50 Best Seafood Restaurants near East Islip

“Whether you want to order a pizza to take home , or eat in the dining room. Vinnie’s Mulberry is the spot.

Any meal I had there was excellent. The service is impeccable. The atmosphere is family oriented. So it is like having a hug with dinner. I like that appetizers, soup, salad, main meal are brought out in steps. That way you can enjoy the courses. This has been my favorite spot to eat since last summer. Had taken my family members there. Me and one of my good friends go there all the time. My first time there, they made me mocktails that I requested. They were great.

Go there with your family. There is something for everyone. You will have a nice time.“

The food was delicious- fresh, tasty and the portions were so large that everyone took a doggy bag home. It was served by a great staff including Angel who was our server. The owner, Donna, was very cordial and friendly. Everyone had a great time. We can't wait for our next family dinner to return. This is a must restaurant if you are a seafood lover!!“

“This place is my favorite place for dinner date with hubby! Love the sitting area outside by the fireplace and of course their food and wine!“

“My Husband and I stumble across this place tonight and couldn’t be happier about it! From the moment we walked through the door on a busy Saturday night at 7:00pm we walk in simply based on a great name! The hostess Deanna was lovely and welcoming we were able to sit right away! The food was absolutely amazing and so were the drinks!! But the star of the show was the staff our waitress Emily was the best we have ever had! Just the right amount of attentive that we never looked for her and always felt taking care up. The busser also did an amazing job never a dirty plate on our table. We go out alot and I can’t remember the last time a restaurant covered it all flawlessly Service drinks and food. We have already texted friend excited to bring them here! Can’t wait to come back keep up the amazing work!“

“The food is out of this world. The servers are professional and patient. My husband and I felt great, relaxed and we were able to talk unlike other restaurants that you can't hear people on your table.“

“Nice spot. Quaint, good food, lovely staff… attended some great Sayville reunions here…. Really really wish you were open for lunch.“

“Last night we (2 couples) went to Ruth Chris Steak House in Lake Grove, NY for dinner and had the best dinning experience we have had in awhile. It is now our favorite steak restaurant. The food is outstanding, compliments to the chief!! Also, I would like to comment on our waitress, Kim, who is terrific!!! She was so attentive to all our requests, took care of us all night. Also, the manager is a real gentleman, and he also made us feel comfortable and special. Without a doubt, this is the best steak restaurant on the Island, we have been to most of the upscale restaurants here and we rate this the best. If you want terrific food, great service, and a delightful ambiance, try this restaurant, you won't be disappointed!!!“

“BEST TACOS ON THE NORTH SHORE. We stumbled into Ditch solely by chance and we are so happy we did. It’s a breath of fresh air for a rather stale Main Street in PJ. Very beachy vibes, feels more south shore LI than snobby north shore which is probably why I love it so much. The menu has a little bit of everything and everything we saw coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. We ordered tacos, five different tacos so we could try a bit of everything. From the perfect corn tortilla to the pineapple toppings, everything was fresh and delicious. The owner Tracy came over to welcome us to his new spot and express his gratitude for giving the new spot a chance. Our server Brennan was working a busy lunch shift mostly solo and he still delivered a top notch experience. Very happy with our new discovery and we can’t wait to go back!“

“Best lobster roll ever! The bartender confirmed what I already knew! ❤️You have a great staff! They believe in your restaurant and in your products! We will be back! 100/10 experience no seat is ever a bad seat at Kingstons ❤️“

“I recently hosted my daughter’s Bridal Shower Brunch at Bayberry. Everything about our experience was exceptional. The staff was helpful and accommodating, the menu options were extensive and delish and the chic atmosphere was the perfect setting for the vibe we wanted to achieve. I highly recommend Bayberry for your next event or night out ❣️“

“My husband and i have been regular customers for many years of catfish Annies and we just found out they make lobster rolls yummy, we use to go to port Jefferson cause we know of a great place that has them.so today we ordered 2 to go that we were surprise that for $26.99 and you get either fries or their delicious seafood bisque soup we felt this was a good price. let me tell you they give you plenty of lobster and it is so delicious, i am glad to see that we have a place closer to home that we can go. Way to go!!“

“….….Best place on earth………“

“Just had the all you can eat for the first time and it was incredible. The service was equally amazing and the $1 drinks were surprisingly strong. 5 stars from us.“

“Deliciosa toda la comida 🥘 y muy buena atención 😋“

“Everything! Food and service Holbrook definitely has a large assortment of goodies and staff is friendly and smart ❤️“

“Celebrated my birthday at Tellers & couldn’t have chosen a better place. The steak was cooked to perfection, the Beef Wellington was worth every bite, & the mac & cheese was delicious. The chocolate cake was the perfect sweet ending. We’ll definitely be back!“

“What a wonderful find in Smithtown. Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. The seafood pasta was loaded with fresh mussels, shrimp, and calamari, while the baked stuffed mushrooms were rich and savory.

Everything was presented beautifully. I particularly loved the vibrant touch of fresh herbs sprinkled over all the plates. It made the entire meal feel that much more special.

