50 Best Seafood Restaurants near North Merrick

“I been here twice already for dinner. The chef and host very friendly. Food is delicious, vegetables and fish cooked perfectly grilled or fried. Stuffed calamari A plus. This place is small and has a nice bodega feel to it. Hope it stays that way. Feels like a hidden secret gem.“

“I must have passed Galleria Pizzeria a 100 times. Finally went in. Only had apps but they were all delicious. Had the stuffed artichoke and the chicken scarp wings. The wings were prob the best I have had. Loved the sauce they were in. They had a veal chop special tonight pounded thin on the bone with vodka sauce or red sauce. Looked awesome. Artichoke also excellent. Nice and garlicky !“

“I took my wife there for our anniversary and it was great. We wanted someplace different and charming. They greeted us by name and wished us a happy anniversary. When the waitress came to the table she brought us two small glasses of champagne and again wished us well. The food was excellent and the waitress was the best. We totally recomend the place.“

“Everything was delicious as usual! Grace was our server, she was excellent, Thai Calamari was amazing as well as the Caesar salad, lamb chops, shrimp and surf and turf dinner. Omg almost forgot the garlic bread. We will definitely be back soon. Traveling from Queens definitely worth the trip!!!“

“Great birthday celebration with great food and a great atmosphere. Loved the hush puppies and coconut shrimp for appetizers. Everyone loved their dinners. Highly recommend the Queen’s Boil and the Seafood Boil. If you like dancing in your seat, this is the place for you. Great music had us moving the entire time. Our server Nicky was awesome! Very personable, friendly, and attentive. He was always there to check in on us. We will definitely be back!!!!“

“Saturday evening dinner without a reservation. Walking in, my eyes immediately gravitated to the pictures of the owners and the many celebrities that have eaten and visited there before. The bar area is very nice and large, with TVs playing sports and news. We were greeted, welcomed and seated immediately. The dining area is very large and decorous. The tables large enough to sit us all. My cousin-in-law and his family frequent the restaurant and he practically knows everyone there, so as we sat, we were introduced to the owners and pretty much about a half dozen waiters and other staff members. All were extremely friendly and welcoming. As expected with all family style restaurants, the tables are very close to one another but positioned in a way that still allowed for ample space for you to move and sit comfortably. When we sat, there were hardly any people there, but within an hour it was full of patrons and large families. It was loud, but manageable. The food was unbelievably delicious. I haven't had true traditional family style Italian food in a long time. From the Fried Calamari and cold antipasto appetizers, to our Veal Parmigiana, Penne allá Vodka with Shrimp and prosciutto entrees. Paired with a Cabernet Sauvignon Palermo Napa, I truly enjoyed my meal. I haven't enjoyed food this good in a long time. My girls shared a huge plate of Chicken fingers and fries, and they loved it. I highly recommend anyone who's in the area to dine here. You won't regret it. Thank you for a great meal and patronage.“

“This restaurant is the greatest. The owner and he husband are extremely nice and their food is excellent. Our 2 year old always enjoys the food herself. They have an extensive menu and the dishes are made fresh after you order. The appetizers such as the baby octopus and shrimp wrapped in bacon are on another level. The picaña is also amazing. Most people who are there are regulars. Very relaxing atmosphere as well.“

“Hi I don't usually don't do reviews but I had a surprise birthday party for my wife on 3/23 of a party of 20 people and from the beginning dealing with and planning with EVA she went up and above my expectations walking me threw everything from beginning to end I can't say enough of her and Barbara and just wanted to thank Barbara our server handled all of us with no issues at all and all of the staff who helped with everything from Eva, Barbara and would give both of them 10 stars and more and food was absolutely exquisite“

“My brother moved by this spot like a month ago and I know this place OH SO WELL. ? I’m in Freeport and I haven’t found empanadas as good as Mamma Gina’s. When I tell you the food just hits every time, they’re honestly so consistently great.Parking: It’s a small lot, so just take it slow turning into it.“

“Arrived for happy hour so we tried everything. Calamari was tender, with a generous portion. Risotto balls were light and crispy- so good! Our servers Angela and Nicole, and especially the effervescent Grace made us feel right at home. We will be back!“

