50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Brooklyn

“Excellent service great ambiance and excellent food!“

“Creative fun dishes and bev list.“

“I absolutely love this restaurant! The quality of the fruits and vegetables is outstanding—always fresh, vibrant, and clearly sourced with care. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, but the standout for me is the pork braised dish. It’s rich, tender, and packed with deep, savory flavor that melts in your mouth. You can really taste the time and skill that goes into it. This place never disappoints.
Noise level is average for a NYC area restaurant and service spot on (we were a table of 15 for a birthday, not easy to serve even with a pre fix menu!!)“

“Came here on 10/17/25, service was amazing, dishes were to die for and drinks were amazing. Everything is so good and I definitely recommend coming here. If you come here please try the meringue angel foodcake, trout and cotton candy drink. FYI: THE WHOLE COURSE TAKES 2 TO 3 HOURS SO BE READY TO WAIT. In general though this restaurant is amazing! 🔥👌🔥“

“amazing authentic chinese food“

“I've been dining at Nick's since the late 90s and I have never been disappointed. The food is great, love the atmosphere, and the service is great. Our waiter was ALLAN, he is so on point, courteous, very friendly.“

“The vibe was all that! The staff was amazing! The food...out of this world! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Last December, We traveled from PA just to visit this restaurant for my husband's bday. We visited Brooklyn again this year for the NYC marathon and low and behold, this place was only a few stops away on the subway. And I owed my hubs a lunch anywhere he wanted to go because I lost this year's NCAA basketball pool, so here we are. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT. Nothing by our home compares to it. Oysters, lobster rolls, beer, friendly knowledgeable service. We hope to visit again soon. This is the best lunch we've had all year. ❤️❤️❤️“

“Best Latin fusion joint in South Brooklyn“

“excellent service and delicious fresh food.“

“Sea Pearl never disappoints! The ambiance is cozy yet elegant, and the food is always on point.“

“First time here!
Food was great!
We were served at the bar! Friendly staff! Good service!

We had the raw littleneck and oysters and fried calamari!
The medium sauce that goes with the calamari is absolutely delicious!“

“I am not even a fan of lobster rolls but maaann, their aint nothing like grabbing a roll from here and heading to the sweet lil park down the street and watching Lady Liberty whilst chowing down on an all-American lobster roll. It really is a great feeling. Worth it everytime. Staff is nice too.“

“Went out with friends to eat Friday night September 2-22 The food was great the manager was lovely I believe her name was Amy she is a awesome host Will be back soon“

“This place is astoundingly good from top to bottom. The hostess Carla was amazing. Our server was next level. The clams casino is one of the best dishes I’ve had in my twenty years in New York hands down. Don’t sleep on the prawns or the lobster orzo. My only complaint possible is the portions are a little small but GOD DANG are they delicious. The burger is very tasty but maybe not worth the price but everything else is truly unfathomably scrumptious. Been here twice now. Plan on being back as much as my wallet can handle it.“

“Oh my God, please listen to me! This place is absolutely amazing. I have close to 13 million views on my Google restaurant contributions and trust me when I tell you, this place is 100% worth it. I cannot express enough how wonderful the staff is, nice Brooklyn style atmosphere, and the food is absolutely AMAZING!

Please look in my pictures and you get an idea on why I tell you you should rush to this place, don't walk, rush!

The owner, Diego, is absolutely incredible. You could tell this man really truly cares about what he does and the love he puts into his restaurant.“

“Overall a good experience. We were sat at the counter close to the front door and the cold draft hitting us was not pleasurable. The counter seating doesn't have backs, so make sure if you have back issues like myself, to let them know ahead of time.“

“Went in and place was half empty on Sat night. Wasn’t expecting the food to be this good. Brussels sprouts were cooked perfectly. Burrata came with what felt like old-oven bread and lightly dressed arugula. Crab cake was full of crab meat vs bread. My friend said it was best crab cake he ever had. Every plate was clean before picked up. On service, the waitress was very pleasant. Great stage in back which could be an amazing live music spot but apparently they only do on Mondays (not sure why only Mondays). Anyway, well done to the kitchen staff.“

“The food was incredible and ambiance was a vibe! We got the Jumbo shaker tray and the shaking sauce was AMAZING! The server Kaden made us feel right at home and was hilarious. We even got to take shots with the head chef at the end. Also, MUST try the banana pudding. Absolutely coming back soon!!“

