50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Woodhaven

“We celebrated my mother’s 60th birthday surprise dinner with 50 guests and it was a very lovely experience. Niurka upon meeting her was very sweet charismatic and ensured to answer all of our questions before booking the space. We kept in communication to make sure everything was right before the night of the dinner. The night of the dinner she made sure everything was set up before our arrival! Every person working that night was professional, friendly, attentive and efficient. The food was amazing as well. This was my first time here, and I will definitely return for another dinner night!“

“great home style peruvian food!portions were generous, food was tasty!I recommend ceviche, Parihuela(Peruvian Seafood Soup), and Corvina a lo Macho(Fish Fillet Covered by our Creamy Signature Sauce) with cusquena(peruvian beer) or pisco sour!“

“Authentic feeling Peruvian restaurant with very tasty food, good service and nice atmosphere. Mainly Peruvian patronizing which gave it an authentic and wholesome feel. Tried the Lomo Saltado which was tasty and filling. Highly recommended for a taste of Peru.“

“me gusta su comida y el cervisio es bueno“

“pues me en canto el servicio“

“Excellent service great ambiance and excellent food!“

“Excellent and comfortable affordable“

“Food was delicious! Had the Bronzino which came with the sayadeya rice. The fish was so delicious, perfectly seasoned. The unexpected star of the show was the grilled octopus which was so soft and juicy… not chewy at all and lots of flavor. Maybe the best i’ve had. Friendly Egyptians. The service and atmosphere fits the vibe, very casual spot. Food was served quickly. Will be back!“

“Mermaid, whether this location or others, has really fresh and tasty seafood. This location is very convenient being off of (not in) Times Square. I love going there for their small bites during their happy hour, which does include weekends! They have far more than oysters and I love their clam chowder, raw fish dishes like tartar, and lobster knuckles.“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

“Creative fun dishes and bev list.“

“Great experience everything was perfect 😍“

“157 Tavern has been a staple in the area for 10 years and is an excellent choice for parties or group gatherings. You can simply provide them with your budget, and they will curate the menu for you, which makes the planning process very convenient.

Regarding the food:

Grilled Spanish Octopus: Highly recommended. The potato pave is delicious, and the octopus is tender with a perfect charred exterior.

Short Rib with Bone Marrow: The meat is very tender and falls apart at the touch of a fork, though I wish the portion of bone marrow was a bit larger.

King Salmon: Quite tender.

Burrata Cheese: Standard/average.

Caramel Flan: Delicious and beautifully presented.

Overall, it is a great spot for a nice dinner.“

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

“Overall, a good meal with a few highlights and a few misses

The standout for me was the buckwheat ice cream. I expected a rough, grainy texture, but it was surprisingly smooth with a subtle buckwheat aroma. The sweetness was very restrained and only became noticeable after a few bites, which made it especially enjoyable. The mushroom rice was another favorite. The seasoning was spot on and brought out the natural flavor of the mushrooms. The combination of green onions and mushrooms also looked beautiful on the plate. The fried chicken was solid as well, tender and well cooked

The beef patty was fairly average and didn’t leave much of an impression. The vegetable tempura, unfortunately, was the weakest dish of the meal. The batter was uneven, and there seemed to be too much residual oil, making it feel quite heavy

The seating arrangement was the other downside. We were seated in a corner where 3 tables had been placed in a relatively small area, which felt a bit cramped. The experience would probably be much more enjoyable in one of the more open seating areas

Overall, some dishes were excellent, some were less memorable, but the buckwheat ice cream alone was worth trying.“

“Stopped by here for dinner and drinks with my husband on a Wednesday evening. We were seated quickly despite being walk ins. Everything was fantastic, especially the empire filet for two and the wild blueberry cocktail. Thank you Ben for your amazing service! Would definitely come back.“

“Beautifully prepared delicious food!!“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“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.“

“dog friendly and the food is very good“

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

“service and food was amazing“

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

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

“Loved the tasting menu experience! Such an active kitchen and everything tasted amazing. I also ordered the lobster pot pie from the a la carte menu and the kitchen was able to fit it in before dessert. Great dinner! The flavor profiles were really blended. Loved small aspects like the coconut snow and the ginger granita.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Happy hour (5-7), followed by dinner at Upstate New York Craft Beer & Oysters in the East Village.

It’s a tiny place; we got there at 5pm and it was packed (and loud) by 7pm.

