50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Kirkwood

“Great experience!
We arrived shortly after 430pm and we're taken immediately to a seat and we're given some seafood bread.
Our food came pretty fast.
We had the boudin balls, fried catfish, fried gator, and 3lbs of snow crab legs.
Everything was delicious!! Can't wait to go back.“

“Great food and friendly staff. We tried the meatball sandwich on cheese bread and the Italian beef. Both were excellent. A generous portion of juicy meat and cheese on fresh bread. The potato salad and pasta salad were very flavorful. Looking forward to our next visit.“

“Really good food! Fantastic service, very good food selection, simply outstanding.“

“Their excellent fish and they even have frog legs and homemade ice cream.“

“We both had halibut with 2 sides that were outstanding. I had asparagus risotto and cauliflower with cheese. The Caesar salad was delicious with strips of Parmesan cheese! And the halibut was juicy and prepared to perfection. We had a delicious, delightful dinner!“

“I’ve come here for dinner several times. It’s great for a date night with my husband or for birthday dinner with the family. I’ve truly enjoyed everything we’ve ordered.“

“I highly recommend Krab Kingz. Everything was perfect!!!“

“OMG. First time ever being here. Truly had an amazing first impression on everything. I enjoyed the Alabama Slammer beverage We had the seafood artichoke dip and alligator bites for appetizers I enjoyed the parmesan encrusted red snapper, green beans, and mashed potatoes Banana pudding cheesecake Everything was delicious The restaurant staff were friendly, especially our server Hana- she was truly astonishing and sweet. Attentive and definitely made the experience that much better. The restaurant was perfect, clean, and smelled good. I will be back. I gotta try that brunch, too.“

“We came across this place on accident, and we were pleasantly surprised. The gyro plate is phenomenal, as was the chicken shawarma! We were so pleased with these two meals, that we forgot we ordered the tabouleh. WOW! Refreshing and amazing! I can't wait to come back. The woman working there did it all, and she deserves a raise! Ammas Kitchen will definitely have our support from here on out!“

“Very nice. Professional staff. Romantic tables.“

“Amazing late lunch❣️ Nice Decor👍🏽 Shaved brussel sprout salad with salmon was Fabulously Delicious! Blueberry Lemon Martini was perfect😋 Thank you Kyle for great service with a smile🙂“

“We wanted Italian food and we decided to go on the hill to Zia‘s. We ordered pasta dishes, which was extremely nice portion size. The bread was delicious when you dip it in olive oil. I also had the French martini which was delicious. I think if you have a taste for Italian food pasta, you couldn’t find a better place.“

“Best filet I’ve had at a restaurant in years—perfectly cooked and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The au poivre sauce was rich and dreamy. Warm, crusty bread with their butter-olive oil combo started things off right. Shrimp scampi was spot-on. Fries with the steak were crisp and addictive, especially with the aioli and ketchup. Sat at the bar—service was good, just needed a touch more attention. Overall, killer meal. I’ll be back.

“THIS POST IS ABOUT THE HOLLYWOOD CASINO LOCATION.... I SAW NO OPTION TO REVIEW ON THAT PAGE. HOLLYWOOD CASINO CHARLIE GITTO's.... MELISSA IS AN AMBASSADOR TO YOUR BRAND!!!! After taking our Grandchildren for pics with Santa, we stopped at Charlie Gitto's and were WOWED by Melissa and her teammates. Our four grandkids; ages 13 to 1, were all treated with respect, acknowledged and included, and able to see for themselves what kind of great service they should both provide in their future careers and expect from the providers they choose. The food was great, (veal, steak, seafood pasta, calamari, mocktails and cocktails, apps to dessert all was wow.) The table was perfect for our needs. The kids weren't trapped in a booth so if they needed they could have gone to restroom... but they were never bored or impatient. Everything was timed perfectly. Our Middle fella could watch the kitchen while he anticipated his dessert. Melissa coordinated the food runners, bussers etc all while making sure we had all we needed for a wow evening. Seriously.. management... listen.. I don't know her but If I thought I could hire Melissa away... I'd try. Do what you need to keep her and people will keep coming back. My wife and our grandchildren were all very happy to have a dinner we won't forget. Bottom line... the kids talked more about dinner than they did about Santa. Thank you Melissa and thank you Charlie Gitto's.“

