Mouthwatering Seafood in Milwaukee

The Shanty Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (772) • $$

"This is my second time here and it was delicious!! So many options for dinner. Everyone in our party of 10 all enjoyed their meal. Our dinner was even better because we were served by Alexis...a wonderfully efficient and pleasant server... She should be commended for her excellence. The ambiance was great!! Great for chatting and a beautiful"

Harbor House

★★★★☆ 3.9 (780) • $$$

"Absolutely incredible experience! Our servers were very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Their pear martini is the best martini I've had, hands down! They use true pears to flavor it and I couldn't recommend it more. We ordered the chef's oysters and they were to die for. For dinner we ordered the fillet with lobstertail and the scallops. Everything was done perfectly to our liking. Harbor house is an upscale with dining experience with a bar area as well. The view of the water is stunning, I can't wait to go in the warmer season."

Five O'Clock Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 4.2 (643) • $$$

"THE place for steaks in Milwaukee. Old school supper club that has been around since 1946! That's right, over 75 years and running! A landmark restaurant in Milwaukee.As soon as you walk in, you are transported back in time to the classic Wisconsin supper club scene, with wood paneled walls and old pictures hanging around a massive bar. The hostess will tell you to grab a cocktail at said bar and order your food from there as well. We did as we were told, and we ordered a couple of cocktails. I ordered probably the best sidecar I've ever had. Once you have ordered your dinner and saddled up with the bartender, your waiter will take you to your table where a bowl of salad, a relish tray and warm bread await you. Don't gorge too much on the salad and bread however, because when the steak you ordered comes out, you will regret it! We ordered a porterhouse and shared it between the two of us, and I'm glad we did! It was massive and probably the best steak I've ever eaten. They cook it just right, medium rare, and a little charred on the outside. It was incredibly tender and juicy.We told the waitress it was our anniversary, and she comped us a slice of Key lime pie, which was also incredible. To top it off, we ordered a dessert drink, a Brandy Alexander, a favor of ours at any supper club we visit. It was very boozy! A nice way to end an incredible meal and experience.It's not cheap but I didn't feel the prices were outrageous either for what you get. They have live music every Friday and Saturday at the bar, and there is additional seating upstairs in the Alley Cat Lounge. A gem of a restaurant, this place is fantastic. The atmosphere, drinks and food can't be beat. A must visit for anyone in the Milwaukee area!"

Blufish Sushi Robata

★★★★☆ 4.4 (549) • $$

"I have been to this restaurant a few times, and every time, I have had a good experience. Blufish serves excellent Japanese food with good variety and delicious flavors. It is an upscale, elegant establishment that is a great part of Vernon Hills' restaurant scene. In my most recent visit, I tried multiple dishes that included sushi rolls, sashimi, chicken karage, sashimi salad, okonomiyaki, scallops, and a saké drink. All the food I had was super tasty and good. The fish was fresh and had big chunks or pieces. The okonomiyaki, which is a savory Japanese pancake with seafood, was super yummy. It was my first time having it. The scallops dish, whose name I can't remember, was unique in taste and very good. The sushi rolls were big, and I liked how they were created. We received good service. The ambiance is nice. The restaurant is on the pricier side, but you do get your money's worth. I highly recommend checking out this restaurant if you haven't been here before."

The Del-bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (523) • $$$

"Do not sleep on The Del-bar. The Del-bar has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants in Wisconsin. The atmosphere, food, and service are over-the top. I currently have a restricted diet for medical reasons (Gluten, dairy, and soy free), which makes going out to eat less enjoyable and also impossible at time. They had no problem accommodating my needs. I ordered the salmon (modified to accommodate restrictions) and my food was superb - flavorful and perfectly cooked. The Del-bar also offered multiple non-alcoholic options. I enjoyed a lavender and lemon mocktail. A few other tips (from this and past visits): - The espresso martini is a must after dinner (they have a mocktail version as well!)- Upgrade to a specialty salad, it's worth it - The Béarnaise sauce that comes on the salmon is phenomenal- Don't rush your dinner here. Enjoy the different bar areas, and a slow meal. - Try the lobster roll"

North and South Seafood & Smokehouse

★★★★★ 4.5 (416) • $$

"Tim is amazing! He's friendly, efficient and makes a delicious old fashioned! He's the reason that we keep coming back!"

