50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Seattle

“The atmosphere is superb! I love the heathy option. Remember your input matters. You cannot expect same output (outcome) when you are putting bad inputs. Self-care by eating healthy food option. This is a place for those who take their body seriously. The staffs tend to be busy but it is worth the wait. I can see that they really do care about the food and its service. Btw I even saw @spencerhawes NBA player order here. Which means foods are good here. Sport players know what tastes good! Come and taste!“

“Always amazing! The atmosphere, the service, the food. My favorite place in the area.“

“After having been to Driftwood twelve times I can confidently say it’s the only restaurant in Seattle worth dining at.  Lots of places make claims about freshness and local ingredients, but chef Dan Mallahan shops at the Farmers Market two days a week. It’s not a joke or a gimmick. If you want to eat food grown exclusively in Washington State, that tastes real, then Driftwood is the spot. They serve tomatoes that actually have flavor, delicious veggie dishes, and meat and fish that are tender and juicy. They combine so many flavors in a subtle harmony making each bite you take delightful. Not to mention the killer cocktails.  The vibe is beautiful but chill. The staff are lovely and kind. Everything about Driftwood is real. The food, the people, even the hand towels in the bathroom.  Concerned about prices at a farm-to-table restaurant and getting enough to eat? Go with a friend and share two starters and a main. For example, I just had the Olsen Farm Kennebec JoJos, the Piece by Piece Farm Tempura Delicata squash, and the Butcher’s Cut Pork Chop. Yum!“

“Their food is some of the best in Seattle. If you haven’t been there, you need to go and experience 84 Yesler. On par with the finest dining around.“

“Seafood is fresh … amazing views 👌🏼“

“Great Service! Was welcomed immediately by bartender Dawn. Very charming and excellent explaining oyster selections. She kept on top of my orders. The happy hour choice of oyster was beyond what I expected! Big, ytasty. I’m a very picky oyster-ess! St. Louis, Mo. is not known for seafood AT ALL. Expensive and just “blah.” Definitely coming back and recommending to oyster loving friends!“

“Delicious food, good service and a beautiful view“

“This amazing establishment provided chowder & bisque for the Classic Yacht Association's Bell Harbor Rendezvous over this last Fathers' Day weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed luscious bowls of absolute scrumptiousness, and appreciated their courteous, kind, and professional staff. Thank you!!! Highly recommend!“

“I can honestly say that I have never had fresher and tastier fish and chips than I found at Sunfish. The staff was friendly, service was faster than expected, and the price was affordable. I plan to stop here whenever I am in the area, 5/5“

“Absolutely fantastic food as well as service!!“

“My cousin and her husband brought us here for lunch. The clam chowder was raved about as were the haddock and chips and tempera prawns!“

“Great food and service! 🦞“

“Seafood is fresh … amazing views 👌🏼“

“Love this place. Been going here for years.“

“Wonderful service and the food is absolutely delicious. Prepare for a possible wait if you don’t have reservations but go next door and enjoy an incredible cocktail while you wait. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Aqua el Goucho James Bushart, General Manager, warmly greeted us as we stepped into his incredible restaurant. He went out of his way to ensure our small group had a memorable experience, from the perfect table, to the numerous great recommendations on the menu. It was refreshing to watch the kitchen staff laugh and enjoy preparing meals. A sign of a great restaurant is a happy, cohesive staff. Our waitress, Natalie, was a joy. Such a sparkling personality and very, very attentive. She ensured everything was perfect. Their Sommelier, Jim, did not disappoint. His wine list is outstanding and featured several very hard to find varietals that we anxiously tried. The food was prepared perfectly; everything was simply over the top! Our group tried a variety from the menu, delicious seafood, steak, and tasty sides. The sea bass, lobster, salmon, scallops were fabulous and left you wanting more. And, the steaks were delicious - prepared perfect. Side dishes were magnificent with the same attention to detail as the main courses, incredible. If you ever get the opportunity to dine at this fine establishment, ask about the Copper River Salmon. Chef prepares this wonderful fish to perfection! We look forward to dining here again on our next trip through Seattle. Huge thanks to the entire Aqua el Goucho Team for a great dining experience!“

