50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Norwood

“Today got takeout for the first time got the lunch breaded flounder and it was awsome.I will be back.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The shrimp smd the crab devil eggs was delicious 😋“

“I don’t think I have ever tried so many new foods in one sitting before. We ordered a special from the raw bar that our waitress described as a boujee poke bowl (she was awesome btw and very patient with us as we were being indecisive). It was so good! I couldn’t even tell you what was in there but basically every raw fish ever with a really great sauce. We also got some oysters (so fresh with great sauces) and the trout pancake. Never thought I’d be into cold fish on a pancake, but it was delicious. Anyway, all that rambling to say this place is amazing, definitely go if you can get a reservation, and definitely try all the weird things that sound kinda scary.“

“Unique food, cozy, candlelit atmosphere. Our group enjoyed it tremendously. Highly recommend.“

“1)wonderful food and a goodly portion.2) BYOB 3)Not cheap but reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. Hits the Restaurant Trifecta!!!“

“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.“

“This was our first time and we loved it!! My daughter had been prior and suggested Sedona! Very good food and great service from Danielle!! Nachos, stuffed jalapeño’s for starters and just delicious!!!! I had the shrimp and grits which were amazing!! It came with the smallest bottle of Tobassco and my wife said…thank you!!!🤷🏾 my ladies loved their dishes and it was a nice time at dinner!! Didn’t wait long for a seat which is always a plus! It’s a large space which also has outside seating!! When I got home I sent those shrimp right back to the Bayou which was a good thing…it made room for two apple cider donuts from Linvilla!!! Will def go back!!!!“

“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!“

“Out of so many of Indonesian restaurants in the south Philly area.
DJAKARTA CAFE is our Best Place to enjoy the authentic Indonesian culinary! The portion is huge,not stingy with the sauce. I tried almost all they have in the menu, but Nasi Ayam Bakar is hands-down one of The Best! Came along with tamarind soup, fried tofu, n fried tempe..also the sambal spicy chilly!
Without forget mentioning dessert Es Campur !“

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

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“The service and food was great. 🤗“

“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.“

“Idk why it’s so hard to find fresh crabs in Philly this decade. Had to crack them open to make sure but yuppp, think this place about to be my new go to spot for blue crabs. Pic without all the sauce so you can see the color inside. Keep up the good work :)“

“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 food was subpar. The prices are ridiculously high for the quality of the food. The service was average at best. Order a "vegan" burger for $17 which was just an impossible patty which came between a bunch that tasted and felt like cardboard. Also didn't come with fries. the drink photos in the menu are deceptive as they appear larger than the actual drinks received. Save yourself some money and have a better meal by going downstairs at the Grand Sierra Resort to Johnny Rockets.“

“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!!“

“Excellent customer service and safety precautions in place.“

“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.“

“Good food. Good customer service.“

“We went for Valentine's Day. The food was delicious. I got the surf and turf and everything was cooked perfectly. Service was awesome - the hostess, servers and busboys were great. I'm so glad we went last night. Thank you !“

“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🤤“

“Love their seafood boils“

“Excellent chicken shnitzel wraps!“

“We had our daughter’s bridal shower there last weekend , the Wait Staff and Food were AMAZING !!!! We highly recommend for all your special occasions !!!!!“

“I've chosen this restaurant twice for parties because of the quality of food, outstanding customer service, and the only complaint I have is that the air conditioning was not cold. We chose a 100 degree day to go and found out the hard way. It was 88 degrees in the restaurant. 🫠“

“My grandkids and I love this diner! Food is awesome and atmosphere is extremely wonderful! The staff is oustanding and food is brought out really fast!“

“Wonderful food and service was amazing. Our servers Linda and Brenda were awesome. Will definitely be back. It’s our third time here!!“

“Went tonight for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. Only 2 other tables were occupied on a Sat night and we think it’s under recognized. The price felt very comparable to other Italian spots in the area and the food quality was on par or better. Our waitress was fantastic. We will definitely be back!“

“Very good, nice service, comfortable room“

“Great food super service and spotless clean“

“My boyfriend proposed to me here last weekend, and the staff at DePaul’s table were incredibly warm, professional and helped make it so special. They were all in on the surprise, and helped us capture the memories. They paid attention to every little detail. I’m forever grateful ❤️🥂💍“
