50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Jamestown

“Nice place to have a drink and and snack. The outside seating is great, and Emily is a very pleasant server.“

“Went to the Coast Guard House for my daughter's birthday a couple of weeks ago. Our server Julie made us feel comfortable like family. She was very attentive taking care of every need we might have. The food was great. I will definitely be back. Hope I get Julie for a server again.“

“Great food and service A+“

“Had a hankering Sunday evening for an elite Lobstah Roll while in Newport, RI so I did a lil internet searching and Luke's was consistently at the top of the list. Checked out their menu online and saw they offered a Lobster Roll flight! SOLD! Off I went to find parking and get an order ASAP. Found Luke's on the corner on the Wharf and got to ordering with a quickness. Lobster Roll Sampler with three 2 oz half-rolls: lemon butter, spicy honey butter, and truffle butter w/ chips and a soft drink. Choice of Sea Salt or Sea Salt and Vinegar Kettle Chips, and choice of beverage. I got the Sea Salt and Vinegar (duh) and Blueberry Lemonade in a glass bottle. The lobster in their rolls comes cold, but for a $1 upcharge, you can get it warm, which is my preference. I also got an affordably priced Poppy Seed Slaw. Folks - these Lobster Rolls deserve top billing on "Best Of" lists. My fav might have been the truffle butter lobster roll. It adds something I never knew a lobster roll was missing, but they were all delectable. The roll makes the roll, though. Buttery sourdough with the perfect thin layer of crisp. All flavors were well-balanced and left me wanting more, even though it was plenty food to make a satisfying meal with maybe/maybe not room for dessert. I honestly didn't get any dessert nearby because I didn't want to lose the taste of what I just had! The Poppy Slaw was different, but in a good, not-too-different way. It was a little on the dryer side for my liking, but I liked it just the same. I am sorry to other local Lobster Roll vendors because I don't think I'll try anywhere new on my next visit. It'll be Luke's, no doubt. I might even make a special trip just for the rolls sooner rather than later, but that time I will try the chowder too!“

“On time delivery of excellent food, friendly and delicious“

“We had lobster, stuffies, and chowder sent to Ocean Shores, WA. for the 4th! I spent my summers in Narragansett, RI, and would be at Galallie at least 3 days a week. If not swimming or fishing, we would be eating Libe Maine Twin lobsters at Champlins and watching the Block Island ferry and charter boats coming in and out. Back then, a twin lobster mail with clam cakes was at most, $8.50. Let's say these felt like they were delivered right from the boat. 100% fresh and dang tasty. Now it wasn't $8.50, but I was shocked at how reasonable it was to ship! 100% will order again.“

“Fabulous 😍
Enjoyed the Lobster Roll, homemade chips, wine and key lime cheesecake! Our waitress was super attentive and efficient. Prices are fair, if you plan to have more than one glass of wine...in some cases it's more cost efficient to buy the bottle! There is a takeout window and a Tiki Bar on George's beach. Next time, we plan to stay there for the day! Great views of all the boats made for a really wonderful day.“

“THE BEST!!! The GOAT of seafood restaurants!!!“

“The best little wicket pub with such an atmosphere and a great bartender. Was there on a Wednesday afternoon got some GF tots and my daughter for the country tots and the husband for oysters and some top shelf whiskey! So much fun and some really great people. Can wait to head back!!!!“

“Delicious food and excellent customer service in family friendly atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating!!👍👍👍👍👍“

“Great options for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just a cocktail and appetizer. Johnny’s is an ideal location. The Patio has an awesome view. The employees are wonderful and make everyone feel like family. Entertainment on Weekend nights. Free parking…. I can’t say enough!“

“Best lobster bisque in all of RI! Love the fried clams dinner, chowder and a real good Bloody Mary ☺️. Jimmy's is a must try, you'll never go to any other seafood restaurant in Narragansett/Galilee.“

“Awesome and a must try“

“Ate here for the first time last night and it was amazing. Food was great, but the service was even better! Very friendly and accommodating.“

“We had a wonderful dinner during Restaurant Week. Without question, it was the best combination of value and we experienced. The $30pp 3 course meal was delicious. We had mussels and crispy tuna eggroll. For the main we had cod/polenta puttanesca and pasta w/white clam sauce. Both big servings and cooked perfectly. Dessert was crème brûlée and gelato. Service was friendly. The only negative was the noise level, a little loud and close. Still a very enjoyable evening. We will be back.“

