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“

“Who ever owns this place or really Rumba Cubana in general as a whole is a genius. How do they make such great food at such low prices but still makes the restaurants upscale in feel while still delivering great service is the holy Trinity of restaurants. Go to any of them.“

“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 🤩)“

“Really enjoyed our dinner there, it was a client dinner with 11 people, we had a choice of soup or salad as well as main course, appys and sides were served family style so we got to try a lot of dishes. Everything was excellent especially the lobster pops, seafood tower as fresh as can be. My wifes filet and lobster tail perfect. I had a strip which is not my favorite cut, nor is a filet but it was delicious. Sides great, especially the truffle mac n cheese. Deserts were great as was service. Will definitely come back“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Very delicious food .. seafood is on point“

“Stellar service! Will definitely be back.“

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

“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.“

“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! 😋“

“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!“

“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...“

“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.“

“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.“

“We love this seafood place and this is the 3rd time we ordered here. Service is top notch and very friendly for a take out restaurant and the seafood is fresh, tasty and consistent. We always order snow crabs, green mussels and shrimps when we crave seafood. Their highest level of spiciness is very spicy fyi. We will continue supporting this local hidden gem restaurant over other chains for their great sea food and friendliness.“

“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 !“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“It was soooo good definitely go back again“

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

“We went to Capital Grille for the first time and had an amazing meal. Our server J was on top of everything and did a wonderful job and took very good care of us as well as many other tables. We tried an array of foods and there was not 1 item that wasnt absolutely delicious. Everything was cooled perfectly. If you have ever questioned if you should try this place here is your sign to stop questioning and go enjoy one of best meals you will ever have! Thank you Capital Grille and staff for such a wonderful date night.“

“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“

“Visiting from out of town. The staff was absolutely fantastic and the food was great 😁“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is a hood Hidden Jen don’t let that looks fool you when pulling up to the corner but I’ve been coming here since 1983, some of the best fried fish around they have porgies whiting and they also do fried chicken Also, love the potato wedge fries, any day of the week it’s a good eat. I love this place and the way to Fish tales.“

“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“

“Excelente atención y rica comida“

“It was amazing my friend chef Adam out did himself as always delicious and decadent all in one!! Proud of you Adam!“

“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.“
