50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Clifton

“this place never disappoints. good service, good food. good event. I almost go at least 2xs a month. became one of my FAVORITE PLACES“

“The workers/owners are so nice and the food is INCREDIBLE for the price. Seafood boil in this day and age is so expensive and here I can get 1/b crab legs, a potato, an egg, and cajun fries for close to $25. The hibachi menu is also DELICIOUS. I have ordered for pickup here with my mother twice and both times service was fast and the food was delicious.“

“Matthew 's Restaurant is 1 of the best restaurants in North NJ if NOT The Best. The food is always Delicious & Service is excellent. Beyond that, the atmosphere or aviance is excellent. The vibe & energy is first rate positive fun & culinary enjoyment. I believe that this fine dining experience is also driven by the owner Matthew who is usually in the restaurant greeting guests & helping out. When you visit Matthew's you'll have a great time and it'll feel like you're on mini-vacation from the stress of every day life while seemingly enjoying the warmth of family. It may be a cliche but it's definitely true. 10 stars ⭐ out of 10.“

“Super nice. We have fun! Good food“

“I had an excellent experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very pleasant, and Miguel’s service was outstanding. He was super attentive, kind, and professional at all times, and he made us feel very well taken care of from the moment we arrived. It’s a pleasure to meet people like him. I will definitely come back!“

“This place is awesome! My brothers and I took my father there last night for my his birthday and it was an awesome time. Our waitress Nicole was amazing and a trooper! 😆 Will definitely be back. 5 stars!“

“We have nothing bad to say about this location for Chinese food. We do have other locations that we typically go to, but being Sunday, they were closed. And having been here a few previous times we found their Chinese food to be very good.Upon our recent visit we found that their Chinese food has maintained its quality and taste. They have even prepared two windows for minimal contact pickup. One is at the entrance and one is by the counter. This will ensure this location will be open for business if we are close to shutting down again.Our service here again today was excellent. We ordered in the store and waited at our table for the food to be ready. However there is no eating in at this location The only tables are for sitting and waiting for your food.“

“Great time with my family for lunch, great food and great atmosphere but our waitress Abby gets the 5 Stars for service (Awesome Abby 🤩)“

“We had a wonderful birthday dinner. They had some cute birthday confetti on the table and a birthday card which was a nice touch. The dumplings, beet salad, scallops, brussel sprouts,and stuffed shrimp were all delicious! The drinks were great. Dessert selection was nice - the lemon tart was fantastic. Loved listening to the live jazz band which raised the bar for the atmosphere. Will definitely return. High class restaurant with high class service!“

“the services is wonderful, the food very delicious, I felt like in Egypt. I love it soooo much“

“apps were good, service was even better. live atmosphere on a Friday evening to boot.“

“the food are delicious and the waitress is great !“

“Seafood pimps was the best decision I could had made to celebrate my 56th birthday. I decided to purchase the Nexf ix & Chill. First the presentation was SUPERB. The crabs, mussels and shrimp were FRESH and DELECTABLE. The vegetables were seasoned to perfection. least of them all the amount that you receive is enough to feed a full size family, and we only ordered for two. I will definitely be back. I recommend Seafood Pimps to anyone that enjoy fresh mouth watering seafood.“

“A fantastic seafood restaurant. Definitely will be returning.“

“Very nice - I’m coming back for sure“

“THE BEST“

“Yummy Spicy Shrimp Pasta. I love it every time I come here :)“

“Stellar service! Will definitely be back.“

“The trout is the best in the area. The servers can be unprofessional and rude. When asked to tie back their hair, the request was refused. A nonsense response of not required was insulting. As an experienced service trainer, the hair in question should have been restraining. Health department requirements override a servers vain attitude.“

“Very delicious food .. seafood is on point“

“Delicious food and amazing service. Can’t beat the lunch special. Excellent!“

“Great food, all tasted fresh and didn't disappoint..we ordered the dinner for 2 that included 4 choices of cold starters and calamari that melts in your mouth and the salad was so good and the mix kebab and koftas over rice was good too..will definitely recommend and we shall be back! 😋“