Chef Paz Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (420) • $$

"I've always ordered food delivery from here and thought it was time to visit. What a great decision. It's a great little place. The ambiance is handled nicely by the curtains between the tables and the fireplace on the television, trust me it works. My wife had the Tacu Tacu with grilled steak and I had Inka Paella. They were awesome dishes. I've had Paella in a few different countries and this ranks right up there with great flavors and portions. My wife's Tacu Tacu came with grilled steak. She loved every bite. Prices were very reasonable. I don't think will be ordering out anymore. This is a new spot for us to go to. Thanks for a great night and meal."

Tempest Oyster Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (433) • $$$

"My coworkers took me here for my birthday and it was absolutely phenomenal. One of my favorite restaurants in Madison! The decor inside of the restaurant is incredible. Our waitress Nicole was phenomenal and she was able to accommodate my requests and modifications for my food. I had the scallop appetizer with the bourbon glazed apples which was delicious . My entree was the shrimp, scallops, and grits in the white wine sauce and that may have been one of the best dishes I have ever had in my lifetime. Absolutely recommend this place for any celebration!"

Captain Porky's

★★★★☆ 4 (410) • $$

"My mother has been coming to Captain Porky's for years and had the opportunity to join her. Scrumptious home cooking with many menu choices and daily specials. Emphasis on BBQ and Cajun, but have some wonderful alternatives. On this visit, we had lamb with Greek potatoes and milk thistle greens, along with oysters Rockefeller and cornbread; all of which was outstanding. Most impressive is the friendly owner Dino who is passionate, engaging and dispenses wisdom from his many experiences. Love the homey and welcoming atmosphere."

The Packing House

★★★★☆ 3.9 (431) • $$$

"I just met the owner of the Packing House.I had reviewed my perch fish fry and reported it wasn't up to snuff. Within minutes there was a tap on my shoulder.Did you know that Chris kept the doors open during the pandemic and never laid anyone off? That he is passionately committed to carrying on his parents' legacy for 31 years? Folks, our local restaurants need our support more than ever. It's a really tough business - hiring talent, increased costs, competition- give them some love. Please book your reservations for a memorable meal at the Packing House now. The holidays are here and it's the perfect place for a special meal.Chris - keep the faith and your door open."

Mason Street Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (379) • $$$

"We are return visitors to The Pfister Hotel and have always enjoyed our stays. This was our first visit to Mason Street Grill and we were impressed with the food and the service. Olivia was a delight to have as our server! She was helpful with our questions about the entrees and well-informed on the menu.My scallops were very good, but the highlight (for both of us) was my husband's filet. Living in northern Cook County, we have been to most of the top steakhouses in Chicago and his Filet with Brandy Peppercorn Sauce was phenomenal! One of the best ever.We shared Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée for dessert. It was a perfect end to day one of our Milwaukee getaway."

Third Coast Provisions

★★★★☆ 4.4 (294) • $$$

"This review is specifically about The Loon Room in the downstairs speakeasy style bar in Third Coast. I would give it a 3.5 honestly. The vibe was cool. It had red lights, hightop seating, and a cozy space. We were there around 8:30ish on a Friday night and quickly found an open table. A waitress quickly came to take care of us. We're doing dry January, and they had 2 options. The Bees Have No Knees was ok, but the N/A Bird Shirt was very good. I would go back for drinks again.I wouldn't recommend this place if you have allergies. Asking the kitchen came across as a hassle. I tried the fishsticks, and I was disappointed. The remoulade was very good, but the actual fish stick was super dry and had no flavor at all. Our friends had the shrimp and said it was really good. They said the fondue with pretzel bites was okay.Overall, it's a pretty cool place, and I'd use it as a jumping off point and perhaps just do dinner upstairs."

Muramoto Hilldale

★★★★☆ 3.7 (401) • $$

"Great sushi at a great price in Madison! My partner doesn't like fish/sushi, so I took my friend up on a sushi date to her favorite local spot when visiting.I love the area! And to match Muramoto has a stunning interior. Dark and wood elements, it feels very peaceful and upscale.They offer a variety of nigiri, regular, and specialty rolls - all pretty standard pricing. But the real winner? Their Sushi Combos. These are chef's choice of the categories, with a few different combo options. We went for the Maki Combo: 3 rolls - 1 regular, 1 inside-out, and 1 special roll (all chef's choice) for $25. That's a heck of a deal considering some specialty rolls are $16! We ended up getting the Rainbow Roll as our specialty roll, which had a ton of fresh fish and would have been our choice anyway.We ended up adding the dragon roll as well which was delicious and saucy. Service was kind and helpful - when I forgot my bag at the restaurant, they held onto it for me until I could come retrieve it. Try their sushi combos!"

