38 Best Seafood Restaurants near Malvern

“Great customer service and amazing food!“

“So. It's been quite awhile since my family and I have been to Anthony's in Malvern. I have to say that the more they renovate the worse the restaurant becomes. We took my dad there for his 76th birthday. There were 7 of us altogether. My wife kids and grandson arrived first at 5:15. It was not crowded-there were many tables available for seating. The hostess informed my wife that we could not be seated at a table until all of our guests were in the restaurant. We were a bit confused by this since we had never experienced this before at Anthony's or anywhere else. I told the hostess that my father was a minute out-nonetheless, we could not sit at a table until he arrived. Which was baffling due to the fact that there were at least 10 tables open and no wait. The funny thing is we did not ask to sit down-we were informed that we would not be seated until all guests had arrived. When we spoke to the owner after we bein seated-upon the arrival of our one missing guest-he informed us that this has always been the policy and the main reason is to keep the wait staff from having to come back to the table and explain the specials a second time to the late arrivals or have to take a second drink order. Honestly if my server can't take the time to do that-I will not be able to take the time to figure out what 20% is! After this baffling exchange no specials were explained, we were instructed they were written on the first page of the menu. Which is fine by me if I don't know what something is I'll ask. Now I would have been willing to let all this nonsense slide-we don't get a chance to dine out often-but-and this is the truly disappointing part to all of this. The food was not good. At all. In the past, before the place was remodeled-and they added a bar etc etc the food was magnificent. Our service at this visit was excellent minus the bumpy start but somewhere along the path of expansion and remodeling-the quality and quantity of food has been forgotten. It wasn't just myself who thought this either. There were 7 of us and 5 of our clan were not impressed with the food. Enough so that this will be our last trip to Anthony's of Malvern. It wasn't so much about the whole seating "policy". The facts are -we go out to eat on special occasions. Birthdays, anniversaries, we work hard so we deserve a night out, those types of occasions. I/we want to enjoy the food we order to celebrate those occasions. I ordered the raviolis with two meatballs topped with their pink sauce. The raviolis were overcooked, the meatballs tasted as if they were 1/2 bread crumbs and the pink sauce was bland and unsatisfying. We make the Irish version of pink sauce at home by combining 1/2 jar of Alfredo with a 1/2 jar of marinara. It's not great but it is certainly tastier than what I was served last night. As my wife and kids tell me I've lectured too long! Save yourself the hassle and trade in the Anthony's of Malvern for the Anthony's if Downingtown. In a society that puts so much emphasis on the outside beauty of things, the old adage is true. Beauty is only skin deep. Anthony's of Malvern may look spectacular, something on the inside needs mending. To put it nicely. I've only eaten at Olive Garden once or twice for a reason. It's not truly authentic Italian food. I would spend my money and eat there before sitting-not before all my companions arrive mind you- before dining at Anthony's again. They should be done with the seating policy as well as start a remodel on the quality of the food. As I stated in the beginning of this rant-we've eaten there for decades. We will visit the other Anthony's (Downingtown) when it's time to celebrate Italian style time. In the owner's defense-he did give my father a free piece of tiramisu for his birthday-even though he was late. Thanks“

“Well hello world, we went to Chickie’s & Pete’s in Malvern for a quick snack. as all of you know my daughter is super picky and will literally eat nothing on their menu. No fries. Nothing. So me, being the mega prepared mom that I am, brought food with me for Eva to eat. For the first time I was rudely told I wasn’t allowed to bring in outside food, even for my daughter who has autism and some intense sensory issues when it comes to food. To Chelsea who is the totally miserable GM. Get a clue. I brought in a pancake, some yogurt raisins, cheezits and an apple. You don’t sell any of these things or anything even close to things my daughter will eat. I get your policy no outside food. But in this world where 1 in less than 60 kids has a different ability called autism. How dare you be rude to me and my daughter about something like this. She’s 9 years old and has probably gone to a restaurant over a thousand times and this is the first time someone (let alone the GM) has made this into an issue. Shame on you. but I totally get why your restaurant is empty. And don’t think I won’t share this experience with every human I know. At least after you were rude, you ran away, probably ashamed of yourself, our server was kind.“

