50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Indianapolis

“We recommend Salt on Mass for its incredible consistency. The experience is always welcoming and forever delicious. My husband David treated us to a delightful dining experience for Valentine's Day Eve. (I love dining "off holiday" for a more peaceful pace.) We've dined at Salt on Mass many times and continue to be thrilled with our experience. We reserved through Open Table and were seated immediately with our on-time arrival. I love a table with a view of the room's comings and goings, so #41 was ideal, again. We were welcomed by our server Ryan, who explained he was also our bartender. (Love it - special insights on cocktails and wines.) He served us well, attentive but not too much so, and we loved his creative chocolate martini as our "appetizer." :-) We chose our dinner favorites - Chilean Sea Bass with delectable risotto for David and Salmon with expertly grilled asparagus for me. The portions remain appropriately generous, so we split the Key-Lime Chiffon Cake for dessert. Congratulations Johnny and crew for delivering another memory-making visit. Each one leaves us craving the next! Here's to you all! Sincerely satisfied, Garnet and David 2-13-25“

I can't seem to get away from the filet which is as good as the downtown steak houses. Desert shots are perfect. Our favorite restaurant, hands down!“

“Dude, I think this is the best spot for chicken in Indiana, no cap. 😋🐔💯 Even though I live up north near Chicago, I always hit this place up when I'm in Indy and need some fried chicken, fries, fish, or catfish. 🍗🍟🐟 The chicken is seriously good and clean. ✨🌟👍 I've seen some other places where they don't keep the oil clean, but the owner here cleans it every day. 🧽🧼💯 Plus, the staff and the manager, Hesham, are always super friendly and helpful. 😊🤝🌟“

“Absolutely love this place.The pizza is delicious.Perfectly baked crust, generous toppings, and just the right amount of cheese and sauce. You can tell they use fresh ingredients, and everything tastes homemade in the best way. The staff is friendly and quick. Definitely my go-to pizza spot — highly recommend“

“We had what may very well have been the most extraordinary dining experience in our 15+ years living in Indianapolis, thanks to the unmatched hospitality of Sean. He is, without question, the best server we have ever had. His attention to detail, warmth, and genuine care elevated an already phenomenal evening into something truly memorable. From the moment we sat down, everything was flawless. We began with oysters and the French onion soup. Do not skip the soup—it is a masterpiece in a bowl. The Chateaubriand arrived perfectly prepared, accompanied by impossibly good fries and glazed carrots that were simply next level. And just when we thought it could not get any better, the chocolate cake arrived. Rich, decadent, and absolutely unforgettable. Geraldine’s is a gem. But it was Sean who turned our night into something we will be talking about for years. We cannot wait to return, and we will be asking for Sean by name.“

“Upon arrival, we waited 15 minutes past our reservation time. The hostesses we were rude and could be heard complaining about others while we stood waiting for our table. Once seated, the service was fantastic. Our server, Rob, was professional, attentive, and made our experience memorable. His drink and dinner recommendations did not disappoint. We will definitely be back!“

“The food and service was absolutely amazing! We definitely will be returning!“

““The food here is really good an Indianapolis classic, right next to that China Wok. I usually get the fish perch combo with hot sauce and mild, plus some tartar, and man, does this food hit! Comes out hot and is fire for the price.”

“First time for my wife and myself, what a great experience!“

“Just a nice place and good service“

“Ordered Kitchen sink. Fish, Clams, shrimp and crab cake were incredibly delicious. I had an issue with the 4 percent discount for cash not being honored. I got a business card from them and emailed as soon as I got home.

They replied quickly and escalated to someone higher up and was asked to call. Spoke to Molly Caplinger for 16 minutes and she was so nice, professional and understanding. Sent me a gift card for my troubles and appreciated me bringing the issue to their attention. I will be back! This is how you do business right!!“

“Beautiful experience last night here for our wedding anniversary. Staff was so friendly and accommodating. I had the chef’s tasting menu which was amazing. Thank you all for a fun night and amazing food! We will be back!“

“Una chulada están super las chelas y la comida está super like“

“Although the servers are supposed to be rude, the interactions were much more toned down than I expected. The interior decorations were more surprising...Overall, it's a good experience. Finding a parking space was more of a nightmare compared to the service, especially when I was visiting on the weekend with events happening nearby.“

“The service and ambiance was amazing🖤“

“We had a private event there and I can’t say enough good about the service on the night of the event. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone’s meal was perfect. The service was to the level I have had at the finest of restaurants. Now, was it difficult to get through their phone system (yes) but that has nothing to do with the staff. I am over the top pleased with the staff, food, price and service.“
