50 Best Seafood Restaurants in St. Louis

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

“Only 4 starts just because I need to try more, but just what I had tonight alone already makes this my top 10 places to try out whether you live here or visiting. I stopped in St Louis for the night on the way back to Texas from Ohio and wanted to check this place out after being out with my dog at the Arches. Pulled up here, I would say for an out of towner parking is a little confusing, but could also most definitely just be me because I thinks I missed a turn. Anyways, there system was down so only had to do cash, wasn't a big deal, is what it is at times. Came back with some cash and got seated outside. As soon as I sat down everyone was super welcoming to me and especially my dog. One server made her a pup cup and was so amazing to see her go that distance. They gave her a water bowl, constant fills, and even helped me out with getting her a dog friendly burger to eat and constant treats. Honestly, super amazing how she was treated by staff, as well as some mini conversations at times. Just stopping by in town on my own for a night, I guess I really did need some social interaction and that helped. My drink was great, I had the Breezy Blooze, just amazing and way better than I expected with some alcoholic kick. For starters I had the alligator tacos, and would say the only shirt coming on that was just that the gator bites themselves were a little cold or at least room temp, but regardless, it still tasted amazing and couldn't stop eating it. I also ordered the Garlic Cream Linguine without the veggies. I didn't want celery and taking that out takes out the rest of the veggies, but honestly it's perfectly ok to me. I added shrimp as well as crawfish for an extra $10, and let me just tell you... I could drink the sauce just by itself. Super incredible, the shrimp was a little small but was still delicious. I rarely have crawfish, not sure why, but it's rare. That also tasted amazing. I honestly wasn't trying to stuff myself with everything but I just couldn't help myself. The outside seating and decor and very welcoming and relaxing with rgb lighting throughout. The stage itself looks pretty cool as well. Whoever was playing tonight on the 23rd sounded amazing as well. Definitely wanting to eat here again whenever the next time I am back here. Thank y'all so much for your hospitality towards my dog as well 🐕“

“10/10 food and service! Such a cozy environment and the staff from the start to finish was all very nice! The food was AMAZING. 🤩“

“Everything we ordered was delicious and perfectly spiced. Service was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back to try some more dishes.“

“My boyfriend and I went on a double date to the aquarium and we’re planning on going somewhere else. We looked across the water and decided last minute to hop in. The inside is very vintage, white tablecloth, but the vibes are very cozy and casual. We were served by the ever so lovely Sierra. AND SHE DESERVES HER FLOWERS AND A RAISE. She suggested this amazing wine called the menage a trois, and so kind and personable. We were conversing after the bill and she left a drop of wisdom. “I treat others how I want to be treated.” We will definitely be back soon. 🤍 Oh and get the crawfish étouffée, and the crab spinach dip! FIRE.“

“Great cocktails, food, and service. Maggie was a great waitress!“

“This place was AMAZING!! The food was so thoughtfully creative and prepared with obvious talent and love. We enjoyed meeting owner brothers and hearing their story of bringing their Yucatan culture and roots to the St. Louis food scene. Everything we tried was beyond delicious. This is a must-try for authentic Mexican food inspired by the Yucatan region.“

“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.“

“Beautiful, fun, and hip atmosphere. My cocktail looked great, though the listed flavors didn’t quite come through. The crab pasta was creamy and filling, but tasted more like mac and cheese than a cohesive dish. I’d still come back to try something else!“

“After visiting the Fox Theater on Saturday we had reservations for 6. Our table was ready and our server Wendy was absolutely delightful. Our drinks, appetizers, dinner(fresh pasta) and desserts did not disappoint. The manager stopped by twice to check on us. Incredible! We wanted to bring Wendy home with us but we had to have her back by Wednesday! We can’t wait to return!!!! 10🌟“

“Top-notch service! They were able to accommodate us on a busy Saturday night, and the food was prepared perfectly. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great Italian spot in South County.“

“You will not be disappointed with this restaurant selection. From the service to the incredible food, my wife and I were impressed. The talent of the TJ Mueller band was outstanding. We travel all over the world and this is now one of our favorite locations!!!!“

“Absolutely fantastic!! Highly recommend!“

“Most expensive dinner I have ever splurged for but it was WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! It really felt special. All of it. We really loved our server too , Martin (Marteen). Just wish we had not waited so long to go!“

