50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Baltimore

“Been a huge fan of Chef Jasmine Norton for several years. When our plans changed and we postponed our annual anniversary trip to Jamaica, there was no other restaurant that I wanted to have dinner in than The Urban Oyster. From the moment we walked in the door and were greeted by their warm and staff, it set the tone for the entire experience. We started off with raw oysters from Chincoteague and Canada that were flavorful and had the perfect balance of flavor and salt. I then indulged in the lobster bisque which had me wanting more but I knew I needed to save room for the main course. I selected the Seared Scallops and my husband had the Branzino. Both dishes were perfectly prepared and left us with no room for dessert. My only regret is that I didn’t take pictures for the review because we were too busy enjoying every moment! Urban Oyster, you exceeded this foodie’s expectations and we will be back soon! Thank you for making our 15th anniversary so special!“

“The food and staff were amazing!“

“Authentic New Orleans food!“

“The view goes on forever and it is so much fun to pick out landmarks in the distance. The room is handsome and comfy. Sue was a fabulous waitress , making suggestions, chatting with us, etc. The menu was tempting. The food was good, but not everything was excellent, but we would still go back.“

“Exceptional Service, Made Our Meal Even Better!”

I just have to give a huge shoutout to our server, Enrique who made our experience at Baltimore Seafood absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we sat down, Enrique was friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. They took the time to walk us through the specials and offer recommendations based on our preferences, which made choosing our dishes so much easier.

What really stood out was how knowledgeable Enrique was about the seafood on the menu. They could easily answer every question we had about the sourcing and preparation of each dish. It was clear that they took pride in the restaurant’s offerings and cared about making our meal the best it could be.

Throughout the evening, they checked in just the right amount—never hovering, but always making sure we had everything we needed. They also made great wine pairings suggestions, which were spot on. It’s rare to get such personalized service, and it really elevated our dining experience.

Thanks to Enrique , our evening at [Restaurant Name] was truly memorable. We’ll be back soon, and hopefully, we get to have them as“

“Chris K was amazing during my visit to Jimmy’s! He was welcoming, attentive, and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. His great energy and professionalism really stood out and made the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend asking for Chris when you come in!“

“Rusty Scupper was amazing. The goold was delicious but what really set them apart was how they went the extra mile for my parents anniversary dinner. I got my parents a gift card and made reservations, in the reservation saying it wasy parents anniversary celebration, could they give them a quiet table. They did that and so very much more. My mom can't stop talking about how incredible they were, how special she felt, how incredible the food was and how she had 3 wait staff, one in training but she had never felt so special in her life. Her excitement and joy makes me smile and I want everyone to know that Rusty Scupper could have set them in a nice table and said Happy Anniversary, that would have been great service but what they did was make an unforgettable memory for my parents. Going above and beyond, thank you Rusty Scupper staff, thank you so very much. You gave my parents an experience that is above and beyond "like something out of a movie" mom keeps saying!!!!“

“seafood broil snow crab legs fish platter everything is soooo good“

“Definitely a 10/10 spot went there around 7:30 for dinner !! Food was awesome and in good prices I got a crab cake for 18$ with a 2 dollar add on for fries and coleslaw. Recommend getting there early just because wait times are crazy. Service was awesome I was there 5/21 and sitting on the first floor outside the server was amazing but sadly I can’t remember the young girls name she was tall and skinny. I’m definitely coming back!!!“

“Food was delicious!!!! Delivered nice and hot. It was almost too pretty to eat. I can’t wait to order again!!“

“My 60th surprise dinner was held here and it was festive and the waitstaff and food were amazing!“