Jin's Sushi Seafood & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (240) • $$

"This was OK. It was better than what I was expecting for WI sushi. The service was friendly, but soooooo slow. We waited about 15-20min between each person's order coming out. Mine came out last, and my friends had had me try some of their sushi. By the time mine came, I was starting to get full. Other all you can eat sushi places I've been to have had super fast order to table times.The sushi was good, but it lacked a lot of flavor, so I made up for it with the shoyu.The desert was a mochi ice cream ball covered in whipped cream. I loved whipped cream, and that was unnecessary.I'd come back if my friends wanted to."

Palmer's Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 4.1 (226) • $$$

"This restaurant is such a gem in the area. Make your reservations well in advance so you can sit in the restaurant area. We were only able to reserve the bar area. It's quite busy and loud. I ordered the filet and scallops. They were both done perfectly. Service was attentive and friendly. The bar had a Peach Crown Old Fashioned that was great."

Geneva Chophouse

★★★★☆ 3.6 (287) • $$$

"Work took me to Grand Geneva Resort and Spa this week. Craving for steak, checked out Chophouse. Atmosphere was very romantic with a perfect lighting overseeing the Lake. My server was Danielle, she was awesome and make good recommendations. Started with Lobster Bisque, wished the serving was bigger, LOL. Wagyu was only 6oz but packed with flavor and instantly melts in your mouth, followed by Foie Gras, which was amazing and very fatty. Not your everyday meal but it was so good. I finished off with the chocolate blackberry cake. Overall, meal was excellent and worth a return trip."

Sopra Bistro

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (320) • $$$

"This restaurant is absolutely delicious. We ordered the fried goat cheese, the Caesar salad, and the steak. Everything was absolutely delicious! Service was great! Ambiance was very cozy and welcoming. We will definitely be back."

Indian Village Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (183) • $$

"Indian Village has been my favorite restaurant for 5+ years. I have brought all of my friends and family here, and everyone loves it! They have remodeled within the last year and it is beautiful. It is family owned and everyone is welcoming and helpful if you are unsure about what to order. The restaurant is open until 10 which is hard to find in Greenfield. They are also on Doordash and don't upcharge The menu can be overwhelming if you are a newbie. Try the Gobi Manchurian for an appetizer. Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken are the most loved dishes. My current favorite is Kadai Chicken. There is an abundance of vegetarian options - I recommend Chana Masala. I have yet to try something I don't like!"

Nani Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (264) • $$

"Last week some co-workers and I celebrated Lunar New Year and we decided to do a family style lunch. Each of us order an entree to share and appetizers. The entries we ordered are general tso's chicken, cashew chicken, tofu and vegetables, and Beef and Broccoli. For the appetizers we ordered xiao long bao, shrimp dumpling, chicken potsticker, pan friend vegetable roll, and seafood hot and sour soup. My favorites of all the food were the general tso's chicken is the best I have ever had! I loved the chicken potsticker and Xiao long bao. All the food was amazing! The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. We shared the food on the lazy Susan and it was a really good time and a really great way to celebrate the Lunar New Year."

