more individually, not really working very well together. It could have been also due to the fact that the flatbread was soft, and not very crunchy, so it didn't hold up the best. Now for pool food was it good, 100% yes, would I have ordered this in a sit down restaurant, no, not a chance. The drinks though, I would order every change I get, they were delicious and very well made.“

“Always amazing food! Everything on the menu is fantastic. Friendly service and very clean. Love both locations!“