“Fantastic food and service. I love their margaritas, chips and salsa are also yummy. My favorite spot here in STL after moving here from Californa.“

“The steak was superior (sliced filet mignon) a 10/10 and fairly priced. The noise level was acceptable compared to similar venues equally crowded. The service could have been better. I ordered a wedge salad with my steak that never came to the table. We (party of 5) had one round of drinks and weren't asked about drinks again. They brought the check and never asked if we cared for desert or coffee. It may have been a long day for them and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. I will come back ;)“

“Good food, good customer service“

“Very good gizzards and wings! Nice crispy cooked fully gizzards! I stopped eating gizzards years ago because of London and Sons failure to hold good food after the passing of the throan, no one had gizzards like them. But after being introduced to Hooks recently , this is the place for good fried tasty food! Check them out in the little plaza!“

“First time visit. Went for our anniversary. The attention to detail was excellent. We've spent a lot more at similar steakhouses and haven't had nearly the wonderful experience as we had here! Being seated by the manager was a nice touch. Prior to going, the only thing we knew was that it was attached to a Holiday Inn, which made us suspect and we thought we'd be severely disappointed. But since it got a good rating on Yelp we chanced it-- we're so glad we did! The cocktails were delicious and interesting. The wine list superb. We LOVED the salads that arrived "family style"- a Caesar and a mixed-greens salad choice. They came with homemade dressings that I wanted to drink from the bowls! Our steaks were cooked to our liking. I ordered the filet Oscar style and it was delicious! There were many choices of sides from which to choose. We ordered the whipped potatoes, asparagus, and the pepper cream sauce for my wife's filet and they were all yummy! Finally, we were given a free large slice of their "wedding cake" (vanilla cake with a phenomenal almond buttercream frosting) for dessert and devoured it! Don't hesitate going here. We think you'll enjoy it as much as we did!!“

“We recently hosted a bridal shower at Asador Del, and it was wonderful. The staff met our every need and our food was absolutely delicious. If you need to plan an event, I would highly recommend looking at Asador Del.“

“This is tough because our experience at this steakhouse should have been five stars. Our server was great -- energetic, personable, and enthusiastic. He and the other waiters wore red coats, adding to the strong steakhouse vibe. But... then came the shrimp cocktail. They might as well have been shrimp from a dollar store. There were four wet, slightly mushy, unimpressively sized shrimp. This was so sad, because the presentation was great -- a chilled metal vessel, a good amount of delicious cocktail sauce... the whole thing. But the shrimp. I mean, they could have served four super jumbo shrimp, still made a good profit, and made an extremely simple dish a star item. My advice? Go to a few big city steakhouses and see how they do their shrimp cocktails. Okay, now for a few positives: The steak was cooked perfectly and had a good char. Was it the most flavorful steak we've ever had? No. However, it was very solid. The creamed spinach was complex and had great flavor... but it was a somewhat small portion. The potatoes were good, but it was simply a scoop on a room temperature plate. They could do so much better serving it in a hot vessel with a little melted butter -- or garlic butter. Oh, and the bread. -- I think it was yesterday's. I'm sorry to say that, because it was was served warm... but it didn't seem like it was baked that day. There were other little things, like my napkin being taken when two place settings were cleared from our four-top, and also ending up with numerous utensils after our salad course due to what seemed to be just a notch less attention to that particular detail. So, all-in-all it was a solid meal, but it seems like there are other options in STL where you could get a stronger experience for the same money. However, with that said, Kreis' doesn't have to put in much additional effort to bring itself up to a five star level. You can do it, Kreis'!“

“Matt and Jami Hines are the ultimate proprietors of this fine dining restaurant. The food is always fresh and delicious! The atmosphere is very warm and inviting and the staff gives first class service. My husband and I eat there at least once a week and sometimes more! It is 100% quality all around! I give it a 5 star rating!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Roseanna & Gene Gieselmann“

“outstanding! wife and i had special of Shrimp Etouffee and Fried Catfish. not overly spicy, full of flavor, worth the drive and Ted Drews just a few blocks west on Chippewa. ENJOY“

