50 Best Seafood Restaurants in New York

“Excellent and comfortable affordable“

“One of New York’s hidden secrets. Not to be missed.“

“This establishment is everything! From the time I entered the service was impeccable. I had the seared Bass w/Copolini and the Crab Spring Rolls. 5 stars, a must when in NYC.“

“One of the best steaks I’ve ever had! I got the New York strip, medium, and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Special thanks to Ylem for taking such great care of us and making the whole experience even better!“

“Last night We came to eat at Mission Ceviche for the first time and we left very happy for the incredible quality of food and service. 100% recommended with a tremendous desire to return soon. Good service and everyone very friendly I had a very wonderful birthday.“

“The autumn salad was amazing!!“

“Happy hour chef's choice oysters and the rainbow ceviche were delish—especially the ceviche with the passion fruit miso sauce! Parker rolls were mediocre. Hush puppies were yummy with a lil spice to them. Aperol spritz= refreshing. Our server Stacey was great!“

“Food and drinks were absolutely delicious and the staff was lovely! So patient and attentive, would definitely go back again.“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“Too bad there aren’t more stars to click on. As a Sicilian/Italian every time I go to an Italian restaurant I have to always settle for the close enough. Not this time at Piccola Cucina Estiatorio, 71 Thompson Street NYC. After seeing their extremely authentic Sicilian menu online I knew that it had to be the real thing. After easily reserving a table online we showed up with yes our hopes being very high. For the first time the food was everything I had hoped for. 1. Arancini: nicely crunchy and flavored. Not oily or old at all. 2. Grilled veggies: although simply presented they were really tasty and fresh. 3. Involtini: out of this world. Exactly made like in my town in Sicily. A Moist, tender, flavored with some really tasty mozzarella cheese, served on a nice bed of caponata. 4. Maccheroni alla Norma: finally my very favorite dish. I almost cried. Besides a fantastic pasta, rigorously cooked al dente, there was a more than generous amount of diced eggplant, obviously, with basil leaves, olive oil and everything the Mediterranean has so generously given to Sicily for thousands of years. It’s worth mentioning the more than welcome grated “ricotta salata” as a testimony to the high attention to detail of Chef Gioele. That was a dinner I will not easily forget. The last thing I want to say is that, according to the highly professional and attentive staff, almost every single ingredient in this restaurant is flown directly from Sicily including the very tasty cannoli filled with ricotta cheese. (The cheese flies frozen during shipping). Sorry for the long review. I only wanted to show my super happiness with this restaurant. ANGELO.“

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

“Amazing Dining Experience, Delicious Food, Private space with lovely Staff!!!“

“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 experience everything was perfect 😍“

“Very Fresh and amazing service and atmosphere.“

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

“Most amazing seafood. Go for happy hour. Get all the oysters. The lobster pasta made my husband weak in the knees. He won't stop talking about the olive brine Bloody Mary. THE BEST.“

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

“Great food - better service. Mason was absolutely wonderful. He helped walked us through the special dishes and his favorites, all of which we tried and were not disappointed. The shrimp parm is an absolute must - as well as the clam pasta. It’s quite different from any other clam pasta I’ve ever had but in a delectable way. The iceberg wedge salad was also delicious. Overall, great experience.“

“The best Korean cold noodle in Manhattan—and maybe all of NYC! They’re Pyongyang-style cold noodles served in a mild, delicate broth. The noodles have a high buckwheat content. I would rank them alongside some of the top-tier, authentic cold noodle houses in South Korea. A little more generous amount of garnish would be great, though.

Hwangtae hot noodles come in a clean, delicate, yet flavorful broth, finished with fresh perilla oil. I could tell high-quality ingredients (pollock and perilla oil) were used.

I truly enjoyed them. The sides and appetizers were high quality as well. I would visit this place again.“

“Food and service was excellent. Service was out of this world. Can't wait to go again“

“They just revamped their menu and I’m all here for it! My favorites were the rice noodle rolls wrapped with tofu, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, carrots and preserved radish, Thai beef stew and the Panang short ribs. The beef stew was SO tender and collagen rich, literally every bite was melt in your mouth. Short ribs, also as expected, tender and flavorful. The Thai ice cream was a perfect finish - sweet toppings, cold coconut ice cream, warm pandan sticky rice - all different flavors and textures but all work together in harmony.“

