50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Brooklyn

“I’ve never done a review before, but me and my partner had an amazing time here tonight. Just stopped by to have a couple drinks and a snack before heading home. The server, I’m not sure of his name but he was a server in the front section by the bar Wednesday around 8pm. He was incredibly knowledgeable of the wine list and knew all the details about the food we were served. The food runner ran thru each item on the food. Just incredible service. The server picked a fantastic wine I wouldn’t usually go for. The atmosphere was fire. Food 10/10. Recently moved to the area and we’ll be regulars now. Couldn’t rate this place higher. Oh and I also want to mention my partner called ahead and didn’t catch the host, but they called her back in like 1 minute and managed to squeeze us in. You’re running a tight ship!“

“Please please please stop coming here all of you folks who don’t care about the care that this place is bringing to you.Make a reservation.Respect the process.This place is gorgeous and is the reason we drink (or the reason drinking is joyful and not just a slow decline).Table side sazerac or martini. Enjoy. Live.TIP THE STAFF! They’re essentially making you a Disneyland level illusion. Not the space which is *chefs kiss* but the movement of the staff. Slow. Intentional. Well educated in past and current manners.Truly this place is special and will stay special if talk show up like you’re in booze church.Put on an outfit goddamnit. Flirt w the bartenders. But don’t interrupt!Be sexy have fun try more absinthe.“

“Great food and staff went above and beyond for a special request. We jokingly asked if they could make onion rings for a friend at our table. We had the best onion rings ever, along with my favorite pork dish in a LONG time. Great night, don’t sleep on Gus’s.“

“Jonnie was our server and amazing! I got 2 tacos and an empanada. The flavors are all outstanding and the seafood is very fresh. They also have homemade salsas which are unique and pack a punch. Definitely a place to come to whether or not you’re “

“Wonderful experience all around. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive. It was very helpful when it came to suggesting pairings. The wine and cocktail list is great. The food was really excellent. I recommend the Amberjack and Hamachi collar. Dessert, we had the mezcal flan. 10s across the board.“

“ngl good food and ambiance, but they charged an extra $10 to my card and never responded to my messages and email (they don’t have a phone number), so be careful and check your card statementsupdate: they got back to me after i wrote this review (1 star), so i’m bumping this back upupdate 2: i went back and wasn’t charged extra, the oysters are solid“

“While the restaurant has closed they are operating as a food truck. Please check their Instagram to see their daily location. Lately they have been in bed stuy.This review is for my visit over the summer. We went on a Sunday and received the following: seafood mac n cheese; hot honey oxtail sliders; blueberry cornbread and the Cater 2 U which has salmon, shrimp and crab cakes. No complaints on the food, the portion size or the customer service. Everyone is always nice. I've only met the male owner during my visits and he is the best! Sad to see the restaurant go but happy to see that they are still making food. Definitely check them out when you can.“

“Everyone is right, the service is very good! All the seafood was large and fresh. Meats were good. Even the drinks were part of the AYCE and I feel like they rarely are at these types of places. Totally worth it! Go early as it gets crowded later at into the evening.“

“Love this place! The sushi is so fresh and tasty. And reasonably priced. Free green tea pudding with Yelp check in! The pudding is topped with a spoonful of sweetened red beans. A delicious dessert! My favorite is salmon and here, it's melt in your mouth fresh and yummy. My favorite dish here is the Salmon Lover. It's salmon four ways plus a side of kani salad with some roe on top. Thick generous portions of sashimi, also has sushi, salmon avocado roll, and a grilled salmon collar (when available, otherwise you get 2 pieces of salmon belly). This place is so good, in one week, I went 3 times and still not tired of it. Not crazy about the chicken kaarage. The pieces are too small so when fried, it becomes dry and loses its juicy tenderness. Tried some skewers. A tad on the dry side. I'd stick with the sushi. Though the skewers were very popular with the kids at the table. Service. Attentive. Tea constantly being refilled. Decor. It's a small place. Lots of wood decor. The space is narrow with seating to the left and right. In front, a few private mini booth rooms covered with a curtain, line the side of the restaurant. These can seat up to 4 people. There is also a small party room downstairs. In the back, you can sit in front of the sushi chefs if you like, at a high counter.“

