In Short
Once upon a time this Rittenhouse Square-area seafooder was more of a fish retailer with a few tables. Following a stylish re-do around 2003, Seafood Unlimited reinvented itself as a comfortable seafood restaurant--that also sells fish. Standouts include some of the city's best chowders--both New England and Manhattan, seared yellow fin tuna nicoise salad and oysters on the half shell, and of course steamed lobster stuffed with crabmeat.

This place has been around forever, from a fish seller with picnic tables in the back, to a rather elegant restaurant with beautiful interior that still sells fish up front. The fish is fresh and delicious, either simply prepared or fancier, the oyster crackers and horseradish are the best, the creamed spinach and salad and vegetables are a treat, and believe it or not, they have THE BEST chocolate mousse in the world. You owe it to yourselves to go.

A somewhat hidden treasure for seafood lovers. This tiny tiny restaurant is located just off Rittenhouse Square. It specializes in all things fresh seafood. There are only a few tables, and there is often a wait. There is also a small bar up front. I highly recommend.

First of all, the mussels were plump and delicious, not measly like at many other restaurants. My server urged me to cobia, which I'd never even heard of. It was prepared deliciously with a panko and wasabi crust over jasmine rice with lime sauce. Absolutely lovely. It's nice to walk in and actually see the beautiful fish on ice. You can see what you're going to eat before it's cooked. The menu is huge! I respect a crabcake that's called an "all crab crabcake" on the menu. I have to comeback and try that and the Ahi Tuna, which looked gorgeous in a server's hands as she whisked by to another fortunate patron. It's certainly an inexpensive restaurant too. With a bottle of wine, 2 entrees and a heaping bowl of mussels, the check was only $75. I took a star off simpily because the desserts didn't excite me. With a menu that huge and creative, I would have liked to finish off with a dessert that would knock my socks off. Still, I'll be back again and again.
