31 Best Seafood Restaurants in Madison

“We just finished eating at the Madison location, and our host/server Shawn was amazing! Probably the best host/server ever! He was friendly, efficient, and had the best personality with impeccable comedic timing. The food was also top notch, but Shawn really made it a fun experience.“

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

“Me and my family stopped by a day ago. The customer service was amazing. If I remember correctly, our server’s name was Trinity. He was very kind to my grandma . Also, the food was delicious, our server recommended I try the strawberry burrata which was amazing. I would stop by again. Five stars.“

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

“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.“

“So nice to get fish beyond what you can get in a grocery store. They also have a good freezer of various seafood blends if you like to make chowder like I do. I make New England style, Bahamian chowders, saffron stews... All of which benefit from fish and shellfish blends.“

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

“My husband had the pork belly from Jap Chae menu. Tasty, but my order of chicken bulgogi was better. He did not have to cook his. I did - it would have been nice to have more instruction/suggestions as to how to prepare how to use the oils and sauces (I wished my daughter was with us.) The server shared information when asked but this was after the meal. I'd go back again and ask for lettuce leaves to make roll ups (something I saw another table had). But two bottles of Soon Hari (plum jinjo) was very good!!“

“Had an simply amazing family dinner experience celebrating my mother's 90th birthday. The service was outstanding, the food was impeccable....from start to finish, 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩“

“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.“

“God was absolutely amazing! We will definitely be back!“

“We had heard some mixed reviews but dinner last night was perfect! The food was all done exceptionally well and service was fantastic. First time and had a great time. Looking forward to coming back and trying some new things! Salmon and broccolini tasted perfect and my dining partner enjoyed their steak and mashed potatoes. Thank you for the wonderful meal and the servers for being so lovely.“

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

“The food is fine. The staff is great at keeping up on dirty plates and refilling drinks. The place could be cleaner though. The bathrooms are not the best looking and our table had crumbs still on it. There was also food on the seats and floor.“

“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!“

“Muy buena comida y atención !!!“

“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.“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A spectacular experience that feeds both the soul and the palate
​We went to dinner as a family—two adults and two children—and the experience at Nani Restaurant exceeded all expectations. We went in just thinking we’d have a good meal, but our waiter's service completely elevated the evening: he reflected a genuine love for his work and transmitted a peace that truly brightened the place.
​We ordered the duck, and we absolutely loved it. It came with scallions, cucumber, perfectly seasoned shredded meat, and golden, crispy duck. Even though I am not a fan of bread, the buns that accompanied this dish delighted me; they have a different texture and a very special flavor. With this dish and two sides of rice, it was more than enough for the four of us. The atmosphere is incredibly quiet and relaxing. We paid approximately $83 (including the tip, which we gave with absolute pleasure). I highly recommend it!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“I ordered delivery so can’t rate service or atmosphere. The chicken lo mein was really flavorful and they easily accommodated my request to add egg. Though the dish was a little lacking on carrots. The spring rolls could’ve been left to fry a little longer for that nice golden-brown crispness, but overall were delish. (I like to dip them in the Thai Mae Ploy sauce which I had at home). Would definitely order again.“
