50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Howard Beach

“My wife and I were recently at your restaurant our server who told us he was new to his position (2weeks) gave us amazing cartious and attentive service like an experienced professional unfortunately I didn't get the young man's name..our visit was on Friday 2/25 at about 3:30 in the afternoon . I just wanted to give him his due compliments“

“I loved this place so much. Food fantastic. Excellent vibe and the music great.“

“Half chicken with chicken fried rice was good so no complaints there. I ordered some BBQ ribs on the side and got 5 ribs in a bag for $10 which I didn't think was too bad although the ribs were a little dry. I had asked for duck sauce and they made sure to accommodate me by giving me 6 whole packets of duck sauce so I guess they either really care about accommodating their customers, or maybe they were being petty idk. Regardless, my go to Chinese spot closed down some months ago so this might have to be my new go to. Honestly, my favorite thing about this place is probably the prices, as the places closer to my house are more expensive.“

“This is a real gem of place. The food and wine is perfect. A beautiful and unique menu. Staff are friendly and efficient. Gorgeous venue, loved the rock music. Highly recommend.“

“Despite the cool atmosphere, good vibe, and enjoyable drinks, our experience was hindered by inattentive service. We waited at the bar for quite some time, trying to catch the eye of two different waiters, but were largely ignored. It was disappointing, especially given that they were pretty much right in front of us, backs turned, walking by and seemed to be doing everything possible to actually serve customers.

The shrimp were not very good given the price. The tuna tartar was excellent.“

“Excellent cocktails, excellent service, and excellent atmosphere! 10/10“

“Moono is an absolute gem! The galbi jjim is unforgettable—perfectly tender, fall-off-the-bone beef braised in this rich, savory sauce that’s both comforting and packed with flavor. It’s seriously one of the best versions I’ve ever had. And then there’s the Pyongyang cold noodles, which are refreshing, delicate, and incredibly well-balanced. The cold broth is light yet flavorful, and the noodles have just the right chew. If you’re craving authentic Korean flavors with a sophisticated twist, Moono should be at the top of your list. This place truly celebrates Korean cuisine, and I couldn’t recommend it enough!“

“Excellent and comfortable affordable“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

“Grilled Branzino, Mushroom Pad Cha, Seafood sous Padang, Crying Tiger, Tom Yum fried rice

All absolutely delicious, each authentic and rich in flavor, literally could not put my utensils down; the depth and variety of flavor between each dish was immaculately prepared“

“I've had the privilege to dine in many amazing restaurants around the globe and even privately in the kitchen of some famous chefs. I can say with absolute authority that this was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Absolutely amazing from first bite to last! Make sure to opt-in for the savory beignet as well. It was superlative. I'll be envious of anyone getting to dine here until I have a chance to come back again!“

“I had a wonderful time, the food was delicious, strong drinks. Plenty of food, beautiful restaurant. Definitely worth it. Plus we got a little loud and they were fine with it. Didn’t feel threatened lol“

“Ocean Prime is a must if down in NYC. We had came for my wife’s birthday and had an amazing experience. Our serve Ripon was amazing and made great suggestions for drinks, entrees, and desert. He made sure my wife’s birthday was perfect. The food was amazing and the drinks were great too.“

“Had always heard great things and I can confirm that they hold up. They have some outdoor seating so we took advantage of that. Ordered the Sabry’s Combo (shrimp, calamari and salmon) which came with salad, bread and rice. Also got the mixed Tajine (shrimp and calamari) which was incredible. Definitely be sure to save your bread to dip on the Tajine. While we were waiting for our food, the owner popped his head out to say that they had a special soup that day so we decided to try it. It was Molokhia or green soup which had shrimp in it. Everything was delicious and I’ll definitely be coming back“

“We lived in nyc for 30 years. Recently moved to DE. God only knows how much we miss the nyc culture. Nothing holds a candle to it. Thank you Aaron for such a delightful lunch today at your restaurant. Best Manhattan I’ve had in a long long time! You were so attentive and accommodating. Service the best! Thank the kitchen for the great food also! Will be back soon with our nephew and his spouse!“

“Great food and drinks! A big pricey, but worth it!“

“Some of the best seafood in the city comes from the PdF kitchen and everything else, especially the desserts, are great as well. The price lends itself to a special occasion but it’s worth stopping by even to just enjoy some great cocktails, the strong Spanish-focused wine program, or some exciting after dinner drinks. One of my favorite spots in NYC.“

“excellent, sat at bar, impressive food, look forward to returning“

“I’ve eaten here twice and even spilled a strawberry margarita & it was replaced. The staff is great the food is awesomely delicious and Jake & Gray made both visits so worth while. Thank you both! And thank you Burgers & Lobster!! 😊“

“My Husband & I Love This Spot So Much. We Come As Often As We Can Which Is A Lot. The Staff Are Very Friendly And Never Had A Bad Experience. I Will Continue To Come, Sit, Eat & Drink.“

