50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Ocean View

“Best Dinner in the area great prices“

“Worst experience of my life! I had my micro wedding here and was charged for things I didn't get. No drinks were verbally offered they just had a separate table with pitchers of water on it. We paid $100 extra to have a table set up with lemonade and or iced tea pre ceremony. I was supposed to be able to set up my wedding favors on this table as well. The seafood dish was supposed to have scallops in it and we noticed they omitted them. In the private beach area where we were supposed to have our ceremony they had an event going on up to 15 minutes before my ceremony. They had picnic tables alongside the ceremony just overlaping and pushed against the fence I had to ask them to move so they would not be in my pictures. I had barely any time to set up decorations. The air-conditioning was broke supposedly in the whole restaurant they could not even provide fans so my guests were very hot and uncomfortable. The upstairs was supposed to be our rain plan but we asked if we could have everything up there and the GM would not allow us to move to the upstairs that was air-conditioned and not being used but I was allowed to change into my dress upstairs. We were told it cost more to have it upstairs. I felt like considering the air conditioner not working they should have moved us. Honestly I could go on and on but I'm too exhausted! I felt like I missed out on a lot of photo opportunities and moments bc of how hot and uncomfortable everyone was!“

“Very much enjoyed my delicious order of Singapore noodles and pork fried rice. The owner is very sweet and friendly also. Will be back to dine-in soon!!“

“Everything was perfect!! Food was outstanding! Service was fantastic. Very chill atmosphere. I highley recommend.“

“We tried Mike’s while on vacation in 2023 and knew we would be back! Worth the drive from OCNJ. Takeout is packed very well and portions are always enough for leftovers. Really like it here!“

“The best dinner I've ever had! The Grilled Octopus was amazing, the Caesar Salad was awesome...the Scallops were delicious...but the Ricotta, Honey, Almond and Nutella Torte was out of this world! Amy was the best waitress, her attentiveness and service were stellar! We cannot wait to go back!“

“Need to give a shoutout to Son of a sailor. We went for the first time tonight and we were blown away by the hot lobster rolls. Best we have had. Crazy amount of meat and super tasty, perfectly cooked! Don’t hesitate to try it. Amazing!! 🦞can’t wait to go back!“

“I have never had a bad experience at this restaurant. The food, along with the staff are the best. Enjoy.“

“When I am at the shore and I think seafood, I think Back Bay Seafood. Honestly, best crab cakes I ever had. And let’s not forget the broiled scallops, and stuffed shrimp, and the list goes on! Amazing food, high quality, and excellent customer service. Not to mention, family-owned business that appreciates their customers and are dedicated to providing quality meals, the kind you eat with your friends and family and make those down-the-shore memories. Can’t say enough good things about Back Bay, except I’ll be back real soon!“

“Simply amazing! Perfect food, service and view. The best restaurant at the Jersey shore.“

“Thank you for an amazing memorable birthday dinner. A true gem of Stone Harbor.“

“Everyone raves about Mike’s. We’ve been there and it’s good. Last night, we tried Marie’s. Wow, just wow. Do yourself a favor and try Marie’s. Just outstanding. Everyone had a terrific meal and the service was outstanding.“

“awesome definitely will be back!“

“Everything is delicious 😋“

“I stick to two items that never disappoint: the French Onion soup served in a crock and the hot roast beef w/horseradish and au jus for dipping. The onions are caramelized perfectly so they don't get mushy. The roast beef is lean, tender, and flavorful and the fresh horseradish gives plenty of bite. Hasn't changed in 20+ years; comfort food that spans the generation!“

“Great dinner waitresses were great fast service excellent meal“

“We've ordered 'Build Your Own Pot' twice from Topsail, OC. All fresh seafood...lobster, scallops, shrimp and crab. We highly recommend. It was so easy to steam on the stovetop! We grilled steaks and had a DELICIOUS dinner for eight at our shore house. We will be ordering again for this 4th of July!“

“Great atmosphere. We were seated by a window which allowed bay views. Drinks, apps, then dinner. Trust me you will be impressed. Our server was pleasant and efficient. I had snapper and it was delicious. We split a dessert of cheesecake. You need reservations, and in the off season they still draw a crowd. Plenty of off street parking. Enjoy.“

“food was absolutely amazing, staff was kind, and attentive but not annoyingly over. Definitely will be back when we come back to avalon“

“Great place to view the water and have good food limited menu, but still very good“

“Excellent..everything!! nice waiter too!!“

“WoW WoW WoW ! Today was my first time dining here and it certainly won’t be my last. Everything was incredible. Shrimp tempura for a starter and it was outstanding. The salmon dish was out of this world and like no other salmon entrée I have ever had. You will not be disappointed and the service was top notch! Well Done jays on third“

“My wife and I really enjoyed dinner. We had fish tacos that were absolutely fantastic.“

“I didn’t get any pics i am so sad about that! First i would like to start off that JoJo was an amazing server. The clams were delicious. We ordered calamari which was extra crispy! My husband had the fried flounder, my daughter had the lobster roll and my son had the lobster grilled cheese. The lobster was delightful but the grilled cheese was outstanding. I had the homemade crabcake! Wow! So Good !!“