“Growing up in North Seattle this was a great place to grab lunch and now decades later and having moved away this is always a stop on my visits- great chowder, solid fish especially the salmon and what flies under the radar is the coleslaw which is oil based and not gross mayo based. Great views from outside on a nice day“

“Really special dining experience, quaint and modern yet historic and easy going. Top quality oysters and straightforward beverage menu. Taylor Shellfish Farms has exactly what you are looking for in a high end shuck house.“

“Amazing food and staff was great!“

“I love Sushi Kappo Tamura and Taichi!! I have a hard time eating sushi anywhere else.“

“When I'm craving delicious clams, this is my go-to spot!“

“I will definitely recommend Happy Crab. Was invited to Happy Crab for casual business lunch today. When I first see its Signature name, I knew it couldn’t be wrong. I love their decoration and sea views. Very romantic and elegant restaurant. The food was served quick and all flavors are delicious as well as creative. It is lucky to get the chance to meet the owner Lily, she has great personality. Great smile, being honest & adorable. I admire what Happy Crab said: Life is a journey, happiness is a choice, and every meal is a celebration. I wish every guest is happy in Happy Crab.“

“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!“

“Everything Delicioussssssss 😍😍😍“

“Noah made our first experience here unbeatable. He explained everything well, lighthearted, and provided tons of entertainment. I really enjoyed his attitude and felt he brought the experience up a level. This is in addition to the good food and available options. Very delicious and great atmosphere as well, I was really impressed with the decoration. But Noah really stole the show. Cheers Noah!“

“Best Salmon EVER!!!! And what a fun crew working there too!!!! These folks can cook, I HIGHLY recommend the Salmon and coleslaw!!! Next time I’m up in Seattle, I’m definitely going back to them!“

“My daughter and I were there Jan. 3 around 1pm. We ordered the Alaskan wild fish and chips with mango habanero sauce and the shrimp basket with ol’bay aioli. We didn’t wait for our food long and there were plenty of tables. The food was absolutely superb and the portions were literally perfect! 🧑‍🍳 💋 We left the armory extremely satisfied and still thinking about our meal! A THANK YOU to the chef who took and cooked our order! Well done Matt’s Fish! Your people and food are why we will definitely be back!“

“Great experience on a first time visit. Attractive bar and dining area w nice music selection. Shared their burger with fries. Excellent. Had very nice glass of red wine. Was served complimentary dessert of coconut sorbet which was great. Menu had many interesting selections which i look forward to trying. Service was excellent.“

“Lunch at Duke’s today. Our waitperson, Andrea, was terrific.“

“My husband and I had the bacon burger, fries, onion rings, and chocolate-peanut butter milkshakes. Everything was FANTASTIC! The burger sauce was amazing, it's smokey instead of tangy, and really went well with the bacon and grilled onion on the burgers. The fries were really crunchy and well-seasoned, and the milkshake was make with real ice cream. The guy in the kitchen came out and I complimented his burger sauce, so he gave me a couple of small containers to take home with me! I don't make it to this area often, but I am absolutely coming back here the next time I do.“

“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.“

“Excellent service and food!!!“

“Sat in the table service area on the second floor hoping for a window view. We were just reading the menu when the host came over and moved us to a table on the water side. Lunch with a view is a great way to enjoy lunch.“

“i always stop first at jack’s to get a bite before i shop. good folk, good food.“

“This amazing establishment provided chowder & bisque for the Classic Yacht Association's Bell Harbor Rendezvous over this last Fathers' Day weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed luscious bowls of absolute scrumptiousness, and appreciated their courteous, kind, and professional staff. Thank you!!! Highly recommend!“