“Came here to eat dinner and decided to go with the salmon. It was served with salad and mash potatoes. I tried to substitute the potatoes with another side, but it was NOT allowed. All dishes are as is, and you CANNOT substitute anything according to the server. The salmon was cooked and seasoned well. There is a bar available by the front entrance.In addition, the receipt does not include tip information such as the majority of other restaurants. That was quite refreshing. Although I still tip, it just didn't feel forced.Parking: Street parking is available by the restaurant. There is a parking area close by as well.“

“Celebrated son's Birthday...was looking for a special experience. French Onion Soup, Clams Casino, Filet Mignon, and Stuffed Pork Chop plus two scrumptious unique deserts hit the mark. I recommend Chadwick's if you are looking for what was only available in Manhattan. Delicious food, and professional staff who knows how to make the customer feel appreciated.“

“If you are looking for amazing Jamaican food AND outstanding customer service, look no further! The owner only sells quality food and it is a family owned business. Amoya (hope I spelled it right) is mostly there serving the food whenever I go and she is an absolute pleasure to interact with. I can honestly say they serve their food with LOVE and GRACE. Money spent here is money well spent.“

“Food and service was exceptionally good as always. I had requested a table in a particular section of the restaurant and they were able to accommodate. The waitress was very attentive and pleasant, as were the rest of the staff, altogether making it an overall successful experience“

“I remember from years ago that the soft shell crab was good, I don't remember what else made me bookmark this place to return. My partner loves his branzino fish. I had the skirt steak, it was tender, flavor was decent. The service was top notch. I will be back.“

“Our family comes here frequently because you can't go wrong with the food, drinks or service. Their mac n'cheese is my kids favorite and it's often hard for my husband and I to decide what to eat because everything is just so, so good.Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating to families“

“We went to celebrate my wife's birthday. We had a quiet booth where we could converse at normal level. The selections on the menu were extensive and the steaks we ordered were cooked as requested. All the items were very delicious. Since it was a special occasion they also provided my wife with a complimentary dessert to celebrate which I thought was a nice touch. Definitely a place to which we will return.“

“Always love dining at Copperhill. Brunch is an excellent time to go for great food at a reasonable price. Love the atmosphere, food & service. We had the Chicken Milanese, Salmon Board, French Toast & Pancakes. All were great. Have also been previously for dinner, which is also excellent.“

“Today was my annual birthday dinner with my family and my little brother. It's both our birthdays so we get to choose where we want to go out to eat with all of us. So I had decided that we should try the New Restaurant Voodoo Crab in Massapequa and let me tell you, it was definitely better than I expected. The food was good, definitely reminds me of hook and reel up in Hicksville or sexy crab in Levittown… Food is definitely comparable and was very good. But What made this experience AMAZING was the impeccable customer service that we received! Lilliana was our waitress and she was wonderful to say the least… If I can give a 10 star rating for service, I would've given them a higher star. But the best part was the owner of the restaurant coming around to make sure everything was well with us. He definitely went above and beyond making sure that we were completely satisfied. And besides singing the regular, happy birthday to us, they surprised us with a couple of free desserts because of our birthdays. Not sure if that's a normal practice but I'd have to save out of the three restaurants mentioned, Voodoo Crab is now my absolute favorite because of the service! If you're looking for a great atmosphere, with great food, very fair pricing, and the best service I've had in a long time… I would highly recommend Voodoo Crab to you! The helpings are definitely bigger than I expected because of the price… Which is a good thing... excellent thing actually… and just overall what a great evening with the family Liliana thank you for making my birthday dinner such a great experience and so much fun, you went above and beyond and Bruce. Thank you for making my birthday just extra special tonight… What a great closing to my birthday weekend! Your restaurant is one of my absolute favorites now! Thank you guys for everything you made this year's birthday 100% aMAZING!“

“We have been coming here since the late '80s and it is still our favorite seafood restaurant on the island (The steaks are excellent too). The staff is always very helpful and the service is consistently excellent. Highly recommended; you won't be sorry you came here.“

“From the moment we arrived, the parking was convenient and close to the entrance. Upon opening the door, there was a beautiful Easter display. We went there for Easter/my mom's 65th birthday, they had no problem serving us the outside cake we brought, at no extra charge. All the staff were extremely friendly. High recommend! It was a great experience.“

