50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Saint James

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

“This place is solid. The food is excellent all the time regardless of take-out, delivery, or dine in. Staff is professional and friendly and they always get the order exactly right. We've tried other places and they just don't compare!“

“My go to restaurant for decades with excellent food and superlative service. The ONLY downside is that the musician is rather loud. Other than that, everything is perfect. Cannot say enough about the owner and the wait staff - they take hospitality to an entirely new level !!“

“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!“

“Catch Oyster Bar hits that sweet spot — cozy, unpretentious, and always buzzing with good energy. Their martinis are dangerously good, the fries are perfection, and the blackened tuna wrap? Fresh, bold, and downright addictive.

It’s the kind of spot that wins over everyone — from the preppy Williamsburg crowd to the shee-shee Hamptonites. Easygoing vibe, great food, and a bar that knows what it’s doing.

Highly recommended — one of those rare places that feels like both a local favorite and a weekend escape. GO!“

“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.“

“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 😎☀️“

“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.“

“The atmosphere was great, food was amazing. But the icing on the cake was the staff we had Torrie as our professional service person and her support staff were unbelievable she was on point with everything my wife and I want and had great suggestions on we may like she hit it out of the park. Thank you.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“I love this place! Enjoy it!“

“My friends and I really enjoyed our delicious meals at this gem of a restaurant. Service was excellent. The Korean fried cauliflower appetizer is wonderful! The filet mignon was top-notch. The bowties with seafood special was outrageous! Desserts were absolutely fantastic. We will be back!“

“My husband gets Too Good to Go from you guys weekly. I had to leave and review and say that the BBQ Chicken Slice is amazinggggggggggg. Absolutely amazing. Everything from you guys is great, but this slice is on another level! 🤌🏻😚💕“

“The veggie was loaded!

The owner(s) know what they're doing. Dunno if they are chain, but they will make a Bronx-win if they replace the (bland) cheese.

Better service than most *****“

“Small little pupuseria, the pupusas are delicious, great sauce and Cole slaw, they come hot, they are perfectly cooked, and their eggs and egg sandwiches are great as well. The food is clean, delicious, and the pupusas are quite authentic. whenever I have gone there, most of the customers are Spanish speaking and that gives me confidence in their authenticity. The people that work the counter are very friendly, accommodating, and they speak Spanish and English perfectly. The have ready made food and counter service but the kitchen food is cooked upon order. perfect place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.“

Looking forwards to eating here again soon!“

The downstairs and our group upstairs. She was very pleasant, professional, and did a great job handling everything herself. The food was so good. There are so many food options on the menu, it caters to everyone's tastes. Definitely recommend going there and we will definitely go back. Looking forward to it!!“

“Had the pleasure of eating at the Greenport location. Two of my HS girlfriends and myself on moderately busy on Sunday (1012/24) at about 5:30. A young waiter named Brian was our server. We first ordered drinks, mine was the margarita with the pomegranate swirl. So delicious!! Refreshing and frosty! We shared the Mexican Street corn and the three dips with chips, which were freshly made. So fabulous! So tasty. The salsa, guacamole and queso were just perfect, each different but delicious!! The corn was sweet and flavorful. I had three tacos in hard shells. Fried chicken, fried shrimp and the marinated steak. Each one was different and very fresh. My one friend, is a vegetarian and the other is gluten intolerant BUT! They each found many yummy choices! I’ve been trying to get to this restaurant for several years, and finally the planets aligned! Brian was well trained, patient and informative with a good humor. The interior is bright, festive and clean. So much food, I could not finish all of it. And!! the restroom was clean! You should be very proud of this business! We will be back! Thank you!!“

“We had an engagement party here recently. Other than a few hiccups that happened, like the passed hors d'oeuvre ended at an hour when we were told it would go on until people stopped taking them, everth8ng else was well done. Food was good and the room was perfect for the 110 people we had there. Overall a nice place to have a function.“

“Amazing service we had a Birthday Dinner celebration for the Patriarch of the Family and I don’t have words to describe the attention and enjoyable service we had! The food was delicious ! Thank you for coming to our area we are an Italian Peruvian Family and recommend to everyone to give a try . ???“

“Had a great experience here last night. The food was cooked perfectly. Enjoyed some of the best baked clams I’ve ever had. The drinks looked very creative as well. The skirt steak was tender and marinated in a delicious marinade. The service was helpful but it wasn’t a rushed experience by any means. The patio is dog friendly as well. I will be back!“

“Last Wednesday I was at Davis vision works and we walk to the restaurant for lunch whem we get the we were standing up for almost 15 minutes waiting for someone to give us a table. finally whem someone come to us and without asking if we need a table rigth away he say is was 15 mint wait, me while the restaurant wasn't even packed it was a lot of table empty and even like that he was going to make us to wait more. really bad service and rude attention. we have money to pay it wasn't like we were asking for a free table. people are really racist at this place. I don't recommend“
