50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Normandy Beach

“Amazing! Came here on a whim during vacation and came back two nights later. Great service and food! Accommodated our family of 5 with a stroller both times. Wonderful addition to the area. Had the Crab Renee both nights, excellent! Will definitely be back.“

“I absolutely love Bonefish Grill I never knew about it before but now that I do, it has changed my life!! The prices are amazing, the staff is phenomenal and I come back on a weekly basis to try all the specials and deals. PLUS the rewards plan is great. I get $5 to $20 off most of my meals. #BoneFist is the best!! Karen and Kara and the rest of the team really making it a great place to eat and spend some time with the family!
Oh great kids menu as well!!“

“I had my birthday dinner of 12 last night and it was truly unforgettable! The private room we were placed in was lovely! Chef Chris put out apps and main courses that were as visually stunning as they were delicious! The wait staff was so kind, patient and meticulous! Kiersten was our main server and served our table of 12 seamlessly with the help of many other amazing servers and bussers. I absolutely can’t wait to visit again!“

“Maddie’s mom Gail was the best. She recommended 4 specials. We got all 4 and they were all delicious. Every item we ordered was so flavorful and delicious. Will definitely have to make a trip here again.

Parking: Plenty of parking in side street and across the store“

“We had the boiling point ordered for Sunday for a birthday party. It was ready and when we cooked it we had an amazing dinner. The crab legs and shrimp and clams were spectacular. This is the place to go for great sea food. Awesome job 5 stars.“

“Family business at its core. My wife and I found a gift certificate, not 9 days, not 9 months...but 9 years expired. When we arrived we had mentioned to the staff the circumstances and without hesitation management honored our gift certificate. Not expected but very much appreciated. Great people and great meal. We'll be back this summer!“

“The most fresh, fabulous seafood you will ever eat (Lobster Bowl was off the hook!). The owners and staff were accommodating, very friendly and just down to earth nice/real people. Highly recommended, I will be back in the very near future. You hooked us PA folks!(no pun intended) Thank you!“

“Love Ortley Fish Market,there at least once each weekend. Yesterday however the store was crowded, our wait was at least 20 minutes. I discovered that many folks were just for pickup. I suggested to a couple of gentlemen to form a “pickup line” near the register.why don’t you do just that.A simple sign, PICK UP HERE would ease the crowding and welcome the pick up customers. Your business is a cash one. As a former self employed person, one cannot afford to drive away customers as I saw yesterday“

“never leave without eating here 1st“

“First time getting to a Mystic location and we hit the new spot in Seaside Park. Absolutely delicious!! The chicken tenders were a hit with my son and I had an amazing cheesesteak. Sooo much more on the menu than you think. This place will be a summer hit!!“

“I had the stuffed flounder! It was sooo good! The rice that comes with was not the best, but, the broccoli was light and well seasoned. I also had a drink: watermelon Acqua Fresca that was a 8 out of 10, but very well served. For dessert the coconut pie was not good for my taste. I would try the key lime pie next time.“

“Took my husband to Prime 13 for his birthday. Ribeye steaks were the best steaks we ever had! Well-marbled, charred beautifully, and medium-well done was exactly as described- slightly pink. House salad was very tasty too. We’ll be back!“

“We (a party of 4) had dinner last Thursday (3-7-24). We decide to select our dinner choices from the fixed-price menu being offered that evening. EVERYTHING was wonderful. In reading the other reviews, they truly reflect our own dining experience. This is going to sound a little weird, but I have found this to be true. If the restaurant proprietor (as in this case) provides a restroom facility that goes beyond just clean and tidy, I believe the same attention to detail carries over to every aspect of the restaurant, from food preparation to presentation. Truth be told, I used the facility early in the evening. I can’t speak to what it may look like at the end of a busy summer Saturday service, but its condition would reflect more on the customer comportment. Final note, I’m about an hour away, but it is well worth the drive. GREAT RESTAURANT!“

“The food, Service, and atmosphere were all excellent. The fresh brewed tea is spot on. The Firecracker sauce is Devine and you can't go wrong with the wedge salad. Not a bad thing I can say from my experience.“

“Great food! Great drinks. Super service“

“We made a last min decision to come to Point Pleasant for Thu and Fri just after school started (no kids here). Found this place and walked 35 min to it from our Motel...TOTALLY WORTH IT! It's currently BYOB that doesn't hurt. Waiter was more than accommodating for the bottle of wine we brought. Cups and ice immediately. The menu has alot of options. We got a cup (enormous BTW) of lobster bisque. It has a ton of lobster on top AND an ton more in the soup. So damn good. The hush puppies were great too but we saved room for more. Got the crab cake sandwich which was really good too but the Diablo lobster roll was insane! I tried not to eat the bread but every part of the sandwich had large chunks of Lobster. I had to finish that whole thing! Service was excellent also. Forgot his name but the bill said Kevin. He was personable, understanding, funny, all the things a great server should be without any of the post covid attitude or harshness. Almost wish this place was closer to come more often. I highly recommend but, understand they are small so expect a wait or maybe make reservations if they take them.

