37 Best Seafood Restaurants in Minneapolis

“I have only heard about this place due to the club that opens there at 10, and decided to try the dinner menu with my mom. I was not disappointed! We both got a beverage, appetizer and an entree. There was a slight issue with one of the entrees and our server and manager took great care of us. Will highly recommend this to other friends and family!“

“Everything is good the wings and fried rice is the best the fish is crispy and fresh the fries are just the way I like them they are the best and the price is right it won't break the bank loe love it been going to seafood to go for as long as I been in MN and that's for 30 years they only gets better“

“We stopped here on December 24th looking for fresh lutefisk and were pleased to find we could buy a 5lb filet. The lutefisk was amazing I was told and in the future we will be sure to call ahead and place the order. The manager was running back and forth with several options before we decided to just buy the 5lb filet. I can say I was amazed, they cooked it in the oven and when I returned that evening I could hardly smell anything other than the usual air fresheners we have in the house.

So thanks again for helping keep a Christmas tradition alive and hope the girls hockey team does great.“

“We stumbled upon "Barwaqo" as it's now called when we were headed to the Electric Fetus for a book signing event; apparently this place changed hands about a month ago (Oct 2023) so previous reviews under the old Cala name are not relevant. We felt very welcomed by the owner and staff, and had an amazing dinner of Somali chicken and rice, sambusa, and the spinach dish which game with roasted goat and a fava bean soup with glutinous rice cakes. Everything was fresh and delicious and obviously made with a lot of care, and all of the food we got only came to about $45. We were thrilled to have randomly taken a chance on an unknown place and we will go back in the future. When we talked to the owner outside afterwards, I asked one of the staff what "barwaqo" means in Somali and he said "gift" but when I looked it up, it means "prosperity." Take a chance on this place at the corner of Clinton/Franklin instead of the Wendy's across the street!“

“I was pleasantly surprised that the food was very good. I had the filet, and it was cooked perfectly. The filet was juicy, tender, and delicious. I also enjoyed the vegetables that came with it, including the fingerling potatoes. Everyone else at the table enjoyed their food, including the steak bites, steak salad, and the walleye. It did take quite a long time to get our food, but luckily, it was worth the wait. The dining room was a bit chilly, but was clean and comfortable. The server did a good job.“

“My husband had gotten off work and it was almost closing. I hate doing that but I was starving. We got food that was awesome and the gentleman taking our order was very awesome and helpful and the place was very clean and very comfortable! Best wings and cat fish I've had for a long time! Great job guys! Thanks so much!!“

“The actual best smoked fish, fresh fish, tinned fish, specialty cheese and accoutrements. You won't find 50 options, but you'll find the best 5, which is why I ADORE this place. The staff are SO kind, love to yap with you about fish, and even struck up a conversation with my 6 year old about clams and flamingos. I'll pick this place every time.“

“These folks have known how to do fine dining for decades. One of my favorites growing up and now I take my own kids.“

“The meals are consistently fantastic. I’ve never had a bad meal at this restaurant over the last few years. The ingredients are high quality, fresh, and well prepared. The dishes come out delicious every time. It makes dining incredibly easy when I know I can choose anything on the menu and it will be great. The service is also incredible. Knowledgeable, prompt, and friendly staff. The dining and bar areas are equally beautiful in distinctive ways. Very pleasing to the eye. Zelo is a must try downtown, and if you do, it will become one of your go to restaurants for a nice night out.“

“Quiet restaurant with kind, quick service and delicious food. We have been searching for a good ramen spot in the Twin Cities for over a year, and this place did not disappoint!
We enjoyed the sashimi appetizer, Viking Roll, gyoza, teriyaki chicken, and ramen. Yum!!“

“A go to for us when we are in town. Drinks are perfectly balanced. Had the Capital grill martini, very nice and just a hint of the pineapple. Wife had the black tie margarita. Amazing. Filet cooked perfectly and bone in ribeye had lots of flavor. Will be back.“

“Always so good! Chef's special dry tofu is the best!!“

“Technically, I didn't eat here. I went grocery shopping in the surrounding store area. It was really hard to find employee assistance, but the shelves were well-stocked and the store was neat and clean. I found a ton of delicious ethnic groceries!“

“We had wonderful service from Sheila this evening, and the food was delicious! Everything was amazing!! 10/10 would recommend! 🦞“

“I am obsessed with this place. The food is amazing, the service is wonderful, and it is such a pretty, clean and modern space. The vegetarian options are endless. The street foods are exceptional and you can't get this stuff just anywhere. It's very special. I'm so grateful for this place.“

“first time eating at this restaurant, very nice surprise! my server Bree was very helpful and gave me good recommendations. she was very cheerful and makes me feel very welcomed. if I have time i will definitely visit again.“

“Great experience tonight! It was my first time visiting. Robert was SO great! I’ve been wanting to come here for a while. Robert took great care of us. Food and drink suggestions were perfect and he answered any and all questions we had. Very attentive. The manager also stopped by and greeted us. Food was fresh and delicious! I cannot say enough amazing things about this place 🥰“

“The meal was amazing, as always. But what made this special was our server, Dave. He made great suggestions and was on top of our every need! All of the staff we met were great and the manager stopped at the end which was lovely as well. Highly recommend the crème brûlée for dessert. The molten lava cake was ok but the crème brûlée was our favorite.“

“good foods and friendly staff.“

“The best sushi downtown at an amazing price 🤤“

“So delicious, and a friendly setting. We so appreciate this yummy, locally owned spot, and it's support of the pop up art gallery on the corner too.“

“I really like this place but everytime I order takeout something is forgotten. Like today I was looking forward to their queso sauce ($7.99 🤯) and only realized they forgot it after I got home. They just leave the bag at the front desk, and I don't know if I'm supposed to wait for someone to show up or what.“

“The ginger scallion fried lobster here is absolutely amazing — I get it every single time I come! I normally don’t lick my fingers, but I do here and I don’t even care 😂. The food is consistently delicious, the service is great, and the place feels cozy and welcoming, like home. My family has been coming here for over 15 years, and it never disappoints. Highly recommend 100%!“

“5 stars great food and great service!!!!“

“My fav place to brunch!!!“

“Great authentic Cantonese restaurant, were friendly staff and got super good food. Menu is pretty long but you can find very good food from there.“

“More options than most local poké restaurants. Artfully crafted custom bowls are their specialty. Plan to take time to review their substantial menu of traditional poké favorite ingredients. Several salmon and tuna choices along with other protein options allow for a variety of tasty options.
Be sure to try their pickled radish option, it's mouth watering.“

“I don’t think I’ve been quite disappointed this much to be honest. Everything was too salty, the gizzards were so tough I had to throw it away…. Perch was salty, coleslaw was alright. It is too bad I had this experience because I was really hoping for a good fish place to come once a week“

“Just my favorite wings in the cities. Nice and crisp with an amazing seasoning. I recommend to everyone that talks about the best wings. I ordered 100 wings over the phone and they promptly had the order done and made sure I had everything I needed.“
