50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Bala Cynwyd

“Delicious food, beautiful scenery, very friendly staff.“

“Very good, nice service, comfortable room“

“We've lived in the neighborhood for 4 years and have not tried this gem until last week, what a shame! I did not expect the unique design, nice service, and delicious food. I had the moussaka, my wife had the lamb chops, and our young kids split the chicken kebab with rice. Also, the bar looks fun to have a drink at. Will definitely be back.“

“mussel was good the claim were too small the sweet potatoes fyes was good the sauce to salty other than that good“

“I had snapper soup there. It was an 11 out of a possible 10. My wife had New England clam chowder it is (her score system) a 10 out of 10. Best ever. Unfortunately, they do not currently have snapper soup. Missing the old Bookbinder too. Signed, Old Philadelphia natives.“

“atmosphere, service, food-all incredible. Heck I ate here when I was visiting Philly and the meal was so inspiring I moved here. None of this fake trained service, no obnoxiously complicated explanations of the chef or the food, just genuinely kind people serving genuinely good food that doesn’t hide behind any smoke and mirrors. If you haven’t had an amazing time here it’s probably cause you’re not much fun to begin with. Get here, order one of everything, enjoy it, you’ll fall in love.“

“The Food was Fresh ad Incredible“

“Our first experience at a James Beard award winning restaurant (2017) and chef was incredible at Vernick Fish in Philadelphia to celebrate Trent’s graduation! I know now what this caliber of food and service means and all other restaurants pale in comparison to Vernick Fish and Greg Vernick(semi-finalist chef 2025). From the appetizers (dozen oysters from RI, MA, ME, PEI) to the drinks and main course were all uniquely exquisite and cannot be replicated anywhere else. The constant doting with new silverware at each course and cleaning of the table was undeniably royalty treatment. Even the bathroom was an experience-I need the hand lotion in my life (instantly made my hands look 30 years younger). The portions, ambiance and service were all equally perfect! I highly recommend you check out Vernick Fish. We will definitely return!“

“First off the hospitality is top. You feel like you are at a friends home. The spicy passion fruit cocktail is killer. The crab noodle, hoe cake, beef skewer & the crudo transport you . Shout out to Demetri our server & the green jasmine Thai iced tea 🤤🔥“

“As a travel agent, food is important to me. I not only book for my clients, but I also make restaurant recommendations and WOW!!!!!! This place is it 😍😍😍 I took many photos last night of the food, the atmosphere felt as though I was not in Philadelphia, but far away on a perfect vacation dining at an amazing restaurant. I'm going to post my photos on my business page, people, if you want Greek food, THIS IS YOUR PLACE ☺️ Thank you for a wonderful hospitality and an amazing time my fiance and I will never forget.“

“We found Pearl and Mary quite by accident while looking for out door seating so as to enjoy a beautiful Philadelphia evening. And we were not disappointed. Location; perfect, food; perfect, service; exemplary...doesn't get any better👍🏻“

“Everything was so good. No fishy or stale flavors. Staff were very friendly and very informative on all the different types of sushi. Will be coming back. The A5 Wagu Uni hand roll was amazing!“

“IT WAS DELICIOUS! Definitely worth the trip and price! I will be back!“

“It’s was great jasmine is the best server“

“Always a Pleasure to have a Pleasure Platter. The lobster Bisque is my favorite.“

“We visited Pera and it is great to know that the restaurant met expectations and was consistent with the excellent review in the PHiladelphia Inquirer.“

“😍🤪🤪🤪🥂love it“

“Definitely one of my favorites spots and cheesesteak combo $16, great deal😋“

“Customer service was exceptional. Seating area was a bit small but everyone was so friendly and worked as a team. Honestly the best service I ever had. I went for restaurant week and ordered the shrimp creole. Omg I cleaned my plate and was still salivating over the idea of more when I got home. My partner ordered the crab soup and the salmon. Eyes rolled in the back of his head y’all. Everything was so well and for my first time they left a lasting impression. Would definitely dine here again. I’m just disappointed the shrimp creole isn’t on the regular menu.“

“Loved this place. This place was packed and I was so lucky to have a reservation for my date. We loved the food, not even lying when I tell you it was the freshest sushi I’ve had in a while. We went on the 17th and it was super busy, the staff worked so hard and still made us feel so welcomed.“

“Delicious Indian cuisine. I’ve been struggling to find a good Indian restaurant since I moved to the Philly area about 6 months ago, and I mean really struggling. Out of all of the places I’ve tried, Srinagar takes the cake!!! The Chicken Tikka Masala is incredible and is the perfect spice level for a medium. I did only get delivery via a third party service, but would certainly consider eating in next time. Will be eating here again!!!“