“A full 5 star review for many reasons! Dim Sum was AMAZING. Buns were filled with meat, airy, hot, and very tasty. The vegetarian in our group ordered dry noodles with vegetables which seems to contain three different types of mushrooms, and tasted heavenly. Tea was hot and filled often. Service was impeccable. GREAT experience. And one of our group is Asian and has high expectations! We can't wait to return.“

“what a sweet little spot! the staff were welcoming and friendly and the restaurant is gorg inside. we came for brunch and had the çilbir to share between 2 people, which comes with several sides. the meal was refreshing, light, and so, so tasty.“

“Pretty good po boys quality wise. I just recommend that they should get some horse radish for the po boys like how it's done in NOLA. I really liked the catfish Po boy, but had to go to the supermarket to get my own horse radish. Sandwich is delicious though, albeit a bit smaller than a hero.“

“Easily one of the best omakase in the city. The otsumami was fantastic, and I really the nigiri. The rice is very unique. Loved the flavor.It’s also a perfect ambiance. High end but relaxed. People talking and laughing. Not the silent / formal vibe you get at some spots in Tokyo and nyc. (Which I always find kinda weird)“

“My favorite ramen joint in New York! Go here on a jazz night if you can, because the ambience with the artists is even more incredible. This is my 3rd time here, and while everything is great, I’d specifically recommend: spicy ramen, spicy tsukemen, oysters mp, and mango kakigori. Between the freshly made noodles and flavorful broths, all of the noodle dishes are the perfect cozy meal. I was pleasantly surprised by the oysters, which came with a yuzu mint vinaigrette that added a bright vibrancy to each oyster. Don’t shy away from getting dessert the end! The shaved ice is a great way to end on a refreshing note without feeling bogged down by sugar. Note that this place fills up quick, so reserve in advance or come early to beat the wait.

“Ok ok so this places looks beautiful service is lack luster for sure you can wear what you want no dress code. Cocktails disgusting can’t lie but I only tried 2 of them the food was good I had short ribs with the collard green pesto it was sooooo good an rib was tender for 30$ it definitely should be atleast 2 ribs on the plate potatoes were good as well 10/10 also oxtail pasta I thought it was disgusting 6/10 the person eating it thought it was delicious so it’s tbd all in all I wouldn’t recommend eating here“

“This is a new level of service & food for 5th Ave. As soon as you walk in the smell is incredible, atmosphere is cozy, clean, classy. . The staff is wonderful, the drinks are delicious & made with love by Rafael. Food is 5 ⭐️. Oysters are fresh, crab cake perfectly paired w/ a light salad, Brussels amazing in a sweet and spicy sauce, high quality steak.“

“This is a magnificent new place by the ocean in Brighton! The kitchen exceeds all expectations! Burgers, solyanka and steaks were especially delicious! I recommend it to everyone. And by the way, they work until one o'clock in the morning!“

“Drove by this place several times. Got invited to celebrate friends birthday and I. Can say it was a good experience. Very quick and friendly service by the staff and the owner. I didnt order anything as my friend did all the guessing work away from me, which was good. The seafood was fresh, very tasty. Enjoyed the crab, shrimps, mussels. They also have a full bar which I couldn't resist. I didn't do mixed drinks but variety for tequila and vodka was outstanding for the place.“

“Okonomi holds such a special spot in my heart. Serving authentic Japanese breakfast sets in a cozy, quaint setting, the food is even more comforting. The service was great, as was the food. The fish was cooked perfectly and the side vegetables/miso soup was delicious. I just love everything about Okonomi and can't wait to go back!“

