32 Best Seafood Restaurants in Madison

“Everything was phenomenal, my family and I were very pleased! We tried the catfish appetizers, as well as the cheesecurds and fried pickles….all delicious!! Brisket was absolutely delicious as well as the pulled pork! We will definitely be back when we’re in Madison! Our fave place now“

“Terrific dinner tonight with work colleagues. Delicious dishes and great service.“

“We love all Sal's locations. The downtown space was perfect for our group of hungry parents between shuttling our kids to homecoming events. The food was delicious as always, and the staff was fantastic and welcoming. Thanks so much for great hospitality!“

“Very good seafood boil! Very fresh and great service!!“

“This is one of the few restaurants I've been to in the last 5yrs that I believe deserves 5stars! Went for our anniversary. The sweet little waitress was extremely friendly and accommodating. The waitress and chef even brought out complimentary champagne to help us celebrate our day along with a card and gift card for our next visit! The seafood was reasonably priced and very yummy. The feel of the place is cool, elegant and laid-back somehow all at the same time. Definitely recommend!“

“The seafood combinations at Capitain Frank Seafood Boiler in the Global Market are delicious! We were able to create our own combination with crab legs, mussels, clans, shrimp and so much more. The sides are delicious too, sausage, corn, potatoes, egg, etc. I haven't tried the other dishes yet but looking forward to it.“

“Great experience…everything from the ambiance to the waitstaff to the drinks, appetizers, entree, desserts and coffee were amazing!“

“Amazingly fresh seafood and beautifully done steaks with equally great side dishes, large enough to share! Go early and take advantage of their fabulous happy hour drinks and apps. Always a good time and a local favorite. Top notch service as well. Recommend for a night out, date night or special occasion.“

“There is a good selection of Chinese food, pho, sushi and hibachi. Quality has gone done slightly and there are no longer crabs so less seafood when their signage says seafood. You still get your money's worth for $17.99 not including beverage.“

“Muy rica la comida me gusto todo la verdad y la persona que nos atendió fue muy amable y muy atenta“

“Had an amazing night out at Johnnys. Our waiter Ryan was attentive, kind and so accommodating. He truly made our dinner experience the best. Great recommendations and super friendly. Johnnys is lucky to have him for sure! Delicious food and great cocktails. Will be back soon!“

“As east coast transplants, we always have the searchlight out for great fish and shellfish. We didn't need to look any farther than The Seafood Center. Whatever they don't have at any given time, they can special order for you. We're at the counter around three times per week. Bravo.“

“Their sides are so tasty, even the most devoted carnivores might be caught sneaking a forkful.“

“Food is all around solid. Ordering is table side via qr code and they bring it to your table pretty quickly (~3-5 minutes this visit).

The Apex galbi, bulgogi, and chicken bulgogi are all good. Definitely get some of the vegetables as well, they're a good balance to a very meat heavy meal. Price as of writing is $35 for 90 minutes of all you can eat, so it's not cheap but you can leave as full as you want to. Our server was great in offering us suggestions and bringing out a small sample of the more Korean desserts so we could try them.

Overall a solid recommend but come hungry“

“A top-tier steakhouse with a gourmet menu and pairing options for wine selections.“

“La mejor comodida colombiana en Madison Wisconsin…. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 excelente atención y buenos precios 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴😍😍😍“

“Great steak, even better lobster mac & cheese, which was so delightful after a long day. But I’m telling you whatever you do… Do not let them talk you into getting the A2 steak sauce. They convinced me A2 was better than A1 sauce, it’s not, and then they charged me for it. Beware.“

“Fabulous place, omg the view of the capital is amazing“

“Best Poke in Madison - I keep trying others but none compare. Highly recommend the Hawaii green bowl.“

“I totally love the Singapore Mei fun! The BEST I've ever had. Great service and polite staff. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Tried this spot for the first time today—so good! Every dish our fam ordered was packed with flavor, super affordable, and the service was awesome. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I’ve always loved Muramoto! Can’t go wrong for fantastic sushi!“

“Food and service were excellent. Beautiful decor.“

“For starters, we were treated to an excellent show comprised of two of the best bluesmen in the Midwest, Westside Andy & Glenn Davis. The food was amazing and service was prompt and courteous. I’ve been a restauranteur for over 40 years. Otto’s knocked it out of the park. We will most definitely be returning.“

“Can’t say enough about the quiet, easy, lunch experience for a 83 birthday for a Japanese man who has international experience in Asian cuisine. Free appetizer comes with birthday lunch. He chose barbecued Short ribs with honey sauce and I had one of their 4 buns with a creamy custard center and flaky skin over soft bun. The Peking Duck was the reason we came and it was perfect. Tender duck carved and laid over lettuce with each slice offering the crispy crust so hard to get right while keeping the meat perfect. The platter was decorated with 8 double buns and accompanied by a gallon of savory duck soup with the bones, cabbage, greens, onions and seasoning perfect. I had beef with onions, rice, and shared the soup. The music and service were ideal. It took almost as long to choose from the extensive menu as it did to enjoy the meal.“

“GREAT seafood! The house sauce is delicious and the snow crab legs are always amazing! Only issue I have is they advertise “fried scallops” as an appetizer for $8-$9 dollars, but it’s not actual scallops. The texture, taste and appearance is similar to the Krab (aka pulverized white fish and starch). Which would be IF that’s what actual scallop lovers and seafood eaters were expecting. When brought to the waitresses attention, she simply walked away to get the bill I requested without explanation. All in all, I’ll be back, but I’ll never order the “scallops” again.“

“Muy buena comida y atención !!!“

“Wonderful experience from start to finish. Every detail attended to. Dinner (prime) was delish. The goulash soup was superb. Not rundown at ALL as in previous reviews. Our waitress was phenomenal serving 15 of us. Bar staff very attentive to customers at bar. I highly recommend!! Worth the drive from Milwaukee!! Thank you!!“

“Food is amazing. Always hot and fresh! Best chicken and ribs hands down! Mild Sauce and hand cut fries! The sides are sooo good as well. I have had the dressing, yams, mac n cheese and spaghetti. Also the best catfish I have ever had. The only issue I have when I go there is deciding what to order because everything is so good. Even the next day the chicken and fries are good cold lol! Also they are very friendly. My entire family loves this place we drive from Beaver Dam weekly to eat here!“

“I have Celiac's so I cannot eat here or pretty much at any Chinese restaurant. My husband likes the food and the speed in which your order is ready. Large portions for a decent price. Since it's only a carry out or delivery restaurant, there really isn't an atmosphere.“

“Love Portabella - food, atmosphere and service. The fact that developers from Texas want to tear it down and put up high-rise apartments makes me want to throw up. Call the city of Madison zoning board and tell them you don’t want that restaurant destroyed.“
