50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Oakland

“Huge portions of great food! Salads w/spectacular dressing lead to enormous, expertly-prepared steak, chicken and seafood entrees!“

“From the moment we walked in, the host greeted us like old friends and walked us right to our table — I instantly had a good feeling, and I was right. Our server was awesome — super friendly, knew the menu inside out, and was on top of everything all night.

The menu is classic Italian but with a twist — way more interesting than your standard North Jersey Italian spot. The ossobuco was fantastic (if I had to nitpick, I’d say the risotto could’ve used a touch less water and a heavier hand with the parm). The clams were fresh and baked to perfection, and my son devoured his ravioli. For dessert, the bread pudding was absolutely unreal — honestly worth the trip alone.

Safe to say we’ll be regulars!“

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

“First time there today and everything was excellent!!! Will be back soon“

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

“Been a while since we went to Axton’s, but my wife and I will be celebrating 30 years this week, we thought we’d start with a fine dinner WTH Chef Anton. Early on a Sunday during the summer was far from their busy time, so we had a chance to chat. For starters, we shared an apple mango salad. Shame on me for not reading the menu. The dressing is apple mango. Home made! I was looking for mango in the salad. Apple, craisins, two kinds of cheese…. Perfect for a hot July day. My wife ordered the shrimp marinara over spinach instead of pasta. Delicious and even more impressive was that the shrimp had their tails removed. A great touch. The piece de resistance was my scallop special. Scallops topped with Crabcake coating topped with bacon. Served over a bed of spinach with cherry tomatoes and more. My wife called it spectacular. I thought it was a taste of heaven. Couldn’t figure out one taste in the sauce. Originally thought mango, but there was none in the salad. Had to ask if it was peach? Mango was the winner. The dish was a bigger winner!“

“I was excited to get warm with soup after Pompton Lakes’ Holiday Stroll. I got the Hot Lemongrass Beef Pho. This is hands down the best pho I’ve had since leaving California. Boiling Pho is legit!! The noodles were chewy and not soggy. The beef brisket was so tender. The sliced beef was fresh. The broth was immaculate on a cold night and super flavorful. Nothing beats a good bowl of pho. I can’t wait to include this place in my weeknight dinner rotation! Thank you for the great food, atmosphere, and service!!“

“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! 😋“

“I Sent my friend a Johnny's pizza for his 70th birthday last week. Unbeknownst to me, my friend was in the hospital during that time. I called Johnny's and advised them of this and they very graciously Sent a free pizza, celebrating my friends healthy return home. My old friend just finished the pizza, and shared it was delicious. Not only are Johnny's Pizzas Large, their kind Hearts are even Bigger! Bravo and God Bless, Mike C from North Carolina“

“Excelente atención y rica comida“

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

“I recently ordered from The Den, it’s a charming new BYOB spot that has quickly become a favorite. The service was impeccable from start to finish; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. As for the food, every dish was a masterpiece—beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. From the perfectly seasoned appetizers to the mouthwatering entrees, each bite was a delight. The freshness of the ingredients and the chef's skillful preparation were evident in every course. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a delicious meal in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.“

“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!“

“After months of hearing Chengdu 23 advertised on 105.5 WDHA, my wife and I decided to try it this evening. we were not disappointed! From the minute we walked in the door, our experience was 100% positive. The service was fast, courteous, and intuitive. The food was sublime. This is not your run of the mill Chinese food restaurant. I rate it seven out of five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (I never claimed to be a math whiz!)“

“Food was ok. Seafood boil was not that great. Corn was mushy, shrimp was , potatoes were a little hard, eggs were missing most of the white because I guess they couldn't peel it and one egg was not hard boiled . Whiting fish sandwich was not that good. My daughter liked the lobster roll though. Very hot in the restaurant, with flies.“

“Great food, friendly service and comfortable ambiance. We highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Krios is one of our go-to spots for dinner in Bloomingdale. The food is always delicious and beautifully presented, and the atmosphere feels warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening out. While I’d love to see a few more traditional Greek dishes on the menu given the name, everything we’ve tried has been excellent. The Brussels sprouts and sesame feta are absolute must-haves. Pass on the lemon potatoes, though.“

“5 stars all day! I drove 2 hours just to try their famous family recipe sauce, and it did *not* disappoint. The warm, family atmosphere and authentic recipes make Jay's Fish Gate a must-try!“