“This is our new favorite restaurant. From the time we arrived to when we left, the service was over the top. They had live music which was excellent! There were 8 of us there and everyone loved their dish and the apps. Can't wait to come back.“

“Never a bad meal! My favorite place to order clams on the half shell! They come out ice cold, the perfect size topneck, and just so fresh! I love the chicken panzanella with grilled chicken. You’re sure to leave with a bag for lunch! And share dessert- the crème brûlée is another fave!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Villa Milano, and let me tell you, it was an experience to remember! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that instantly made me feel like family. The crew at Villa Milano is truly exceptional - attentive, friendly, and always ready with a smile.Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the pizza. Oh my goodness, where do I even begin? The pizza at Villa Milano is nothing short of spectacular. Each bite is a symphony of flavors, with a perfect balance of sauce, cheese, and toppings atop a delectably crispy crust. Whether you're a fan of classic combinations or craving something a bit more adventurous, Villa Milano has something for everyone. Trust me when I say, you won't be able to resist going back for seconds (and thirds)!But what truly sets Villa Milano apart is the atmosphere. It's not just a restaurant; it's a place where memories are made and friendships are forged over mouthwatering slices of pizza. Whether you're dining in with friends or grabbing a takeaway, you'll always leave Villa Milano with a smile on your face and a satisfied stomach.In summary, if you're in the mood for delicious pizza served with a side of warmth and hospitality, look no further than Villa Milano. It's a true gem in the world of pizza restaurants, and I can't wait to go back for another slice of perfection.“

“Love going to Bigelows i’m sitting at the bar the experience is great watching the staff freshly batter seafood and putting it right in the fryer right in front of you. The New England clam chowder is like no other. It is very delicious and creamy the perfect consistency for clam chowder. Definitely the best around the Ipswich fried clams are my go to favorite. They are fried to perfection and very clean oil which makes the food very good because the oil is always clean that they cook in. The people that work at Bigelow’s are great. Always welcoming and fun to hang out with by the bar while you eat your delicious seafood, no matter what you get I highly recommend coming here if you are in the area and you love seafood, you will not get any fresher!! Always leave happy and full from delicious FRESH seafood!!! 10/10“

“Fukee, and their Staff make for a great Sushi experience. They are super friendly, and keep their restaurant very clean. The food is great, from the dressing on the salad to the Hamachi Kama, the rolls are the proper size with quality fish and can be customized to your liking - they remember me and make sure my rolls are seed free and cut into 8 Pieces - Thank you May!! I highly recommend trying them out, esp for the lunch special as its an easy way to try their food for less money then a dinner, find what you like and then go in for a nice dinner with friends as they can accommodate larger groups and have a great bar too.“

“I was at the restaurant with a large party and was so impressed with everything from the food, to the staff, they went above and beyond, we’re so gracious and so polite and just wonderful, I am just so happy with everyone there and I think they all deserve a raise ha ha but seriously what a wonderful wonderful staff and food, everything was wonderful, thank you!“

“I have been coming here for years now.... They never disappoint food is always on point and delicious, drinks are great, staff if great, owner is awesome lets talk about deserts....well again this place never disappoints I highly recommend it!!!!!!!“

“I enjoyed my experience there. Food was good, so was service. The price was right. I understand why they charge for uneaten food, it duscourages people from wasting. My wife and i shared several items without issue. My only issue was being expected to tip on top of the 15% gratuity that is automatically added to the bill. Other than that I'm satisfied. I will go back in foreseeable future. Also the mango martinis was hittin.“

“We have been coming here for over half a year and it’s our go to spot for sushi. It’s the only place outside of Manhattan where we can get fish that doesn’t cause my skin to react. The quality and preparation is ways above the local sushi joints.“

“Excellent fish store. Always busy, always very friendly and patient, always a sufficient number of workers. All types of fish prepared and sliced according to your order. There is a restaurant attached that I have never had the opportunity to experience, but it is always spotlessly clean and delicious I am sure. My go to fish store when I am in the area. Plenty of parking in their free parking lot on the side of the store.Vegetarian options: PlentyDietary restrictions: There are optionsParking: Not an issueKid-friendliness: Very friendly to allWheelchair accessibility: It is accessible“

