34 Best Seafood Restaurants near Monona

“We love Fratteli’s; have been several times. The restaurant industry is so hit or miss these days but Fratteli’s never disappoints! Tonight, we had the owner as our server (unknown until the end of our meal when we asked). He mentioned making the dessert himself! Banana bread pudding.. so yummy! Everything was fantastic! And both our entrees were completely homemade. Highly recommend!“

“Great food, good price. We will definitely go back. Everything was delicious.“

“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!“

“We went to Indian Curry House yesterday for lunch and the three of us each ordered something different but we tried each other's dishes and all were so outstanding! The lamb was so tender, shrimp was large and succulent. The chicken was moist and tender. All the seasonings used were very flavorful! The service was fast and the owners were very kind! We definitely plan on returning when we are in the area.“

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

“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“

“Best prime rib I’ve had in years waitress was awesome. I look forward to going back.“

“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“

“We very much enjoyed our meal 4-2025 I'd go there again.“

“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.“

“The prime rib was as good as you get to night. It was a real high quality piece of beef cooked to perfection. I'll be back.“

“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 am not a regular customer of this establishment, but normally received decent service when I do order until today. I always get the same thing and don't necessarily stray away from my normal order when I do come here. I would order a 6 piece chicken/6 piece fish combo which comes with fries and drink and add our own condiments. The meal normally comes out to $21.99 and with taxes $23.20. But I was charged $25 and some change. The price didn't sounded right and asked for a breakdown in charges. The cashier proceed to show me the cash register to demonstrate no errors occurred. But it shows the original amount of $23.20 (normal price with taxes as original stated). The cashier claim that price shown is the price only for the chicken, then proceeded in trying to convince me that because I wanted a combo meal (fries and drink) that an additional $2.00 will be added. I needed to double check my transaction history and statement to reconfirm the details, where I confirmed that I paid $23.50 in the past. I do not like shady business practices in which businesses are taking advantage and over charging minorities who are primarily black customers because these types of restaurants are in black communities. I noticed that recently received PPP with an upward of $9500 for their business. If you choose to continue going to this place, please get a receipt and ask questions and advocate for yourself. It isn't right when minorities have been heavy impacted by the pandemic with health and financially.“

“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.“
