32 Best Seafood Restaurants near Getzville

“We ordered here for the first time and I'm very happy with the experience. The food tasted very good and the prices were reasonable. The steamed dumplings were fantastic with more meat inside than any other Chinese restaurant I've been to in a long time. I'm only giving four stars because there was one thing I found to be unsatisfactory: the rice. The rice that is part of the combo dinners was sort of bland and a little too dry for my taste. Overall, though I was very pleased and I will definitely order with them again.“

“Having been many times, I am surprised I have been so remiss in reviewing 2 Forks Up. We're close, so we go frequently. I have rarely been anything but satisfied, and frequently pleasantly full with my taste buds tickled.To start with, parking is odd - they are located in a strange part of center Getzville next to some old buildings we are always curious about. Their stairs are steep to enter.Now, on to the goods. I brought the (adult) kids and in-laws there last night, and we had plentiful apps (fried banana pepper rings, good but not painful heat), mozzarella sticks, and salads. Bottle of wine, few drinks and entrees all around, bill was $300 with tip for 6. Not awful.Lobster roll continues to be well-stuffed and tasty. Wife's shrimp scampi had her raving. Father in law's food restrictions were well handled and he enjoyed his meal. Wish the scallops on the Cajun scallop roll were larger and fewer in number but the taste can't be beat. I would order the fisherman's platter if I wanted to indulge and be less-than-healthy.No desserts this time but check out the case when you enter to eye what they have!Huge plusses include a server who handled our unusually-picky table with grace and professionalism, THE SIDEWINDER FRIES (the best fries I have ever had!), a tasty gin and tonic with cucumber that was very reasonably priced, the after-dinner mints (we selfishly always pocket a handful, they're our favorite in town!), and wine to-go.Only drawback, really, is the loud dining room, but hey, folks are having a good time.We'll be back soon, especially when our mint supply starts to run low. ?“

“one of my favs in downtown buffalo for years. the food is absolute perfection. the staff is top notch. the manager Adam is absolutely amazing and makes us feel like we are always welcome and appreciated. the ambiance of this amazing place along with an unbelievable whiskey selection has made this a once a week or evey other week place for us. honestly i wish i could eat and drink here every day!!!“

“The Chophouse is always fantastic!! My go to for all occasions and certainly any time I go to Shea's. The manager always greets us and checks on our table during dinner. Reuben and Quinn are great!! Mickey the best behind the bar. Food is fabulous. Steaks, lobster, creamed corn, augratin potatoes, oysters Caesar salad all wonderful. We will be back !!!!“

“Love the food and atmosphere and the service is great. I understand food prices have gone up and realize restaurants have raise prices but we found a significant price jump since last summer. That being said, we will return because we do enjoy the food and atmosphere.“

“Such a lovely experience. Great food. My husband had the chicken Parmesan and he loved it said best chix parm he ever had. I had a seafood special and it was cooked to perfection. The bread was amazing. Dessert was mini donuts and were perfect and so much flavor. My martini was perfect and they even made me blue cheese stuffed olives!! I note that the owner made everyone feel very special by interacting with every table and service was excellent and attentive. Thank you Lauren.For a Friday night, where sometimes it’s so busy to go to a restaurant, you almost expect to get a lower level of service .… we received a higher level of service than I get at most establishments. Thank you for such a lovely and tasty evening.“

“Their service and food continues to be one of the best in WNY! We happily drive about 30 minutes away for their fish fry. Small wait on Fridays of course. Same everywhere for Lent. Cajun fries were a good choice with the fishParking: Very irregular size lot around the outside of the restaurant, tough to park when it's busy“

“Wow...what great food and service!Totally enjoyable for our adult family of 5.We would never hesitate to return.Wonderful assistance with the menu items, all were very well described(Just one thing...it was nice to hear it...but...since we were in the dining area with the piano ... It was too loud, way.)“

“We had crab legs, which were delicious. Unfortunately the special ribeye was overcooked. We ordered medium and it was definitely well done. We don't mind paying for a good quality food, but it's unfortunate when the food is not cooked to perfection. “

“delicious pho ....my favorite place to grab a noodle bowl...their broth is delicious and they have the best chili sauce in the city!!*Update 2024* Still hands down the best Pho in the city! My wife and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary there today solidifying the fact Pho Lantern is truly forever going to hold a place in my heart. I Love You Guys ?“

