Best Seafood Restaurants in Midtown South

Benjamin Steakhouse Prime doubles as a power steakhouse and serious seafood house, with a raw bar and broiled fish sharing space with dry-aged beef. Midtown regulars lean on it for client dinners where surf-and-turf and clubby service are expected.

All-you-can-eat Japanese wagyu and seafood with a rare focus on A5 abundance rather than single-cut theatrics. The experience is timed and package-based, leaning into indulgence and variety, with strong value relative to the beef on offer. New in Koreatown, it’s a buzzy, high-sensory room that rewards strategic ordering.

Ramerino brings a Tuscan-accented Italian steakhouse to Midtown East, pairing prime cuts and handmade pastas with a handsome, softly lit dining room. It’s used as much for business dinners near Bryant Park as for classic New York date nights built around branzino, pappardelle and a strong wine list.

A stylish cocktail-forward room that doubles as a small-plates dinner stop, with oysters and seafood-leaning bites that work well alongside drinks. It shines most as a late-evening hang: order the raw-bar items, a rich shareable pasta, and treat mains as optional.