“awesome food in a stylish renovated building. love the old brick walls in combination with new materials. the food is perfect soulfood to start your day right. especially the whipped Mascarpone with focaccia is just delicious. also the short rib panini comes with an arugula salad with tumeric vinaigrette. gives just the exact kick with acidity and sweetness you need to get an extraordinary flavor. definitely we will come again“

“The people 's brunch spot! Cool crowd, great service and absolutely delicious food for a reasonable price! Our server Hector, was incredible! He took excellent care of us even though the spot was jamming! The drinks were great and they kept them coming! Food was delicious and came out quickly. Overall, this is one of the best brunch spots in Brooklyn!“

“Came here recently for happy hour and they did not disappoint. Bar had great views of the water and drinks were reasonably priced and really good. Margs were consistent every time and decent selection of beers on tap. Will definitely make a point to visit in the summer “

“Yes, yes and more yes! We had a wonderful evening here. It hit all of the elements- ambiance, food and service- out of the park. They were so accommodating towards us. We enjoyed the mussels as a starter just to switch it up. It was a wonderful choice. Bread and sauce were delicious. We tried a number of their signature drinks including the pistachio which was unique and very good. The servers were helpful, personable, kind and of course my favorite- present without being overbearing. The short ribs were delectable with very tasty fries. The steak was perfectly cooked. I was afraid that I would still feel hungry since it was served with just a salad but the balance was perfect and I ended up feeling satisfied. We kept off the night with a sweet touch of soft served vanilla ice cream. A perfect way to end a lovely evening.“

“Honestly, I used to think this place was the bomb. But for those who have never tried Umi Hotpot Sushi and Seafood Buffet, you should. There are different locations of Umi and for about $40 per person there are a variety of seafood options along with other kinds of food. There was a brand new opening of Umi on Staten Island a few weeks ago. Its address is 1001 Goethals Road N. There are fresh oysters, clams, drunken crawfish and regular crawfish, stone crabs, snow crab legs, sushi, lobsters, clams, variety of small dishes, and so much more. It's just not worth the $80 anymore for the crabhouse. A lot of the seafood at the crabhouse is cooked in very heavy sauces and there's just not enough variety of food. $80 is not cheap, when it used to be $55 after the pandemic lockdown. I used to go to the Manhattan location. There's also another Umi location in Sheepshead Bay. I've never been to that one before, but the one on Staten Island is bound to have the freshest food options since it just opened not long ago“

“Right off the bat, the customer service is friendly and upbeat. Which is not the norm at Jamaican restaurants. Everyone knows that lol. So that stands out.The jerk chicken rice and peas oxtail gravy is my go to. Atleast 3 times this week . The portion is plentiful for the price hence why I keep going back . Taste is on point .I also tried there wings . Very flavourful . They have a few selection of flavors , I tasted the honey garlic ??. I plan on trying the rest .“

“what an awesome restaurant! we enjoyed everything we ordered and the service was friendly and quick. beautiful decor too, gives genuine italian vibes. it’s honestly a hidden gem, and i was surprised to see that it wasn’t busy while we were there, but something tells me that’ll change in the summer. will be back again!“

“It’s all about the prawns. Giant, jumbo sized almost as big as a lobster. Buttery, rich, huge grilled prawns.I’ve also had and can recommend:- larb with fried duck skin- rib eye- soft shell crab curryBut again it’s the giant prawn that steals the show. They even have a giant blue prawn in the back of the restaurant hanging from the ceiling. It’s a sign. Get the prawns.“

“We were in town for a day en-route to the Caribbean on the QM2 and discovered this place, and are so pleased we did.Fantastic, friendly and welcoming staff - great atmosphere and quirky.Was a highlight of our holiday to stop by, but most importantly the food.The burgers were to die for, honestly the best I’ve ever tasted! We will definitely make another visit when next in NY, even if we’re not on a cruise. Fantastic choice of beers too.Big well done to all team from some very happy customers from the UK.“

