50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Newcastle

“The chow mein tastes exactly how it's supposed to, which sounds insane, but I swear it makes sense. The food is consistently cooked to perfection, the staff are super lovely, and the vibe is comfy. There is a fish that will stare at you uncomfortably depending on where you're seated, but I think that's a feature rather than any kind of detriment.“

“The food was excellent, and the waitress was very attentive. I had the wonton soup, crispy honey walnut chicken, garlic string beans, and the short ribs. Every dish was very good. If I had to choose a favorite it was probably the honey walnut chicken because it had a very satisfying crispy texture on the outside.“

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

“Absolutely amazing! Every bite was perfect.“

“Our family’s go-to in the Bellevue-Issaquah area.“

“Our lunch at Dukes on Friday was outstanding. Their chowders are very flavorful, four different ones, each unique. And the Dungeness crab salad, well, what can you say? Amazing! Thank you for a great dining experience in Bellevue!“

“Happy hour selection and prices are good. Going back for a boil!“

“Our server Xiaoming was so nice! They were sold out of some items but she was so nice when explaining it and also was able to explain it so thoroughly! I always love coming to haidilao and the food was so good as always! Thank you guys so much 😍“

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

“Hello,

I live in downtown Kirkland area, and I have always loved Ivar's Seafood Bar. Even though I don’t eat out often, your food has always been one of my favorite choices.

During my last visit, I noticed a small fly on the edge of my plate. When I brought it to the register, the staff member who was otherwise very kind and helpful touched the edge of my plate with their hand and removed it, saying it was “just a herb.” In that moment, I didn’t know how to react, so I returned to my table and continued eating.

However, afterward I felt uncomfortable and unsettled. Part of me even questioned myself, but at the same time I couldn’t ignore that my plate had been touched. It affected me more than I expected I felt uneasy, and it stayed with me.

What makes me most sad is that I now feel like I can’t come back to a place I truly love. I find myself hesitating, as if I might experience something similar again. I believe this was an unintentional mistake, and I do not want anyone to get in trouble. I have respect for your team and understand that people can make small mistakes.

I kindly ask please ensure that situations like this are handled with care, and that no one touches a customer’s plate.

Thank you for your understanding. I’m sure you will take this into consideration.

I truly hope something can be done so I can feel comfortable coming back again, because right now I find it difficult to return to a place I really love.

If needed, I would be willing to share details of my visit to help you review the situation.

Sincerely,“

“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.“

“Went for a seafood boil and it was beyond delicious. Timely serving, absolutely heaping boil, and the Cajun seasoning was to die for. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and will definitely be making it a frequent dinner spot with my family!“

“The best Crab I ever ate in my lifetime ? amazing family Restaurant! My family will be here every month!“

“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!“

“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.“

“A few of these reviews are very helpful! The one thing I was looking for that I didn't see was the trailer temp for loading. It looks like they want reefers set to -10. Doesn't seem like a big deal to have it pre-chilled as I'm sure it would have said so in my load information, but I would've liked to have mine already running at the correct temp before I arrived.“

“The service was great . I liked the fish items .“

“Worth stopping by before a fight back to a different state.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🌟“

“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.“

“New Englander through and through got the Cajun fish basket and clam chowder. First time here went off what was recommended. Cajun fish fry was great snappy crust flaky fish, chowder well, more like soup but still flavorful. I am biased but still solid food for just arriving to Seattle living on 4hrs of sleep.“

“Anthony’s HomePort @ Kirkland made my Birthday Special. First was greeted by a wonderful staff at the check in area. Then when seated at a wonderful window view was handed a cute Birthday card. The waitress was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and plentiful. But the cherry on top of the experience was the sunset view we had while dinning. Thank You Anthony’s for making my Birthday Special and unforgettable!“

“I have bought many different canned crabmeat products through out the years, but this was the second time I used this product. Not only is the taste sweater but when you sort through the meat, there is very little cartliage . Still have to sort but once is enough,“