“You cannot go wrong by dinning at Naxos. We will be back tomorrow night with my Grandchildren. Ask for Rebecca as your server she is wonderful“

“I get food delivered from here every time I’m in town!! Their red snapper is absolutely delicious. It’s a nice size and tastes amazing with the mixed vegetables and rice. I have also tried the salmon (steamed) and it wasn’t as good as the red snapper.“

“Went for a birthday dinner. Wasn't happy about being sat in front of the door every time someone walked in we would get a gust of cold air and it just wasn't comfortable everyone looking at you that walked in the door. Otherwise the meats were delicious and the salad bar was good. Definitely would go back again.“

“Finally able to try Kervan last night and we loved it! We will absolutely be back! The food is fabulous, the place is lovely and the staff was so warm and friendly. Highly recommend.“

“I love a speakeasy with a password & a BYOB. The decor was rich in colors and textures. There was something beautiful to look at on every wall! The menu was wonderful! There were so many good options, but we couldn't eat everything! We will have to come back and finish the menu. Our waiter was wonderful. We will be back!!!!“

“Overall we had a great experience at SearHouse Grill. The service was very attentive and the menu had a wide range of steak and non-steak options and there was also an extensive specials list. My filet mignon was cooked exactly the way I wanted it and was very tender as was the steak for everyone who ordered it at my table. The fish options were also prepared very well. The only negative was that the restaurant was very loud, but perhaps that was due to being there on a Saturday night.“

“Ate here for the first time with my sisters, and we had a fantastic experience. Our server, cherrylynn, gave us a run down of the menu and was very attentive. We had the jerked chicken wings and yuca fries and were in love. Would be dining here again“

“We had our daughter’s bridal shower here this past weekend…cannot say enough good things about the food service and total atmosphere..all of our guests loved the food the staff was fantastic and so very accommodating. They worked with us regarding the room set up and the several changes we needed to make. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I love Ferati’s - The food is delicious, service is great, they are very accommodating shud I request a little change in Preparation.“

“The decor at this morsel of Costa Rican culture is aesthetically pleasing and if you’re in the area, this is one of the better Tico spots. We watched Costa Rica beat Paraguay in a Copa America game while eating pupusas, un Casado and Tacos Ticos and totally hit the spot. Especially since they served some salsa Lizano on the side.“

“Thanks again for the catering. The chicken parm, francese, and sandwiches were awesome! Happy New Year!“

“Gran experiencia el Día de la Madre en D’Carbón de Haledon. Excelente servicio! Los gestos y atenciones de las meseras realmente hacen la diferencia en una cena especial. Jhoselyn y el resto del equipo del restaurante son expectaculares en un día tan ocupado como fue el día de la madre. Esos momentos especiales en los que te sientes bien atendido y cuidado hacen que la comida sea aún más deliciosa. Se que tendré muchas más experiencias increíbles en De Carbón y seguiré disfrutando de la comida peruana junto a tu familia y amigos gracias al gran servicio! Gracias Jhoselyn por tus atenciones!“

“lo mejor de lo mejor ❤️♥️“

“This place is TOP SHELF. Went twice this past week and honestly feel there is NO place in the area that comes remotely close to this restaurant! I moved from Bergen County and until now, could not find that rare combination of quality food, CLEAN and attentive , personable staff. The seafood is AMAZING. I’ve heard some comments in reference to the owner….guess what…he’s doing a whole lot of right, maybe you just don’t know the difference.“

“We were so fortunate to have Culcha Caribbean bring their food truck to our Fall company bbq. Employees thanked me for getting them. They sold out before the lobster truck if that tells you anything!“

“I recently attended a bridal shower at this restaurant, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff was warm, attentive, and a true pleasure to work with. The food was outstanding—beautifully presented and full of flavor. The atmosphere was perfect for the occasion, and everyone had a fantastic time. Highly recommend for any special event or dining!“

“The girl was pretty polite on phone , she even made sure that I am in calling for the right place. Had ordered a small chicken soup and chicken fried rice . Food was really good. For sure I will recommend this place. One extra star for hospitality as well.“

“Honestly, I wasn't expecting much since the price was comparatively low but was surprised by the taste and quality. This was a delivery order, and all the items I ordered were packed well and tasted really good. Would definitely order again.“