“Tacos El Bronco offers fantastic, authentic food, served by friendly and attentive staff. It is the place at which you will find the locals when the want someone to prepare homemade food for them. It gets better with every subsequent visit!“

“Got to visit this great spot the other night and I was highly impressed. I loved the ambiance of the inside area and I was seated within minutes. The wine list isn't huge, but they have some great options that pair well with the food. I'd recommend the Spicy Salmon Burger - super good with the right amount of spice!“

“Wow! Truly wow’d by this place. New chef Sunny is doing something really great here. The food program is wonderful, we had the Hwe, Spicy Tuna Hand Rolls, and Mochi Cake. The hand rolls are great, tuna delicious! $9 each, so not cheap but definitely a tasty bite. The Hwe was extremely delicious, think of it as Korean poke. The lemon gochujang was very nice, and not overpoweringly spicy. It had a really nice crunch factor as well, everything was definitely well thought out in the dish. We also got their dessert which was told to us by our server, who was great BTW. It was so good!Food fantastic, wine fantastic, service fantastic, music fantastic. I will be back here soon.“

“My girlfriend and I stopped by Fire Kabob and WOW! This place is great! Clean dining area and SUPER friendly staff. We ordered 2 plates, chicken and Lamb and then a side of eggplant burani. The food is fresh and delicious! The rice and homemade sauces are excellent. It also came with a side of bread and salad. Can't wait to try out all their other items, we will definitely be back. I would post pics but we scarfed down every bit of it. It's a must try! Chicken and Lamb - Tender and cooked perfect. Eggplant Burani - a must try, unlike anything I have ever tried. Rice - seasoned perfect and you get a lot of it. Def try the sauces that come with it.“

“I rarely eat Chinese food at a restaurant it’s usually takeout. However, on Saturday after shopping and the heavy rain we decided to stop in bay ridge and we decided for a change instead of Italian and I’m glad we did because the food was delicious the manager and all the staff were very friendly and accommodating I will definitely be going back the atmosphere was friendly and very warm I really enjoyed the experienceKid-friendliness: I didn’t have children but there were many families with children fascinated with the large fish tank with big fish“

“Stopped in for a light meal before a concert. Multiple seating options from bar, shared tables, counter, booth, tables - in solarium, dining room, or bar settings. Pleasant vibe throughout. Chose the bar and was well taken care of by a great, professional bartender. I whiffed on my wine choice but the food was enjoyable. I'll have to come back to try other vintages when I can stay longer.“

“The food was so delicious. We really enjoyed it. The service was great. Price is average but we had little problem went there with my kids as fam. A group were having bday dinner and they were very loud couldn’t even hear ourselves during the dinner because everyone was laughing talking so loud. I don’t know how they could handle this kind of problem but still worth to taste delicious foods.Kid-friendliness: Got highchairs“

“One of my favourite South-Asian restaurants in NYC. I’ve been coming here for years. The goat curry is always excellent, as are the momos, chicken thali and dal, and it’s so reasonably priced compared to other restaurants in this area. The staff were also very attentive and helpful. I highly recommend this place.“

“What an amazing dinner we were participating in. It started with a flower that exploded our taste buds through all the variety of sea creatures and sea plants prepared various ways to a light but scrumptious bread pudding and ice cream made with 3 waters. All the dishes were presented like works of art accompanied in artistic dishes. It was most definitely a wild to table experience. Highly recommend. (only allowed 10 photos. There was a total 13 servings of food and 2 drinks)“

“My experience was the best. I always order online but i came in store tonight and I must say I’m very happy I did. Amarie is the best! Keep her ! Her customer service is A1. Also Shevaun was very helpful in helping us choose our food. You have a great team. Thank you and keep up the good work. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Flavors that can only be melded together by a professionally trained chef, plating that is exquisite an amazing epicurean journey!The staff is knowledgeable, personable and professional.This is definitely a unique experience and a unicorn in the kosher culinary world.“