“I am transported to the south of France here and I’ve never even been there. This place is so lovely, the food is incredible. I loved every moment we were here. Don’t hesitate, just come. And bring wine. You won’t regret it! There was no wait on a Saturday night, we just walked in. I know I’ll be back.“

“Delicious food, great atmosphere, service is remarkable ✔️“

“Felt for seafood and my hubby said let’s try sea kings best decision ever the salmon and shrimp was well seasoned and very tasty. I got some calamari too and let me tell you it was the best calamari I had in a while it was crispy and well done not chewy like some I had .. great atmosphere.. Amarie you the best I will definitely be back ..“

“Service was fantastic - highly attentive to the smallest details. Great food - recommended 👍👍“

“We went there to get some good seafood & they didn't disappoint us! The server/cook was very nice and professional about their service. The food was delicious and worth to wait for because they cook it after you put the order in. They have a little place to seat and enjoy the meal with friends and family. Overall a very nice restaurant.“

“There are a few places in the city I'm always a bit surprised at with how easy it is to snag a reservation. If we're going on merit, Gus's should be a competitive spot to snag dinner. I suppose I'm grateful it's not for selfish reasons, but am happy to have them as a surefire vouch anytime anyone asks for a recommendation.“

“Amazing Turkish food - definitely some of the best lamb chops and octopus I’ve had in years. The Rana Table deal was awesome, offering a perfect way to sample all eight appetizers along with four additional mezzes. With four people we got 2 entrees to share and the portions were just right.

I gave the food five stars, though I do wish there had been more dessert options to finish off the meal—we couldn’t get enough of the pistachio lady finger!“

“The service was friendly and helpful, and the food came out quickly.

The clams were sooo good 🤤!

Oysters, calamari were great, and the funnel cake was just ok.

🚨They will be closing for the season on 10/13 (Columbus day) and they are only opening on the weekends until there 🚨“

“I recently dined at this restaurant, and I have to say, it exceeded all my expectations! The shashlik is simply the best – perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection, with a mouth-watering smoky flavor. The salads are fresh and full of vibrant ingredients, and the soups are warm and comforting, truly homemade quality. Don't miss the samosas either – crispy on the outside and packed with delicious fillings. Beyond the food, the ambiance is wonderful, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a great meal. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!“

“A wonderful Yemeni restaurant .. great people… great food… and the big circle bread: the rashoosh. They have the fahsa, they have the kibdeh, and of course they have the haneeth but they also have Yemeni favs that are not usually found at other restaurants: shafoot, Sana’a kebab, and roti bread! But my fav.. that rice. Hands down the best rice I’ve had in a long time! A def must try!“

“Listen, let me tell you that EVERY THING was fabulous. The food was delicious (branzino, calamari, fahsa, pita, and even the adena tea). The service was friendly and warm. The atmosphere was great. And the prices were VERY reasonable. I love this place and will definitely be back again and again.“

“THE BEST FOOD IN CONEY ISLAND.I HAVE EATEN THERE SINCE 1954 WHEN HER FATHER OWNED IT. THE FRENCH FRIES YOU COULD DIE FOR-THATS HOW GREAT THEY ARE.I STILL GO THERE JUST TO EAT THERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“The BEST dining experience of my life. I commend the chefs for being able to create an incredible experience out of a cuisine that emphasizes purity. They are truly masters of their craft, and it shines through with each and every bite. I also want to thank Brandon, and the entire staff, for delivering on just above and beyond service even for a Michelin star restaurant.

My full review of each aspect of the meal:

Food:
We booked the Gentei Omakase experience and loved every bite. I had very high expectations for the rice with how much they talk about it on the website, and even those expectations were exceeded. The rice is spectacular. When it comes to the fish, it was a wonderful mix of classics like Otoro, and an introduction to new favorites of mine like the Kinki. Each piece tastes delicious and came with the perfect amount of freshly grated wasabi. Understanding the selection was seasonal, the mix was just perfect. There were cuts of perfectly springy texture, melt-in-your-mouth buttery sweetness, and delicate umami flavor. I can’t really put into words how the food had changed my view of sushi forever. NOW, let me talk about the sake pairing. My sake experience was H-Mart sake, so maybe I’m not the expert. That said, this sake pairing has completely changed everything I thought sake could be. Brandon, our sake expert, was kind of enough to dumb down the explanations of all the sake to us, giving us a history lesson on each bottle and helping us learn tasting notes to look out for. I felt like it was like someone showing me a whole new world that I didn’t know existed. If you are reading this, best of luck on the exam next year! I want to thank you for making our evening so special.