“We were greeted warmly by the hostess. The interior is fresh and elegant. Tables nicely spaced. We arrived at our table to find rose petals sprinkled across the white linen table cloth. Nice touch. Great cocktails - check. Great appetizers - check. I had the lobster taco. Maybe one of the best tacos I've ever had. Excellent entres - check. Great service - check. We were visited a couple of times to make sure we were pleased. Expensive but worth it! Going back for my birthday.“

“My boyfriend and I went in for dinner and drinks. It was our first time there and everyone was awesome. LeAnn took such good care of us and made our experience even better than expected. The food and drinks were great we will definitely be back!“

“Absolutely hands down the best Steak and Cheese sub and the Italian Hoagie!! Fresh and made to order. I would drive 2 hours to order these subs again. The subs were so delicious and fresh order 2 ex large to bring home! You gotta try! The staff is so nice and welcoming!“

“I’ve had the best experience at Manje Caribbean. I’ve been a customer for awhile and they have not failed me once. I always order the ox tail platter and jerk wings. I can’t get enough! I always order the extra ox gravy and it makes the perfect cuisine!! I’d highly recommend this place for restaurants that serve Jamaican/Caribbean food. They’re the best around!!I’d highly recommend!!!“

“We had reserved a table for 16 for a 21st birthday dinner. They put us in a semi private room, although we were the only party. The service was great, food was hot and good. We went because of the gluten free menu and reviews and it didn't disappoint! Shout out to Brittany! Already booking another event for graduation.Dietary restrictions: Great selection of good gluten free food.“

“First time here with a small group. The restaurant had a positive vibe, the waitstaff were polite, service fast and efficient. The menu was appealing and interesting. I chose the Acapulco Fish Tacos with Mahi Mahi, mango, avocados, greens. They were absolutely delicious. I will be returning to try other amazing menu choices.“

“Wonderful food and service was amazing. Our servers Linda and Brenda were awesome. Will definitely be back. It’s our third time here!!“

“I have never been to Sedona, but it was highly recommended through Facebook friends. When I arrived, I love the atmosphere. It’s clean . I love the vibe. The waitress Adrian went above and beyond for everything. We had an issue with the food that we ordered, not realizing that it contains some things in it and we were able to eat, but they took very good care of us., Will definitely be back!“

“Great food super service and spotless clean“

“Really good dim sum. Not sure about other dishes. Online ordering is super easy. Space is cute, cozy and centrally located. Staff is friendly and helpful too. Only downside is the typical, terrible Phoenixville parking. If you go, will probs have to search for spot, but the food and staff make it worth it. I just wish that they had a pickup area out back or something. Will def be back.Parking: Terrible but not their fault. Could use a designated pick up spot or two.Kid-friendliness: Could be but it's rather tight.Wheelchair accessibility: Kind of accessible. Space is small and things are close.“

“The steak is fine. The sides are mediocre, veggies over cooked. The service is very slow. Our waitress was amazingly sweet, nice, and tries to be attentive but definitely empty drinks, waiting for more, too long between courses. It is very noisy which is fine because it’s a bar but the prices are more upscale dining prices so it’s a little strange. We had a nice time but I’m not sure it’s worth the money. Nothing was necessarily wrong but nothing was that great either to justify the price.“

“We celebrated our 50th anniversary at this particular Chop House in Exton. Excellent service, incredible food, delicious beverages. We ordered appetizers, and specialty drinks, our server Orville was so attentive and definitely knew the menu. The general manager, Maureen stopped by to wish us a happy anniversary and make sure everything was as it should be. The service and food exceeded our expectations, it always does. Maureen seems to be an amazing role model to her staff, she is the manager, but you definitely find her with “hands on”, it’s incredibly obvious how much respect they have for her. Our main entree was prepared perfectly. Dessert was not only perfect in presentation it was delicious! I cannot say enough about this location. From the time you are greeted by the hostess till it’s time to leave, you are made to feel special. Chop House in Exton, Pa you are the BEST!❤️“

