3 Best Seafood Restaurants in New York City, NY

Mina was very polite, kind and made sure she explained each meal and how much we would like it and what we should get depending on what we like. She took her time to walk us through the menu which is very nice of her. The food was great, well seasoned, service was amazing.

My friend and I visited the Red Lobster at Times Square while on a trip from Montreal, and it was amazing! The location is perfect, right in the heart of NYC, which gave us an exciting vibe as soon as we walked in. The seafood was fresh and delicious—especially the lobster and shrimp dishes! Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The famous Cheddar Bay Biscuits were a highlight, and we kept asking for more. It was a fun and memorable experience, and we both felt it was the perfect spot for a seafood feast while exploring the city. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Times Square who wants great seafood and a lively atmosphere.

Haven't been back to Red Lobster in a long time but made the stop here on the way back from work with my wife. Collin I think was his name was a delightful server! We throughly enjoyed lobster fest and built our own meals. The lobster and garlic shrimp scampi were particularly fantastic. Coconut shrimp were not too shabby either. Of course, you can't forget to load up on cheddar bay biscuits then and also take some home with you! Hope this chain never shuts down.

Located on the sublevels of Grand Central Station, this restaurant is on the eastern most side of the Dining Concourse when you go downstairs. It is possible to take the stairs or a longer ramp from street level to get to the place. The ambience is dim, enough for your potential date to swoon but not too dark that you cannot see your food. The staff are very attentive and refill water regularly. I went during a less busy time so food came very fast. Pictured below are the Lobster Bisque and the Shellfish Platter with a half lobster. Was delicious, and was in and out of there at a comfortable time.

Such a simple guilty pleasure... raw oysters, a pan roast and a berr for lunch. Oysters are always fresh and many to chose from. I like to get 2 each of 6 different ones. The server's favorite turned put to be mine as well. Clam pan roast is so good, filling and soaked up into the oyster crackers nicely. I sit at the counter close to the oyster shockers and the stew/pan roast prep. It's all fun to watch.

The oyster pan knocked my socks off! I did as reviews mentioned and sat at the high counter and watched them make it. It kind of reminded me of the old Woolworth diners, but finer. Beautiful architecture to enjoy especially dining solo.