“the best ice cream in town“

“Best place to eat in Galilee. Perfect spot right on the water. Staff is super friendly. Highly recommended. — The S-Gang —“

“My family and I stayed here for a recent event. We had dinner Friday and an after party Sunday. The staff could not have been more attentive and kind - Matthew especially worked hard to take care of us & never stopped smiling! Special shout out to Dalton and Angie as well! They made a great positive impact on our event and we will always appreciate it!“

“I have been a customer for 5 years and live an hour away. I hold oyster parties for my oyster loving friends so I shuck all the oysters myself. I have shucked many different kinds of oysters but AMH are a dream to work with because they are consistent. Very few if any bad ones. I love the selection too. Ordering and pickup by car easy.“

“The best, freshest meal we experienced while in the cape area (from California)! The fried scallops and the spicy crab stuffed humongous clam was to die for!! Thank you especially to the warm and generous welcome by LeRoy and Robert--we will be regulars!“

“Beautiful views of the Narragansett Bay and Newport bridge.“

“Salmon and ribs were delicious. Service was friendly but slow. Thankfully we went early on a Saturday night.“

“Absolutely brilliant experience. Wonderful food, fairly priced, can’t complain. Smiling faces from staff such as Abbie who was the ‘cherry on the cake’ of my visit, really made the experience that much more enjoyable. Will be back soon.??“

“This was our first time having "Rhode Island style" clam chowder. You probably know that New England style is cream based, while Manhattan style is tomato based. Turns out, Rhode Island is "clear." So just stock/broth. My husband and I both really enjoyed this version. Probably more so than the cream or tomato based! The only reason this got 4 Stars is because of the clam cakes. I imagined they would be like a crab cake but with clam instead of crab meat. But that's not the case at all. They were like a salty biscuit rolled in a ball and deep fried. I didn't mind it so much, though they are quite heavy in the gut. But my husband thought there should've been way more clam.“

“Went here for a quick bite and to also try out their lobster rolls. Was not really disappointed. The lobster roll could have been a bit better and with more lobster in it, considering the price you par for the lobster rolls. Also had a slice of pizza and it was very good.“

“Wow, a top New York City type restaurant in Newport. Forget the losers comments from years ago. Dress like you’re going first class. Atmosphere here is awesome…2nd floor is special. Drinks are reasonable and delicious. Our server PATRICK WAS AMAZING. They explain specials and drinks. Most attentive and all foods were perfectly presented. Wanna another drink, ask and within 2 minutes it’s there. We had wild mushrooms and salmon that were incredible as appetizers. Caesar salad was fresh and lettuce crisp. Scallops special had my wife shaking her head. My seafood linguine was overflowing with fresh seafood. The dessert of “Snowball from Hell” can be shared. Our 54th anniversary was unreal. THANK YOU Park next door in Moorings lot.“

“This was the BEST RESTAURANT we went to in Newport!! All of the seafood dishes were excellent, fresh and tasty. If you’ve ever been to the famous Oyster Bar in Grand Central station, this place is just as good. Definitely NYC prices for oysters $3.50/ oyster but that seemed to be the average price for a lot of the places in Newport.

The scallops were extremely fresh, sweet and perfectly cooked. Also highly recommend the linguine pasta with calms, along with the lobster bisque. The bisque has HUGE pieces of lobster and was the perfect appetizer. For drinks and dessert, recommend the mojito and the chocolate mouse.

This place is definitely worth the trip to Newport!!“

“We found Scales & Shells while meandering around Newport, it is convenient on Thames St. We were very pleasantly surprised to find some of the best lobster bisque we've had, with a rich creamy broth & big chunks of lobster. We also found the calimari to be crispy & delicious. The raw clams & oysters were top-notch. All with a cold local beer on tap and excellent service. We'll be back...“

“Day trip today, first stop is Meldgie's. Meldgie's has been a staple for us over the past 20 years. We vacation in the area from Agawam, MA. Our first stop and only breakfast spot is Meldgies. The food, atmosphere and service is always spot on. Thank you for always being our go to over the years. Honorable mention to Ruby our waitress for delivering great food and service!!! See you in a few weeks when we come back for vacation.“