Parking: Seems like plenty of parking so I don't think that's an issue.“

“Great place for Seafood! Will definitely recommend to everyone!“

“This hidden gem never disappoints. it is the only restaurant where everyone consistently likes what they ordered. The Seafood Mediterranean is the best I've ever had anywhere and that's due to their sauce. Son always gets seafood paella, husband seafood broccoli rabe. Good service and they also do take out. This place is a must try.“

“Our friend highly recommended Spanos Restutant , our first time, Was absolutely outstanding, The nicest customer service was the owner introduced himself to us with three special appetizers he made and greeted us with a Bon appétit Everything is made special to order,go go go and order there homemade bread pudding with chocolate in middle & there vanilla ice cream Thank you Mr Spano , for a special evening ??“

“Fantastic food and service! Can’t wait to come back, great, friendly atmosphere.“

“Wow The best Italian restaurant at the jersey shore if you go Friday or Saturday you better get a reservation I would suggest you get one during the week also to be safe. Byob food and atmosphere are outstanding and the hostess waitresses and owner are so nice they make you feel like you were invited to their home for Sunday dinner with the family.“

“Excellent food and friendly customer services every time!!“

“Always one of our favorite places to go with the family on a Friday night. The kids enjoy pressing their own French fries & the staff is great. Owner is usually there and interacting with guests - great family place & excellent food.“

“The food and service was amazing!! Went there for Valentine’s Day and had a great experience! Definitely will be back!“

“I mentioned this at checkout today, however, I used to come here almost every Sunday with my Grandmother after church. Walking in there today hit me right in the feels. Nothing appeared to have changed. The waitresses were all friendly, the food was out of this world, and it wasn't too pricey.

My kids both got pancakes and thought they were great. They make a Mickey mouse shaped one and it was adorable that they made eyes out of fruit.

I hope this place never changes. They have a great thing going and I wish there were more like them where I lived.“

“Our guests had as much fun as we did at our wedding. Sam, Anne and the B2 staff were excellent. Everybody is still raving about how they didn't feel like they were at a wedding and the food was excellent.“

“I just wanted to commend our server, Sam, our waitress/server. I, as an owner of a restaurant, could not help but notice that she did everything right. She started with coming over to our table to tell us that she would be with us shortly (she was swamped with other tables). Just a simple thing like saying hello and introducing yourself goes a long way. (I hate when you are just ignored.) Even as busy as she was, she still was very personable and engaged in conversation with our table of 9. She was timely, accurate, + personable. If I had to grade her, she gets an 11 out of 10! Great job Sam!“

“My favorite restaurant in this area. Food is great as well as pricing, service and atmosphere. If you haven’t been there yet, give it a try. You will not be disappointed!“

“We celebrated my sister's bachelorette dinner here and it was fantastic! Tracey took care of us for the evening and was so friendly and fun! The food was delicious and the portions were huge! The only issue we had was not knowing that it was BYOB. It didn't stop us from taking an Uber to grab some wine while apps and dinner were ordered. It all came together and we had a fantastic time! Thank you Tracey for making it a memorable evening!“

“The food is fresh and good. Thanks“

“Excellent crab cake. Friendly staff“

“Consistent excellent prepared & quality food . Kitchen chef are fantastic! Went last nite & they had a pvt party 40 people. Chef , service & kitchen rocked ! No issue ! Best high end restaurant from LBI - Asbury !!!!“

“Amazing seafood crab legs are awesome We will definitely be back“

“Pleasant place in Point Pleasant, located on Arnold Avenue and Route 35 South. Much space: 3 bars and 2 dining areas, with metal chairs and obligatory Shore decor. Lobster roll is highly regarded, and it definitely met expectations. Greeting was friendly and service very competent. Only ding is the pricing, which is above the median, but not too concerning as all else is in order. Recommended.“

“The food was delicious and our server was excellent. We will be going back. Plus a byob is always nice.“

“Had a great meal with great service and price.“

“Love the decor, all the staff is pleasant and courteous!! Maria the server GREAT and a very nice Front end coordinatorDarlene so efficient!!“

“Excellent dining the people are fantastic“

“Went last Friday for casual date night with hubs. Loved being outside and the bar had a great, low key, laid back vibe. Buzzy but not too crowded. New sushi menu is delish. Everything was super fresh and tasty. Will definitely be back soon for cocktails and sushi!“

“Always friendly staff. Bartenders are always so nice. Love the happy hour specials.“

“Ordered takeout tonight for my family… everything was delicious!! The Dock Burger was perfection & so was the buttermilk chicken sandwich! Kids had the chicken tenders… they were HUGE & freshly made (not frozen). Highly recommend for a wonderful family dinner down the shore!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Table of 4 with no duplicates on apps or entrees so that’s a lot of ingredients. Every one of those ingredients were prepared to perfection! A thick cut pork chop you could cut with a fork, mussels that I’ve never had that tender, the best Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had and the list goes on. Every person there raved about their meal. All the best, you’re definitely raising the bar in the area. Oh and our server was super friendly.“

“My wife and I were in on Tuesday for lunch. Food was amazing as usual. Server however, typical Gen-Z.

Lazy, got my drink order wrong, un-attentive. She was more interested in sitting at the bar as opposed to waiting on her customers.“

“Delicious meal. Lovely ambiance. Great service.“

“Try the seafood chowder!! It’s the best secret on the shore.“

“Had a great time at Windward Tavern. Food and drinks were great. Service was excellent.“

“Bartender was amazing. Food was good and drinks were even better.“
