47 Best Seafood Restaurants near Cold Spring

“I’ve been there many times and anytime I have out of state guests we always take them there! And when guests return, the first thing they ask is “Can we go to that Knotty place on the hill to eat”. Now we call it the Naughty Place on The Hill because every meal is amazing, crab boil and the naughty Bloody Mary is well amazing and Naughty! Staff is amazing as well!“

“Great food and service! Love going to el nopal!“

“My wife and I went to this restaurant today, after a great recommendation from one of my employees. This place is absolutely amazing! The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the service is completely top notch! Literally better service than I have received probably ever, and we go to A LOT of restaurants. Literally, my wife’s napkin fell to the ground and after I picked it up, the lady who was the host to us seen it and brought her a new one. Drinks did not run dry, and every single member of the staff was helping out and conversing with us. The owner and chef even came out to shake my hand. What an absolute gem in Cincinnati. This is a place NOT to miss out on. And don’t forget to order the cornbread! Hands down the best I have ever tasted. We left and wished we were hungry again and could turn around and go back inside.“

“This was our first time and the food was excellent. Our server was wonderful providing suggestions and recommendations.“

“BFG is my favorite seafood restaurant around! They always have the freshest and best fish, shrimp, crab, and steak dishes rotating on the menu year round. You simply cannot beat their Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer. Their service is fantastic, personal, fast and friendly. The atmosphere inside is so relaxing in the dining room or bar area. I've been eating here for years and have never had a bad dish. I love this place and they certainly make ya feel special. Always a winner and highly recommend it to everyone. Keep up the great work guys. Yummo 😋!!“

“Got the cheesecake and the amount of sauce that came with it hardly covered the bottom of the little ramikin. I wonder if they give the same tiny amount to the people actually dining in?“

“Carrabba's Crestview had always served well. One of our daughters suggested it for a family meal out during the height of the Holidays - awesome. Tonight, we met up with friends for dinner (their suggestion) and Corey and the kitchen were wonderful!“

“Wow, another GREAT dinner here with William Howard being my new all time host extrodonaire. I my new mantra at work is be like William. Couldn't possibly have been better. THANK YOU!

Maggie took OUTSTANDING care of me with friendliness and great insights on food and wine options. Fantastic experience after a couple of long work days. Thank you!

“Bummer this place used to be so good went early to get in on Saturday ngt, when we left at 630 on Saturday night the place was dead. The oysters and clam chowder was the best, not worth going to anymore@“

“Come and enjoy nice people and great food“

“The fried fish was so yummy and mouth watering, just an out of this world experience for me. We brought fried catfish and they were just excellent. I fell in love with the fried fish burger with tomatoes, onions. The only downside was that the fries were quite soft not the traditional crispy ones we would expect but I don't have that much to say against it. I plan to go there again since I just cannot help it....Thanks,Saikat“

“My mom and I had dinner here just before the kitchen closed, so it wasn’t super busy. Our server, Johnathan, took amazing care of us and was knowledgeable on gluten free items. We ordered the artichokes and beet salad which were delicious, and they even had gluten free bread for our hummus appetizer. There was a kitchen error with the add on of beef tenderloin to my salad but our server took excellent care in correcting it and the manager even came by to ensure we were happy with the service. We finished the dinner with gluten free shot glass desserts and will definitely go back!“

Quinn was on top of everything and even though I just ordered a salad and fries, he treated me as if I had ordered the most expensive entree and bottle of wine.

The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring your meal suits your taste. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Sichuan flavors!“

The shrimp was extremely delicious.

The fried rice needs some peas & carrots. Please.

Nice people.“

“Shires has inspired me to write. My experience was fit for a foodie and exceeded my expectations. The food, service and ambiance were all spot on.
Upon arrival, my friend and I received news that there would be a short wait for our table, so we grabbed a seat at the bar.
I appreciated their variety of craft cocktails and decided on the Smokey Harvest. Composed of Mezcal, apple cider and a delicious spiced demerara syrup, omgoodness! It was interesting, well-balanced and tasty. My friend ordered the Raven with rum and ginger beer as its main ingredients.
A little before both cocktails were ready, we were notified that our outdoor table was available.
Immediately stepping onto the rooftop, I knew that’s where I belonged. The view of the riverfront was stunning! It also helped that the weather was absolutely perfect.
Now for the food.
We ordered fried green tomatoes and spinach dip to start. For our entrees, my friend ordered a burger and I, the mushroom tagliatelle. My dish was phenomenal. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the hint of truffle sealed the deal.
The Reds won that night, so our experience ended with the beignets for dessert and fireworks.
What a perfect night.“

“Enjoyed having dinner here. Great food and great drinks. Other reviews say service isn't the greatest. I only experienced it in the latter half of my meal when it got more busy. To be fair, there were 2 servers covering the entire restaurant. Not the server's fault for slower service, only management's fault.
The arcade part of the restaurant was underwhelming. They have 15 or so games, half of which are pinball machines. Only had 1 pool table too.“

“By far the best General Tso, egg roll and steamed rice I’ve had in years! My Hubby, daughter and teenage son love the crab rangoons and sweet&sour chicken! Definitely will be ordering from them again!“

“Restaurant was extremely busy but still delivered the service and timing we desired. Told waiter we needed to be paid out by a certain time and they gave us dessert and the check with five minutes to spare. Great job and food was super hot and tasty.“

“I had the pleasure of going to this restaurant earlier this week. The margaritas were fabulous! The food I ordered was simply delicious and I cannot give enough kudos to my server Eber. I asked for his name so I could specifically include him in this review. What a nice server and so professional as well as attentive. I’m certain the other servers are very good, but I certainly will be asking for him at my next visit which may become a weekly routine.“

“Food was amazing. Service was great. Abby, Jawan, Derrick were all fantastic.“