Gale Street Inn - Mundelein

★★★★☆ 3.8 (235) • $$

"Good food, service, and an ideal location make this restaurant a must-visit. It's a great part of Mundelein's eateries and restaurants. Located right across from Diamond Lake, by its beach, Gale Street Inn, which is an outpost of the original classic restaurant in the Jefferson Park area of Chicago, serves delicious tasting dishes and drinks. They are known for their classic style, no-frills bbq ribs. I have not had a chance to go to their original location yet to try those ribs, but I sampled them at this location. We had made a reservation for a mid-evening time frame. When we arrived at the restaurant, we were promptly seated at a table of our choice based on the available tables. We sat with a view from a window overlooking Diamond Lake as well as the sunset to follow. We were served warm bread with sesame seeds on its crust with sweet white butter to go with it. The butter was smooth, and the bread was soft and fresh. We started with a couple of glasses of wine (one red, one white) and an order of Roasted Beets salad as an appetizer. For entrees, we order ribs & fries from kids' meals, Gnocchi Al Pesto, and Sausage Orecchiette. The salad and the kids' meal dish came out in a timely fashion, but the other dishes took longer than expected. Our server kept us informed on when we can expect our dishes to come out, but we were not informed as to why it was taking long for our dishes to be served. In the meantime, we enjoyed the delicious salad, which had a couple of different types of beets (red & gold), mixed greens, goat cheese, pistachios, and balsamic glaze house dressing. It was refreshing. I had a glass of Salmon Creek Pinot Noir, and it was smooth and not quite dry, which is good. Finally, when our entrees were served, I was ready to dig into my pasta. My Gnocchi dish looked good, smelled yummy, and tasted absolutely fantastic. It was freshly made with grilled chicken pieces, and the pesto was quite flavorful. I couldn't get enough of it. The Sausage Orecchiette was pretty decent. The sausage, with a mild, subtle taste of fennel, tasted good. There was broccoli in the dish that I didn't care for. The pasta was al-dente, which was good, but it lacked a proper portion of tomato sauce, in my opinion. My wife liked it the way it was. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Last but not least, we had scrumptious and decadent slice of fresh Tiramisu with some strawberries and drizzled chocolate sauce. It was divine. It was one of the best Tiramisu pastries I hedge had in a while. Highly recommended. We had a very good time at Gale Street Inn. It was definitely worth checking out. The restaurant has a good atmosphere and ambiance, and the food and drinks variety is great. They have a nice bar area, plenty of tables in the dining room, and a fireplace to make you feel cozy. Plus, if you get a window side table, then on a nice weather day, you can enjoy the sunset over the lake while enjoying your meal. I recommend to all those who have not been here before to check out this fabulous restaurant."

Ginza Japanese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (233) • $$

"I've been going to Ginza for over a decade. I love their Joy, Wauwatosa, Cinderella & Mars rolls! Great service, wonderful drinks and tasty fresh sushi! The fish that they use in their sushi is flown in daily!"

Johnny Delmonico's Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 3.8 (230) • $$$

"Celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary dinner here and despite the fact that I added this memento occasion to our reservation and also mentioned to the server when he inquired if we were celebrating an event, no recognition of our anniversary was acknowledged."

Milwaukee Sail Loft

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (281) • $$

"Came here with a group of co-workers. Wasn't clear as to what door was acceptable to use or not if walking up from the side and we ended up coming in the back door and being semi-told off by a server for not using the right door and then getting irritated as we tried to figure out what direction to go to get to where we were instructed by her. The server we ended up with was confused and overwhelmed and initially reversed drinks of. Few of those who were in my group. He was overwhelmed and there was only a couple tables in the pace beside us but we did get the drinks sorted out ourselves as he was flustered. Food came and it was actually really good and for that I will give the 4 stars but service was 2 stars at best. Sat a long time before seeing refills when needed. I'd recommend trying this but diner beware service can be shaky and make sure you use the street side door to come in."

LakeHouse

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (308) • $$

"Food was delicious!! We had salmon salad, jalapeño burger and loaded potato skins. Original Long Islad was amazing!! Our host Cindy was the sweetest!! Highly recommend!!"

Mr. B's - A Bartolotta Steakhouse

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (269) • $$$

"In my experience, you can't go wrong when you choose a Bartolotta restaurant, and this place is no exception. Beautiful interior with warm lighting creates a cozy and elegant experience. The two servers assigned to our table of 8 were friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and quick. Then there's the food, which was absolutely amazing.My husband ordered three appetizers as his meal, and thoroughly enjoyed them all. The Lobster Mac and Cheese was very rich and flavorful with a nice crunch on top, although the lobster pieces were on the smaller side and not overwhelming in number. The Wagyu Meatballs were not as tender or juicy as expected, but were delicious. The nicely sized dollop of ricotta on top was a nice touch.I had the Califlower Steak, which was a first for me. It. Was. Fantastic! The califlower was cut thick and roasted to perfection, creating a wonderfully firm yet tender texture. The accompanying flavors and textures made this dish smell and taste amazing. This is a beautiful option for those who prefer a meatless option or are looking to try something new."

Hot Rocks

★★★★☆ 3.7 (226)

"Food was yummy. The , service was quick, efficient and friendly. Ambiance was fun and clean. I'm so glad we made time for this!"

