50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Swansea

“My friend discovered The Aviary several years ago. We meet here often because the food, atmosphere and service are wonderful! We have never had an off experience- not once- and we have probably had lunch or brunch here over 20 times. We always recommend it.“

“Food is absolutely amazing!!! Mash potatoes are flavorful. Chicken and steak cooked to perfection!! Front of the house very slow :/ I'm we got our appetizer before our drinks! We got our side salad with our meal.. ( didn't know what to eat first). Our wait wasn't long, which was very nice. Location is perfect :)“

“Incredibly delicious old-school seafood cafe, basic seating, super friendly staff. But the food was incredibly outstanding. Try it once, and you'll make it a habit.Wheelchair accessibility: Staff even deliver to elderly/handicap waiting in cars outside“

“Good quality delicious food & excellent service. We had to reserve before arriving & the restaurant was full. The thing is the restaurant seating is small & compact which makes it hard to carry good conversation. Glass windows around where some diners can see the water.“

“This joint is a hole in the wall- solid fresh food, cooked to perfection. Seafood at its finest for a reasonable price and huge portions. Staff is extremely nice, food is nicely packed. Must get seafood dishes!! Fried or broiled crab, shrimp, clams, you name it. Did I mention? You can easily miss this place? But don't miss it!“

“Wonderful birthday dinner for my son this evening at this family run place which has been there for many years but was my first visit.We were a family of six and had such a relaxing, fun time.The atmosphere is cozy and attractive.Delicious food, made with love and care, huge portions, an especially good value on the prix fixe mid-week menu. Best fried clams I have had in years.Excellent service, especially from Julie who took good care of us.What a find! We’ll be back soon.“

“Shout out to Ivy and Mandy who made the four of us feel welcome as walk-in this evening. We are doing a Girls Weekend in Little Compton and after a day of shopping in Newport, needed some sustenance. Jade was our awesome server and had great recommendations and went that extra bit to make our meal special. All our entrees were terrific (salmon, swordfish, steak frites and mussels). Thank you!!!“

“You can't go wrong with either out for dinner or out for a good time and listen to a live band. The food is above the rest. The service is second to none. The bands are all talented and diverse. The only objective is the bright lighting during dinner. Otherwise, you'll find that you will be back soon for more. Friendly people wall to wall. Reasonably priced menu, with many drink and food specials. Awesome time always. Delicious ?Parking: If you have to park a block away... it's soo worth the walk !!!“

“After the funeral, our family had a gathering. The locations scenery was fantastic. Great location for a wedding. Food was old-fashioned, and not the best. The servers were very friendly and accommodating. This has been my families go to for years when it comes to small family gatherings.“

“Comfortable, airy, and easy going environment Able to view the chef creating the most delish, fresh foods. The variety of labeled oysters were all cold, clean, and fresh. The clam chowder was flavorful, and bountiful with melt in you mouth clams. Service was on point from start to finish!“

“This place is so awesome! I’ve lived in New England area since 2018. I now go daily and I have never met finer folks. The patrons that are loyal, the weekenders and the folks that work there! Food is especially incredible…as a business owner you see the importance of folks feeling so welcome! Thank you John, Ann Marie, Al, Susan, Liz, Jen, Ian…you guys are awesome!“

“So many Portuguese restaurants in Fall River... it's hard to know where to go! Well, T A Restaurant is a pretty solid option. Compared to some of the other spots I've been to in town, the ambiance was on the nicer/more modern side. They've got plenty of choices in terms of Meat & Poultry and Seafood. Our waitress was really nice and helped me decide on a dairy-free dish. My friend and I both opted for seafood. I got the Bacalhua a Casa (shredded codfish) and my friend got the Bacalhua Assado (salted cod). To be honest, I found my fish to be a bit overcooked, but I'm not sure if that's just because the fish was shredded. I tried a bite of the salted cod and the cook on that was perfect. The plating is also really nice, so I'd recommend for anyone looking for a bit of a more upscale dining experience.“

“Had the best first time here on Easter Sundaymy family. We had no reservations and were still able to get seated and have an amazing meal. Oysters are fresh and delicious and my fave was the seafood casserole. So good! The best part of our day was the service provided by Rowen. She was so attentive and provided great menu recommendations. Can’t wait to be back!“

