50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Elkins Park

“*A true symphony of flavor*I've been here not once, not twice but three times and can only speak well of this establishment. I've gotten their BBQ wings (what the other reviews say about the flavor is true; FULL SLAP), their salmon rice bowl and their salmon and chicken salad. The salads are a great go if you're looking for something healthy! I'm not sure how they fix their salmon but it's seasoned to perfection ? will be returning!Ordered online thru their site (menuify I believe), food has always been ready by their promised time. Polite staff and humble place.“

“Lunch here was one of the best I’ve had in recent memory, and I can’t wait to return. We were delightfully surprised when given slices of truly magnificent fluffy, crusty bread and butter. Shrimp po’boy with homemade chips and poke bowl were undeniably fresh and flavorful, each a guaranteed reorder. Love how the shrimp were butterflied to keep the sandwich together. Do not skip dessert here because that means forgoing the carrot cake pie, and you need a slice of that goodness.“

“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.“

“We came for lunch and it really hit the spot. A variety of oysters are on the menu and we had fun trying all of them. The grilled salmon salad was excellent, especially if you like arugula. The salmon was so wonderfully cooked, melty inside and nice char outside. The fries are also delicious.“

“When we visit our young adult children in Philadelphia, we like this 'grown up' restaurant a lot -- a very good pre-theater menu with three courses, white linens and a fancy but friendly well-staff make this a special night out experience. Generous portions and freshly made dishes-- we especially like their fish offerings and their delicious take on Greek standards.“

“The experience is like no other. The staff and the ambiance is amazing. They have a set menu that you pick from some add ons if you desire. But I can't explain how great the food was, you just have to go and try it you'll love it.“

“Loveeee this place! Service is always great - love Dan! - and the food is consistently good! 3rd time eating here and the ribeye is always phenomenal. Banana Forster is worth’s saving room for! And the cocktails are made with love! Love Steak 38!!“

“Food was very good. I ordered the meatloaf. Sides are big enough for the entire table to share. Staff service was excellent everyone was so eager and happy to help. The staff even serve the food onto your plate. Nice dark environment. Drinks definitely were good, I got buzz from one drink. Birthday celebration where they even gave a hand written card. Such a pleasant experience“

“We had the best service with Kate! She gave us tips on what to order and ahead of time was dead on. We started with a cocktail and had a glass of wine with dinner. We split the spicy chicken empanadas, delicious, however, we did not detect the spice. We split the green chili Caesar. Honestly, the best Caesar in town. I do t see how they get it so cold and crisp, it's amazing! We then each had a ceviche. The baby shrimp, which were much bigger than anticipated, such wonderful flavor! My daughter had the crab, the server suggested mixing it right away to get the sauce mixed in. Very good! It did need more liquid. We simply poured the extra shrimp sauce in the crab, it was superb after that. The tomato on the shrimp just gives it more moisture and such a good flavor! We can't wait to go back!“

“Illata is truly the perfect restaurant experience. Amazing food and amazing service with the perfect ambiance. Everything wowed us but the chicory salad, tuna, and banana cream puff were to die for. Illata deserves every accolade! Highly recommend to everyone!“

“We are used to excellent bartenders at Seasons 52. We moved out of the area & haven't been back for about a year, but was shocked at the lack of service. We ordered 2 simple drinks, sparkling rose & prosecco, but it took over 25 minutes. Then we ordered appetizers while we were waiting for a table, that took so long we had to reorder at the table along with reordering our drinks. When we finally got to our reserved table, I was told, our original table had been given to someone else. I only found that out because they went up to check & the hostess recognized me & frankly said... oh, that's what happened & proceeded to tell me she gave our table away 25 minutes earlier. The waiter was nice, but very slow & the service overall on a Friday night, that was not busy was very slow. I'm disappointed.“

“I had the best sushi omakase experience here. It’s quality sushi put together right in front of you. You are served 15 pieces of gourmet sushi, one piece at a time. I especially enjoyed the smoked salmon, wagyu sushi, raw shrimp, and the oyster. They were outstanding. The edible gold sprayed onto the sushi was special. It’s BYOB so bring your favorite beverage with you. Enjoyed and savored every piece of sushi.“

“My husband and I went to Spasso for our 45 anniversary dinner. We have been to this restaurant many times and it never disappoints. The food is always delicious, the portions are generous and the staff is friendly and attentive. This is one of my all time favorites.“