Crawdaddy's on Greenfield

★★★★☆ 3.8 (212) • $$

"Met a gf here for drinks and gossip and of course food! Our server was so awesome! She made it even better, if that's possible. The whole place makes you feel like you're in Nawlins! I had the mahi tacos, we shared the boudin balls, and she got the catfish po boy. We both also got the crab and corn bisque to go for lunch at work the next day. Everything was SO delicious. I can't wait to come back. My stomach ate before my phone, sorry y'all! You won't regret coming here."

Bangkok House Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (177) • $$

"Food is consistently fresh and tasty and deliveries are quick and packaged with care.I've never been to the restaurant in person but I've ordered delivery many times. Some restaurants treat delivery food like it's not as important, but Bangkok House handles delivery food with so much care. The food is always packaged neatly and it's hot when it arrives.The food is so good, every time. The flavors are always there! I've tried most of the curries and they've all been great! The pineapple rice and noodle dishes are also good. Though they have a few vegetarian dishes (including a very good veggie curry), I would love a few more veggie options.Fantastic restaurant. One of the best delivery restaurant options!"

Louisianne's

★★★★☆ 4.1 (160) • $$$

"This is hands down my favorite place to go for etouffee! The service has always been exceptional and the 'cellar' atmosphere is great. I can't say we've ever had a bad meal, or experience here. While the bar area is small, it is intimate and cozy. It is also nice when they have the pianist there. And also important... The bathrooms are very clean."

The Backyard Steak Pit

★★★★☆ 3.7 (194) • $$

"I have been going to Backyard for many years. The restaurant has the feel of the old steakhouses my parents took us to in the 70s. Warmly lit, not too loud, attentive servers.I often order the prime rib rare or a ribeye, trust me, you'll enjoy either. My husband gets the filet. One thing we miss is the pre-COVID salad bar, but the house salad is pretty good, in my opinion. My server, Joe or Joey... it's been a week or so, was very enthusiastic and polite to a tee. I can't remember the last time I've been called ma'am so much in a short period of time! I have absolutely nothing to complain about.... EXCEPT... the dessert tray. I choose the one thing on the tray that sold out. Disappointed, yes. I told the super friendly Joe that he should discount my bill the cost of the two slices of pie. He smiled and laughed, dang. I guess it doesn't hurt to ask."

North and South Seafood & Smokehouse

★★★★☆ 4.4 (137) • $$

"Two words: Burnt Ends. They are amazing! I've had at least half the items on the menu, and I love them all. The staff is hard working, and always a pleasure to interact with. I highly recommend North & South!"

North and South Seafood & Smokehouse

★★★★☆ 4.3 (135) • $$

"Moving to Madison from Austin, we miss the BBQ we were used to in Texas. This a go-to spot for Southern comfort food and BBQ. The food is good and the menu expansive -- plus the management is extremely hands-on and responsive. We had an order of one of the rib options that was unexpectedly tough and not what was expected and when the floor manager came over to ask how our meal was, and heard this, he had a replacement order of a better quality of ribs brought to us gratis and scrubbed the original order from the bill. That wasn't asked for, he did it to be gracious -- these folks go out of their way to keep a customer happy and coming back (and we will!). Thanks much!PS: They know how to serve catfish here. That is not always a given, esp. up in the North. The catfish appetizer bites are something I always order. If catfish was on the taco option list, that would be even better!"

Rare Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 3.8 (170) • $$$

"The Bread and Maple Butter were really tasty. I got some to-go! Service was five star and waters were refilled immediately. We ordered the Filet Mignon, Chopped Salad, and Mashed Potatoes. Filet Mignon $59. The flavors were definitely there and the ingredients were premium.Super appreciate the service and Filet."

Joeys Yardarm

★★★★☆ 3.7 (176) • $$

"The Clam Chowder was exceptional! I would come here just for the soup! Burger was decent, nothing spectacular. I liked the sand dollars 20 years ago, not so much anymore. No seasoning except the Parmesan. Actually didn't even eat them."

Taj Mahal Indian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (133) • $$

"Best Indian Food in Milwaukee. We continue to come back time and time again after trying many other Indian restaurants. They are always consistent with the quality of food, fantastic taste and great service. The owners really work hard and take pride in the delicious food they create. This has become our go to favorite Indian restaurant and I really hope you all go try it out. You won't be disappointed. It's become a tradition with my Boyfriend's family to meet here around every Thanksgiving to have a celebratory dinner with one another! AND if you like beer Old Monk is the best!!!"