“Ok was a little nervous the last two times I went BUT this time I picked up the reasonably priced seafood platter and it was literal perfection. Everything was fried perfectly, still crunchy when it got home and huge portion. For 39.00 it’s a big value. Could easily feed 2-3 people. Fresh and delicious. Well done guys. Keep it up.“

“Digging BLOUNT CLAM CHOWDER - from all the way across the U.S.A. Their chowder made the trip from Rhode Island to a WHOLE FOODS MARKET here in West Los Angeles. That's where we grabbed it from the shelf. The expiration date stamped on the container was MAY 2024. We bought it in February. How is that possible? Here's how: the container it comes in is merely a container for another container...a rugged fully-sealed plastic bag that contains your chowder. From where I'm sittin', that's a genius play. You prevent food from wasting on the shelf, you ensure that it stays fresh and you ensure that it tastes the way was meant to from Blount's loving hands. Our chowder (for 2) was the perfect amount (1 Quart) with a hefty bunch'a clams and flavorful potatoes with a thick and creamy base that felt like old New England to me. To be able to enjoy that - right here on our sunny patio in West L.A. - magical. The description says they've been in business for over 125 years. It also says they make a mean bisque... All over THAT!“

“I wanted fresh halibut today so headed over to Tiverton today. I was disappointed they were out of halibut but happy I was told there was more coming tomorrow. The gentleman (I’m sorry I didn’t get his name) asked me how I planned to cook and serve the fish and with that information he suggested swordfish steaks and recommended foil on the grill to keep the juices in. Grilled swordfish with mango salsa—was absolutely delicious and the fish melted in your mouth. We cooked way more than we could eat, so our dogs got a warm treat with their kibble tonight and they licked their bowls clean.Highly recommend!!“

“Very good homemade ice cream, nice seating area and friendly service. We have been visiting Uncle Ed's for over 10 years and just consistently great. Ice menu changes often, always a chance to try new flavors. Has added seafood in recent years. Review is only for ice cream“

“Bottom line: a delightful French bistro with absolutely delicious food, a casual, cozy vibe, and an excellent value. Something different in the East Bay. An underappreciated gem.We’ve been going to Le Central for a few years and recently rediscovered just how good it is. The vibe is French bistro, complete with black and white checkerboard floors. It’s casual, relaxed, and cozy. It feels like French comfort food.The menu is thoughtful and amazing for how truly delicious the offerings are. It’s a ‘who’s who’ of some of the best French dishes, without pretense or weirdness (no snails or frogs legs). Starting with the table bread, half of a baguette, perfectly toasted and partly sliced, with soft butter and some olives on the side.The onion soup is full of melted Guryere cheese, caramelized onions, rich beef stock, and toasted baguette slices, served in a ramekin. It’s perfect and utterly irresistible. Pair it with a salad and it’s a meal.The Salad Nicoise has perfectly cooked green beans, roasted fingerling potatoes with butter and parsley, roasted red peppers, a bed of arugula, a nice filet of perfectly poached salmon, and a mouth-watering lemon-caper compote. It’s hearty enough as a main course for lunch or dinner, and is deliciously satisfying (and I’m not usually a salad person).The hamburger might be one of the best you’ll have. A hand formed patty of organic beef on a toasted Brioche bun, served simply with tomato and lettuce, cheese (cheddar, Guryere, or Roquefort) and applewood smoked bacon optional, and a side of ultra-thin and super-crisp potato frites (too good to be called mere ‘French fries’). We love burgers, and both think this is hands-down the best we’ve had in the area (it’s the spiritual opposite of Chomp burgers which are excellent in their own right but very different with many heavy, spicy additives that make for a ‘wet’ burger). Le Central’s hamburger stands on its own simply with the highest quality ingredients prepared perfectly (like the rest of the food).Coq au Vin (chicken with wine) was a revelation. A half of a Cornish game hen (breast, leg, and thigh), braised in burgundy wine, served in a crock brimming with mushrooms, sauteed onions, and bacon, in a rich, thick, velvety stock, and a side of roasted fingerling potatoes. Just the smell made my mouth water before even taking the first bite! It was heavenly, deeply satisfying, and very hearty and filling.There are always some specials, often including an omelet. Recently we’ve had asparagus and brie, and mushroom and Guryere, variations. They were spectacular, served with a side of potato frites. They turn brunch into a special experience and feel decadent despite the modest price. They offer a full brunch menu that looks yummy, though we haven’t (yet!) tried it.Desserts are homemade. Our favorite are the Rochers (“rocks”), chocolates like turtles. Dark chocolate filled with the specialty of the day, various nuts and fruits. Order at least one if you’re stuffed and don’t think you can fit in anything else, but a plate of 4 goes down easily with tea.The drink list is massive. In the spirit of a French bar there are dozens and dozens of liquors of every kind. A nice offering of about 20 wines (French of course), every one we’ve ever had has been a winner. Some beers, and even several ciders, apple and pear varieties, from Normandy!This area has tons of typical bars/pubs/taverns, seemingly one on every block, along with Portuguese (Portuguese-ish) and Italian restaurants. Le Central stands out, both for being unique in offering a great selection of the best of the best of French foods, and for the amazingly high quality and reasonable prices. It’s one of the great, underappreciated secret gems of the East Bay area. If it was in Boston the prices would be more than twice as high and people would be raving about it.We’ve been finding it hard to go more than a week between visits.“