“Really great. I had the Chongqing spicy broth, wagyu, head on prawns, scallops, and lamb as my meats and went crazy in the self serve area. Great quality meats and vegetable selection. Broth was good, service was good. I had to wait for about 1 hour because you cannot make a reservation for a 2 top, but it was well worth it. I left completely satisfied for 40 dollars plus tax, no uncharged. Highly recommended.“

“Everything is perfect. Foods delicious, servers are kind, atmosphere is beautiful. If you want to try Turkish cuisine, you should try here. I had mixed grill. Lamb sish and chicken sish were so soft and juicy. Rice was really good with döner.As a starter Arnavut ciğeri, ezme and cheese rolls were amazing.For desert I can definitely recommend Kunefe.You won’t regret.“

“This space is breathtaking. From the first few steps in, you know it’s going to be a good food experience. Meticulous detail on decor and the dishes. We had an oyster appetizer, fresh and well treated. We tried their pasta dishes and the spicy chicken sandwich and neither disappointed. Hands down best restaurant in the city.“

“Our first time here was absolutely fabulous. The food was perfectly cooked and seasoned, ranging from our appetizers to the steaks and seafood as main courses. The cocktails, of course, were well made, accompanying a deep breadth of wine options from various regions around the world—a fine mix of approachable wine along with premium options that paired well with every menu offering. Aside from the food and drink, the SERVICE was beyond impressive and elevated. From the concierge, to the para-service professionals, and our service specialist KWAME, each and every staff member acted with utmost professionalism, grace, and tact. Hospitality standards at its finest. Kwame treated us with undeniable poise, refinement, kindness, and great knowledgeability about the establishment's product and menu offerings while still remaining approachable, relatable, and attentive. As first time diners there, we felt secure and well-cared for by Kwame and his kind approach. This experience left a highly remarkable impression and guarantees that we will visit again very soon and make Eddie V's in Cherry Hill a trusted addition to our fine dining spots for my family every time I come down to visit from New York.“

“Came here for a business dinner. It was really an amazing experience. This place is a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. It's a tapas style tasting menu so they just bring you out like a dozen different dishes. The portions were perfect and everything was cooked to perfection. The ambiance is really nice and although the space is small it's not loud at all. I thought the waiter was also very nice professional and knowledgeable. This is definitely a high end place that is worth a visit. This may be one of the best restaurants in Philly.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pearl & Mary with my father and brother, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Every dish we ordered was incredibly delicious, showcasing the culinary expertise of the chefs.However, what truly made our evening exceptional was the outstanding service provided by our server, Harley. From the moment we walked in, Harley greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel right at home. Throughout the meal, she was incredibly attentive, ensuring that our glasses were never empty and that every need was met promptly.Harley's kindness and professionalism truly stood out, making our dining experience not only enjoyable but also memorable. Her dedication to providing top-notch service is commendable and undoubtedly enhances the overall dining experience at P&M.Thank you, Harley, for going above and beyond to make our visit so special. We can't wait to return and enjoy another wonderful meal under your care.p.s. we took home the pecan upside down cake… let’s just say, it’s a must have like Harley❤️Tommy“

“Waitress was very knowledgeable about the cuisine. Other staff were friendly and courteous. Food was excellent, tastes wonderful and plated beautifully. The interior might remind you of an old time elegant railroad car with curved ceiling, crystal chandeliers, etc. great place for special occasions.“

“Srinagar has the best samosa chaat in the area. Their takeout packaging is careful and food is kept in a double layered thick brown bag so you don't have to worry about a spill. And if you're lucky, you might just find a surprise complementary dessert in it.“

“Another great meal and overall enjoyable experience at the CG. I was meeting with old friends, and our server so open and friendly, she just added to the fun. The atmosphere is so elegant, classy for a steakhouse, and just a touch of rustic. Low lit, so it adds a bit of privacy. All of our meals were simply excellent. The calamari was crunchy, tender not chewy, and spiced just right. There was this cold crabmeat 'salad' that was amazingly fresh and bright tasting. Just a deep bowl of fresh chunks of lump crabmeat. The truffle fries were perfectly salted with a crunch outside and soft tender inside. The truffle taste took it up a notch. The steaks were prepared to a perfect medium. The meat was soft and tender. The lobster was sweet and buttery. The crème brûlée was a perfect way to end the night's culinary journey. The bartender even nailed the drinks.“