“Loved this place!!! Highly recommended!!!!“

“Had gone for an early evening catch-up meeting with a friend. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Great selection of wines and even better was the 'art of recommending' the right wine. We accomobied the wine and discussions with Sushil unrolled and Chicory salad, both tastes great and were the right size for 2.
Place has a certain energy about it that add to having great conversations at the restaurant.“

“dog friendly and the food is very good“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“Great happy hour ($13 for 6 oysters and a beer, option for a small upcharge for wine instead) and rotates which oysters are available for the deal. All appetizers were also great and I’d heartily recommend the marlin crudo! Everything was delicious and the staff was efficient and offered insight into differences/preferences. Would absolutely return!“

“Beautifully prepared delicious food!!“

“Super fresh food and top quality service. Thank you.“

“Kann ich nur empfehlen, in Service, Preis und Geschmack nahezu unschlagbar! Seiten so gut in NYC gegessen, sei es Seafood oder auch Anderes. Bei uns waren es: Appetizer: Spanish Octopus Entrée: Bone-In NY Strip Dessert: NY Cheesecake P.s.: Es gibt auch vegetarische Gerichte.“

“We hadn't been to Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare in a while, and the staff remembered what we ordered last time. That tells you about the level of service and the management behind it, not just the food.

Marc and Max are cooking at a level that earns every star — fifteen courses and the execution never slipped once. The Hokkaido uni with king crab and geoduck was my favorite bite of the night. And the dessert was to die for — not one but two, the tropical refresher and then the Fujisan bread with soy caramel and Japanese whiskey. Leave some room. This is what a Michelin restaurant is supposed to feel like.“

“Atmosphere, amazing! Food, top! Jeffrey, BRAVISSIMO!“

“service and food was amazing“

“Great greek food, very Tasty“

“"Outstanding food and presentation. The service was fantastic, especially from the hostess“

“Loved this place, coming back to NYC just for this restaurant!“

“After eating so much (pizza etc )we needed to eat something different, spicy and booked this gem,as it as near to our hotel. It was also our 40th wedding anniversary. We are from U.K. This was amazing perfectly cooked tasty home made authentic Indian cuisine. We had mocktails ( lavender was refreshing ). The tandoori lamb chops x4 were full meat seasoned beautifully and delicious. All other sides perfect too. Now in U.K. we hate restaurant Indian puddings they are usually bought in and awful/failure. After finding out the chef is the owner and a recipient Michelin star we were convinced to stay,try and this was the first time we have had authentic home made puddings; try Kulfi with rose water & also Indian rice pudding. The whole meal was exceptional great value and we will recommend this restaurant to anyone else visiting New York. Easy to find off Times Square /Broadway. Thanks for the rendition “ congratulations “ for our 40th. You are great ! A little gem of authenticity in big New York !“

“Nice location and friendly staff, reasonable menu“

“Great dinner, great setting, excellent service 👌“

“Everything was amazing from service to decor to food and drinks. Highly recommend!“

“Being out-of-towners, we had not heard about this place and rather stumbled upon it at the perfect time, when serendipity met hunger. What a place. Elegant without being overstated in the slightest, scrumptious food and great wine options. Impeccable service. Yes, it is expensive but I have been to higher priced places that left me wanting. Not Milos. Will be from now on, a must on every visit to NY.“

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

“It was an amazing experience that I give 5 ⭐️’s The menu was innovative and interesting and I love that the chef guides all the courses that come out of the kitchen. Being sea to table ensures the highest quality food and the technique from chef Daniel shines through in every dish. I will definitely be back!“

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

“What an amazing dining experience. The food and service are well deserving of a Michelin Starred restaurant. We were treated like honored guests and each course was more amazing then the last. The wines paried perfectly with our meal as well. The chefs were affable and happily answered all our questions about the amazing works of art placed in front of us. I cannot wait to go back to Noksu in the future.“

“Had a great birthday experience at Aquarelle with my friends!
I come to this restaurant often and the dinner is always phenomenal, the owners are also friendly.
Consistency is key and the staff always make sure we have great service. The presentation of the food is beautiful and I will definitely be back!“

“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!! 😊“

“Amazing staff. Amazing Thai Food.“

“Enjoyed my experience there on Monday night.. The shrimp, codfish and battered fries were good.“

“Excellent as always. One of the best steakhouses in NYC. Pro tip - if it’s just two, sit in the cozy front corner of the bar in the speakeasy below for you meal and def order the twice baked and the creamed spinach“
