7 Best Seafood Restaurants near Richmond

“First time customer visiting from Missouri. Had never heard of this place before but only needed to hear one word - “lobster”. Got a warm lobster roll and it hit the spot! Wish we had these in Missouri!“

“Went and had a steak dinner. The food was amazing, the staff person was top notch. Pricing was reasonable. The lounge area had a nice laid back vibe to it and wasn’t too loud. I’ll definitely be back for more!“

“Great company and great food and so on.“

“Let me put the cart before the horse and tell you this was one of the best, if not the best, experiences I have had at a restaurant. Corrinna was lovely. She took time to explain to this uninitiated wine consumer the differences between wines, glasses, and tasting, as well as pairing with foods. Speaking of food, this was also splendid. We started with oysters, which was a first, calamari, pork belly, arancini, and focaccia that melted in your mouth. My main course was the Swordfish with sweet potato puree, fingerling, and swordfish "bacon" jam. This is a silent gem that I selfishly stays quiet for my purposes, but Back River Bistro needs to be visited by anyone who loves a small curated dining experience. Much success to Matt & Corrinna. It is much deserved.“

“They always have some of the best fried food around, especially the onion rings!!!
The scallops portion seemed a little small at first, but the cook noticed the same and brought out a few more, which made me feel they cared about their food and customers. I stop here every year after Monkey C, and you should too!
The crab roll is also good 👍“

“great fixture in the community for a place to meet after work and have a glass of wine. really enjoyed“

“By far our favorite restaurant in the Midcoast area. Always delicious food and great service. If you need gluten free options this is the place.“
