24 Best Seafood Restaurants near Des Moines

“I know all restaurants can’t be like Wally’s, but I wish they could. Went on a Friday night while I was staying at SeaTac waiting for a flight and had a great experience. My server, Jammie, didn’t miss a beat. Clam chowder and Lingcod were perfect! The owner was walking around and talking to every table and making everyone feel welcomed and taken care of.“

“My Mother-in-law just passed away and this was one of her favorite restaurants... especially their chocolate mousse! 💜 I had a very special request for the restaurant and Willy, the manager I spoke with, made it happen. I cannot begin to tell you how much it means to my father in law. Willy was so kind, professional and flexible! Thank you for granting a wish and adding a bright spot. You made someone smile today at a tough time.“

“The experience was great and the food was even better I definitely recommend 100% worth it and the drinks were great!!!“

“Service was awesome… food was great . Definitely will recommend.. highly recommend the Pier 88 combo“

“We found this place online, so we had no idea what to expect. The service was excellent from all members of the team, and the food was beautiful. We had soft shell crab and the most garlicy garlic shrimp you have ever had. The value for money was brilliant too. The restaurant has only been open about 8 months but based on our experience they can only go from strength to strength. Thank you Cloe and team!“

“Best fish and chips west of London! Great service too.“

“Stopped in while my kids were at KingCon! OMG the sweet potato fries and the sauce-amazing!!!!“

“The seafood and chowder were tasty. Our server was excellent.“

“I don’t do seafood at all. Most places that have the token beef items the steaks are pretty much just ok. That filet was amazing. Absolutely amazing. Tender, full of flavor, amazing. 10/10.“

“Outstanding Waitress Fatima! Everyone was so nice snd helpful from the Hostess, Bartender for my Strawberry Lemon, and Food preparers who brought the meal! The food was amazing! The Maple Bacon Seafood Bites were excellent! I will be back when in Seattle. I tried the Cheese Cake too! Yum!“

“It was our first time ever trying Ivar's Seafood Bar, and it was delicious! Everything we ordered was amazing, but the clam chowder and oysters are a must-try.
The cashier, Ariel, was very sweet and kind—she even recommended some great places to visit in Seattle.

The quality and prices were very reasonable. Definitely a place worth going back to! 😛🐟“

“Recommended by our shuttle driver who said we could easily share a meal. Very quick friendly service. Great food. Very large portions. Would highly recommend.“

“I ordered their 5 piece cod and a side of cornbread. I haven't been to an Ivar's in years, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was quiet. It was nice sitting down at a restaurant and not being bombarded by loud music. The interior is small, but the seats are still roomy. I would post a pic of my food, but I ate it.“

“I recently visited an amazing crawfish and hotpot restaurant in Seattle with my family and friends. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the prices were reasonable. The crawfish were flavorful and perfectly cooked, while the hotpot allowed us to customize our meal with high-quality ingredients. The staff were friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend this place for a fantastic dining experience with loved ones.“

“Decor is standard ivar’s, so I gave it a default 5 stars. Food is as expected, nicely fried seafood. The Asian lady frying the food seems very on top of things and open to helping the cashier when she has a spare moment. She seems more invested than she should be, so that’s good, right? They also bring your order out to you. I’m used to them calling your name and you have to get your order at the counter. So services is above par for an Ivar’s.

Wheelchair accessibility: Seems to be flat and level. No steps“

“I love the shrimp tacos. Very clean and good atmosphere. Friendly service.“

“Absolutely the most recommended location. The view made it on my top list. Not crowded and the service was good! I think they gave military discount! The staff was patient when they were taking our orders we were not decided on what to pick! The Cajun fish and chips were our favorite. We tried the crab salad and it was surprisingly good too! I love this location!!!“

“Needs a update on interior. Food is top notch, Ashley upstairs knows her way around the bar* the chef knows his way around the seafood and meats, you'll go for happy hour for the amazing view and come back for every nice occasion you can make a excuse for.

Parking: This view is the best kept secret in Browns Point NE Tacoma

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible“

“We had Jenny as our server and she was near perfect. Great menu suggestions, timely, not pushy and yet attentive. Four of us all ordered differently and shared... the food was prepared well and quite tasty. We all would highly recommend Crawfish House Renton. Oh, and they allowed us to bring in our well trained Labrador instead of having to leave her in a sun heated car. Very accommodating.“

“This food is really good and it will be good for the people that like seafoods. This place is good and the kids meal is cheaper than other places and has only three things to choose from the menu.“

“Been to Nana’s two times now each time the service is amazing, friendly staff. The food is outstanding every time, everything comes out perfect and tastes amazing. Highly recommend.“