“For someone who never leaves reviews, I HAVE TO with this place. For starters, our waiter Matthew (Matt) was so fun and comfortable. Loved every second of his atmosphere. SECONDLY, the food was to die for. The kona rub steak has been on my mind since I ate it. Price was phenomenal when you get a beautiful seat, amazing food, and fun energy. 10/10 RECOMMEND“

“I held a gathering of 29 friends and family several weeks ago, and could not have asked for a better experience. Karleigh gave great advice on planning, all meals were delicious….everyone raved about the crab cakes. Our server was superb…..competent, timely and unintrusive. My friends and family all commented on how impressed they were with the entire event.“

“We have been looking for a place equivalent to Lilly’s in Glenside, since they are closed. I think when they open back up, we are still going to come to this place. Their tikka masala sauce is to die for and their mango chef special sauce is just amazing with so many flavors happening in the mouth. Prices are decent and quality and consistency is A+++Two time customer and we’ll be back. My husband has high expectations for food - it’s hard to find places that he likes enough to go back. This has definitely impressed him. Can’t wait to come back again soon!!Vegetarian options: We got the Paneer Tikka Masala and the Mango Veg Chef Special. Very nice mix of vegetables and they are tender and not obnoxious like most vegetarian options at other venues. The Aloo Papri Chaat is only $5 and is citrusy and savory flavorful at the same time.“

“My family and I had an amazing time at Omega's. When we realized there would be loud music playing that night, we requested another table because we had a baby. They were more accommodating, although the space was small. The food was good but the service was GREAT. The red snapper is a showstopper. The staff came over multiple times to ask how we were doing and if we needed more things. I would come back and recommend it to others.“

“I’ve been going here for years with my wife. Great food and good prices. It’s always nice to support a Muslim business.Dietary restrictions: My wife can only have dairy free and they’ve always accommodated her and her preferences. And the food doesn’t taste any less great!“

“Probably one of the best steakhouses ive ever been to. The vibe was right. Our waiter, Jim, was beyond exceptional. His professionalism and passion for service made the meal that much better. We live about an hr and a half away, and will certainly be back a few times a year now.“

“This was an interesting find in the Huntingdon Valley area. My chicken rollatini was delicious along with the side vegetables. Unfortunately, my husband's strip steak was not very tender. We wouldn't recommend ordering that. The tiramisu was delicious. It was a very nice atmosphere and even though it was filled with people we could still talk at our table. The service could have been better. We waited longer than we wished for the waiter to come take our order, and to ask about dessert. We may try again when it's less crowded and try something else on the menu.“

“Bacio Kitchen & Catering was a great venue for hosting an on-site dinner party! The price was reasonable for renting the space for 3+ hours. Chef/owner Robert was accommodating and met all our needs. The pub dinner served buffet style was very good-our guests loved it! We brought adult beverages, which were chilled beforehand and served to our guests. I would highly recommend Bacio’s!!“

“Only thing wrong with this place is that it’s not closer to where I live. Vegan fish and vegan fried chicken were incredible - and that’s feedback from a vegan and a meat eater. The cabbage was mouthwatering- the flavor out of this world. The service was wonderful - friendly and so helpful and enthusiastic. The place is small and there are only a few stools so plan to take out vs dine in. Do not skip this place! We can’t wait to go back.“

“One of the best authentic Italian seafood restaurants in the tri-state area. Top notch in every sense Thee isn’t anything on these menu that isn’t fresh tasty and made exactly like I remember growing up. Bravo Tommy Anastasi and your crew.“

“A great family run business. The pub seems to be clean and well maintained. A great selection of beer with some rare beer options. The food was surprisingly good with huge portion sizes and decently priced. Staff was friendly and attentive. A great place for food and/or drinks“

“Get the fries.They said to order 2-3 plates per person. We got 6 items for 3 people and could have gone with one less.Ranking:1. House fries were hands down our favorite2. The Korean BBQ tofu was also fantastic if you like spicy foodsThe avocado toast, meatballs, and Bao buns were all good. But the calamari just tasted fried and not much else.Yes, it’s loud, but just come prepared. Overall a fun and tasty plant based experience.“

“We got the mixed grill to share between 3 people and had more than enough food. I liked the chicken skewers and meatballs the best. This was the perfect choice to try a little bit of everything. We added a side of fries and they were perfectly crispy. I would definitely come back!“