“Yummy food and great service!“

“Consistency in quality, flavor and service is always a given here at Trattoria Toscana. Whether a table of 2 or large parties. Great private room for large celebrations. A small family business that includes YOU in their family every time you walk in the door. Become a regular and they’ll know you by name. Catering from them is top notch options and portions. Highly recommend this South County restaurant for a Taste of Italy!!!“

“So delicious! Every is just sooooo good. Take your time and try a bunch of stuff.“

“Date night was amazing and the service was excellent“

“It is my daughter’s 16th birthday today and we made a reservation at their sister restaurant Bristol’s awhile back. It’s her favorite place to go because of the fried cauliflower. We got a call today and they had a fire so they couldn’t open but graciously made us a reservation at j Gilbert’s. My son got sick so I had to stay home but they called me and said they made her the fried cauliflower that she loves at Bristol’s tonight at j Gilbert’s!! My family said everyone is being so nice and definitely made my daughters night!! Thank you so much for all you did to make her 16th so special!! You guys are amazing!! I can’t thank you enough!!!“

“Great food and very reasonable prices I ate for 2 days so it was well worth it.Very delicious I was curious at first but gave it a try and it’s great. Will be back“

“😎I have never had anything bad from DD.“

“We had our company holiday party here and they did an amazing job. the ambience was PERFECT, food was amazing, drinks were awesome and the staff was delightful. The evening was a huge hit with everyone, I'm certain many of us will be back for a dinner or group event, can't go wrong.“

“This place is a HIDDEN GEM! The staff is wonderful and the atmosphere is fun and welcoming. Their food is excellent and they have the best house dressing! They have great specials, as well. Their walleye and basa fish dinners are signature dishes there and are delicious. Will 100% go again! So yummy! 😋“

“A big "thank you" to Anthony and the staff at Bartolino's Osteria. We had our Christmas party there last week and everything was perfect--great food, very nice private room, and great support from the staff. I can't recommend this place highly enough!“

“😎I have never had anything bad from DD.“

“The food and drinks are always delicious! Josh the bar waiter is always friendly and the atmosphere is so calming!“

“First time here and the service, food, cleanliness, pricing, location were all excellent! Celebrated a grandson's b'day and it was perfect! I love that they give you an option for spiciness (0-5) since I'm a 0 and opted for Orange Chicken. I'll be more adventuresome next time. LOL Great restaurant all the way around!“

“Yummy food and great service!“

“Sam’s is better than ever. This will be are go-to restaurant from now on based on the great food and drink options, outstanding service, talented local entertainers and friendly atmosphere. We prefer the bar area but all seating locations are comfortable and pleasant.“

“This China King is under New Management and when I tell you I went at the beginning of November 2024, ordered Chicken Egg foo yu and Fried gizzards .... DELICIOUS!!! The gravy on the Chicken egg foo yu is so good and their Fried gizzards are the best in St Louis, they practically melt in your mouth and the onions help make the flavor. And the food was fresh, hot and soooo good. This husband and wife team know how to cook, they are respectful and kind, and have not only my respect but will have my business from now on. Thank you!!! Glad to rediscover you here in Crestwood.“

“I highly recommend Koibito Poke STL. The food is fresh and amazing. Great variety to serve all customers.“

“Whole duck was delicious. First time visiting and will be back. Didn't have a chance to try anything else because it was the day of thanksgiving and the kitchen was closed to their other items and all I wanted was a whole duck anyway but will go back to try other items of the menu. Duck EXCELLENT!“

“The food was fresh and delicious. The folks working clearly communicated times and I even heard them worn others of long waits before taking orders. Not much atmosphere to speak of. It’s your old school pickup Chinese restaurant. Pictures are of general tso chicken and orange chicken. It IS NOT heavily breaded like many other places. It felt light and healthIER than other Chinese places. I’d highly recommend!“

“The place was amazing. Great food and wonderful service provided by Tom. It had ambiance, something missing in many places. This had the charm and finesse that is often missed in the new LOUD places. This place was packed but still quiet and the perfect setting for a romantic dinner. Not cheap but well worth the money.“