“Ilis was highly recommended to us by a friend who is a chef, after we asked about suggestions on restaurants in New York that truly push boundaries. It did not disappoint. While we are quite familiar with the concept of radical local sourcing and seasonal cooking organised by colder and warmer days, (yes, days not months), Ilis still managed to surprise us. We opted for the market menu, which is tailored to the ingredients available on that very day, and were treated to an additional dish. Each course was impeccably well prepared and presented effortlessly, and fun! The natural taste of the ingredients was allowed to shine, offering the rare opportunity to unspoil your palate and rediscover how herbs, vegetables, and meat/fish taste on their own, when not suffocated in fat, sugar, and spices. This, we believe, is the key to the success of Ilis and its chef Mads Refslund: being able to keep the dishes almost naked while never loosing the culinary direction. An absolute standout was the extra dish: raw tuna scraped from the dorsal fin spine, followed by the other side grilled with sesame. It was nothing short of a feast! Another memorable feature is Ilis' book of ingredients, which you can browse through between courses. It offers insight into their sourcing, philosophy, food preferences, and quirks (giggle). Lastly, the open kitchen is from another orbit, with its wood-fired charcoal oven, open barbecues, and dedicated adjacent fish and meat smoking stations. We could rave on and on about it. Very special place, which easily deserves six stars.“

“We ordered the corn fritters and lunch entres. We got appetizers from ordering the lunch menu, and got vegetable soup and spring rolls. Everything was very yummy, the corn fritters are crispy and delicious. The pad thai, pad see ew was good. Thank you!! Will come back again“

“Fabulous dinner with family. It was a beautiful restaurant with great food and staff. It was quite busy so it was by no means quiet but it was still A very pleasant experience. Would Highly recommend for a great steak or their chicken parmigiana was also amazing.“

“We loved the restaurant, all the staff were very friendly, they helped us choose the best from their menu, the food is delicious, pleasant atmosphere, the best option we made to start our first day in NY. (It's Halloween, they gave our baby candy and a teddy bear).“

“Amazing food and service!“

“service and food was amazing“

“Tavern 157 is an absolute gem! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a cozy ambiance that perfectly balanced charm and sophistication.

Every dish was great. The attention to detail in both presentation and taste was evident. Pair that with their impressive drink selection--especially their sangria--and you have an evening to remember.

The service was top-notch as well. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and made fantastic recommendations. They made us feel like we were the only table in the house, even though the place was buzzing.

Tavern 157 is the perfect spot for a date night, a catch-up with friends, or just indulging in amazing food. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu. A true five-star experience!“

“Sea Pearl never disappoints! The ambiance is cozy yet elegant, and the food is always on point.“

“Nice atmosphere, very professional and friendly staff. Best caviar and great gourmet food selections.“

“Fantastic place, super excellent attention from Felipe, the manager and the waitress Juliana. I loved the place, the atmosphere and the food. This place is a 10/10! If you are looking for a good atmosphere in Long Island City this is the perfect place.“

“Came here on a whim and so glad we did. I’m from Louisiana so always a little hesitant to order seafood from places but Chubby Crab knows what’s up. The fish was awesome, great seasoning, great batter. Service is outstanding too. Checked on us twice and even helped when cleaning up. Also love the music choice and decorations. Great vibes all around. Best wishes, and we will be back each time we visit nyc.“

“Wow!!! Very impressive, everything fresh, delicious & huge servings. I had chicken tenders, my mom had fried shrimp ,we both had with sweet potato fries that had a slight syrupy taste which were amazing, we got hush puppies and calamari to split..both great..we ate and still have plenty left for a full meal.. also have a seperate full bar, frozen drinks, tv's etc service was also great ..I definitely recommend ...oh and great prices“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“Quite expensive but decent food. Service is wonderful!! Our waiters were friendly, attentive, and makes you feel welcome right away. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite measure up.

The mushroom pasta is tasty but too oily, making it feel heavy. The focaccia and lamb chops are good and well-cooked, but they’re not impressive enough to justify the high prices. The fries and cheese balls? Not worth it and better skipped.

Overall, the food is decent but overpriced. The excellent service makes a visit worthwhile, but I don't think I'd go back often.“

“Amazing lobster snd crab rolls! So authentic….Makes you think you can smell the sea air!“

“Very Fresh and amazing service and atmosphere.“

“Rebecca's is one of the best servers I've ever seen.“

“worth every penny. The food was good, service was great, the staff from the greeter to the wait staff were very good. Augusta,Ga will be back!“

“Service was fantastic - highly attentive to the smallest details. Great food - recommended 👍👍“

“I’ve been here a few times and love it more and more with each visit! The seafood is so fresh and tasty and I’m happy to support a business committed to sustainable seafood sourcing. The service is also superb. The outside dining is perfect on a summer evening and the high tops provide a low key intimate setting.“

“If i could rate Fabrika 100 stars, I would! Im completely OBSESSED. Not only is the decor very cute, the food is exceptional. The service is fantastic!!! The drinks are creative and well crafted. The arepas with steak was mind blowing, SO GOOD! The crispy rice was a 20/10! The filet mignon and lobster pasta were cooked to perfection and so flavorful! The dessert was different but incredible! I would eat here everyday if I could