“had dinner with family tonight. My Po-Boy was outstanding. I appreciated the fries which were crispy (I prefer fries which break when folded) We also had fried shrimp, and a shrimp/clam platter. We left very satisfied, and hope to come back some time“

“Such a cute little place!! Got the salt & pepper shrimp w/ rice, shrimp & pork dumplings, and lobster summer rolls. The cashier was soooo sweet and brought our food out to us. It was delicious. HAD to get more dumplings to go!! These pics don't do any justice“

“Came here with my mom from a recommendation her friend gave. We really enjoyed the sushi! The prices were very affordable, we paid less than $40 for two entrees and two soups. However the cleanliness was a little suspect for me. You can see the area where the chefs prepare the sushi, and it reminded me of a Waffle House.“

“Went to SkyHigh to celebrate a friend's birthday. She was so surprised at the choice. The lunch selection was wonderful. We both ordered the cod which was prepared and presented well. The apple pie with pecan ice cream we ordered for dessert was delicious. Loved the crust - light and flaky. The ambiance and view of the city was spectacular. Table Service by Alecia was attentive. Definitely a place to visit again.“

“This place has something for everyone to eat and drink. The atmosphere would likely create boredom for children. The bar menu is fun and reasonable. The staff knows what they are doing. The tables and decor are on point. The front and back of house communicate smoothly and make your experience what you need it to be.“

“I know seafood establishments are popping up all over the place now, and I can say I think I've just about tried every one of them. I must say this has been one of the best ones that I've had thus far. The crabs' legs were fresh, the shrimp was a nice size and not overcooked ?, the broccoli was nice and crisp, the corn was amazing, the potatoes was just right and the overall seasoning was perfect ??. And the customer service was excellent. Will definitely recommend this restaurant as one of the best seafood spots in Philly. Hat's off to the cook, owner, and staff.“

“Best Indian food around! My favorite takeout place and my guilty pleasure— SO much flavor and so many vegetarian options. Can’t stop recommending this place. Dal makhani, ekta dal, and paneer tikka masala are my go-tos. Bf can’t get enough of the butter chicken“

“Delish food - n of 3 times been so far and every time has been on point. Prices are definitely respectable (except $4 for extra pico) and the servers have always treated us nicely. Definitely recommend for Cantina food in the middle of Philly.“

“This is my husband and I’s FAVORITE spot now. The food is incredible- truly unique flavors, curated menu, combinations of elements that are a new experience every time. Service is always so friendly- the owner and head chef is the happiest and warmest person. He is a delight to be around! We keep coming back time and time again and it never gets old! You MUST visit!!“

“For the second year in a row, we hosted our family reunion dinner for 30 people in the China Wok's lovely event room on a Saturday evening. Everything was perfect due to owner Lin's attention to detail. She met in advance with me to plan the menu, taking into consideration our budget, dietary preferences, and the mixed age group of 2 months to 97 years. The decor was pretty, the servers were pleasant and helpful, our guests loved the food! The platters came out looking as visually pleasing as they were tasty. Nothing was too much trouble for Lin! We are grateful to the China Wok for the special time we shared with our family there.“

“My wife and I love a good BYOB and were not disappointed here! My wife got the seafood special of the night (stuffed flounder with crab meat) and I got the pasta special (half lobster and scallops served over pasta with a rose sauce). We absolutely loved it and the atmosphere was wonderful. We will absolutely be back!“

“This was my first visit to the New Olympics House. Last week I received a menu left outside my door.The menu was nicely prepared with beautiful monthly watering pictures. I was impressed by the amount of offerings and also a little worried because some restaurant offer a lot but food it not that good. So my brother and checked out the New Olympia House.Parking (as far as I know is street parking only). We were able to find a spot close to restaurant.We arrived around noon during a weekday.We were greeted by two hostesses and seated immediately.Our waitress greeted us introducing herself (I am sorry I can't remember her name). She spent a lot time going over the menu with us which we appreciated.When our food arrived it was well prepared. I ordered the pull pork sandwich with fries. My brother ordered chicken sandwich.We were both impressed with the size of the sandwiches. The food was delicious. We both left with "doggie bags". My brother ordered a grilled pork crop to take home for dinner.Also there is a bar in the restaurant. Next I visit I will order a beer.“

“The food is amazing and not the typical Vietnamese offering. The restaurant switches up the menu quite frequently, so you almost never know what is going to be available when you go there. It is definitely a great date place and it is located in a very fun neighborhood.“