“The vibes are always on point, everyone is super nice. You are guaranteed to have an AMAZING bowl of pho anytime of the day, whether you dine in or take out. Do yourself a favor and come here because the food is incredible and it comes super QUICK along with plenty of seating - thank me later.“

“Where can one find fish fresher than at this restaurant that is a fish market during the day? In my opinion, nowhere in this area does the seafood in this area compare.\n\nThis is our third time here in four weeks, and they haven’t disappointed us. Incredible service with an extensive menu at fair prices, this place is a must to try.\n\nKenny, not sure if he’s the manager, apologized for running out of steamers. He assured us that if I call in advance to reserve, he will hold an order for me.\n\nWe shall return!!“

“🌟 A Hidden Gem That Hits Every Note of Excellence 🌟 From the instant we walked in, we weren’t just welcomed—we were embraced. David, the manager, leads with heart and precision. His cheesecake? Honestly, a revelation. Ruben brought effortless charm and made us feel like VIPs all evening, while Maria’s radiant warmth made the entire experience feel like a celebration. 🍽️ The food was flawless from start to finish. We opened with crab cakes—crispy, golden, and packed with flavor—and grilled octopus so tender it practically melted. My salmon had the perfect crisp and was paired with velvety mashed potatoes. My sister’s seafood platter was generous and bold in flavor, and my niece’s shrimp scampi? Let’s just say I couldn’t keep my fork off her plate. 🎶 The ambiance wrapped it all together—inviting, vibrant, and relaxed. We lingered, laughed, and truly felt at home. 💖 To David, Ruben & Maria: You didn’t just serve us—you made us feel seen. This is what hospitality should look like. 🔥 This was my first visit, and it set the bar HIGH. A local treasure we’ll support again and again. HIGHLY recommended—bring the family, bring your appetite, and bring your heart. ❤️“

“The New England Clam Chowder with crab added to it was TO DIE FOR….. Got a container at The Herald Square Market to eat when i got home and I was in Heaven with every bite! Fresh and creamy, awesome taste and the crab meat added just intensified the experience! I’m visiting New York from TN and it was one of my best meals so far! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Lunch service was nice. However my brother ordered a Paella and there was hardly any rice in it. Given the fact the waiter insisted it would feed 3 I'm glad he ordered his solo cause it was barely enough for him. I ordered a chicken breast and chorizo lunch special. It was good. Aside from the spicy flavors it was great. The service was fantastic. It's no wonder they've been around for a long time. My brother recommended this place since he's been coming here a long time. I'm definitely opened to give it another try.“

“First time entering this location actually, the waitress Lakaiya I believe that was her name was very nice and helpful, food and service was great, and of course, my favorite appetizers are the "Cheddar Bay Biscuits" now, as for the ambience and overall environment of the restaurant, it has a low key vibe and very inviting, has a warm feel to it, the waiters and waitresses try their best to provide their services for their customers, as well as the chefs that cook and prepare their food, I do recommend this location though, I also like the music selection on the radio's overhead, nicely done...“

“Very nice atomosphere. Everybody friendly Food was quick and drinks where amazing“

“The food was magnificent! The owner engaged in conversation with us. The striped bass was out of this world! I will definitely come back.“

“This is such a lovely place with a warm, friendly ambience. I brought my son here on Christmas Eve, and we had a lovely time. The chocolate martinis are amazing and the wine list is very good. We started with perfectly chilled and delicious oysters and then enjoyed aranciata with crab and a lovely lobster pasta dish. The vibe is inviting for families with young children as well and there is also a nice bar for adults only. This is a great place that I will return to soon !“

“Musubi for days! So good So fresh! Ill be back“

“Awesome food and service!“

“Best seafood I’ve had in a very long time. The scallops with pork belly is phenomenal! Even the 1 steak they offer was outstanding. Perfectly cooked at medium rare !! Great service and perfectly made Negroni’s !“