“Spectacular dining experience between the service, Sarah and Olivia were phenomenal! The food, the scratch made fettuccine was perfectly cooked and coated with the hearty bolognese full of flavor, the eggplant app was mouthwatering and the Gorgonzola dip w/ garlic bread was incredible- they should bottle the stuff! The atmosphere was inviting and full of locals who were eager to share their recommendations! 10/10 will be back!“

“Addicted to their smoked bluefish dip - have ordered 2 servings to go as my dinner before if that tells you something 😅
everything else is phenomenal as well. One of my local favorites since they opened!! Beautiful interior and design.

edit: Their Chicken Milanese is perhaps my new favorite ?!?!“

“We just stopped for take-out after the ferry back from Block Island: just a short wait, outstanding milk clam chowder and clam cakes (The Combo)!! Have wanted to go since seeing them on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Will return when in the area to try more!“

“We LOVED the Crispy Tuna and Shrimp Tacos, but the service was the best part. Our server Siyan, was amazing. She was attentive and fun and made us feel so welcome. We also thought the igloo seating was so neat!!!“

“Very friendly servers.Good food.higly recommended.“

“Flos is always the first stop when we get into town. Chris the bar tender always serves up great food and great service! Clam cakes and chowder are always a must have.“

“Awesome Chicken Parm! Huge portions!! Most definitely will be back!“

“Take and Bake pizzas are fantastic. I usually get a few and leave them in the freezer for nights I dont feel like cooking. Follow the directions as they are labeled, and they always come out perfect.“

“I have been to the pub many times for dinner, whenever we are nearby but this time something was different. The atmosphere and service are great, but we got the huge shrimp cocktail and the brisket sandwich, it really was special. An unexpected treat. Go early.🧐“

“* revised review for Breakfast*

We recently tried the new breakfast menu, and our initial impression is that the menu is certainly ambitious, but some of the menu items We’re a *bit* on the heavy side for breakfast. Nonetheless, it’s certainly a unique experience, which seems to be what they aim for.

I highly recommend trying the breakfast items, but for some it might be a *bit* too fancy...

Attention to detail”.

The stars should speak for themselves, but here is the more in-depth explanation:

It’s absolutely clear that the owners of this establishment invest a profound amount of time and energy into training and MENTORING their staff and holding them to a superb standard of service and of course attention to detail.

The front of the house we staff, from the host or hostess, to the wait staff and the bussers: every single interaction is Matt with professional courtesy and in many cases accommodation. The presentation of the order is always done with precision and accuracy, which I appreciate very much.

The products: whether it’s a quick sandwich for lunch or at dinner spread out over a couple of hours, each plate is prepared again, with intensive care and of course, attention to detail.

I have been coming here since they have open, but I have recently become a regular and I have started coming in here for lunch. I’ve had the opportunity to talk with the bartenders and the various weight staff, and from what I can gather there is a very good relationship between the owners and those whom they employ. Is also clear to me that there is a great deal of time and attention devoted to their training in the maintaining of very high excellent standards of service and conduct and professionalism.

It is with great pleasure that I bestow my highest endorsement professional and dedicated staff here at chophouse grill. I am extremely impressed with the quality of the service and presentation I’m such a finally crafted product, as well as the mentoring that goes into it.

The only true recommendation that I have would be to consider tablecloths for the dinner to “soften” the room/atmosphere. I am usually in there for lunchtime, which is a quick and informal affair. Most of the tables seat four; table cloths would be a nice touch and make the setting that more intimate.

Commendable job folks, extremely well done.

“We order about once a week. Best Chinese food 🥘“

“Our meal was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced for seafood. We were pleasantly surprised by the generous amount of seafood in our pasta and quesadilla dishes. The service was outstanding, but what truly made our experience exceptional was the care and attention given by the General Manager, Rhonda. She went above and beyond to ensure our child—who has severe allergies, including shellfish—was safe and felt included in our dining experience. Rhonda took the time to mingle with guests and has a fantastic rapport with everyone. Her presence truly elevated our visit. We didn’t have a reservation, and the restaurant was quite full, but they still managed to accommodate our party of five within a few minutes. Overall, a wonderful experience we won’t forget!“

“Excellent food, amazing, very friendly and attentive staff. We will definitely be back!“