“The best Panang Curry I've had in a long time!“

“We love it and loved the food“

“If we (4 of us traveling for a conference) could give it 100 stars we would have! From the greeting, ambiance, food and service this restaurant is exquisite! The presentation of the food matched the flavor and can be described no other way than flavorful and devine! The locals may know of this place but we are considering it the best kept secret for travelers!“

“ほんまに美味しかったです。皆さん仮装していらっしゃって楽しいディナーでした。❤️🎃“

“This Chinese supermarket offers great prices, making it a budget-friendly shopping destination. The variety of Asian products and ingredients is impressive, catering to diverse culinary needs. However, cleanliness is not their strong suit, as some areas may appear untidy or disorganized. Despite this drawback, the staff is helpful and the selection of items is vast. If you're willing to overlook the cleanliness aspect and focus on the affordability and availability of authentic Asian products, this supermarket is worth a visit for a cost-effective grocery shopping experience. ???“

“We came here for lunch after visiting Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park with our 3-year-old daughter, and it was a great casual family stop.

I had the prawns and fries, which were delicious, and our daughter loved them too. My wife and mother-in-law split the chicken and fries, which worked well since they are not as into seafood. The portions were a good size for lunch, and the prices felt reasonable.

One thing I really enjoyed was the variety of sauces. They had vinegars, tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and other options, so it was fun to mix and try different combinations with the seafood and fries.

The line moved quickly, the restaurant was clean, and there was both indoor and outdoor seating. We sat inside and were able to use a high chair, which made it easy with our toddler after playground time. Parking nearby was also easy when we visited.

The views here are spectacular, and the location is hard to beat if you are already spending time at the park. We would definitely come back if we visit Gene Coulon again.“

“The food is great and the service is even better. Sam is a wonderful attentive server who anticipated my needs and those of my 12-year-old son. He was managing during our visit but took the time to greet us, check in on us and make sure each dish was perfect.“

“A local Seattle friend took us to a seafood restaurant, and the grilled lobster was indeed a masterpiece, Q-bouncing as if it were fighting with my teeth ...... Steak grilled octopus fried squid clam chowder are all this 👍🏻 and the final dessert of caramelised bread pudding was amazing! The meal cost nearly $650 plus a $100 tip, so it was worth it, haha!😁😋😋I'll be back next time.“

“First time there tonight. Very,very Good! Met my Daughter there and both the Server (Michelle) and the owner (Keith) were very attentive & welcoming. Food was great & plentiful. Looking forward to returning.“

“My friends and I went to Shinya Shokudo today and has the best time ever! Crystal our server was absolutely amazing and was very sweet! We had a million questions and every single time she was willing to answer. Our food was always very on time and even when splitting up the check she dealt with our request with no issue! 10/10 would recommend!“

“Excellent food and service! 🤘🏽💜“

“I've been dining here for years. Best place for authentic Chinese food in the area. While I've been delighted with everything I've had, my go-to favorites are the wasabi hand-shredded chicken together with pea vine in broth.

They also have American Chinese options if that's your jam, but seriously, consider letting this will be your day to branch out, because this is definitely place to do it!“

“My son & I (from Wisconsin) are traveling across Washington. Stopped here for lunch and very happy we did! We were welcomed in & had our dining options clearly explained to us. Food was extremely yummy! Mango dream & Guava boba were also great. Highly recommend stopping here!“

“I've been a Seattle resident my entire life and I've probably been going to Ivar's restaurants almost as long. Let's put it this way, I'm old enough to remember Ivar Haglund's commercials and his guest appearances on the JP Patches show. 😆

I've been meaning to write a review of the Issaquah Ivar's because I'm a local and I've always had such good experiences there. Truthfully, I didn't even realize there was an Ivar's in Issaquah until just a few years ago.

