9 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!“

“Awesome food and service! Very friendly staff!“

“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.“

“Good food, great steamers. But the bees wow. I literally bought a soda just to try to deter the lovely 5 we had away from our table. Didn’t really work, so we ate in the car. Idk what they can do about that situation, but yeah. Can’t really enjoy it and I wanted to“

“My Friday night go to! Gets me through the week. While their lobster stew is far superior than any I have ever had (even mine) my regular meal choice is the chicken tenders in seafood breading (allergy to pepper in regular breading).

Mixed seafood platter (shared with my husband) is our celebration meal. Coleslaw is better than most in the region.

Loyalty rewards are easy to earn and was new, added last year.“

“Mussels & Brussels to start. Bolognese is tremendous. Beautiful rooms and decor“

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

“First time in my almost 70 years and decided to finally drive down with my best friend and it did not disappoint. We waited 2 hrs,made some friends along the way and the lobster roll was unbelievable. This will be a tradition now,GREAT job Reds“