“My twin daughters' had their Sweet 16 dinner with 20 friends. The food, the atmosphere, the service, the accomodarions....OUTSTANDING!Vegetarian options: The have plenty of vegetarian options.Kid-friendliness: The staff was so welcoming to 20 teenagers for 3 hours! The owner and staff were so very considerate to them all!“

“Great family feeling. Delicious food...owner???.Had my birthday dinner tonight....can't wait to go back!!!!Kid-friendliness: My 7 year old granddaughter Abigail loves it there. She can practice the two words she knows in Italian... Ciao Bella and loves the food“

“Tried this restaurant because it was close to the hotel we were staying at. Had the dumplings for an appetizer with the complementary bread and sauces. All were incredible, full of flavor. The lamb kabob was also delicious. The chicken kabob would've been better if it came with a sauce, but the flavor was still nice. Services was fast and friendly. Would dine here again.“

“We recently moved to Lynbrook and Gallery Four is one of our favorite restaurants for take-out. We order frequently. Our meal comes with salad and bread. Their food is delicious, fresh, and affordable. We have ordered chicken francese, lasagna, chicken parm, penne alla vodka, and garlic knots. Will continue ordering from them and trying new meals. ?“

“Been here a bunch of times. Staff is always great.. Quality is always great. Food is always fresh and hot. Cool little vibe. Will continue to be a customer. Love the quesadillas, that’s my go to. My wife loves the shrimpy taco. Fair prices for great products.“

“I just recently hosted a retirement party here for my parents, and it truly could not have been a better experience. From first contact to the day of the event, Matt was so responsive and receptive to my requests. It was a seamless and stress free planning process, which made planning a surprise party so much easier. We did cocktail style passed appetizers, which were all delicious and plentiful for our about 60 person party! The wait and bar staff was so kind and helpful as well!! Everyone had a fantastic time and my parents had a retirement party to remember! Additional bonus was how convincing the host was about bringing us to our table (grabbing 6 menus and then going to check that our table was ready), my parents were clueless that there was a party for them until the second the doors opened!“

“Lost At Sea is a cozy restaurant with a charming vibe, making it a good destination for a date. Seated at the bar, we embarked on a culinary journey that exceeded our expectations. The food was exceptional, warranting a solid five-star rating. The chef's bold approach to cooking resulted in dishes bursting with flavors that left a lasting impression on our palates. The outstanding whitefish dip was noteworthy, a true gem that elevated our dining experience to new heights.However, we hit a snag with the clarified Old Fashioned. Despite its intriguing concept, this cocktail fell short of expectations. Devoid of its quintessential bourbon essence and overwhelmed by excessive sweetness, it failed to capture the timeless allure of an Old Fashioned. The bartender attributed the sweetness to an "illusion in my brain," which perplexed me. It was a disappointing choice that left me nursing a hangover the next day.Despite this minor setback, the staff remained attentive and courteous throughout our visit, contributing to the overall warmth of the experience. GO!“

“This is just like being home & the atmosphere is very comforatble. The service & staff are extremely attentive and very pleasant, especially Robert & Cheech. The drinks & food are terrific and the dinner specials are extraordinary & delightful. We always enjoy ouselves and it makes for an easy decision to want to come back.“

“I would have given them a 5 but since they got a new person, she's been messing up my orders. Forgetting a lot of ingredients and when I asked for a little salmon with my spicy tuna, she literally put one piece of it. I always pay extra for the salmon add on but she didn't let me explain. Then when my mom wanted peanuts on her order, she put a pinch of it. I'm sorry but I don't know if I can keep going somewhere and constantly telling them what to put on when she keeps looking back at the menu and still forgets. Before her, I had no problem at all! Literally would come here at least 2-3 times a week. Also you guys should put more seasoned tuna bc I always get the number 2. They never have any left and just put the giant onion pieces which I hate.“

“Please only let your best friends know about this place!We wouldn’t want it overrun with crying babies and loud gatherings. The only thing better than the pleasant atmosphere, is the delicious food.It reminds me of dining in a small village in Europe.“

“This is our “go to “ place for years! Wonderful atmosphere and great food!We recently hosted a party for 50 people and could not have been more pleased with the service and food. The upstairs party room is beautiful and well suited for private events.“