“The bartender, Colin Krouse, was AWESOME!!“

“Wonderful meal! This was a great restaurant with great service and fantastic food. Really enjoyed our meal. We had our kids with us who are accustomed to eating out in nicer restaurants. They were welcomed despite it being a quiet restaurant and even had a small kids menu.“

“True hospitality! I arrived last night after evacuating from Florida. Kenja and the executive chef brought me to tears because of the hospitality, warmth and concern for me and the people of Florida. 🫶🏼. This is what a high end restaurant is supposed to be. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.“

“Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable staff. Great fresh vegetarian options with delicious tomato broth. Good vibes and music. Clean bathrooms.“

“I was skeptical because I absolutely love eating meat. Meat and bbq is a huge part of my life. That being said dinner Saturday night was unbelievably fantastic. I absolutely loved everything that we ordered. Moms meatballs were my favorite dish. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that they are vegan. The cocktails were also delicious and strong. A++++ for this restaurant!“

“Really great food- we had the shrimp fried rice, noodle bowl and wings (salt + pepper). All meals were so tasty even the spring rolls! Wings were crispy, well seasoned and tasty. Restaurant staff are very nice and welcoming. We sat in, only 4 tables. It was a good dining experience not like a sit down restaurant for example you order at the desk, and there’s no waiter. So casual and lovely vibes! Definitely recommend and will be ordering again!!“

“As wonderful as I remember. A true cc gem. Get the tiramisu“

“The lady at the window is always nice! The Shrimp were good, of course. What I will say is, they are not the same size they used to be. Maybe because of the economy, understandably. I would pay for larger Sid Booker shrimps tho. The coleslaw was so good, kept simple, classic and fresh. Not fond of the fries. They've been better. Idk how to explain it. They are crispy but nothing is in the middle no soft potato, like a shell of a fry. Overall Philly staple shrimp place!“

“The best! Our weekly go to!“

“Dinner is always excellent here, but I especially wanted to recognize Alicia and Zack for making our visits truly memorable. We had them as servers on two separate occasions, and both provided outstanding service from start to finish. Their drink and dinner recommendations were spot on, and their friendly, engaging personalities made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. We’re already looking forward to coming back and seeing them again!“

“Always fresh seafood and definitely tasty!💯👌🏾“

“Best raw oysters! We visit it nearly monthly! 🥰“

“We had an amazing private there on Sunday with 60 people! They were accommodating, flexible and easy to work with. The food was delish!!!“

“Tối nay lại ghé Gabriella's Vietnam, gọi ngay đĩa tôm nướng thơm lừng với thêm tô phở gà nóng hổi. Ăn xong thấy vừa no vừa ấm bụng, đúng kiểu hương vị Việt mà mình mê. Không gian quán ấm cúng, nhân viên thì siêu dễ thương“

“The Best Restaurant/Bar in all of Conshohocken. Whether you are going for wings and a pitcher with friends or dinner with your family, the food is always good, the service friendly and the atmosphere warm and welcoming. Thankful for this neighborhood gem!“

“Hello, I wasn’t sure because of the name but I’m glad I stopped. I had the Hibachi mix vegetable w chucks of chicken and nice size shrimp and fried rice, everything was deliciously fresh my rice was not sticky, and it came with a side salad, Thumps Up to #DrunkeCrab!! top off w a breath mint.“

“Excellent Happy Hour!!! Will definitely dine here again!!“

“Excellent chicken shnitzel wraps!“

“I tried this place out on a whim for a lunch break and the food was great and I enjoyed what I ate. Normally I'm used to Mediterranean food being overcooked especially when it comes to chicken, but their chicken tender from the plate I ordered was really moist and the flavoring and seasoning was just right that I didn't need to sauce it out even though it was there on the side. Our server was really nice and attentive as well. The inside of the restaurant is really nice and enjoy the option to eat out at the balcony facing the lively intersection of Magnolia St and Trask Ave. Although the parking is probably hogged up by the car shop, you can find parking out on the north side of Magnolia St along the right side facing northbound. The point where the fire lane ends is not far from the restaurant and the walk to the restaurant is doable. If you're worried about battling the northbound traffic of Magnolia to get out of your car, you can drive a bit further and park in the nearby neighborhood. I got marked up pictures showing you where you can go. It'd be a five minute walk if you were to park in the neighborhood. I put up pictures marking out where this extra parking is. My suggestion is to come in from the South side going northbound of Magnolia St. or come in from the East side going westbound from Trask Ave.

But yeah to the folks that work out here in Garden Grove, you should give this place a try during your lunch break 💯. They got a lunch break special.“

“I recently went to Thailand this year and wanted to find a local Philly Thai food spot because I missed it so much. This place did not disappoint!!!!! I am SO excited to go back again. The service was great! The staff was so sweet. The food was incredible!! The menu has a great variety of things so there is something yummy for everyone and it’s BYOB. I can’t wait to try the wings🤤“