“At the BK Seafood Market, I had the most incredible dining experience. Their seafood was unbelievably fresh, and the highlight of the meal was definitely the Toronto Tower with the fried king crab. Each bite was bursting with flavor, making it a truly unforgettable dish.What's more, the staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional.While the prices may be on the higher side, the quality of the food and the overall experience made it worth every penny.If you're looking for a seafood experience like no other, I highly recommend splurging on a meal at BK Seafood Market.“

“Amazing! They were out of the jerk chicken empanadas when I ordered online late in the day, so the super nice owner gave me two salmon ones after calling to inform me and asking about substitutes. I got the sweet chili hot wings and they were so good! Made to order and super fresh and flavorful. The mac and cheese was also great.“

“Welcoming our best friends from Virginia at Pilot was a fantastic experience. The vintage boat on Pier 6 offered a charming setting, and the seafood, especially the oysters, was a hit. With a variety of wines and cocktails to choose from, we enjoyed a delightful evening. The added bonus of a downtown Manhattan view enhanced the overall atmosphere.Just a heads up for friends prone to seasickness - the boat's gentle sway is part of the adventure. Pilot is more than a bar; it's a perfect blend of good company, delicious food, and a unique maritime experience.“

“Meze is a great go-to neighborhood eatery! I've been coming here for 2 years now, and it never disappoints. Every dish is delicious and hearty, so there's no wrong choice. The service and ambiance are also top-tier. Highly recommended!!“

“I ordered delivery for lunch and the Combo Platter included fried Cod (2), Whiting (2) Fish and 6 Shrimps was an unexpected surprise for $21.00. Lunch arrived in extremely well wrapped sustainable card board boxes and it was hot when I took the container out the bag. The Cod fish and Whiting fish were crispy, that's important to me. I like fried fish however I do not like it "hard" fried which means to me it can arrive hard or even burned. I've had that experience in the past but not at that restaurant, this fish was crispy and light. The shrimps were also crispy, large, and seasoned well. The Olde Bay French Fries were just as tangy as it sounds. Great condiments at your request. No pics because I was at work trying to make all this flow within 45-30 minutes, definitely worth it. I found a small neighborhood business, extremely convenient, and delivers a great lunch via the Yelp app on those days when you can't get out of the office. I heard they not only cook fresh fish, but they also sell fresh fish. I'm looking forward to visiting soon.“

“I’ve been wanting to visit for months and I’m so glad I finally did!! My friends and I had a blast and were blown away by the food! I mean every single thing we ordered was incredible. I literally made another reservation for the weekend while I was still finishing my dinner! ? Go get your your life and support an amazing local black-owned business ??“

“This is one of the best restaurants. There is not 1 person there who is no very attentive. I've had the waitress Erica twice and she is the most amazing waitress I've ever had. I was so glad to be sitting at her station tonight. I will definitely return there and I will tell my friends and family to go there!!! Thank you Erica and Chadwicks!!“

“when i came here gustavo was very nice, very accommodating & made my dine in a wonderful time. when you come here make sure hes there! ill definitely be coming back again & again & again! food was seasoned perfectly, the all you can eat was AMAZING. strawberry margarita was top notch! id highly recommend!!!!!“

“Food is good but they don’t honor reservations. Made a reservation for my mom’s bday specifically so it would be seamless for a 70 year old, but after checking in, I was told it would be 30 minutes. What’s the point of accepting reservations when it won’t be honored?“

“Come for the spritz, stay for the great wine selection and food. Pips is a gem that feels like a local yet cool hang out with the bonus of delicious food. Highly recommend. It's from the same team as Colonie so you can trust the whole experience- food and service.“

“Great Culinary experience my friends and I stopped by randomly because we were in the area. To be honest we were pleasantly surprised the drinks were tasty and sturdy shoutout to Owen the bartender. The food came out in great time and was tasty. I would recommend the honey garlic wings, Doubles and curry snapper. But what made our visit Great was that the Chef / owner Calvin came out and had a conversation with us and made us feel at home.10 out of 10“