As a former restaurant worker (Shari's) many years back, I'm pretty picky when it comes to restaurants. Here's what I like about this one:

About the restaurant:
-It's clean.
-Bathrooms are well maintained.
-Tables are cleared quickly.
-The drink and condiment section (sodas, ketchup, tartar sauce stuff, etc.) always seems to be well-stocked with everything.
-Floors are clean too.
-Have I mentioned it's clean? lol
-The food is always served hot and fresh. Fries are crispy, fish is crispy, chowder is *amazing*, salads are good. My kids don't like the coleslaw (I think it's good) but they love all the other stuff on the menu.

About the people who work there:
-Great, personable customer service.
-The people who work there are quick when you need something.
-I'm not sure who the red-headed manager lady is but she's really attentive, helpful, and funny. Ever since she started working there, that Ivar's location has really improved on all levels. The previous management was OK but this manager really seems to go above and beyond.
-Bob - Have you met Bob? He's an older gentleman who works there and he's seriously an Issaquah legend. My whole family loves Bob! He is the kindest man and we always look forward to seeing him there. I mean, this Ivar's is good but Bob really sells it. He's definitely one of a kind.

Overall, I feel comfortable eating at this restaurant because they seem to run a tight ship. As far as restaurants go, it's one of the cleanest I've been to anywhere.

And now I'm hungry and need some fish and chips. lol.

(Sorry I don't have better photos. I'm one of those people who pretty much only take pictures of food.)“

“What they lack in space they make up for in freshness, flavor and presentation. Tried lots of different rolls and the chicken teriyaki w gyoza and it was all amazing. P.S. komorebi is a Japanese word for light peeking through the leaves of trees and casting patterns. Perfect name for a such a little spot with such beautiful food.“

“Consistently excellent food; the freshest ingredients. Never disappoints!!“

“Absolutely FANTASTIC food and the service is top notch! Our server Veronica was FABULOUS and David the bartender made my daughter the fanciest mock tail! Treat yourself and enjoy the experience!“

“Frank's is my favorite place in town to get oysters on the half-shell. The vibe is warm, relaxed, and welcoming. The bread with ash butter and sea salt is a favorite. The oysters are fresh, plump, and succulent. The champagne mignonette is flavorful and delicate so as not to outdo the oysters. We tried a seasonal dessert: nectarine, rose, and pistachio pavlova. Everything is delicious. Finally, the service is impeccable. We always feel special when we are here and we can't wait to visit again soon!“

“Amazing bartenders and drinks!“

“we was passing through on our way home to Yakima & stopped to eat lunch. Thank you the service staff & food was great!“

“Sometimes it's hard to see this place driving down Rainier, but you can smell the goodness coming out of here. The patio was packed with locals from the East African community, and not a single hipster in sight, so I HAD to check it out. Glad I did. Took home some amazing spicy lamb tibs and it was so good I just had to take my partner here for dinner a few nights later. She was impressed as she ordered what I had the last time, and I had the Keye Wott (which was nice and spicy but not too spicy). Looks to be a family run joint, and the staff just loved that I came back and brought my partner here. Highly recommended.“

“Our server, Freya, was outstanding. We will ask for her again.“

“We came for the pool tournament and stayed for the steak! Absolutely incredible food! Highly recommended! Hospitality and service were top notch. From the time I gave them my card I was addressed by my first name and treated like a friend. Couldn’t ask for a better night! 5 star!!“

“Very fine Japanese restaurant!“

“Delicious seafood boil at a decent price.
Recommend the 7lb for a family of 4. Very friendly staff, clean restaurant and restrooms. As tourist we really enjoyed being able to walk around The Landing area to explore. Great location and overall experience.“

“Lunch special are super reasonable. Food comes out fresh to order and lots of flavor. This is really good American Chinese food, not so much authentic but still good. Egg flour soup and hot and sour soup have artificial coloring..sweet and sour pork was really good with fried rice and the bbq pork was tender and not fatty. Would come back to try other dishes. Staff are friendly and kept checking on us.“

“Delicious meal and dessert.“
