Great place to impress, or just to have a nice meal.. Friendly and helpful staff, and the food is excellent and presentation is great..
Been going here for nearly 20 years. Tonight was no exception for the best seafood and service ever. Such great value. Thanks to Danny and your wonderful staff. 10/10
Used a deals.com voucher - absolutely amazing value. Standouts for me were the King Prawn Spring Rolls (3 per serve; succulent with crispy outer + spicy dipping sauce) and the Chocolate + Raspberry Fondant; rich but lovely. Will definitely return and happily pay 'full fare'. Service also friendly and attentive. FYI, BYO wine possible if not using a voucher.
The Richmond Seafood Tavern is conspicuous by its Fitzroy North Location (presumably it relocated from Richmond at some point). One thing that you need to be aware of is that this 'tavern' serves no ordinary pub grub - it's pretty swish dining with prices that reflect that. This is a nice seafood restaurant, not a tavern.
The fish here is exceptional. The King George Whiting is beautifully cooked even if the presentation is austere (you'll see from photos some pretty bare looking crumbed fillets). But the taste is fantastic, and my go to for seafood in the inner north.
Also good are the entrees. I can't go past the oysters - natural, Kilpatrick and Morney - all deliciously prepared. My only criticism is the lack of complementary sides (eg chips, veggies or salad), and on occasion the service is a little carefree, particularly given the price point of the food. But these are small things in what is a worthy seafood restaurant.
Bought a scoopon and were a bit worried by the dark side street entrance but we and had a really great experience Chowder was fab one of the best , prawn linguine was faultless and desert salt caramel tart and ice cream was also great We will def be back Staff friendly and service quick we loved it
A hidden gem in North Fitzroy... Bug tails done in Honey and Sesame; Procuttio wrapped scollops and a Lobster Gnocci that a Nonna would be proud of!!!
Easily the best Seafood in Melbourne - we will be back!
Absolutely love this cute little restaurant in Fitzroy. Great attentive service, nice homey feel but best of all their food is fabulous. I had the pearl perch and my wife had the King George Whiting. Both were excellent but mine was probably the best fish dish I’ve ever had, and I eat fish a lot. The style was the fancy one but can’t remember exactly what it was. You’ll know it when you see it. Absolute recommendation. Tummy rumbling just thinking about it!
An absolute must go to for seafood. It doesn't look promising from the outside, but inside everything changes. It's a lovely setting, there is very attentive and good service; the staff made us feel appreciated. The food topped this of. We had a three course meal each and everything was prepared to perfection - well balanced and just a delight to eat honestly. Making seafood special without overpowering the seafood.
Oh and try the chocolate fondant as a desert!
Great food, atmosphere and staff! We have gone several times with friends and while I agree parking can be tough the fish is always fresh and tasty. My favourite dish by far was the calamari, they give it a really light dusting and it is delicious. Also there is a great little bar for pre drinks and the wine list is very reasonably priced.
Nice spot for some good quality seafood. This place has been there for a long time and they know how to do seafood well. It's good without being amazing. The seafood is really fresh, the entrees were a bit of hit and miss but if you stick to the classics it's not a bad meal.
Absolutely sensational seafood for a fancy night out. It's not cheap but totally worth it. Fantastic service and wine list. I highly recommend the Moreton Bay bugs and the pan fried fish. Fine dining the way I like it: simple recipes with quality ingredients, cooked perfectly.
Old school seafood dining and service experience ....... with a bloody good Seafood Linguine and Chocolate Fondant dessert.
Stand alone "pub" style building, not in your typical "foodie" centrum area, worth the find and enjoyable dining experience. JT-29/08/2017.

I was just craving for seafood chowder and that’s what led me and my friend to this restaurant. It was closer to the freeway and there’s a parking available for customers.
Seafood chowder - moment of Silence. I want to savour the flavour so much I had to shut my friend so I can enjoy it… which I did.
Scallops, oysters and the seafood pasta were all served beautifully. The chef has spread his love to the meals they served. We will come back again with our husbands. We took the liberty to make them jealous with the food.
Service was good and the staff were very attentive. Well done you guys!!!
I’m so happy my friend decided to have his birthday celebration here! Food was stunning on some of the dishes were extraordinarily good. As you can see from the pictures, we ordered a lot as we were a big party!
The chili prawns, soft shell crab and gnocchi is out of this world beautiful! Strongly recommend that! Generally speaking, everything is good. But please order the three mentioned above!
Hands down the best seafood restaurant in Melbourne! Been going there regularly ever since I was introduced to it by a friend, the hidden gem in our neighbourhood! The service is also super friendly and laid back, nothing pretentious, just the most fresh and delicious seafood!
In love.
Behind the most uninspiring entrance door, is the most spectacular restaurant bar.
Decor was a fusion of tavern and fine dining, a little unsure at first. An inexperienced waiter, made up for it with his enthusiasm, and older waitresses (maybe the owner/managers) were very knowledgeable and efficient. I love it.
All doubts were expelled at the first slurp of the seafood chowder!
With pieces of scallops, prawns and calamari, this was the best seafood chowder I've ever had. This literally left a smile on our faces at the first taste!
Next came the perfectly cooked mussels in an acidic tomato broth, with shallots and capsicum. A large bowl for only $16. Well worth it!
Our main meal to share was the gnocchi with lobster tails in a champagne sauce.
For $40 a plate, RST was not shy with their lobster portions. The meal was basically 50% gnocchi and 50% lobster pieces.
Paired with beautiful wines, this was one of the best restaurant experiences we've had in a long time xx
This is the best seafood restaurant in Melbourne have been to RST many times, with family & friends and each time it's been a great experience. The food is excellent, the service is great and Danny the owner is a great host. Highly recommended. Dino Scaramuzzo
Another great place to eat, fine dining with great service.
Freshest seafood with a wide range of modern dishes.
Don't let the exterior fool you because inside is full of gourmet delights. My new fav seafood joint in Melbourne
Loved this place so much we went twice in 2 weeks! Seafood is fresh, and the service is fantastic. A little on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for. Definitely recommend this place to all if you’re looking for somewhere that has great seafood!
