27 Best Seafood Restaurants near Nicholasville

“This location actually had one of the better platters I've ever had ar a D's. The fish was super crunchy (not soggy with oil) and the coleslaw and green beans tasted pretty good. The gal at the counter was super courteous and patient while my FIL decided what it was he wanted. Overall, it was a good food experience. Bring back the lobster roll!!! 😁🤙“

“So glad to see LJS is making a comeback!! This was a newer location and our food was amazing! Everything was hot, fresh and perfectly accurate. Our only complaint was the drive-thru speaker is hard to hear primarily because of the busy traffic noise, but this will not prevent us from coming back!“

“Had a couples date night with friends last night Pros: cool atmosphere -good cocktails-festive delish well garnished -pasta pasta pasta -unique ingredients in meals -pretty dinnerware -Candice (perfect service) -creative dessert concepts -lounge area Cons: I think they should stay with their roots even though they believe it’s a misconception they are an Italian restaurant-their pasta is perfection. Wasn’t so much impressed with the pork tenderloin as I was with the pasta.“

“I LOVE WALT'S FAVORITE SHRIMP. I TELL ALL MY FRIENDS THE STORY OF WALT.“

“Zen Sushi is by far the best sushi spot in Kentucky. Chef is amazing at ensuring that the flavor experience is unmatched. Very pleased!“

“During our visit to Kentucky’s Bourbon Country, we had the distinct pleasure of dining at what has quickly become our favorite restaurant in the area. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The food was nothing short of outstanding—flavorful, expertly prepared, and perfectly paired with a diverse and impressive collection of bourbons. What truly set this restaurant apart, however, was the warm and welcoming atmosphere, which made it feel like more than just a meal out, but rather an experience shared with friends. The staff’s hospitality and dedication to making every guest feel at home contributed to what was undoubtedly a memorable evening. We are already eagerly anticipating our next visit and look forward to enjoying another fantastic meal, discovering more exceptional bourbons, and sharing the experience with some great friends. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Bourbon Country region—whether you're a bourbon enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates great food and service.“

“I treated myself to lunch at Storming Crab today after receiving good news during a doctor’s visit today. I normally go to the other seafood boil restaurant, but since I was on this side of town, I thought I’d give it a try. I’m very glad I did! The food and service are excellent. Vivianne was my server and she took wonderful care of me. The food was very good, hot and fresh, and not overcooked or rubbery (snow crab and head off shrimp). The crab legs were a good size and the shrimp were huge. I chose crab house Cajun flavor and spice level hot, which really isn’t that hot - it’s just pleasantly spicy & flavorful. The complimentary seafood bread was also delicious. I will definitely be back and highly recommend Storming Crab. The only criticism I have is the appearance of the parking lot makes the restaurant seem rundown (weeds and trash), but the inside is fine and clean.“

“Best food, service and staff!!!“

“Very good! Food and staff were wonderful. Try the croquettes!“

“Today my bestie and I tried Korean BBQ for the first time and it was AMAZING!!! First off the staff (I didn’t get the young ladies name) was BEYOND amazing she helped us choose our food and showed us all that we needed to do with cooking our own food. She was super sweet. The food was freaking amazing! We had the meat and seafood. Our first time trying squid and it was pretty good. We felt warm and welcomed here and it was truly an authentic experience. We definitely plan on returning to try more things.“

“This was my first Omakase experience, and it honestly exceeded my expectations. It wasn’t just about the food, but the entire experience—the chef’s attention to detail, the freshness of each ingredient, and the care behind every single bite. I didn’t have to think or choose anything, just trust the process and enjoy the moment. Now I truly understand why Omakase is so special. The chef name Fred so friendly I will be back again for sure ❤️🙏🏼🩷“

“Delicious! The best Mongolian chicken! I swear I have searched all of Lexington looking for this Mongolian chicken recipe, and nothing else compares!“

“We had such a great experience. Our server Amoni was so thorough, attentive, and just a pleasure all around. Super helpful is us picking the best dishes and checked in regularly. The food was great! We got the steak salad (recommended by Amoni) and the chicken tenders which were both perfect!“

“I visited for the first time today for the lunch buffet and decided to get a small amount of every dish offered as my experience with Indian cuisine has been sadly minimal (first time living in an area with this option). The staff was welcome, the service impeccable, and I am not exaggerating when I say I loved every single thing on my plate. This is my new favorite and I plan to come back often. Highly recommend!!!“

“My mom and her fiancé drove in from Gulf Shores, AL to attend my son’s (her grandson’s) college graduation from UK. I was able to book them 2 night at the Clarion for the event. After Saturday’s commencement, we wanted to celebrate. My mom and her fiancé were so impressed with Sedona Taphouse from the previous evening, that they treated us to an early dinner along with some drinks there. It was amazing from the appetizers to the drinks to the entrees. Our server was a delight, but we also had the pleasure of meeting the GM, Ben as he came over to not only check on us, but to shake my son’s hand and personally congratulate him on his achievement. He really made a big deal about his accomplishment and even went as far to pay for his meal, drinks and dessert. So unexpected! Ben went above & beyond and that food and atmosphere was outstanding. We frequent Lexington often, I’ve found my new spot for lunch or dinner. Thank you Ben!! We can’t thank you enough for making Mason’s special day even more memorable.“