“Yummy food and great service!“

“The food and the entire experience were amazing! The evening was to celebrate my milestone birthday and it did not disappoint! The bourbon list was extensive with so many great choices to choose from! And I sampled several! For dinner I had the fillet, crab and crawfish chowder, and a loaded baked potato…delicious! The bread pudding was also divine. I will definitely be returning! 🤤 🖤“

“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.“

“Everything I ate was delicious I can't wait to go back all soups are good especially eguzi soup and goat soup, chicken was seasoned so good & the drink I had was fyre. I love the look and presentation of the restaurant and food & the music was just right“

“The service here was exceptional and the food was phenomenal. Not only was every piece we received so delicious from the bread to the actual dishes, but the service was 10/10 and we had so much support from the staff to make our experience memorable. The workers would even apologize when reaching over you to fill your water, like hello I should be the one apologizing for being in the way! Every single bite was heavenly and the portions are big so I was able to enjoy leftovers later too. It’s definitely on the pricier side because it’s a fancy restaurant but nothing that I believe isn’t worth it. I will 100% come back when I can! It’s also connected to a hotel so if you are ever visiting Saint Louis and want to experience the Italian relevance of the Hill, this is totally a great option.“

“I don't typically write food reviews and if I do it's either you're horrible or you're amazing. I stop by today because I was craving buffalo fish. My mom used to make it all the time and she passed away last year in May. Their debit machine was down and I only had $10 in cash and I told them I'll be right back. Thank goodness my brother stays around the corner and I was able to come back. The customer service was amazing and the fish was delicious. I was able to stop at my grandmother's house who is almost 90 years old and share some with her. Needless to say she love the fish too and I'll be back next weekend to buy her a plate! ♥“

“Best Birthday Atmosphere 🎂“

“Kreis' is old school, and that's not a bad thing. So many establishments like these are falling out of favor, but they're so necessary. Propriety. Decorum. They have a place and you'll find them here. Impeccable service. Impeccable dining. And they were spot on about the prime rib. This is the best I've had since Vegas in 1996. Kreis' prime rib is my new #1. We'll be back the next time we're in town.“

“ate there while helping with power company I live 4 hrs away I will defiantly make a trip just for the food“

“The waiter was excellent! The food was amazing. The entire staff did a awesome job with greeting and service! I will definitely be back🎉🥰“

“Always good food and service“

“Stopped at this hotel on a work trip, food at Eero's was amazing. I'm home now looking up locations. 😔 Service was ok but food was just what I wanted and delicious. 😋 There was live entertainment the night I was there (midweek).“

“When I come home to St. Louis I always try to find the best tripe sandwich and I've found it at AAA Fish House.“

“Best Vietnamese food ever. Good price and great food. 10/10 highly recommend“

“Let me just preface this by saying I moved here from South Texas and have spent more than my fair share of time in Old Mexico. In years of searching for REAL Mexican food in St Louis, I’ve had many disappointments. This place was absolutely fantastic and pure pleasure for an old Texan. It even made me shhh my wife because I wasn’t willing to remove my focus from the delicacy I was partaking in. Can’t recommend this place enough and haven’t been able to stop telling others about it. I’ll be a permanent fixture there for sure.“

“I had the BEST breakfast sandwich burger at Wakey Wakey last week while I was staying at the attached hotel for a women's conference. It was huge & I had to cut it in half & save the rest. Our server Sam was the one who made the suggestion to try it & he was right in his suggestion! He even told me how to reheat it so that it would come out even better than the first time it was served. Our drinks were never less than half full & he was very attentive. You can really tell he takes pride in his work! I also want to note that the breakfast potatoes are AMAZING & I will definitely be going back to get them again! They are something that I have never had at any other breakfast place. My mouth is watering now just typing this. Thank you again for the great suggestions Sam & keep up the great work! I will be back soon! 5 stars!“

“The food is DELICIOUS and seasoned well.I love to call my order in and it's always ready when you walk in❤️👌“

“10/10 food and service! Such a cozy environment and the staff from the start to finish was all very nice! The food was AMAZING. 🤩“

“Really enjoyed our lunch here! The restaurant is beautiful, very clean, and the staff were super friendly and attentive.

We ordered the Shanghai Bamboo Soup, braised duck, Pork Shank, steamed pork in lotus leaf, and beef with Hangzhou peppers. Everything was delicious!

