50 Best Seafood Restaurants in New York

“One of New York’s hidden secrets. Not to be missed.“

“This establishment is everything! From the time I entered the service was impeccable. I had the seared Bass w/Copolini and the Crab Spring Rolls. 5 stars, a must when in NYC.“

“Food and drinks were absolutely delicious and the staff was lovely! So patient and attentive, would definitely go back again.“

“Excellent and comfortable affordable“

“Shared the Roasted Buttrrnut Squash Salad. Listed as an appetizer but could easily have been a meal! I had the Sam Francisco Style Seafood Cioppino, which was just the thing for a seafood lover on a cold day! The Apple Cider Spritz was a great seasonal cocktail.“

“The autumn salad was amazing!!“

“The flavors were great and will be back next time. Any food lovers out there?“

“Most amazing seafood. Go for happy hour. Get all the oysters. The lobster pasta made my husband weak in the knees. He won't stop talking about the olive brine Bloody Mary. THE BEST.“

“Finally went to Moono and it delivered. Each dish held its own with unique flavors. We had a la carte among four of us with a bottle of makeoli and were happily filled with 1 appetizer and 3 entrees. We ordered an extra bowl of white rice which is the move as so many dishes had excellent sauces that you just wanted to soak up with rice, plus the white rice itself is perfect with a sweetness to it.

We had Hoe Muchim + Kim, Beef Hotpot, Mushroom Sotbap, and Galbijjim. It was outstanding from the cold cucumber soup at the beginning to the end. Beef hotpot is great for those who appreciate that pure beef taste and experience- it is lightly seasoned and in my opinion a great contrast to the big flavors of Galbijjim. Galbijjim is a crowd pleaser and easy to enjoy, it is a most indulgent version with meat removed from the bones. We only wished the dish were layered with more vegetables / mushrooms, which were not side characters in this dish. Sotbap was fragrant - only wished that they scooped out the crispy bits, which are the best parts. Maybe they can offer guests the option to serve themselves rather than take away and return with the scooped out bowls for each person.

Also would love to see more makgeolli options on the drinks menu.

Can’t wait to return!“

“Beautifully prepared delicious food!!“

“Kann ich nur empfehlen, in Service, Preis und Geschmack nahezu unschlagbar! Seiten so gut in NYC gegessen, sei es Seafood oder auch Anderes. Bei uns waren es: Appetizer: Spanish Octopus Entrée: Bone-In NY Strip Dessert: NY Cheesecake P.s.: Es gibt auch vegetarische Gerichte.“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“Atmosphere, amazing! Food, top! Jeffrey, BRAVISSIMO!“

“Loved this place, coming back to NYC just for this restaurant!“

“"Outstanding food and presentation. The service was fantastic, especially from the hostess“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“Great food and drinks! A big pricey, but worth it!“

“The service was absolutely fantastic. We were a group of 7 and were completely taken care of all night. We were probably the loudest group in the restaurant which we had to quiet ourselves sometimes, but no one ever said nothing or batted an eye and we were treated like gold. Highly recommend this location as the staff was awesome and food delicious. Would gladly come back.“

“Nice atmosphere, very professional and friendly staff. Best caviar and great gourmet food selections.“

“I had a wonderful time, the food was delicious, strong drinks. Plenty of food, beautiful restaurant. Definitely worth it. Plus we got a little loud and they were fine with it. Didn’t feel threatened lol“

“We lived in nyc for 30 years. Recently moved to DE. God only knows how much we miss the nyc culture. Nothing holds a candle to it. Thank you Aaron for such a delightful lunch today at your restaurant. Best Manhattan I’ve had in a long long time! You were so attentive and accommodating. Service the best! Thank the kitchen for the great food also! Will be back soon with our nephew and his spouse!“

“excellent, sat at bar, impressive food, look forward to returning“

“This is a very small restaurant so important to make reservations. I love sitting at the bar only 4 seats lots of space for the food. The bartender let me sample several beers to help me decide which I thought was so kind. Food is gooood clean And nice variety although. It's I fish specially they offer steak and a bone marrow dish so 2026“

“I have to say for the small amount of food the prices are a bit high.
The calamares were good, but the cheese plate i wasn't happy with it. They gave me 3 very tiny thin slices of hard white cheese, 1 very small brie, 2 dry pieces of white bread, 1 dry piece of priciutto and what I mostly did not like was the 2 slices of mortadella meat. They could have given a better meat choice also instead of dry bread water crackers would be a better choice.
That's just cheap meat to me. Usually when I order a charcuterie plate I am satisfied. This was not satisfying.
My husband had the burger he said it was OK.
Nothing to brag about.
The Tin building inside has a nice vibe.
Other than that I felt like when I was in France. Very little food with high prices.
The server was kind.“

“service and food was amazing“

“Rebecca's is one of the best servers I've ever seen.“

“Amazing food and service!“

“Super fresh food and top quality service. Thank you.“

“Enjoyed my experience there on Monday night.. The shrimp, codfish and battered fries were good.“

“Nōksu is incredible! Every dish looks amazing and tastes even better — full of unique flavors that really stand out. The service is super friendly and professional, and the whole experience feels special without being too fancy. It’s one of those places you’ll keep thinking about after you leave. Definitely worth it! 🍽️✨“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“Amazing food and service!“