“todo pero me fascina el pargo frito con tostones y ensalada“

“On Saturday May 28th I had a reservation for 15 people because it was my daughter sweet sixteenth birthday dinner. The atmosphere was great, the music was a little too LOUD especially for some young children in my party and we the adults and young people we couldn’t hear each other speaking and my suggestion is to have the music at a moderate tone so we can hear each other at the table and also to make sure the waitress/waiter get the food order correct . The food was a little too salty but everything was ok“

“We had a wonderful time at Sapori! The food is incredible and service was fantastic! We had the mussels and rock shrimp to start and they were delicious! Had the halibut, lobster pasta, steak pasta and seafood risotto and everything was amazing! Will definitely be back.“

“Stumbled on this absolutely amazing little gem of a place. Wildly generous portions. Had the boil with snow crab, shrimps, corn and sausage. Perfect spice level. Tastiest boil I’ve ever had. Do yourself a favor and skip hook and reel and order take out here. Will come back without a doubt.“

“This was my second visit in 7 days. The wagu & wine special was fabulous as always. But the service was awful this time. The waiter was very nice initially but we only saw him twice. I had to keep stopping people to fill our water. Our waiter never checked on us and the burgers took forever. The coffee took forever and arrived cold. I believe it was the manager who re-made my cappuccino. We were celebrating my friend's birthday and they did give us dessert for that. But what a difference from last week when we had stellar service from Dominick!“

“el mejor restaurate lindo ambiente buen trato y lo mas importante una buena sazon les recomiendo si quieren comer rico venga aqui“

“I ordered from here looking for some jerk pork and festival and I could not be more satisfied! The pork was juicy, spicy, and grilled as all jerk pork should be. The festival were hot and freshly made. This was an 11/10 because it was all fresh and hot. Likklle Helshire Restaurant, 👏🏿👏🏿. Please, please add small and large portions of the jerk pork and jerk chicken to the Uber Eats menu so I can order just the meat and my festival. Thank you!“

“Happened to see this place while waiting for the bus and noticed the freshness of the seafood.
Upon entering it’s a cosy spot, not to big but enough to sit a few groups,
Ordering is simple at the counter and food came out in a timely manner. the seafood are cooked fresh and the ceviche was tasty. Definitely worth trying if in the area“

“Had the pleasure of eating at Giorgio"s last night before a show at SPAC. Service was outstanding, menu explained and food was excellent. From our salad, entree and desert everything was outstanding. I highly recommend it but please not before a show I may now get a reservation again.“

“Drove from Orange County,New York. FRESH fish and seafood at very reasonable prices. Will even cook you a fish fry. Bought mussels, clams, live crabs, calamari, and salmon. Only issue was the salmon was not deboned at all, but I'm still rating 5 stars!“

“This spot has rightly captured the attention of food lovers. We ordered lots of food for everybody to share. Restaurant team members transform this place to five-star status. You'll enjoy impressive meals in this compact setting. My time here was truly satisfying.“

“Came for my birthday -first time there-everything was awesome -stuffed zucchini flowers, caprese salad . soft plolenta w/short rib ragu and pistascio gelato-soooo good, can't wait to return.“

“F1rst Restaurant never disappoints! If you’re a foodie and haven’t yet discovered F1rst, you owe it to yourself to experience this gem! Highly recommended!“

“They have the best social hour!! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is great!!!“

“I've been getting fresh fried fish here for years. The wide variety of combos is great. You can phone ahead and your food will be ready even when there's a crowd. Their price are unbeatable! The staff are always pleasant and welcoming.❤️??“

“I haven’t had fried flounder this good in a long time. I had it with the ceviche on top, …. Insane !!! The Colombian gentleman was extremely welcoming & professional. I enjoyed my lunch today. It was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Wanted to take the time to give them a shout out. This location.“