“The Baked Scrod is delicious with French fries and salad with Italian dressing .Marie L is a great waitress always making sure you have everything you need and making sure you're happy with your service and meal. The owner Joe is always at the door to greet you and welcome you for coming here. Nice peaceful and relaxing place to bring a significant other to enjoy a meal. You definitely get more than your monies worth at this place. I will be back that's for sure.“

“My husband and I have gone here a few times for dinner, and always have a good time. This past time was over the summer on a basic evening and we got to sit outside, which was very nice. The food was delicious and I loved my margarita! I'm happy to see some vegan options at a seafood place, and was pleasantly surprised with how good it tasted.“

“I have been going to this location since it opened. We have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The only thing to complain is the lack of proper ice cubes for mixed drinks. They use a soda ice dispensary of some form and when you order a drink “on the rocks”; you get a glass full of small ice. Destroys the drink altogether. I know it’s picky but if you are going to carry top shelf alcohol, you should be expected to present it appropriately.“

“Ever since being diagnosed with Celiac's I have been searching for a good gluten-free eggs benedict for years. I am not a fan of most gluten-free bread. I tried the eggs benedict, loved it, and went back the next week and tried the cinnamon roll. I have a new breakfast place. I can't wait to try the lunch menu.“

“I have had breakfast here w/ a group of HS graduate friends on numerous occasions.. The food was always good, and in spite of the variations ordered, delicious, hot, and served all at the same time. Waitresses were always pleasant, polite and good humored. (Image the ribbing they took from 6 to 10 older men! Friday, 3/15/24 ,my wife, my sister, my nephew and I had the dinner special for 2. Each :Cup of Chowder, 2 Clam Cakes, Fries, and Fish. EXCELLENT in every sense of the word and good portions! ( I also managed to consume a HUGE Strawberry Shortcake! ) I cannot praise enough the quality of the meal, service, and reasonable price. You owe yourself a trip and meal at this“

“Given our late arrival our hostess server bartender Ashley was unbelievable! She's a rarity these days! Took our order over the phone given that the kitchen likely would've been closed when we arrived! Instead shortly after our arrival our food was being served. And with great hospitality! She went above and beyond to accommodate us and I found that exceptional! Kudos to her! It's rare that I've received such service in the many places at which I've dined! In addition to the service the food was delicious! The 19 shrimp was delectable along with the paella and Mediterranean octopus we ordered! A very memorable evening I soon won't forget!“

“I remember coming to this place and it was old and it really needed a rehab bad. So I've been hearing about this place a lot lately. So my girlfriend and I decided to come here to have dinner on a Friday night. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! The whole building had a makeover done. Looks really nice and differently a family atmosphere. The food was good and the staff was very friendly. The price is reasonable. But the portions were small. I had a steak plate with fries, and my girlfriend had the prime rib plate, and we had chicken wings for an appetizer“

“After trying their delicious cannolis while at the Tiverton Farmers Market, I decided to get my husbands birthday cake from them! The carrot cake was amazing! I can't recommend enough. The scallops and stuffy I picked up were great as well. The scallops were super fresh.“