“Wonderful New Year's Eve! Thank you so much. From the food to the service everything was amazing. We were late about 45 min for our reservation and there was no problem with seating us. We really appreciate it. We had amazing time as always. This was our 3 rd year spending the New Year's Eve at Milos Hudson Yards.“

“Loved this place!!! Highly recommended!!!!“

“Docks is an institution! I am so glad it is still around and going strong. 40 years ago I used to hang out there after work to unwind and socialize with my colleagues. We were young and loved the energy the place exuded. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting up with a new colleague for happy hour and it did not disappoint. The bar is exactly how I remembered it and the happy hour prices plus the quality of the food made me well---happy! I shall return but much sooner next time :-)“

“My review is based on a party of 1pax (myself).

Very welcoming and cozy, modern Thai restaurant with the South East Asian flare you'd be looking for if having visited Thailand before. Decor is a mix of modern and traditional which gives a nice feel, ambiance is relaxed.

I was greeted with friendly & warm smiles and seated at the spacious bar area where Yatika helped me decide food/drink choices. I can vouch for the excellent food quality and selection (Northern Thai & Bangkok) having ordered Khanom Jeen Nam Ngiao & Tom Kha soup

Shout out to Yatika for the excellent service and making your patrons feel welcomed and wanting to come back! I'd highly recommend and will definitely be back when coming through the city. Double 👍👍“

“I’ve eaten here twice and even spilled a strawberry margarita & it was replaced. The staff is great the food is awesomely delicious and Jake & Gray made both visits so worth while. Thank you both! And thank you Burgers & Lobster!! 😊“

“Amazing Dining Experience, Delicious Food, Private space with lovely Staff!!!“

“Was the most refined fine dining experience I’ve had in Manhattan. I would highly recommend it! Phenomenal food … unique experience and fantastic atmosphere! The staff has the utmost attention to detail.“

“The food here hits on every course so you’ll always be pleased. Service is on its best game and you definitely leave feeling like you were engaged with a completely premium experience. My only gripe is that they offer many supplements (that are not cheap) and they present them to you in stages so you always feel like you’re being upsold. I’d much rather pay a known fee early and just enjoy the rest of my experience.“

“I was very disappointed in the quality of the food, seasoning, sauce. Just extremely bland. The food tasted like when you go to a fish market and you get steamed food and though that can be good that's not what you expect when you go to shaking crab. The butter and garlic sauce was very thin and just had butter and garlic And it was very oily, I don't even think it was real butter. We had to ask for seasoning. But it wasn't the same. at all. Also they kept omitting items out of our food When we dined in. And, We had a to go order and we paid for eggs and noodles and when we got home we found out it wasn't there. So I'm going to give shake and crab another go but it will have to be in Brooklyn. Because the one that was in Harlem has permanently closed and when I tell you, that's sauce? superb! If the owner or manager is reading this please go back to the original. I understand that you are probably mostly around white people and they like to complain about things being too spicy but you're going to lose business that way. The people that like your food will come. But if you change what you're known for. It's ultimately going to be your demise.“

“Too bad there aren’t more stars to click on. As a Sicilian/Italian every time I go to an Italian restaurant I have to always settle for the close enough. Not this time at Piccola Cucina Estiatorio, 71 Thompson Street NYC. After seeing their extremely authentic Sicilian menu online I knew that it had to be the real thing. After easily reserving a table online we showed up with yes our hopes being very high. For the first time the food was everything I had hoped for. 1. Arancini: nicely crunchy and flavored. Not oily or old at all. 2. Grilled veggies: although simply presented they were really tasty and fresh. 3. Involtini: out of this world. Exactly made like in my town in Sicily. A Moist, tender, flavored with some really tasty mozzarella cheese, served on a nice bed of caponata. 4. Maccheroni alla Norma: finally my very favorite dish. I almost cried. Besides a fantastic pasta, rigorously cooked al dente, there was a more than generous amount of diced eggplant, obviously, with basil leaves, olive oil and everything the Mediterranean has so generously given to Sicily for thousands of years. It’s worth mentioning the more than welcome grated “ricotta salata” as a testimony to the high attention to detail of Chef Gioele. That was a dinner I will not easily forget. The last thing I want to say is that, according to the highly professional and attentive staff, almost every single ingredient in this restaurant is flown directly from Sicily including the very tasty cannoli filled with ricotta cheese. (The cheese flies frozen during shipping). Sorry for the long review. I only wanted to show my super happiness with this restaurant. ANGELO.“

“Food and service was excellent. Service was out of this world. Can't wait to go again“

“Awesome!!!! Experience!!!!! The best!“

“Amazing lobster snd crab rolls! So authentic….Makes you think you can smell the sea air!“

“I like ginger magrita....“

“A hidden gem! Really kind staff and the service was amazing. They were helpful with recommendations and being attentive to our allergies. Drinks were strong, and food was great. Limited space on the inside but that just means
they can divide their attention to each table!“

““Absolutely 🔥! I can't say anything more. My wife can't stop talking about it. I frequent many places, and this may be the best place I've eaten at this year. I've been to multiple three-star Michelin spots this year, by the way. Absolutely incredible place, and the staff are great.”“
