Best Seafood Restaurants in South Street

We were a party of 8 on a very busy night for dining out in Philly. We had such a fun night at Viola Bistro. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was excellent!

Had a great experience. We loved this spot when it was previously a restaurant and now love it just as much as the new owners took over. Choices were abundant, service was great, atmosphere was comfortable. Solid choice.

We arrived for an early dinner and dined on a variety of appetizers and entrees from a vegetarian pasta to octopus salad, it was all excellent. The staff were extremely attentive. We all agreed that we are definitely coming back.

I took clients to Loch Bar. The experience was amazing. Chef Quincy Logan went over the top. The food was amazing and having the chef come to the table to explain the food we were about to eat elevated the experience. The server staff was on point and very attentive. We will definitely be back!!

The food is great but this review is pointless, as Devon Seafood Grill will be closing in a few weeks. The opening was a toasty lobster & crab salad roll sandwich, followed by the mixed seafood grill: shrimp, scallops, salmon, crab cake & grilled asparagus. All was seasoned & cooked to perfection. The side dish, king crab fried rice was a letdown. It was over-salted and tasted much strongly of bacon than crab. Surprise: the champagne was half-price (going out of business sale?) and the final coffee was freshly brewed & excellent. Bottom line: Typically expensive for Center City Philly, but the food was first-rate and the ambience was elegant but relaxing. I'm disappointed my first visit to DSG will also be my last. So I guess if you can get there in the next -2weeks, I say "treat yourself." Otherwise, hope the next restaurant to fill the space serves food of similar quality.
