50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Independence

“Loved the martini drinks!! The best ones I've had yet, and i loved the boom boom shrimp . Our waitress was amazing at being present and answering All our questions because we were never to a bonefish grill. I will definitely go to another one when I come upon one. Just make sure if you're there between 4 - 6 ask for the social hour menu for drink/food specials“

We always had a very good gastronomic experience here at LockKeepers! Definitely coming back soon to celebrate more milestones! Thank you! Keep up the great work that you do! 👍“

“First time! Excited! Heard nothing but compliments. The restaurant had many open seats. We enter and a person of upper management looked up and punched in something and then directed the server. The server, under direction took us to the worst place in the restaurant. My prayer was that it wasn’t because we were a family of color. I tried hard to disregard the thought as we were directed to sit outside the kitchen door. :—/. I was getting away from the kitchen. That was the last place I wanted to celebrate our special occasion. I asked for a different place in the restaurant that was housing one other visible couple. She was very happy to oblige us. When a restaurant is full, I can understand…. But this was far from the case. The server was 5STAR ! Food 5STAR ! I will definitely try it again with hopes that it was a mistake on the management part. My hopes…“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I ordered the 6-piece wing dinner with a side of spaghetti and greens, plus a Polish Boy with fries, BBQ sauce, and coleslaw on top. The wings were fried to perfection — crispy and seasoned well. The spaghetti tasted fresh with a nice pasta sauce, and the greens had a good mix of flavors, definitely homemade. The Polish Boy was solid too, just could’ve used a bit more coleslaw to balance everything out.

Customer service is a work in progress, but to be fair, it looks like it’s just one guy handling everything. Respect to him for holding it down. I’ll definitely be back to try more.“

“5 star review The DAOU February Wine Dinner at Carrabba’s was nothing short of a culinary and sensory triumph. This was not simply a themed dinner. It was a carefully curated tasting journey, thoughtfully composed from first course to final pour, executed with remarkable precision and heart. The evening opened with the Strawberry Goat Cheese Crostini, a deceptively elegant starter that set the tone immediately. The whipped honey ricotta and goat cheese delivered a creamy, tangy foundation, beautifully balanced by the brightness of strawberry and the depth of balsamic glaze. The basil chiffonade added a subtle herbal lift, keeping the dish light, fresh, and refined. It was a perfectly calibrated opening note. Course two, the Tuscan Strawberry Salad with Shrimp, showcased exceptional balance and restraint. The strawberries were ripe and vibrant, offering natural sweetness against the savory depth of wood-grilled shrimp. The strawberry vinaigrette tied everything together with precision, while gorgonzola added just enough richness and complexity without overpowering the plate. Paired with the DAOU Rosé, this course was refreshingly sophisticated and brilliantly composed. The Garlic Lemon Herb Linguine with Grilled Chicken marked a beautiful transition into richer territory. The “Liquid Gold” sauce lived up to its name, coating each strand of pasta with silky depth while remaining remarkably clean on the palate. Bright citrus notes cut through the richness, and the grilled chicken was juicy, tender, and expertly seasoned. This course demonstrated technical control and thoughtful layering of flavor, elevated further by the Sauvignon Blanc pairing. The centerpiece of the evening was undoubtedly the Filet with Crab and Shrimp Crocchetta. The filet was cooked with impressive accuracy, tender and deeply flavorful, with a beautifully charred exterior. The crispy crocchetta added textural contrast and indulgent seafood richness, while the roasted red pepper sauce brought subtle sweetness and acidity. The supporting elements, garlic mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus, were executed flawlessly and grounded the dish. Paired with the DAOU Cabernet Sauvignon, this course was bold, luxurious, and immensely satisfying. Dessert, the Strawberry Sogno, was a masterful finale. Layers of dense chocolate brownie, airy mousse, and strawberry cream created a balanced interplay of richness and brightness. The presentation was elegant, and the flavors were indulgent without becoming heavy. The Pessimist Red Blend pairing amplified the cocoa notes while enhancing the fruit components, closing the experience on a high, memorable note. Throughout the evening, the pacing was impeccable. Each course arrived at exactly the right moment, allowing guests to fully appreciate every pairing and transition. The experience felt intentional, immersive, and expertly orchestrated. A special recognition goes to Laura and Crystal, whose service elevated the entire night. Their knowledge, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made the experience feel personal and seamless. They anticipated needs, explained pairings with confidence, and created an atmosphere of comfort and refinement that complemented the cuisine perfectly. This dinner delivered the sophistication of a boutique winery tasting combined with the warmth and consistency Carrabba’s is known for. For the price point, the value was extraordinary. The quality, execution, and overall experience far exceeded expectations. This was not just a great meal. It was a thoughtfully designed culinary event that demonstrated respect for ingredients, technique, and the guest experience. An outstanding achievement. I would return without hesitation.“

