50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Lake Grove

“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!!!“

“We were the first diners for a 4:00 reservation. The staff was friendly and sat us right away. Our server was awesome, her name is Courage. She was friendly, knowledgeable and so nice. Both of our dinners were delicious. We will definitely return!“

“We have never had a bad experience at VooDoo Crab so we decided to place a catering order for Christmas. They did not disappoint. The food was just as amazing. Customer service was exceptional from the time we placed it to pick up. We were very happy we tried them for our catering needs!“

“The service was friendly, fast and efficient. We shared 2 types of oysters that were extremely fresh and very tasty. I opted for the soft shell crab sandwich and without a doubt the BEST I've ever had. This restaurant is a little far off from where I live BUT I, without a doubt, will be visiting again. My group and I were not disappointed!!!“

“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!“

“First time there tonight for a birthday dinner. WOW is an understatement. Sat outside with a beautiful sunset view. We had the short rib special, the sea bass and the swordfish entrees and they were delicious! The mussels in white sauce to start and the (clearly) homemade peanut butter and chocolate & carrot cake desserts were phenomenal. Our waitress Jaimie was the BEST-so sweet and welcoming-all of her recommendations from cocktails to entrees to dessert were spot on. We can’t wait to come back!“

“I can not believe that this restaurant has been here on Main Street in Port Jefferson Village for over 20 years and I never ate there!!! This is my new Favorite place to eat. The food was exceptional and good size portions. The pita bread they put out on the table was so delicious I could have made that my meal. The service was extremely attentive and so personable. The Owner came around greeting everyone and made us feel like we were all family having dinner together. I am looking forward to my next visit.“

“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!“

“Let the outdoor dining begin @ the Harbor Crab! Delicious Mussels Fra Diavolo and Twin lobster tails. I hade the Watermelon Margarita definitely give it a try loved it perfect for this Sunny Sunday 😎☀️“

“Nice experience, I can say that this was a pleasurable experience!“

“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 ❤️“

“Enjoy every time we go delicious“

“#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.“

Thank you.“

“….….Best place on earth………“

“Had the pleasure of choosing Tara Inn for lunch today, every establishment can learn a lesson from the customer service that my friend and I experienced. Upon walking in we were greeted by Peter, Tara’s husband and son-in-law of the founder who named the bar for his daughter 47 years ago. We told him it was our first visit and he offered us seats and welcomed us. The regulars at the bar guided us through the menu and we each had a burger with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles for $1 per burger expecting very small burgers we were surprised to find them standard sized and deliciously prepared to medium. My friend had the fried shrimp and I had a $13 steamed lobster! Excellent! They offer daily specials and one of the gentleman at the bar told me their steaks are very good. Every staff person went out of their way to make us feel at home. A charismatic women came out from the back and introduced herself as Tara she thanked us for choosing to lunch there. Why can’t other places realize the importance of making a first time patron feel welcome. I
Had a great afternoon enjoying the excellent variety of beers that they provide on tap. The charming decor has probably changed little since the ‘70s and that adds to the vibe. If you want to go to the friendliest bar on Long Island, head over to Tara Inn.“

“Picked up Three pies two hero’s the price is great. we ordered three different types deep dish. Thin. Crust and regular pie with meatballs five stars the meat balls really made the pie.“

“Band was great. I couldn't help but get up and move my feet and sing. Food and service good. Atmosphere was very comfortable. I loved that you let Rising Tide play until after closing. I had another round to just listen to the singer and the musicians. So much the laid back scene of the real Grateful dead. Acoustics needed a little balance but all in all made for an enjoyable night.“

“We have been coming to this restaurant for quite some time now. Oftentimes we order for delivery and the food comes to us in a timely fashion. They keep the busy small eat in order area and kitchen clean. They have many choices, so our mixed diets of regular and vegan have delicious items to choose from their menu.

Vegetarian options: There are vegetable choices, like broccoli and mixed veggies for example. There are various types of tofu dishes too.“

“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.“

“Wonderful place and great service!! Highly recommend it. Beautiful outdoor seating area as well. BYOB.“

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

“When it came to choosing a venue for our wedding celebration, we were looking for a fun, laid-back space with amazing food/cocktails. Bayberry was the perfect choice for us. From the start, Melissa made the planning process seamless and genuinely enjoyable. The entire staff was beyond attentive, and our guests raved about the food (mini lobster rolls 🙌🙌). Thanks Bayberry for the best day 🩵🩵“

“There celebrating my sons bday AND for getting approved right before dinner by the town for his new coffee shop on Main St ... Cement Coffee Co!! So excited! Our server was a doll, everything was delicious & prepared perfectly! The complimentary celebratory espresso martinis were such a sweet gesture! Tellers did not disappoint, per usual!!“

“Great atmosphere, music, and amazing staff!! Food is really delicious! Would definitely come here again and again. 😊💕“

“Great place to go with friends or significant other. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing. The food is fresh and delicious. Great drink selection. The service is very good. If you have not tried Virgola, you need to go!!“

“Never disappoints Great portions and staff Love the music and the atmosphere food comes out fast and hot love the decorations in the place overall a great experience“

“It was my first time there. My parents have been there before and suggested we stop for a bite! We tried about five different slices! OMG....the deep dish with pepperoni was AMAZING!! I decided to order a whole tray and take it home! We stopped by around 2:30. They didn't have any table service, so you ordered and brought it to your table. We didn't wait long for our food. The service was friendly. We will be back!! YUMMMMM“

“I have severe allergies and my nephew suggested Claws. I have to say Chris and Frank were excellent in educating me and helping me and going out of their way for me. Their seafood is fresh and delicious. I actually drive further to go to them and pass other seafood stores on my way, but they are definitely worth a trip. All of the staff is accommodating, knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful.“

“My husband and I have been eating here pretty much once a week for almost 20 years. We usually get take out and create our own in home date night. By far the freshest and most delicious sushi we’ve ever had. Period. They keep the menu very clean, as opposed to other places we’ve tried where everything is caked in sauce and all just taste the same. You will not be disappointed.
Favorites: Alan roll, Peter roll (as for extra sauce on the side), Cooper roll (not on the menu but was on their old menu. You can still ask for it) and the deep impact.“

“Miguel's is awesome! Excellent food. Everything here is great. Very cheaply priced and affordable. They even have an in-house home made cinnamon horchata drink. If you've never had it, then you're missing out big time. But if you get addicted to it don't blame me. The best Spanish food around.

Parking: Free parking lot. Shares a lot with the other few little stores in the store front over there. Easy to find parking.“

“Love Yaroa, hate driving to the city. The best Yaroa wasn’t in the city though, it’s a 15 min drive from me at bueno deli 2 🩷 just like they make them in the DR :)
Also noticed they carry a lot of Dominican products I can’t find at other stores! So glad to have found this place while door dashing“
