30 Best Seafood Restaurants in Minneapolis

“My favorite summer restaurant! Some favorites: fried oyster basket, fried fish, tacos, catfish po’boy“

“Great seafood boil!!! I’ve been to a couple in the city and I think this might be the best one yet. The seafood is fresh, the sauce is well seasoned and I thought the price was pretty good for the variety of seafood you get. Just a heads up; there are 3 levels of spicy, we got the 1st level and it was pretty spicy so maybe get something less spicy if you do not have a good spice tolerance.

Butter was an awesome server! Helped us choose the best options for us.“

“One hell of a lobster roll. A bit pricey but left me full and happy. Jonathan was great behind the bar and was super friendly even though I think I was one of the first /only people to sit down inside. I was there around 11:30 / noon so I’m sure the evening brings around a much more lively atmosphere.“

“Awesome seafood shop. I guess it's probably pricey but I grew up near the coast so I'm probably used to cheaper prices anyway. Everything is quality and clearly curated very meticulously with a lot of passion for food. They have some pretty cool luxury items like otoro and King Crab.

The kitchen is the back has one of the best burgers in the cities. I can't speak for any of the other dishes because I always get the burger anyway.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Excellent food, great service🇺🇸“

“Everything at this restaurant was delicious the guacamole was the best I’ve ever had there were four of us and each enjoyed our meal. The service was excellent look forward to coming back“

“We had a terrific meal at the Capital Grille, made special by our waiter Ryan who was extremely personable and well versed in the menu. The atmosphere was classic upscale and well maintained. The food was impressive. We ordered tenderloin with lobster, fillet mignon Oscar style, and the famous au gratin potatoes. Before the main course we were delighted with an array of breads and a delicious amuse-bouche. We skipped salad to keep room for dessert, which was in our opinion a smart play because the cheesecake and crème brûlée was a marvelous way to cap our evening. Highly recommend the Capital Grille. Ask for Ryan if you happen to visit.“

“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!“

“Excellent food. Kale salad with salmon was perfectly cooked and tossed in a delightful dressing. Service was prompt and friendly. Location is ideal off the lobby. The TVs and size of the place made it feel like the upper-end hotel restaurant it is. An excellent choice for a family dinner.“

“The cashier was really friendly. I asked about the juices and which would be the sweetest and he let me try it first. Ended up loving it. The food was amazing ! Hot honey chicken quesadillas with the best French fries 🍟 ever. Also came with ketchup, sour cream, and a spicy avocado salsa. Hot and fresh and will definitely go back.“

“i came to visit Minneapolis from Wisconsin.... and a friend recommended this to me.... so I came and it didn't disappoint... my waitress and the owner made me feel at home and the pork chop... cheesy bread and macaroni and cheese was phenomenal! and the service was AMAZING!!!“

“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!!“

“My mom and I had different variations of Poke! So delicious and employees are friendly. You get alot of poke in comparison to rice which was a nice surprise!!“

“The best sushi downtown at an amazing price 🤤“

“Well, you ruined me. I can never go out and get a ribeye at any other restaurant. I have one to two ribeyes a week at high end restaurants. Yours was supreme! There is no second place! The service was top notch from the hostess to the server to the expeditor to the table clean up. I only wished they were not 240 miles away!!“

“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 🥰“

“good foods and friendly staff.“

“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.“

“The food was simply delicious that we had to unbutton our pants. Definitely enjoyed all the dishes we had from start to finish. The portion sizes are generous and we had to take away our food. Definitely recommend checking this place out! The interior also had very great ambience and it’s a good spot for celebration meals or if you just wanna try some good Indian food in the cities. 100/10“

“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.“