“We were so pleased with the mussels bought today. These are plump and delicious and there was only only one that we needed to toss. Over the years, we have found that mussels can be hit or miss, including in restaurants. These were a hit out of the ballpark! And Henry, was knowledgeable and friendly. Well done.“

“Brunch was great. Our waitress Kelly was so nice and attentive. My husband was wearing 76ers gear and the manager Kevin came out to our table with a 76ers hat and jacket for my husband and daughter!!! So very nice of him!! Will absolutely be back for brunch and looking forward to trying dinner. Thank you Ashley’s!“

“My husband and I celebrated his birthday at Dolce Zola. It didn’t disappoint! We enjoyed our pasta dishes. The sauces were delicious and the fresh pasta perfectly prepared. The Caesar salad had a bit too much dressing on it so next time we’ll ask for less. BYOB sealed the deal! We’ll be back!“

“I am so impressed! We ordered takeout and it was absolutely wonderful! The food was well-packaged for the ride home. Everything was delicious; perfectly seasoned and cooked. This is my parents' new favorite restaurant!“

“We’ve officially found our new local gem - The Olive Tree. From the minute we walked in, we felt not only pampered but like we were visiting a family member for dinner. The owners are so hospitable and made our first experience extraordinary. And the food is unbeatable, authentic! We can’t wait to come back!“

“I had my 70 th Birthday in the Wine Cellar! The Food,Service, Atmosphere and our wonderful waitress were phenomenal!! Cheers off to Teca“

“Went to this restaurant for the first time. The decor was so comfortable like sitting in a cozy living room. Lighting was perfect! We had the plank salmon with mashed potatoes and broccoli. I never tasted broccoli so delicious, don't know how it was cooked but it was also outstanding. It was DELICIOUS!! Our waiter Ryan was great! We will be back!“

“What a wonderful restaurant. We got reservations for a special occasion. The service was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. The food was amazing. Each course in the tasting menu was wonderful. The pasta dish was one of the best I've ever had. I actually prefer this over Vedge as it's sometimes difficult to read the menu and foresee how it'll arrive. Tasting menu is a good value, no complaints at all there. Vibe was lively but not too loud. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. FYI you can BYOB your own wine for a $25 corkage fee. We had our favorite French wine. It was a good deal for us.“

“Went on a Sunday to get take out but they don't have take out on Sundays. Wound up buying some cooked lobster meat and top split rolls to make our own lobster roll sandwiches and potato salad. Lobster was cooked properly and tender. The potato salad was good. Service was prompt and friendly.“

“I am so impressed! We ordered takeout and it was absolutely wonderful! The food was well-packaged for the ride home. Everything was delicious; perfectly seasoned and cooked. This is my parents' new favorite restaurant!“

“So sad we didn’t try this place sooner!Happened to be here on a night they offered a tasting menu. Oysters were phenomenal. Lobster Neapolitan and ceviche were very fresh.Connecticut Lobster roll was pretty good, only I read it too quickly and didn’t realize it’s the hot version. I would have preferred the Maines lobster roll. Crème brûlée was good, wished the sugar was well- more caramelized.But hey! this is an oyster place.Come for the oysters!!“

“Wow, fantastic. Perfect temperature of roll versus filling, on the classic roll. Perfect amount of light mayo, with what seems like a house combination of celery seed and some sparing big pretzel salt crystals…. Just perfect munching overlooking the boardwalk, dunes and ocean in Ocean City boardwalk. And the lobster bisque was excellent. With the jumbo sized option on the classic rolls, there was lobster falling out of the sandwich before we could even pick it up. Just excellent.“

