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 loved the food and service. We had the Clobster cakes which were so fresh and delish. The greenery that looked liked decor was actually a delicious salad. We continued with the Firecracker pasta with salmon and lobster. So much meat. Everything was seasoned to perfection. I was quite impressed and will be back.“

She has good conversation and pays great attention to the customer. We have never been disappointed with her service. It’s always a pleasure to go somewhere that has good food and good service.“

“Our waiter Devin was friendly. The only negative thing, is the lighting. Or perhaps making the writing on the menu bolder.“

“Todo de este lugar es bueno, y los servicios son excelentes!! La comida de aquí nunca falla, uno de mis lugares favoritos para comer.“

“We went Monday night 10/13/25. Food and service were fantastic. Little hiccup in our order and two managers stopped by. The place is immaculately clean and the color scheme is gorgeous. Top notch“

“Great service and tasty food. Food came out super fast and was fresh and delicious.“

“Great service, great food.“

“The food was great just wish they would’ve gave me full clusters but I guess I got those short clusters because of the discount I was given which really wasn’t a discount because both clusters were both missing two legs a piece definitely wasn’t happy about that. Overall, customer service was great ,kind of long wait time but as for the taste, it was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again.“

“The BEST crab cakes EVER!“

“so amazing! waitress and cook were friendly and courteous!“

“This is probably a new favorite while I’m in Indy. The salmon burger is beautiful charred and well balanced build. No extra sauce just flavor and fulfilling down to the last bite. I hear the soup and fish stew are pretty good as well. Small super clean space with friendly staff.“

“Good food n Good quantity“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ John and I had the absolute pleasure of dining at St. Elmo Steak House for Mother’s Day last year, and it was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The atmosphere felt classic, welcoming, and full of history, which made the evening feel even more special. Our steaks were absolutely incredible — perfectly cooked, flavorful, tender, and honestly some of the best we’ve ever had. You can absolutely tell why St. Elmo’s is so well known. And of course… we have to talk about the famous horseradish cocktail sauce. WOW. It absolutely lives up to the hype. It has the perfect kick and flavor, and it’s one of those things you keep thinking about long after dinner is over. Definitely a must-try experience all on its own. What made the evening even more meaningful was celebrating Mother’s Day there together. Great food always creates memories, and this was one of those dinners we will always look back on fondly. If you’re looking for an amazing steakhouse experience with exceptional food, wonderful service, and a memorable atmosphere, St. Elmo’s is absolutely worth the visit. ❤️“

“good food always cooked freshed...“

“Love Caplingers, but at this location I'm not sure if it's because there isn't a constant stream of customers, or what, the fish sandwich I had was just good, not excellent -- as the ones I've had from their store, and/or from their mobile unit.“

“Made my Aunt Maggie 99th Birthday’s Celebration so wonderful we will be back next year.“

“Oh my! This place is wonderful: the service, the wine recommendation, the food, it was all phenomenal! Great place for a date night or special occasion. We will be back.“

“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“

“In on a work trip from Alabama, and this was by far the best meal we had. One of the best I have ever had. Violet was amazing and so attentive. We shared the Alfredo fries, and I had the fillet and cheesecake for desert. The atmosphere was amazing. She even gave us a tour of the building.“

“My name is Kim Jackson and there was a minor mistake made in my choice of entrées. The last time I was into Red Lobster on Thompson Road however the issue was addressed very well. The waitress name was Quinn and she was amazing. The general manager was even amazing. the atmosphere was wonderful. I will continue going to this Red Lobster even if I have to go over 10 miles to get there thank you all for being such a wonderful restaurant choice.“

“Fun and delicious dinner. My daughter loved the decor and the circular bar. My husband even noticed details of decor like period boxing fights from jimmy Braddock. Famous Shrimp cocktail was delicious and pizza, salmon , salads and sliders were delicious. Wonderful family dinner when we arrived in Indianapolis for first time.“

“This is my favorite Jordan’s location! I’ve never had a bad experience. The food is always fresh and hot, and the service is always good. They have been my go to place for chicken, fish, and gyro forever now! But i have to say, last night they really made a great impression on me. They are fasting for Ramadan as well…when i told him i was too and so excited to break my fast with their food…he included extra drinks, fried okra, and dessert. And even brought the food to my car because i had my daughter with me. You can’t beat that service. It made my day!!
Oh and my nephew loved the chicken so much he refused to eat any other food that was on the table!! 10/10“

“We celebrated my daughter's graduation with family on Sunday afternoon. The server was great and had decorative glitter on the table, and brought a champagne toast and special dessert. But I was most impressed with the care that she took with my other daughter who has numerous food allergies. She took extra care and communicate communicated with the chef multiple times to make sure that they were bringing her food that she could eat. I really appreciated this.“

“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.“

“The service and ambiance was amazing🖤“

“I go to Super Shark Fish & Chicken monthly. I am waited on by the same two guys. My order is always hot & seasoned just right. I always get top notch service and the atmosphere is always good. Want the best seafood, chicken and more in Indy. This is the place. They have been around forever.“

“Athena has excellent customer service skills even under a lot of pressure from the Mother’s Day rush. She made sure that our order was correct, she kept checking on our table to make sure that we were satisfied and our glasses were always full. She continued to apologize for the wait for our food but we totally understood that the restaurant was packed and we were patiently waiting. Thank you for the outstanding service and we look forward to visiting this location again. We hope you have a wonderful evening. Happy Mother’s Day to you and thank you for making our Mother’s Day dinner a success‼️“

“Madison was fab!! She is soo personable and knowledgable!!! Food was delicious!! I highly recommend her and this restaurant!!!“

“Absolutely phenomenal experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm, upscale ambiance that set the tone for an unforgettable night. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance—elegant and modern, yet still comfortable and welcoming. But let’s talk about the food—because wow. Every dish was a masterpiece! Bursting with flavor, beautifully plated, and clearly crafted with top-tier ingredients and serious culinary skill. Each bite was better than the last, and you could tell the kitchen is passionate about what they do. This wasn’t just dinner—it was an experience. If you’re looking for a place that delivers both luxury and soul, this is it. Already counting down the days until I can go back!“

“Fantastic experience at magdalena tonight. Food and cocktails were both outstanding and inventive. Some of things on the menu aren't for me but on the flip side, you can't get things like Turtle Soup anywhere else in the city. I'd recommend it to anybody looking for a great classy dinner.“

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

“Great sushi and wine! Chicken teriyaki and curry chicken taste fabulous. Bonfire and Las Vegas rolls are delicious!“

“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!“
