50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Pompton Lakes

“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!“

“A Hidden Gem in Hawthorne F1rst, a cozy BYOB nestled in Hawthorne, NJ, is a delightful surprise. The unassuming exterior belies the culinary excellence within. Our recent dinner with neighbors was a testament to the restaurant's charm. The star of the show was undoubtedly the pork chop. It was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful. The bolognese, rich and hearty, was another standout dish. The pasta was cooked al dente, and the sauce was simply divine. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall pleasant dining experience…including the occasional lovely Maitre D! While the restaurant's ambiance is modest, the quality of the food and the warm hospitality make it a truly special place. If you're seeking a memorable dining experience in Hawthorne, f1rst is a must-try.“

“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!)“

“This was one of the best experiences I’ve had! The food was fresh, delicious, and packed with flavor. You can tell they really care about what they do. They also went above and beyond with their service and made everything feel special. I’ll definitely be ordering from them again. Highly recommend!“

“Everything amazing food and service and beautiful“

“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.“

“We recently had our wedding and reception at Segovia and are beyond pleased with the results. The staff accommodated our every need; Angela and Matt, who helped us with the booking and menu, were pleasant and professional always. All of our guests commented on how delicious the food was, and the upstairs private room was perfect for our party of 30 people. Particularly deserving of praise is Steve, who went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy and that our special day went as smoothly as possible.“

“Everything is simply wonderful; it’s an experience you can’t do that often, since the food is so rich, but this truly is a very wonderful restaurant with incredible staff and management, and absolutely delicious and hot food! I’ll put it to you like this: we wouldn’t have come here for our 15th wedding anniversary if we didn’t think the world of this restaurant! 100% recommended.“

“The staff was friendly, Filet mignon was the best I've ever had. Highly recommended.“

“Was looking for a good authentic Chinese food in this part of Jersey, and this place clearly delivered. Incredible minced beef soup to start. Then had the fried rice, braised duck with mixed vegetables, and pan-fried flounder. Delicious. The service was good and attentive, though quite pricey, especially the duck ( $38), and there wasn't much meat, just more vegetables. But the flounder was worth it, $32.95.“

“Excellent food and service always an enjoyable evening at Michael Angelo’s in Fairfield“

“The food is amazing! There are so many options (not just seafood). I can honestly say I have never been disappointed! Buca's is my #1 seafood spot!

Dietary restrictions: You can get your food made any way you want it!“

“Great Italian restaurant, great service and atmosphere. But the most important thing is the food - the food we received was a wonderful ray of Italy on this rainy day. Even though there were loud parties nearby, it was great. It's definitely worth visiting.“

“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“

“Just delicious and the service for our large group was fantastic“

“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.“

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

“Delicious food , lunch menu available , BYOB, Liquor store within 1 minute walking distance , yummy desserts, indoor / outdoor dining, great service, reward points program 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

“Sear House is impeccably clean, pastas and steaks are prepared well, bread served warm and housemade desserts delicious. The dinner pricepoint is a little high but comparable to similar menu restaurants in NJ. Sun-Thur prix fixe is your best bet but with limited selection. We appreciated the pristine airy ambiance, service and food at an earlier repast event with screens available to show photos and videos of remembrance. They were quite respectful of what was being said and shared and waited patiently to serve at appropriate times.“

“Excellent food and service we love this restaurant“

“My family and I come here all the time for large family gatherings. The food is absolutely phenomenal here, especially the pecking duck buns and sweet and sour pork. We also love the soy sea bass, crispy chicken, ginger scallion lobster, pork chops and corn egg drop soup. One time we brought them king crab legs to cook and they cooked all of our king crab legs to perfection!! I don’t usually write google reviews but this place is so special to me and my family and adore this spot. The service is so fast and attentive and they are kind enough to provide free dessert whether that be fresh oranges, fresh fruit or even sometimes sweet red bean soup! Please consider coming here and supporting them! They’re so deserving, hardworking and kind!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“lo mejor de lo mejor ❤️♥️“

“Pretty good food, friendly service.“

“The tapas is so delicious! And so us the sangria.“

“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!“

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

“They hooked me up! Delicious food; good portions. I usually get oxtail from Jamaican restaurants. I'd say it's one of the top of the restaurants I've eaten from.

That said, oxtail is generally an expensive meat to buy and can be hard to cook right. So, it can be difficult to find places like this that give you a decent amount. And I've orderd from them a few times, so I can say their potion size is generally consistent from what I've seen.“

“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!“

“Exceptional Hospitality & Outstanding Dining Black Bull Steakhouse never disappoints! Despite planning to close early for snow, they graciously welcomed us, showcasing their top-notch hospitality. The service was impeccable—attentive, warm, and professional. And the food? Simply outstanding. Every dish, from perfectly cooked steaks to delicious sides, was exceptional. Our waiter Artie was amazing. A huge thank you to the team for going above and beyond, despite wanting to close early because of the snow, they welcomed us graciously and provided amazing service. If you’re looking for a steakhouse that truly values its guests, Black Bull is the place to be!“

“We ordered a thin crust Sicilian with vodka sauce, grilled chicken, and mushrooms and it was amazing!With so many other pizza places in the area, we never thought to check this local pizza place out, but our neighbor, Bernadette, gave us a gift card for helping her out and we’ve been coming back ever since. Bernadette has since passed, but we’ll think of her every time we eat there now. Highly recommend checking it out!“

“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!“

“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.“

“A Little Falls staple! Really excellent fusion tacos with creative weekly specials that can’t be missed. Try the pork al pastor! The staff is really friendly and the service is great. They have me coming back nearly weekly— so I highly recommend“