“I LOVE BONEFISH GRILL THERE FOOD IS DELICIOUS THE STAFF IS OUTSTANDING YOU WILL NEVER BE DISAPPOINTED WITH BONEFISH GRILL . I RECOMMEND BONEFISH GRILL TO ALL MY FRIENDS 5 STAR RATING“

“Amazing products! I love the smoked olive oil, it makes the food taste incredible. They had a sample of roasted peppers in their smoke oil and it was delicious! I hate roasted peppers normally but with this olive oil I can’t get enough of it! Highly recommend!“

“This is my favorite Chinese restaurant. I have been going there for years . I have nothing but praise for thier food and service“

“Great food and cocktails!“

“I CAME for the MORELS and FIDDLEHEADS, STAYED for the SALMON..I'm a sucker for these Spring foraged treats, so this dish caught my eye while I browsed menus for a special dinner; BIG GLORY BAY SALMON fiddleheads, morel mushroom farro, gooseberries, tarvido, maple tarragon mustard It was a beautiful dish. I regret not taking a picture. Gooseberries are awesome. We were celebrating our 28th anniversary and I noted that while making the reservation. It was sweet that everyone there knew and offered good wishes. I didn't plan on reviewing, but the salmon was SO GOOD, I don't think I could eat in anywhere else ever again. Even my fish hating partner approved. He thoroughly enjoyed his well done filet with a side of the PeeWee potatoes. The generous portions left no room for dessert and I took home the remains of my dish. We're old and like an early dinner on Saturday. So this 4pm reservation was perfect for us. Yes the tables are small. It's an old stone building, but we practically had the place to our selves at this early hour.“

“My first visit to Chucky’s was a great one. Place is awesome. I met Susan working the front counter and she gave me the lowdown on all the products and even got to see my old neighbors from Manayunk food being sold there! Marchianos! She even let me have a little sample of the shrimp salad. Totally amazing. Go here before you go anywhere else for crab cakes, stocks pound cakes, marchianos breads and anything else they have. Amazing food and great people working there!“

“My husband & I celebrated our 41st Wedding Anniversary tonight with dinner at 9 Prime! This was our 4th visit there and each time is even better than the last! We have enjoyed delicious meals with outstanding service in a restaurant whose beauty only gets overshadowed by its fabulous customer service! Upon our arrival tonight, we were asked if we were celebrating anything particular and so we shared about our anniversary. At the completion of our meal, our server (Giuseppe) not only brought out a tray of complimentary macarons, he also brought 2 glasses of champagne AND 2 glasses of ginger ale, noting that he remembered I declined a drink at the beginning of our meal because I just recently went on medication for vertigo! Talk about attention to detail!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to the staff of 9 Prime for making our anniversary a very special night!“

“The best staff, food and drinks. Everyone is so amazing and the food… fantastic! Try the Mayan Tacos! I highly recommend them!“

“We went to slow hand on a very busy night when the bar and kitchen were backed up. Our server, Alex, (who is normally a bartender) was absolutely amazing. He was so personable, checked in on us often, and did anything he could do to help serve us more quickly. We ordered desserts to go, and we left a bit early since one of the desserts was taking a while. Alex chased us down to give us a gift card for the inconvenience. He is awesome and made what could have been a bad night a great one. We will definitely be back ?“

“Great, fresh Mexican food. A variety of items on the menu, so there is something for everyone. Many items are a la carte so it allows you to have a little bit of everything. The new blackberry aguafresca is delicious and refreshing. The carnitas quesadilla is fantastic. I'm not a huge fan of the chips and salsa, but they seem house made. Reasonably priced. Online ordering is easy.Parking: Parking in Phoenixville in general on the weekends is difficult. We usually travel in pairs. The driver drops off sometime to pick up the food and then drive around the block until the person is ready. Not easy, but easier than finding parking.“

“The friendly staff was quick with service. the food was delicious! I was recommended a dish I'd never try on my own and I loved it! Great for the whole family.“