“What a diamond, my son & I were in town from Baltimore. We sat at the bar. I had the fish and chips, super yummy.I wish I remembered all the ladies names because the bartender & staff were absolutely delightful.I hope to go back when visiting family.“

“I mean just look at the pics of the food I posted it tastes that way to!! Highly recommend you try especially the pork and little necks!! Also try the steak Sammy it’s fire ? as well! Chicken and shrimp Mozambique is absolutely killer too?!! Can’t go wrong here!!“

“Went here for dinner and it was such a nice vibe. Waitress was so friendly and drink was good. Be warned, you only will need the one drink because they are very strong.Food was really good. I recommend the calamri app, and the pork chops with the mashed. I would come here for a quiet/ date settings. They have paid street parking across the streetParking: There are paid steet paeking across the street.“

“The pineapple fajita was a delicious surprise! Earned the 4 stars. The steak and chicken fajita was tasty. The rice and beans and corn tortillas were pretty standard though. The tomatoes with that fajita dish were pretty plain- not pico de gallo. The drinks and the service were good! Chips and salsa are offered to each table- I was not impressed by the chips, the salsa was ok- not chunky at all, it had a runny consistency- pretty mild. We were there on a Thursday night - we enjoyed the live mariachi which visited tables for tips. They belted out 2 songs for us. There is a separate bar area and 3 to 4 separate areas with tables and booths. We enjoyed the merengue and bachata music that was playing when the mariachi was not performing.Kid-friendliness: I’ve been with my kids and have seen others with kids.“

“I love everything about McCray's!!! I read other reviews but I could not relate to "any of them." I was just there last week and ordered $100.00 worth of food, everything was delicious ? I do agree with the one review! Those Devil Dog Mud Slides "ARE THE ? BOMB!" You really can actually taste the liquor! My only complaint is: "I wish you were open EVERY DAY of the week ALL YEAR LONG! Kudos to you and your staff!! I'll see you next season! ??“

“Localz is a good meal at a fair price. They don't take reservations and aren't on open table, that's a bit of a downer, but overall you can't go wrong here. Try the corn and bacon dip as an appetizer.Parking: The parking is somewhat limited and you may have to park along the guard rail on the road.“

“I can't say I've ever eaten any food at Frates so please take this review as a review of the ice cream and setting only. As I am new to the area, this was my first visit to Frates and it was charming in a way that walk-up New England ice cream shops are. There is an Elvis statue inside and fun music playing. The ice cream is well-priced and deeee-licious! I got an M&M Nor'easter which was great. The ice cream is very creamy and the amount of M&Ms was perfect. Others in my party got ice cream cones, sundaes, and a cup of ice cream. Not a single complaint and not a drop of ice cream left before we headed home. Since it is still chilly out there is a nice heated tent area with tables to sit and enjoy. As the weather warms I imagine sitting outside with that ice cream dripping will bring the nostalgia of long past summer days in New England come rushing back. I can't wait to return back to Frates again and again! (And next time take pics before we gobble our ice cream up! )“

“Jenna makes every experience at this bar amazing! she is so personable and attentive. her energy is just perfect for the atmosphere and for every individual customer. she has been so great every time i’ve been! keep an eye out for Jenna, she’s the gold standard.“

“Free pizza with $29 purchase. I like to stock up for a couple of days on subs and throw them in the refrigerator for lunch during the week. Very reasonable prices and very friendly staff. You can eat there in peace and quiet if you want to or you can take out.“

“I was visiting my son from Florida so we ended up up going out for dinner place is super clean waiters was very attentive and polite they check on us every 15 minutes to ensure everything was good love the presentation on the plates small rice portion still was good steak was good just a little cold at the end the waiter offer tequila on the house that really was a nice touch I'll be back in town soon and visit this place again thank you all“

“To power through all the obstacles as a small business owner and survive, especially in the restaurant industry, is a testimony to one's strength and dedication to their craft. Truly a delicious, humbling establishment that deserves accolades. Bravo!“

“Just phenomenal everytime. I think it's my favorite restaurant in Fall River. The Porto restaurants in Fall River mostly have the same dishes, so it's the subtleties of the experience that stand out between the establishments. The Clipper is as authentic as it gets.“