“Wow, what a dinner! We started off with calamari that was crisp, light, and just delicious — a perfect kickoff. Then the brussels sprouts came out, and honestly, I’ve never had sprouts like that before. Crispy, flavorful, basically perfect. And the steak? Cooked to perfection and absolutely mouthwatering. Everything was just spot on. The service made it even better — attentive, friendly, and relaxed. It felt like one of those meals where every course hits and leaves you smiling. We left completely satisfied, happy, and already making mental notes for our next visit. Big thanks to the team for making it such a memorable dinner — from appetizers to mains, everything was a total home run.“

“had the captains platter again did not disappoint.yummy“

“The best fresh and the flavor is super good delicious!!! Great service our family love them ���“

“As a hotel-affiliated bar, it completely lowers the brand image. Traditional Western food is not well done, and fusion is also a mess. The appetizer should be refreshing and creative, but unfortunately I don't buy this tuna taco. The taco part is like a sesame crisp with too much sugar, which is very sticky. Another steamed clams is very salty, not fresh, not fragrant, and not paired with bread. The main course is shocking! Don't make the halibut too old, and it has no taste! It feels like I can do it (a disparagement of the restaurant) pp spicy review: The fish is like the top student of the Group Project, and it has played its own level, so it will only feel average. But the rice is carried away in it, and it is even better. The best part of my seafood ragu is the garlic butter bread. The quality of the fish is good, and the scallops are tender and big. But the tomato sauce is completely uncreative, salty and ordinary The baked brulee cheesecake with too much vanilla extract is suffocating, and the caramel crispy crust on top completely suppresses the mellow cheese flavor. The chocolate mousse was rich and delicious, but the milk-like stuff on the top had some grains and was not stirred well. No next time!“

“Everett Ivars Seafood is Clean and professional staff. 5 star“

“excellent food great service“

“Lovely place to explore the waters and old piers now converted to many tourist places but also many good restaurants.. good for kids esp the Seattle Aquarium and the Seattle Great wheel. Lots of space to watch the ferries and sunset!! Enjoy“

“Everett Ivars Seafood is Clean and professional staff. 5 star“

“Went there once and truly loved everything about it.“

“There's a beautiful mural on the outside of the building. The company owns commercial fishing ships that fish the waters of Alaska for much of the year. Fish payload is offloaded in Alaska and the ships do not return until winter. This allows the docks to also be used for loading passengers on cruise ships. Otherwise, the area is not open to the public.“

“西雅图的美食，或许来西雅图可以尝试城市“

“If you can snag a reservation here, do it — but honestly, even if you can’t, they hold a few tables each night for walk-ins, and it’s so worth the wait. The Pink Door is one of those rare places that’s somehow both trendy and timeless. Every corner feels thoughtfully curated — chic, eclectic, and a little bit artsy — and when the live music starts, it’s pure magic. We were lucky enough to be seated in the back dining room overlooking the Ferris wheel and the Salish Sea, and the view alone could’ve made the night. But then came the food — and wow. From the appetizers to the pappardelle pasta and rabbit (plus alllll the bread), everything was beyond delicious. Huge shoutout to our server, Jeannie, who was amazing — warm, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. We left already planning our next visit. This place is beautiful, delicious, and full of charm. We’ll definitely be back!“

“This place is super yummy. It is a casual restaurant where you order at the counter and then sit wherever you like. They have a large selection of seafood plates and a variety of sides. My food was fried perfectly and fresh. There is also all the sauces you would need and lemons. I highly recommend checking this place out if you want affordable yummy seafood.“

“Absolutely charming little spot serving fresh, perfectly seasoned dishes that are sure to please. Excellent and knowledgeable staff can make recommendations from the ever-changing menu based on your tastes, and it's easy to have almost any dish modified to be vegetarian or vegan. Perusing the tasting notes on the wine wall is a nice way to pass the time - great prices on the take-home bottles. If you're on a budget (and I usually am), grab a snack or two. Otherwise, try a little of everything!“