All their fish is bought at the market every day so the menu varies.

We had the grilled tuna with wasabi mashed potatoes & bok choy and the seared diver scallops over roasted vegetables with a prosciutto butter sauce, along with a French rosé.

Everything was delicious and the service was great too. Make sure you have a reservation.“

“We came here for Valentine’s Day dinner and had a great experience overall. The food was delicious across the board, and the service was attentive and welcoming. Our only small note is that the portions felt a bit on the smaller side, but the quality and presentation were excellent.“

“The food is incredible! Casual but impeccable sums up the menu, atmosphere, and experience. Moina served us and is exceptionally pleasant and knowledgeable. This is a must when in Fort Greene!! Don’t skip the oysters, the broccoli salad, or the shrimp loaf!“

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

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

“This is a magical spot. I’ve had dinner here twice, most recently for their Sunday Supper. The food was excellent across the board — in addition to the three courses included with the meal, we had the pearled barley with burrata and the bone marrow with mashed potatoes. The three of us couldn’t agree on what we loved the most. My personal favorites were the bone marrow and the chicken soup with cilantro and lime (would pay $$$$$ for that soup the next time I’m sick).

Don’t sleep on Ilis for a light dinner and drinks. Even if you’re not doing the full tasting menu, this place offers so much for you to try that you likely won't find anywhere else. As someone who has sat at the bar many times, I’d say that the cocktails are on par with bars like Maison Premiere and Please Don't Tell (all the drinks are excellent but don’t miss the Carajillo!). And the a la carte menu offers dishes that are consistently delicious and interesting. It’s a BEAUTIFUL restaurant that’s been meticulously crafted, and everyone who works here is really knowledgeable and friendly.“

“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!! 😊“

“I went to celebrate my sister's birthday. Everything was exceptional! From the time we walked in until the time we left. My only concern was that we did not take pictures of the food, but you will have a great experience.“

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

“Friend who tried Cap’t Loui in Cape Cod highly recommended it when she saw it open in Sunnyside, Queens. Prices are good, so you don’t have to wait to treat yourself only on special occasions. The Capt’n Loui sauce boil was really good and 1 pound per person was very filling. The garlic noodles as a side was delicious, and we tried it dipped in the boil’s sauce, too. Service was spectacular. Minh Kha gave us his favorites as suggestions and cleaned up after us well. All of my favorite pop tunes were playing as well. Thoroughly enjoyed and will be back.“

“cool vibe natural wine bar. love a good natural wine bar. amazing wine all round. we got 4 glasses and they did not disappoint. their specials were fab and the entire tasting menu looks fab. would love to go back for more food. great service. happy 4 years!“

“Amazing food and service!“

“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.“

“Didn’t expect to find my best crispy pork belly of the year at a Thai spot!!! The skin was insanely crisp yet slightly chewy. The dipping sauce on the side was perfectly balanced.

For the main, we went with the panang short ribs. The beef was coated in a rich, mildly spicy curry. We added steamed veggies instead of rice and they fit curry.“

“This restaurant honestly deserves more than one Michelin star!!!!

From the beautiful interior to the stunning plating, everything was amazing—and the food tasted absolutely heavenly. Even the word “luxury” feels too small for this place.

If anyone asks me for a Michelin restaurant recommendation in New York, this would be my number one pick without hesitation. For a special day with a special person, you really don’t need to think twice about where to go.

It was the happiest birthday meal I could have asked for, and one I’ll never forget.
I’m already trying to book another reservation soon. It was even better than I expected.“

“May was amazing to us! She made sure we were well taken care of and made sure we were having a great time. 10/10 place! Will gladly return soon!“

“Just the best. Happy hour oysters and cava, amazing service, really interesting seafood with incredible flavours - shout out to the deep fried scallops (didn’t know they would be deep fried but they were amazing) and the bone broth with the tuna steak was top. It was super busy, but we got a table with no reservation, such a vibe on a sunny afternoon.“

“Went here last night and it was soooo good. We had a lovely bartender, Ernesto, who made amazing drinks. The oysters were fresh and we really enjoyed the lobster roll and pasta we had! And who doesn’t love a weekend happy hour?! Definitely worth it to check out!“

“I've been dining at Nick's since the late 90s and I have never been disappointed. The food is great, love the atmosphere, and the service is great. Our waiter was ALLAN, he is so on point, courteous, very friendly.“