“Kristin is the best server! Friendly, personable, absolutely hysterical, professional, and provides amazing service! Swordfish and prime rib were phenomenal! Both cooked perfectly and seasoned just right! She never steers us wrong with entree suggestions! Great company to be around.. we will be back for sure!!! Thanks again!“

“Definitely the best local option for Chinese takeout. Our fried selections were super fresh - i enjoyed the wontons and crab rangoons especially. The fried rice also tasted fresh and everything was super affordable. Can't speak on behalf of service or ambience as my boyfriend picked it up for us.“

“When we first moved to Berkley, we were a little underwhelmed with the selection of restaurants in the area. Thank goodness for Doughlicious Pizza for providing not just an amazing selection of pizzas but also a great environment, a super friendly staff and ownership, and top-notch sandwiches and fried seafood.Doughlicious has become the unofficial home of our soccer and basketball team pizza parties, and we never leave unsatisfied.“

“First time here, and let me tell you...it was phenomenal! Food was exquisite and tasteful. Staff friendly and attentive, and drinks on point. We had oysters, grilled and raw...an explosion of taste. Octopus, on point. Tenderloin, moist and full of flavors.. everything was just great! So worth “

“I've been to this fantastic Portuguese restaurant several times and typically sit either at the bar or lounge. Today I chose the dining room. My go-to has always been the swordfish and Portuguese style clams, except tonight. My wife had the shish kebab and I had the octopus. Outstanding! Most importantly, the dining room service is less "harried" and the servers can be more attentive. Ask for Joe on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. He rocks.“

“Excellent service and even better food. It was somewhat cold and drizzling so no outside dining but great views of the seaside, battleship cove and Braga Bridge. Had the stuffed quahogs for appetizer. Oh so good. The main course was the Cove Cod. Superb!!! Cooked fresh cod,succulent throughout with red potato halves, littlenecks, onions, bell peppers and diced chouriço in a delicious properly balanced spicy wine broth. Did I mentioned it was excellent. My wife had the grilled swordfish and our friends had the blackened salmon and Portuguese steak. All were superb by the comments of each. Highly recommend. The only negative at the moment, there is construction and one way traffic for several miles. Pay attention for the entry to the parking area. With the construction it is difficult to distinguish. If it is missed the only option is to go around again and it will take several miles.Parking: Current construction on road makes the parking lot entrance difficult to distinguish. Pay attention. Currently one way traffic with lot of construction activity. If the entrance to parking is missed no alternative to going around and that takes several miles.“

“I absolutely love going to the Riverhouse when I am in town. I have had a few of the items on the menu and everything was great. I will say the calamari appetizer, the steak tips and the pb&j burger were some of my favorites.The service is always great, the atmosphere is perfect. 10/10 in my eyes. Can’t wait for my next visit to Massachusetts and stopping in the Riverhouse.Dietary restrictions: I have a tomato allergy and they made sure that my food did not come in contact with any tomato products.Kid-friendliness: It’s a great family restaurant.“

“Best restaurant in Rhode Island, period! They're busy so don't expect "fast food restaurant" service. All the meals are cooked to order. Paul is the owner and the chef. No one works harder for their patrons than he does.“

“Shared time with family on St Patrick's Day lunch for corned beef & cabbage. Great portion size but rather bland for my preference. Waitress served our meals & drinks then disappeared!. We then waited a l I ng time for her to resurface to request our bill.Restaurant has a good reputation, will try again in the future. Beautiful view of the riverWheelchair accessibility: Looks to be wheelchair accessible but did not see restrooms.“

“Came here to celebrate a friends birthday! Tried to mussels, the calamari, the tuna roll, salmon burger, cucumber lemon drink (and pear drink).. and then the ice cream cookie dessert. Wow!! Just wow!! Lighting was incredible and was there for the sunset!! Place was popping with activity and service was highly attentive!“

“This food is probably the most authentic Chinese Food in the city. Not only was it clean when I walked in the very kind cook was very nice. He cooked the food right in front of me. And very relaxing Chinese culture music was playing in the back while I waited. :) The lady who answered the phone was also very kind. It's very rare to find authentic kindness and good food all in one spot. Definitely the gem of Fall River. You won't be disappointed ?. Support small business like this! Oh and worth the money if you want amazing tasting food!“