“our second time coming here. we made a special trip on our vacation because the food is phenomenal. our server Matt was the best. We will definitely come back again on our next trip nearby.“

“We ate there last night. It is an upscale restaurant with white table clothes. You should eat on the patio facing the marina. Two of our dishes were very good- the flounder and the lobster ravioli. They had Slacktide Pale Ale on draft, which is great. You need reservations here, even during the week (in-season.)“

“Just picked up a container of their She Crab soup at Stone Harbor Farmers Market. All I can say is delish!! I’ll be back for more!“

“Went with Friends for a Late Lunch @ Gregory’s Restaurant Yesterday 12/12….Our Meals were Fantastic….Great Job Chef Ryan ‼️‼️“

“Outstanding service and top quality food!!! Amazing and delicious. Definitely our new go to place. Frank and his team are awesome!“

“My family and I have made it a tradition to go to Water Lily the last several years when we visit Stone Harbor. The food is always delicious, it is clean and the people are very warm and welcoming.“

“what an amazing experience, we were greeted with 2 dock hands eager to help get us a slip. got seated in no time and we had Rob as our waiter and he was phenomenal. the food and the service are second to none. I highly recommend. thank you“

“Delightful experience, beautiful property & wonderful ambience. LOVE that our Cape May Court House has such a special place for an elegant Sunday brunch. We sat at Katie's table, and she was delightful & efficient. We all enjoyed our food - my husband raved about the Ricotta Pancakes. Our friends had the omelet, and the Breakfast Burger. Raves all around! The pastry basket contained a delicious assortment; Katie generously brought out a second basket. We walked in with a bottle of sparkling Rosé to accompany brunch - an ice bucket magically appeared without us saying a word! The friends we dined with had a family event in the back solarium two months ago, which was wonderful according to their review. Brunch was absolutely lovely, and set the tone for a relaxing Sunday!“

“Always consistently good food.“

“Great food great service. Daniele our server was super sweet and so accommodating“

“Awesome bar and atmosphere“

“Custard was pretty good. We wanted to go to a la mode but the line was wrapped around the building at 9:30 so we figured we’d try something new.

We got gelaties and custard.

-4 flavors of water ice & 2 flavors for custard…chocolate and vanilla.

It’s CASH ONLY.

Water ice is chunky and not like a Rita’s but still good! It works for a quick treat.“

“We order dinner from here each time we visit Avalon. We love that we can call in the afternoon & arrange a time for pickup. Everything we’ve had has been very good & hot! We all look forward to “seafood night” from Avalon Seafood!!“

“Great food and entertainment. Terrific, friendly staff. Love Levari's.“

“every year my extended family and i go ( 20+ people) here during the summer and the service is amazing. the seafood here is amazing along with all their other food. I remember coming here as a kid and having a great time playing in a sandbox they had. I recommend lobster, crab, and chicken parm.“

“We had a delicious dinner last week and our server, Cayden, was excellent!“

“My husband and I visited Carmen’s Seafood Restaurant and had a wonderful experience. We ordered the seafood boil which was perfect. Our waitress was very personable and was quite successful in providing us with our food, promptly. The seafood was cooked to our perfection and delicious. Carmen’s Seafood Restaurant rates 100%.“

“Love the location in Townsend Inlet and close to the beach. Spacious and clean condo with room to spread out with our group. Can catch the jitney to the bars and other restaurants.“

“Kathy and Nick are always inventing new, interesting events to make folks proud to call our town Somers Point HOME.“

“Such a great place to eat. Food was so good and employees were so nice. Can’t wait to come back 😊“

“Great meal and service by Gina. The pumpkin raviolis were incredible and light.“

“Food and Service are top notch as you'd expect at a Union League Property. Interior is decorated nicely, and has an open feel. Despite the well hidden acoustic attenuation panels on the ceiling, the dining area is very loud as the noise from the bars spills into that area. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and hustle to serve guests and reset for the next wave of patrons.“

“Ordered the grilled salmon for lunch at the counter and ate at the tables outside. It was tasty and fresh as always. The service was fast and friendly. I tend to come to Mike’s once or twice while on vacation and I noticed that they even added a variety of different condiments on the fixings bar by the tables for patrons dining outside, a very nice addition. Thank you as always, Mike’s!“

“I had such a wonderful meal here and was really impressed by how fresh everything tasted. The portion sizes were perfect, and the flavors were authentic and savory without being too heavy. The staff were very welcoming and checked in on me a few times to make sure I had everything I needed, which made for a really comfortable dining experience. It is easily one of the best spots I have found for a quick and satisfying dinner, and I am already looking forward to my next visit to try a few more things on the menu.“

“The servers and managers are not educated with what's in the food. Got sick after going to Oar House Pub and the server saying they have a gluten option for the burgers when they don't. Ended up in the hospital and manager Amy C. can't even say simple sorry and is just an argumentative person. The person below was our server“

“Nice open space to spend time with family and friends. Casual. Inside and outside seating. Drinks are a little pricey (but it's Avalon) and there is a 2hr parking limit (street meters). We had finger food and drinks and had a great time sitting at the humongous and beautiful bar.“