We topped off our evening with a refreshing, perfectly chilled cocktail garnished with a lime slice. The atmosphere is lovely and the service was just as great as the food. I will definitely be back.“

“Delicious food, great service and enjoyable atmosphere. Would highly recommend this special gem“

“My favorite place to go every summer! Thank you for a delicious lunch and terrific afternoon! Love Matthew’s Seafood House.“

“Always a great time! Great music, decent bar food, and hands down the #1 place to get a Rocket Fuel. Sure, you’ll occasionally have to dodge a few loud, overgrown frat boys, but the awesome bartenders and staff keep the atmosphere fun and make everyone feel welcome.
This place and The Pink House are my too favorite places!“

“#weddingplanning Here is your luxury wedding venue with a million dollar View. No pun intended. Jonathan Berrios & James Hann made the planning and execution of the day so easy. And here is a secret...It was affordable. The food was incredible and plentiful. Great Chefs. Another secret...add the raw oyster station. We went with 100% out of doors and it was spectacular. Fits 100 easily. Places for shade and sun and a great gazebo for the ceremony. We can't recommend it more. We did our wedding but this could have been a 50th birthday just as easily. Another secret is bring your own acoustic player for the music. We had a friend play and it really set the mood for the day. So, The View in Oakdale is a perfect spot to start a life together, party for someone reaching a milestone or hell, just a great happy hour with friends on the water.“

“You will not find a restaurant on fire Island that is better. From the food, the host, the bartenders, the food aervers. Our waiter Ben is the best in the business. Makes you feel welcome, one of the best waiters I have had in any restaurant experience. If I could give 10 stars to this restaurant, I would.“

“Omg Amazing food, great drinks and perfect ending with the flan 🍮 😍 to die for, highly recommend!!!!“

“We had an incredible experience for our first time dining here. From the moment we sat down, the service set the tone for the entire evening. Our server, Ricardo, was top notch: charming, warm, and exceptionally knowledgeable about the menu. He made us feel welcome right away and gave fantastic recommendations.
The food was outstanding from start to finish. The chicken Scarpariello was packed with bold, savory flavor and cooked to perfection, while the seafood marinara featured abundant, fresh seafood tossed in a rich, perfectly seasoned sauce. We finished the night with the cannoli, which was crispy, sweet, and the absolute perfect ending to the meal.
Fantastic food, a wonderful atmosphere, and world class service from Ricardo. We will definitely be back!“

“On the advice of a friend who regularly visits Fire Island, our family of eight, including a four-year-old and an infant, had an amazing dinner experience at Albatross tonight. I was somewhat apprehensive because the restaurant's Google rating was lower than that of another restaurant where we had had a disappointing lunch the first day of our stay. So I wanted to write my five-star review as soon as possible.

Our positive experience began when we dropped by during the afternoon to get the hostess's advice on how to procure a table for eight people -- without a reservation! -- on a busy Saturday night. She told us that if we came before 6:00 they would probably be able to accommodate us.

This is exactly what happened. When we arrived we were immediately seated at a comfortable table near the window. The attentive waitstaff quickly took our drink orders and, shortly thereafter, our meal orders.

I was worried that our small children might become difficult while we ate two courses (starters and a main course). However, our server brought our starters quickly, and the main course soon after clearing our dishes from the first course. The timing was perfect!

The food was perfect, too. I enjoyed my New England clam chowder, one of the best versions I've tasted. The table shared top-notch oysters, steamers, fried calamari, and Buffalo wings. Our mains, which included grilled fish, linguine with white clam sauce, and penne with vodka source and grilled shrimp, were uniformly excellent, with quality ingredients and preparation. For example, the grilled broccoli that accompanied my barramundi was so flavorful that it transcended the norm for this standard vegetable.

With our meal we enjoyed a bottle of white wine at a fair price.

This review may sound too favorable to be true, but it accurately describes our experience. I recommend Albatross wholeheartedly.“

“Everything is delicious Five ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Very satisfied with my dinner here. High quality fish and amazing service. Food was top tied. Very good experience, highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Food is always delicious !“

“Friendly accommodating staff. Beautiful water and sunset views. Food and service was great. The cocktails were even better.“

“Went on the recommendation of friends and was blown away. Super friendly owner/staff in a very cozy environment with super delicious food. Will definitely be back. Cannot wait.“

“Nice Seafood Resto by the waters.“

“My 9 year old had decompression and a duraplasty surgery at the beginning of the month. When we were discharged from PEDS ICU, claws was the first meal he requested. We absolutely love the lobster bisque. The lobsters rolls are so chunky and delicious. The crab cakes are divine. Now I’m starving. Thanks. lol“

“Found this hidden gem while running some lunchtime errands and wandered in to grab a quick bit. I didn't have high expectations but I have say it was a pleasant surprise. Sicilian and regular slice of pizza were both really good. This is some of the best pizza in the area and I have tried a few. Don't miss out on this place for some good 'za“

“Service was very good. The food was enjoyed by all four of us. Note there are two places to eat here. One is indoors and the other one is outdoors. They are both Tiki Joe's. The outdoor one is a sit down type of restaurant while the inside one is counter service. You definitely want to eat at the outdoor one. The atmosphere outdoors is very Picturesque. The resterant is located on the Peconic River. It is located at the charter boat docks. You can't beat the views. If you are lucky there will be a band playing. Tiki Joe's is located in Captree State Park. There is an $8:00 entrance fee per car.“

“We ate at this Japanese restaurant in Oakdale because we had tickets for the CM Performing Arts Center and it was nearby. It was a lovely restaurant with excellent service, and the food was fine. I ordered hibachi and knew that it wouldn't be cooked in front of me, but it was very different from the hibachi I've experienced at Benihana, for example. Two friends got Bento boxes and thought they were excellent.“

“Walk off the ferry in Ocean Beach and walk into the best restaurant on the Great South Bay. The location, service, and food are unsurpassed. The Curry Shrimp is spiced to perfection. It is a generous portion, but you will want more. Lunch or dinner is a Five Star experience.“

“Great local restaurant with a ton of options on the menu. The food was unanimously amazing, the service was pleasant, and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. My wife and I split the Bandeja Paisa platter and it was so much food we had a full serving left over to bring home. My toddler’s cheese quesadilla was delicious. Looking forwards to eating here again soon!“

“I recommend this place . Great atmosphere, delicious food , drinks very good . the service very respectful. I really came back“