“Food was bomb and the service was on point“

“You know a restaurant is top notch when you’re willing to miss a flight just to dine there. That’s how I feel about Costas Inn. I had my first taste of their amazing, heavy, and very sweet crabs a few years ago, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Now, I gladly make the two-hour drive just to order six crabs — though I never make it past three! But what truly sets this place apart is the family atmosphere. Every visit feels like coming home. You’re always welcomed with a warm smile, and with every bite, you’re reminded why you came back. Tonight was extra special. Not only did I get to meet the owner’s daughter, who embodies the heartwarming smile and customer service this place is known for, but I was also lucky to be served by Dominic, our waiter. With the cutest smile and an attentive, friendly attitude, he made sure our experience was perfect from start to finish. If you ever get the chance to visit, don’t hesitate — grab a seat and start cracking!“

“Always good always hot always fresh i also love how neatly the crabs r placed in the bag an season is on time!!!!! Dave is always kind prices always great wish i could give 1000 stars keep up the great work Dave I appreciate u“

“Facebook Review: Luna Del Sea is a must-visit restaurant in downtown Baltimore! Not only is it conveniently located for convention-goers, but it also offers some of the best food in the area. The menu is packed with delicious options at very reasonable prices, and the warm, welcoming staff makes every visit feel special. They go above and beyond to ensure you have an incredible dining experience—by the end of your meal, you’ll feel like part of the family. Marc (The tall one!) and Danny are legendary for service and attention to detail! The true heart of Luna Del Sea is its owner, Tony. His inspiring story of entrepreneurial success is a testament to hard work and determination. If you’re in Baltimore, don’t miss the chance to enjoy the outstanding food, exceptional service, and uplifting atmosphere of Luna Del Sea. Highly recommend!“

“I was sooo excited to try this place after my boyfriend kept talking about it. We went on a Saturday evening and had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. We were seated upstairs. Our waitress Mellisa was AMAZING!!!!! She offered her suggestions on what to order. She also made theeeee BEST Long Island Iced Teas!!! She mentioned she has been with the company/restaurant and I can tell why! She is a GEM! I ordered the lump crab cake that came with shrimp and asparagus. I ordered rosemary potatoes as an additional side. He ordered the Lump crab imperial (came in a small black skillet) and had a sauce in it. Food was very tasteful!!! I even had some leftover to take home. Believe the hype! This IS SEAFOOD at its finest!!“

“Simply put…W O W! The history alone drew me to stop in. The food will keep me coming back! If you haven’t, why? Incredible crabs and a clean, relaxed atmosphere and staff! See y’all again SOON!“

“The Capital Grill is our favorite restaurant especially for special occasions. Our most recent dining was on the occasion of our 52nd Wedding Anniversary. As always, excellent Menu selection superb wait staff. I cannot recall the gentleman who served us however, upon seeing him, recalled that with the assistance of another member of the staff on the occasion of my wife's 70th Birthday took great care of us.“

“I'll definitely go back. The Food was amazing.“

“The food was excellent and the atmosphere was excellent and waiters was excellent thank you for good prepared food“

While calling to order the young man I spoke with was very patient and helpful while I asked questions to ensure eating the food was safe for my dietary restrictions.“

“The bartenders were amazing.The manager CJ was great. Food needs a little bit of help. Views are unparalleled.“

“Angelo provided wonderful service! The food was delicious, the location and view were beautiful, and we enjoyed sitting outside. The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere, and I'm looking forward to coming back to try the dinner menu.“

“I had fried chicken and French fries, and it was exactly how I like it. It was well done and well-seasoned. Actually, it was the best and had it twice in a row. He listened to what I wanted, and he made it happened.“

“Something Magical about this place! Crabs are very heavy and reasonably priced. My "fav"is Snow Crab Legs and that golden steamed corn on cobb. Staff members, always smiling, very knowledgeable about their product; each one seems very happy to have his/her job, so courteous. BLAKE'S is the Best in Baltimore!“

“I can’t say enough good things about this place! Every time we go here for dinner, we always enjoy! The staff is friendly and the owner Jerome is awesome! He comes to the table not only to greet you and to make sure everything is okay. He even takes the empty dishes off the table. He’s always helping out around the restaurant. Love this place!!!“

