50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Prospect Park

“Humble and proper. The food speaks for itself.

Had the curry goat and it was amazing.

The cabbage and collard greens were both exemplary.

Highly recommend.

Limited seating available.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“The service and food was great. 🤗“

“😍🤪🤪🤪🥂love it“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

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

“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!!“

“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“

“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 !!!!!“

“Excellent customer service and safety precautions in place.“

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

“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 !“

“Very good, nice service, comfortable room“

“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 ❤️🥂💍“

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

“This restaurant is cute and the food was delicious! Each dish was authentic and reminded me of all the food I had in Indonesia awhile back when I was there. Staff was very friendly and we would definitely come back if we visit Philadelphia again! :)“

“Love their seafood boils“

“I’m here with my friends for the first time and don’t wanna leave without writing a review. The food is so good and also so enough. I am so full right now and also still have leftovers to take home. I can’t overemphasize how fantastic the service is too. They are very much welcoming and accommodating to the wants and needs of their customers.“

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

“Had an awesome night at Oltremare. The interior is seriously beautiful, one of those places where you walk in and immediately feel like you picked the right spot.
We grabbed seats at the bar and got taken care of by G, who made us feel like old friends from the second we sat down. Super attentive, great energy, and knew exactly how to guide us through the menu without it ever feeling forced.
We originally came in just for happy hour… and ended up staying for a full dinner. That alone should tell you everything. The food, the drinks, the vibe, all hit. Easily one of those spots you plan to come back to before you even leave.“

“I came here for the second time with my younger sister on a random weekday night. The server / bartender was super welcoming and so thoughtful! She was always consistently checking in with us. My sister and I got mocktails which were pretty good, not too tart, not too sweet. We both got smash burgers which were decent. It wasn't too greasy or messy, which is appreciated. Will return again to try out some other items!“

“We stopped here for lunch on our way somewhere else because of the intriguing name. Boy was that a lucky coincidence. Service was attentive although, to be fair, there were only 4 people dining in.
The food was absolutely fantastic. The cold sesame noodles did not have the gloppy sauce one finds in most places. Instead, the noodles were dressed in sesame oil. Similarly, the roast pork buns were not the overly sweetened pork they use elsewhere. We also got the pumpkin dumplings that were out of this world. Finally we had the General Tsao's Tofu that remarkably remained crispy despite the sauce.“

“Gabrielle was a phenomenal waitress! She is very knowledgeable about the menu and and loves her job. She spoke so passionately about food items you’d think she was the chef! Best waitress I’ve ever had honestly.
The food was just as amazing as the service. Our reservation was pretty late but we never felt rushed out of the restaurant. The manager stopped by to check on how everything was going, which we appreciated. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant and specifically this location!“

“We went to celebrate a birthday. The atmosphere was great until a party was seated next to us that broke a glass and caused a problem. The party was later removed. Our server handled the situation very well and was attentive despite the issues.“

“Great food super service and spotless clean“

“My new favorite place to eat breakfast. All employees are helpful and pleasant. Food is outstanding. Always a pleasure♥“

“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.“

“Cozy. Great service. BYOB. And the food is tasty!“

“I'm giving you a 20 star first time I've ever ordered oxtails always just order fried fish and chicken and shrimp and sometime grill shrimp first off let me say that the beautiful young lady that work the front is amazing always smiling very sweet second the food is always hot and fresh but baby the oxtails in gravy the cabbage potatoe salad and rice is top that food was so good I was sucking the bones this store is the truth and the food proves it if you want good soul food in the city of Philly please please go to blu bay the best and I was asked if the oxtails better than the Jamaican stores the oxtails supercede the Jamaican restaurant one of a kind I will continue to go back more and more love it blu bay keep up the good work ?“

“We attended a Holiday party there, we were blown away by the atmosphere, food and staff“

“Awesome that’s all I can say.“

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