The Shanghai Bamboo Soup was rich and comforting, and the house-cured pork gave the broth so much flavor. The beef with Hangzhou peppers was incredibly tender and probably one of my favorite dishes. The Pork Shank was huge, fall-apart tender, and packed with flavor. Definitely recommend ordering it if you're sharing with a group.

The portions were generous and everything tasted fresh and authentic. We had a great experience and will definitely be back to try more dishes!“

“All I can say is the food is bomb 💣 and she’s super fast and nice!“

“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!“

“Shout out to Ahmad and the whole team at Hook Fish & Chicken (Penn Hills) for the delicious and generous portions of fish, wings and fries for our family reunion Meet & Greet Reception!! They helped me ensure we had enough food for everyone, the order was hot, ready on time, accurate and the relatives are still talking about how good it was. Paired with the rest of our menu, this made for a hearty meal for all ages. Thank you so much for helping make our family gathering a success.“

“the food was great, the service was great too! Maya was our waitress. when we left I forgot my purse, and I didn't realize it until the next day! went back and they had it set back for me, completely intact! great business!!“

“Good food, good customer service“

“10/10, will be returning soon! Food was amazing, service was great. Make sure you bring a marker to sign the walls! I didn’t know this was a thing until we went inside!“

“Ok im not from St Louis but I really wanted to try rethink place because Mr Chimetime reviewed it and said it was good and guess what it was. The fried rice was a 10 outta 10 the St Paul needed more seasoning. The place looks a little sketchy but it was worth it. A lot of people were ordering the duck im try that next time.“

“Recently ate there, really by accident, we had tickets for an early performance at the Fox theater, but had no reservations. Had waited at another restaurant which was clear we would not have time to eat, and catch the performance. So we went across the street to try Gary’s. The 5 of us got right in, our waiter was fantastic, he was so talented, and great with my granddaughters. Ate a wonderful meal, everyone liked their selection. We did not have time for dessert so the waiter brought us each of us over a piece of chocolate cake with our meals.😊 we will be going back to Gary’s, because of the service and food. Please give it a try if you are in the area you won’t be disappointed.“

“Pasta super Good. ALL THE FOOD WAS HOT AND FRESH, CHEF D is a very nice guy ,The establishment is nice and clean ,if you are looking for quick take out ,nope pasta and seafood takes time and I assume its cook to order. This restaurant has my continued SUPPORT“

“Love, love, love them! I haven't been into the restaurant yet but I'm a certified "regular" on Postmates 😅 As a former sushi chef, I truly appreciate the consistent quality and presentation. It can sometimes be hard to find sushi that's made the way it deserves but they certainly do it here 🍣 ❤️ The only thing that would make it better is if they had boba tea🧋 but I can't complain! 😌“

“The Easter Brunch was great!“

“I’m glad you’re back. I love mother’s fish. I remember eating every Friday“

“Great fresh innovative food, wonderful friendly service. 95 out of 100. 5 points off because my food should have been hotter.“

“We had the best meal tonight at Fork & Stix. The flavors and presentation of the dishes were excellent and the atmosphere is relaxing and warm. Would highly recommend this restaurant for a wonderful dining experience.“

“This review is for the bakery ONLY. Everytime we go to St. Louis, we stop here (We live at the Lake of the Ozarks). The mini custard pies are amazing, try the fried, sesame seed balls which are filled with two different kinds of bean custard, both are delicious.
The yeast buns are stuffed with a variety of sweets and cheeses and are killer. On the right side of the shop as you enter, there are usually a few versions of the Dim Sum they serve next door in the restaurant and they are all DELICIOUS!

I've purchased the Duck & the deep fried pork hanging in the window, several times & it's been legit. We buy half a duck because there's only 3 of us, but plenty. I always order a small order of their rice so we can eat our duck at the hotel.
It can be VERY crowded on the weekends, so come as soon as they open. There's usually only the one lady working the register and dude chopping up the duck & pork, but they're fast. A++++ It's not cheap but it's soooo worth it.“

“I’ll give it 5 stars cause the food fyre. But the black girl that sit at the register send the phone to voicemail and don’t answer when there is other people in there ordering. Some people come from 20+ minutes away and don’t feel like ordering a waiting. Do better with customer service. The attitude is horrible. Try speaking when others enter into your workplace you chose to work at. I can’t stand rude people with attitudes and it’s always our kind. Do better“

“Date night was amazing and the service was excellent“