“I was in town for a convention and met Ms. Yvette and she recommended this place so of course we had to check it out. I ordered the shrimp po boy with Mac n cheese and hush puppies and it did not disappoint. It was absolutely delicious. Everything about it! The Mac n cheese was perfect and the hush puppies were yum! I did order the honey lemon pepper wings to go and ate them cold later that day and OMG. When I tell you these wings were on point they were ON POINT even cold. 😁And they had a little place where we took some pictures. Overall a great experience and a place I would absolutely visit again if I’m in the area. Thank you again! 💚“

“Been going here since it opened and the food is absolutely delicious and very well priced. They’re always running great promotions and will even give you freebies occasionally! It’s clean and the atmosphere is great. More importantly though, the staff here is AMAZING. Truly kind people that appreciate your business. I would give this place more stars if I could.“

“While visiting Cleveland we really wanted good seafood and this place was exactly what we were looking for! Loved the atmosphere and the crab was cooked perfectly. I opted for the mix seasoning boil and loved every minute of it. The service was also top of the line and I really just can’t wait to come back when we’re in town! 😀“

“My son and I went there for dinner he had lamb chops that he said was fire and my Mississippi catfish was amazing. We both had Mac and yams. I definitely will come back . Downtown location. Margaritas were good“

“Outstanding Food and service will keep you coming back!“

“Delicious! And a nice variety to choose from; food, smoothies, and bubble teas!“

“I'm giving them a 5☆ only because the prices fit my budget as far as the fresh meats. The kitchen has changed since I first started eating there. The last couple of times I ordered perch and I got orange roughy which was a little dry a better fish but I had my taste for ocean perch everyone that works there is very friendly always greet you with a smile.“

“Went on Sunday with my mom and husband and Adam was our server. We were immediately seated. Adam was quick and very attentive. We ordered Prime Rib, Delmonico and burger. I ordered the half chicken to go and mushrooms as an appetizer. Everything was delicious and for the price you can't beat it. The restaurant was clean and nice on the inside and what made the visit awesome was over the server. Adam as wonderful and kept our drinks full at times. You get the value for the meals provided. It's so nice to have an establishment like this as they are long gone. I also loved the fact that we all ordered salad and we got a family style serving where we served ourselves from the salad bowl. Thank you for a wonderful meal and the experience. It was our first time going and will be back.“

“Customer service was excellent. Our food was excellent. We ordered a rice bowl with salmon and wings with fries. The rice bowl was very flavorful. The wings were cooked crisp (exactly how we like them). Even the fries were good.
We enjoyed our lunch from here so much that we are considering going back for dinner.“

“Awesome decor, super thoughtful & helpful service, delicious food!“

“I like it. It is like a Chip-Pot-ul prolly a little better prolly just as expensive. Good selection of tasty food, it seems like there is much customization but I got the honey chicken that might not be there again. I was told for now it was temporary.The one I went to was more polite than any Chip-Pot-ul I've been to not that they were bad but not all that happy to see another customer.“

“Came in today when I say the food is amazing that is an understatement. Cocktails are beyond belief. The bartender Chris took great care of us and made sure we were well tended to. He explained the food menu and the cocktails which helped us decide and was of course a great choice. The manager mason and Mary came and made sure our time was more than perfection. Recommend must come and visit.“

“Service and food were beyond expectations. I've never had service better than here, even at the big companies, the service was not even matched. The food was just as good. I'll keep coming out of my way for this place.“

“We had such a great experience, the man working was so kind and helpful! The food was made to order, extremely fresh, hot, and well-seasoned to say the least! He offered us different sauces for our delicious chicken wings and fries which I really appreciated! This is definitely a new favorite for us when we are in town!“

“Oh my goodness! So hot, fresh and good!!! Love their fish and chips. I grew up eating this and it’s so good. Anytime we come to Cuyahoga Falls we stop and get this. Amazing food. Brings back childhood memories. It was down the street in Barberton growing up and we had it often.“

“I joined friends at Cozumel for a birthday celebration and had some delicious Mexican food. The salsa was seasoned beautifully with just enough kick to make it interesting without searing one’s mouth. I ordered vegetable tacos which came with a side of very tasty black beans and rice. I had a nice cold beer, I think it was Pacifico, to wash everything down.
A very satisfying meal! Thank you.“
