12 Best Seafood Restaurants in Princeton

“Amazing food. Grilled octopus was perfect!“

“Celebrated my birthday here last night. Food was fantastic and service excellent. First time at this location. Enjoyed happy hour at the bar before my dinner reservation. Spicy margaritas and lobster tacos … two thumbs up!

Jessica from the hostess stand decorated and brought me to my table followed by a group birthday champagne toast with Gina my server for the night. I tried the wagyu dumplings at Gina’s suggestion…. OFF DA CHAIN YUMMY!!! Then, Gina wisely recommended the special of the night which was PERFECT…. 2 Medallion filet mignon with jumbo shrimp on top of asparagus. I literally sat there grinning ear to ear! Lol.

The night was closed out with a complimentary bananas fosters…. Scrumptious!!!

Frankly, I expected the food to impress. I had been to a Fort Lauderdale location 2/3 years ago. But service Ofcourse always makes THE difference one way or another. I hope the powers that be acknowledge and properly reward both Jessica and Gina. Jessica was incredibly warm, kind and gracious. Gina was extremely kind, professional and very well versed on the menu. Both ladies helped take my birthday dining experience to the next level. Thanks again ladies!

Hey Eddie V’s management: Take care of your people. You can’t train folks to give what these ladies give everyday. Pay them appropriately! Acknowledge them! And SEE THEM. ( btw…this is a challenge not a complaint ). We all need fair wages in these crazy times. Do the right thing!
Thank you for a great evening!“

“Celebrating 3 birthdays at Roots Ocean Prime with 8 people. Everyone loved their entrees (steaks ) which were cooked perfectly. Sides were tasty and enjoyed by everyone. Great wine list. Appreciated the wine recommendation by our server. Our server, Rachel, was excellent. The birthday desserts were the hit of the dinner! Thank you Roots Ocean Prime for making the birthday celebration extra special!“

“Chuck’s has friendly and welcoming staff, which I really appreciated. The food was just okay for me; personally, I found it a bit too greasy and not quite to my taste. It might be a better fit for someone who enjoys that style, but it wasn’t my favorite.“

“Just recently visited for the first time....my daughter treated me for my birthday...great original margarita.....seared tuna steak ....perfectly prepared...Chilean sea bass over creamy rice...looking forward to next time🍹🍰“

“If we only came here once, it would have been 5 stars. Upon second visit and trying more of the menu, I have to knock it down to a 4.

The good: The crispy spicy tuna appetizer was great. The Snow Queen halibut was absolutely incredible. The fish quality in the sushi is high across the board.

The less-good: I ordered a signature maki (the Ice and Fire) and did not like it. The Salmon Mentai was way too salty. The tofu skewer's breading was soggy.

At this price point, one of my criteria for 5-star is that I can order anything off the menu - and even if I assumed I wouldn't like it, the chef would be good enough to change my mind. This doesn't meet that bar.“

“Ordered some paella for #mothersday2021 and there was a slight mishap.@nassaustreetseafood promptly provided an alternative that they delivered (25 mins away) with a little extra flare! Thank you for the mothers day tulips along with the correction! The halibut was amazing! Will definitely order again!“

“The salads and Tuna sandwich were superb! The owner was very friendly to make sure the food and presentation were top notch. If you are in the neighborhood of the Princeton Soup and Sandwich Company I highly recommend grabbing some great food. The decorated gingerbread cookies were worth the calorie intake. You won't be disappointed choosing to eat what they have to offer!“

“You have to try the sweet potato tempura sushi. What a revelation! My omnivore friend and I had a great vegan meal here. There are several vegetarian options that won't make anyone feel deprived.“

“EFES Grill in downtown Princeton is a good Mediterranean eatery with a comprehensive menu with many vegetarian options. The order is placed on a kiosk and is well prepared and presented in a sustainable brown paper bag by the enthusiastic crew. The ample quantity of food was authentically tasty. With seating both inside and outside it is a good choice for a lunch that is reasonably priced.“

“We love steaks, and Ruth’s Chris Princeton is our go-to place for special occasions. This time, we received an email offering a special prix fixe course, so we decided to give it a try. The course included a choice of appetizer, entrée, sides, and dessert. I had the Caesar salad, a 6oz filet with shrimp, creamy spinach, and chocolate cake—everything was excellent.

What impressed us even more was the service. From start to finish, the timing was perfect, and the attentive yet comfortable service reminded us of the high-end steakhouses we’ve visited in Texas. We truly had a wonderful time. The portion sizes were just right, allowing us to enjoy every course—especially the dessert, which we usually skip because we’re too full. It was also pleasant to see many guests dressed nicely; you can tell the patrons respect the restaurant. Overall, a great experience.“