“Was my first visit and even though it was for the Easter buffet I have to say the food was AMAZING well seasoned and fresh! They kept the fresh entrees coming and there were a VARIETY of things to choose from and personally I LOVE that because I'm not a breakfast food person! Their serves were sweet and personable. I really enjoyed my visit and I have to try their full menu I can only imagine ?“

“SZND is a unique upscale restaurant in the city of Buffalo! I love dining in their sophisticated intimate setting. Everything about this restaurant is fantastic! They provide excellent service. Their food is seasoned to perfection! I highly recommend the blackened artichokes for an appetizer. The fettuccine & scallops and halibut are two dishes not to be missed! I've dined here on several occasions. It's been consistently wonderful every time! Their address is on Hertel but the entrance is around the corner. The sign is easy to miss. Parking can be a bit of a challenge. There is a parking lot across the street I usually have luck finding a space there. It's definitely worth making a trip out here!“

“This place was crazy fun, the atmosphere was amazing, and the conversations were enthralling. The bartender is a hoot... and a cutie ?, and the people there will have you wheezing.Besides that I gotta give compliments to the chef. I got the Angus burger and let me tell you, you gotta try it. They add something sweet to the burger (I skepticize it to be some sort of jam) but the contrast that it makes.with the savory burger is amazing. Not to mention the Fry's cooked to perfection; exactly what I needed.All around the place was very clean, definitely up to date on everything; and from what I've seen of the kitchen there's not much to worry about. The bathrooms were spiff and span and the mirror was cool.Which brings me to my final point, The layout. I had to say the design of the bar was very classic, you come in and are treated with a bar and a few tables and a booth wall. The kitchen connects behind the bar and out of the bar and a kitchen window. Then a small hallway that leads to both genders bathrooms and some other off limit stuff I presume(Didn't snoop around too much XD). I really like the bar and how the spirits were backlight.To summarize, id give it a 5/5 if you're looking for a good time. Thanks if you actually read all this.(PS, Sam, nice tattoo)Wheelchair accessibility: Street level with a door wide enough, no automatic doors but I'm sure a bartender or a fellow citizen would help.“

“I am from the New England area. And, I am a tough customer in regards to seafood. Hayes is the best! At the restaurant. To pack it up raw. And cook for yourself! Simply put. The freshest and best in the buffalo and surrounding areas!!!!“

“Highly recommend Grezi on Main! We came from out of town to visit with family and had the pleasure of dining at this local restaurant. We enjoyed starting out with a cocktail (The Oliver), Autumn Salad, Pan Seared Scallops, Jumbo Chicken Wings and Brussels Sprout Bruschetta. We enjoyed the Grezi Smash Burger as our entree. Then ended the night with 3 different desserts. Food was phenomenal, staff were friendly and decor was elegant!! This Buffalo restaurant is outstanding!“

“My friends and I go to Nephew’s bbq every other Friday because we enjoy not only the food, but the atmosphere, the music and the service. I always get the rib dinner (compares to Lee’s Ribs on Fillmore) with potato salad (so bomb), and then add on a slice of cheesecake. For the drink, I get the Precious Paradise (it’s so fruity and delicious). Everything is great! Everyone is very welcoming! Tionne, the server is a little sweetheart and I absolutely love her! I highly recommend! We go to chill, mingle, vibe and listen to music and eat delicious food! I always look forward to my Fridays here!“

“I got a fried haddock sandwich. It was just the small sun roll and the fish. A container of tarter sauce and hot sauce was in the bag. The fish was fried wonderfully. I would definitely go back again. The customer service was great! The young man behind the counter, a heavy set gentleman with an infectious smile that's always flirting with me from DTW made my food. Hahahahaa if you know you know. If you don't just keep reading. This is a seafood restaurant however they also sell wings and a few other things. The prefixes are incredibly reasonable. There is no reason not to check them out. It's a very small restaurant right adjacent to the YMCA on William. If ure not looking you will pass right by it.“

“The food and atmosphere are hard to beat anywhere in town, let alone downtown. I really appreciate that there's so much that I can eat with my dumb food allergy issues (gluten, dairy, corn, eggs). The staff is super friendly and helpful as well!“

“We came for the fish fry. The server was friendly, attentive, and willing to take time to tell us about the history of the place.The fish was cod, not haddock. It was tender and spot on flakey. That itself was a very pleasant change from a lot of other places.We will be back soon.“

“Never a negative experience this restaurant does everything the right way and it’s staff is superb various menu options will have you returning for moreVegetarian options: Veggies omelette ,soup, lasagna etcParking: Close and has multiple handicap spotsWheelchair accessibility: Asphalt ramp“