“Great crabs great customer service“

“Never had a bad experience here! The crabs and service are always on point!“

“We went to Indigma this evening for restaurant week. The food was fantastic and my nine-year-old loved everything! She gave it a 1523/10 rating! Though everything was excellent, the creme brulee was the best I've ever had. Thank you for a fantastic meal!“

“I can always count on good tasting food at Crazy Down Home. I have only been to the Randallstown location. I have had the fried chicken, fried fish, fried liver with gravy, steamed crabs, chitterlings, home fries with onions, fried green beans, collard greens, mixed vegetables, vegetable lo mein, and fried cabbage. My son loves the cheese steak subs.“

“One of the best dining experiences you can have. Every bite was absolutely perfect. We literally tried just about everything on the menu. To say we were impressed is an understatement. I literally can't wait to come back! Chef Austin personally came out to check on us. He's just insanely talented. Thank you!“

“We had our daughters bridal shower their on Saturday March 4th. It was for 50 people. The food and the service was excellent. They went above, what we expected. The chef came out spoke to us and assisted in any way they could. The service was wonderful. If you are looking for a venu to host a party, "Hull Street Blues " is it. Wonderful, wonderful, service and great people !“

“The 2 ladies were very nice they went above and beyond when they didn’t have too. I work industry and hospitality is a big deal where I come from in SC I don’t mind tipping and i understand at the end of the night when closing everybody is ready to go but they were very nice and still made sure to be professional and I will be back just because of that

Remember Tesh I have an addiction to crabs this my first time and won’t be my last“

“Food has always been delicious however… …the last beef bao sandwich was disappointing because I had to search for the meat through the vegetation. Flavors are always on point but when the protein is missing…. This is always my concern when an establishment grows too large, the quality starts to wane. Regards Sent from my iPhone“

“Dear Brittany,

I wanted to express how amazing the food and ecstatic decor were during my recent visit. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience even better. The food is like no other—clearly made with love every time. Whenever I’m in town, this place is a must-visit. Keep up the great work!

Best regards,
Erica B.“

“There comes a time when one is looking for good food, without going into a formal restaurant, or driving to the nearest chain dinner. GOLDIES is GOLDEN!!!! The food is excellent,they serve HEAVY HEAVY dishes,the staff is pleasant,and Mr. Randy,the owner is hilarious.. I advise everyone to support this family owned restaurant. I promise they will not disappoint...“

“Some times there can be so much salt but if you let them know they will not put as much I've been coming here for a years and the experience is always top-notch. The staff is consistently friendly, helpful, and professional—they really make you feel welcome every time. On top of that, the prices are hard to beat, especially for the quality of crabs you get. Fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned! If you're looking for a go-to spot for great crabs and great service, this is definitely it.“

“question ! why are the uncooked 11oz crab cakes more than the 11oz cooked crab cakes that come with sides?“

“Fire. Def give these folks a try!“

“Crabs, crabs, crabs. Im shocked to find out so many people don't realize Chris' sells crabs. My family have been going here for years and we've never had a bad dozen from Chris'. Nice sizes, healthy crabs, steamed perfecr, and we seasoned.

Call a day or two ahead to really get the sizes you want.“

“Sotto Sopra has quickly become my favorite Italian restaurant. The food is marvelous as is the atmosphere and service👌🏻. I especially adore the Polenta Fritta Bergamot appetizer, the Pumpkin Pasta entrée, and the Pistachio Tiramisu dessert. The ambiance and decor are perfection. I can’t wait to come back for dinner on an opera night! We are lucky to have such an all-around exquisite restaurant in Baltimore. Grazie mille, Sotto Sopra! 🇮🇹🍝“

“I was greeted promptly when I came in the store. The cashier was friendly and very helpful. I ordered a chicken box with a half and half. The food was made to order and was fresh and hot. The waiting area had a few chairs to sit on. It appeared to be a Latin fusion style menu. The food was good.“