Service:
I may not have the 20+ Michelin meals the other reviewer had, but of the few I have had, this one stands out as by far the best. They were able to blend together an intimate dining experience and a show. It was food with a little showmanship to curate to those who wanted pictures of every piece and those who wanted to just sit and eat. The chefs were attentive, asking questions on taste and consistently giving context to what we were eating. They gave a thorough explanation on the origins of the rice, and even gave context about seasonality of the fish. I felt like I was in a masterclass, being taught by two of the best to ever do it. Then the rest of the wait staff was just absolutely fantastic. They came by with phone rests, and even cleaned up small drops of sauce on the serving plate, to assure it did not compromise the flavor of the next piece. The level of attention was perfect without being over the top.

Atmosphere: Simple. Just the way it should be.“

“I hosted a birthday party in Rosticceria Evelina's semi private room for 11 people and it was absolutely perfect. They provide a very reasonable, flat, per person rate for a prix fix menu (many places have a very high spend minimum) and they created a personalized menu card for our event which was a lovely, personalized touch.

The food is amazing - one dish was better than the last. They accommodated for allergies and allowed me to make a last minute change.

I can't recommend it enough“

“Good oysters and a happy hour that runs until 7pm. The oysters were fresh and while I’m not a huge fan of red sauce I did enjoy the freshly shaved horseradish. That and a few other small Spanish plates and $12 martinis made this a pleasant low key early evening out“

“Today, I decided to stop and try this restaurant. I walked in and asked about the menu, the lady at the bar help ( very beautiful). I decided on a chicken roti. When I got home and opened my package I was surprised at the size (huge) and the taste ( delicious). I will be back. 🥰“

“Very nice bar restaurant. you can drink, eat and karaoke🎤. Nice gathering place.“

“The food was absolutely amazing, and the atmosphere was just as enjoyable. Jocelyn stood out—she not only provided excellent service but also crafted some of the best drinks I’ve ever had. Her cocktails alone could lift anyone’s mood. The chef was incredible as well; the dishes were so flavorful and comforting that you can’t help but want more. Overall, a fantastic dining experience.“

“Excellent example of Cajun/Creole cuisine. Highly recommended.“

“everything. food is delicious!“

“Naan was lightly buttered and crispy, perfect for accompanying the flavorful curry, highly recommended“

“Party of 10 + you can get your own room w KTV. Hotpot w lots of options and the hot foods selection offers of variety of seafood and BBQ skewers which actually taste good. Baked oysters were solid too. Beer and drink selection good. Shoutout to our wonderful waitress, Wendy. Although we were a huge group of 12-14 people, she took care of us really well, friendly and professional throughout the process. Will be returning

Ps - give Wendy a raise! One of the best waitresses we met this year“

“This place made a huge impression on me. I've been eating there for a year now, and it's the best place I've ever been to. I recommend it to everyone. The sushi is delicious, and all the dishes come with rice. I especially want to highlight the spicy chop don and Japanese chicken catsu rice. Come here, everyone.“

“With Others has been my favorite wine bar in NYC for quite some time. I love stopping in with a few friends for a glass or bottle of wine and some snacks, or booking their Sunday wine school for a fun weekend adventure. I hosted a birthday party in the backyard a few weeks ago. Everything was perfectly handled! Lauren and the staff helped me pre-order wine and food and kept everything running smoothly. Would highly recommend for parties!“

“Spread Love & juice is the perfect place to get freshly made smoothies. Oh! did I tell you they also have wonderful customer service? Well they do!“

“Friendly and lively atmosphere. The food is tasty and served in good portion sizes. The hostess- Tiffany was so charismatic. We came here for Mother’s Day and they spoiled my mom with sparklers, a rose and multiple shots of Moutai on the house. Would recommend and would come back!“

“Excellent Service Great Customer service! Good food !“

“Beautiful food. It is actually surprisingly good for a crab boil place and it's not only a crab boil place. There is other selections of seafood. I've been to many seafood places, specifically boil places and this is a very very good place. Come on in everybody‼️“