“Service was great! Ambiance was even better and food was very good! There was ALOT of good meals to choose from. Caesar was one of the best I've had. Cacio e Pepe was 8/10. Can't say it tasted 100% authentic as it should taste mostly like pecorino but the house made noodles were perfect. It could have used a little more salt. Lobster was cooked perfectly. Tiramisu was a 10/10. Espresso martini was decent. Pretty sure it was coffee liquor and not actual espresso. Can't wait to go back !!“

“In my opinion, the first sign of a good restaurant like this is the fact that it is not empty.It is located in a beautiful environment right by the river.We ordered pretzels with mustard, which surprised me with the shape, but they were perfect. Overcooked, soft and wonderful with a touch of mustard.As a main course, I ordered fish & chips, which I may have slightly regretted, because the selection was wide.The food was very tasty, but the restaurant is seasonal, so I won't be going back anytime soon. But what is important, I would like to.“

“My family had dinner tonight. I had the scallop special which was outstanding (and gluten free friendly !). My husband had the Reuben, and my son had the spaghetti and meatball. Great service and good quality food. Always a good meal. Would recommend.“

“I have a lot of food allergies that often make it difficult for me to eat out. Thai Orchid Cafe was wonderful with taking the time to ask additional questions to clarify what I can and can’t eat. You can also tell that their ingredients are very fresh and was overall super delicious!!“

“Had my daughters bridal shower brunch there today. Everything went perfect! Diane was very easy to work with, very accommodating and everything went as was planned. The room looked great, food was delicious and the service was excellent. Thank you again for making it easy to have a joyous celebration without any headaches. Would definitely book an event there again!Parking: Free parking.“

“As soon as I seen another Hot Pot placed opened up I was very eager to try this out. It's not a typical hot pot restaurant where you cook the food yourself, but you can pick what you want inside your dish (meats, seafoods, veggies, etc.). The selection of choices is very good, and the quality is great. I'll definitely be coming back for more.“

“Very good and diverse food selection. Not the best I have ever had, but not bad at all. Atmosphere is typical tavern restaurant although really restaurant dominate. Ok beer selection, poor wine options, margaritas served in a rock glass. But all in all I would not hesitate to go there again as long as it was convenient.“

“The perfect spot for a blend of comfort and quality dining. During the week they do deals for two. We visited on a Thursday for two 20oz Blackened Prime Rib steaks, a choice of sides, soup or salad, and a bottle of wine for $85. We also enjoyed their Bacon wrapped BBQ Scallops! Many restaurants’ can not do Bacon wrapped right, but there’s is perfect! The fish tanks are a great touch and make for such a unique vibe.“

“3/8/24G&B is a very nice place to get your meals!It is clean, service is most respectful, staff is always kind and pleasant!The food is WONDERFUL!!!! It is fresh , not swimming in oil, comes with sliced bread, and is always prepared neatly, and with the preferred condiments! So pleased to have been told about this gem!“

“"A Delightful Culinary Experience by the Water""I recently visited Old Man River in North Tonawanda and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The restaurant boasts a charming, casual atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed dining experience. The standout feature is definitely its location – right by the water, providing a serene backdrop for a meal.The menu offers a variety of options, catering to different tastes. I particularly enjoyed their seafood selections, which were fresh and well-prepared. The service was friendly and efficient, adding to the overall positive experience.The only downside was a slight wait for our food, possibly due to the crowd, but it was worth it for the quality of the meal. Additionally, while the seating was comfortable, more shaded areas would be appreciated during sunny days.Overall, Old Man River provides a delightful mix of good food, scenic views, and friendly service. It's a great spot for both locals and visitors looking for a laid-back dining experience by the water. I'm looking forward to my next visit!"“

“Came here on a Saturday afternoon. It was very busy, so the service was pretty quick.I got 1lb of the headless shrimp - it tasted ok. The shrimp itself was a tad overcooked and it didn’t taste as good as a seafood boil in the South. Probably because it wasn’t a seafood boil in the South…Not sure if I’d go back, but I will say, I was full for HOURS afterwards.“

“Ordered take out. Eggplant parmesan sub was delicious. Perfectly breaded eggplant. 1/2 and 1/2 pizza had a flavourful crust. Real italian. You won't be disappointed.They legit appreciate your business.Vegetarian options: Eggplant parmesan!“