“We love Butera's and have had countless dinners at the restaurants and for delivery. The food is GREAT and we love the atmosphere. Among our favorites are their chicken meatballs and zucchini linguini. They also have great salads and the best pasta on Long Island!“

“Had the bacalao fritters as an appetizer. They had small shards of bone in them. We each pulled bones out of our mouths. My friend ordered the cod named after restaurant. Had bones. No where in menu does it tell you that their plate is BONE IN. Made meal unpleasant.I had lamb chops. I must say they were thinnest lamb chops ever anywhere. Usually they’re 3 double chops in every place I’ve had them. Here they’re 4 single chops so thin you can’t get them medium rare as I ordered. I’d say go but ask lots of questions.“

“Awesome food! Awesome drinks! Great service. Best mojitos and I complain about every place that makes my mojitos. They make them perfectly here every time. The wasabi chips are a wonderful surprise. Lovely ambiance. Definitely try the shrimp pops and sushi platter. We have been there several times and everything is delicious. The General Tso's chicken is slightly spicy and juicy. The dim sum sampler is a great introduction to figuring out what you like. The fried rice with bone marrow was definitely something unique to try. If you are looking for a great dining experience you have to try this place out.“

“Came here to eat with the family and we had an awesome experience. The service was amazing! I didn’t get her name but our server was very attentive and hilarious. We all ordered a variety of food like arroz chaufa, salchipapa, jalea mixto and we were 100% satisfied. Definitely worth going back to !“

“I had the Duck Pad See Ew now these noodles remind me of drunken noodle so if you like that then you will love this dish! The duck was succulent and crispy on the outside cooked to perfection wow! The food was tasty but not salty and greasy like other Thai places I have tried recently. The chef is top notch and knows what she is doing for real just the right balance of flavor and taste in every single bite. Next up I had the appetizer the main event the "Zaab" Spicy Chicken Wings. I've never had chicken wings with this particular flavor or seasoning before so this was new territory for me. No need to worry though as you're in good hands like All State with this chef she is no joke and has clearly put in her 10,000 hours and then some respectfully. It was a dry rub fried chicken wing with spicy chili flakes or chili powder rubbed underneath and/or on top of the wing itself which was fried and coated to perfection I was impressed thoroughly to say the least. This was the sleeper and highlight our orders. We also ordered last but not least the chicken pad Thai which was flavorful and the ingredients were super fresh and tasty. I highly recommend this place can't say it enough five stars is a minimum! By the way and oh yes please try the Thai Iced Tea and Coconut Water for good measure to wash down your meal. Run don't walk to try out this new gem in the neighborhood and tell them Blanco sent you lol! Tell a friend to tell a friend it's them again yummy!“

“I really like Ben's Crab I come here often on Sunday afternoons for the food company and of course the music with Kirk Bailey and the next level band. They are Awesome!!! Go and check them out. This is for 40,50+ crowd!! The food at Ben's will not disappoint. We have had their soup, fried shrimp, catfish, wings and the snow crab and lobster tail broil. Everything is always fresh and well seasoned. The bartender I forgot her name but she makes great drinks. I've gone up to her to let her know how much I've enjoyed my drinks! Usually 2 is my limit due to driving but if my husband is there then a third is in order The staff are all pleasant and they are constantly cleaning and clearing your table I like that and it's not that they are rushing you no no no it's makes for a nice neat table and room for more. Hey it's Sunday and I don't go home to cook The bathrooms are clean and smell good and the restaurant itself does NOT have a fishy smell I enjoy coming listening to Kirk Bailey and meeting familiar and new people KC Over all 5 stars from me“

“Always love going here! The ambience is welcoming, and the service is exceptional. We went with two of our friends, and sat at a lovely table in the corner upstairs. The lighting and the atmosphere was excellent, and conducive to great conversation. The baked brie and Braz short ribs are always my faves and did not disappoint!  our waiter was excellent, and attentive. Can't wait to come back!“

“Good place to eat not to expensive for the people who like good tacos very clean courteous friendly good spod to hand out with the family and friends food is awesome ? ? I'll recommend you the spod go and try it you will not regret it .Vegetarian options: Yes they will make what ever you want.Dietary restrictions: Yes good selectionKid-friendliness: Good selection“
