Best Seafood Restaurants in Roseland

We were attending a concert at the Wellmont Theater on a Sunday evening so we decided to have dinner there beforehand. We found free parking at a meter on one of the side streets. We were greeted by the friendly hostess and asked which of two tables we would like. The place is narrow but decor was clean and modern. Bathrooms were also clean. All in all, the atmosphere is nice but maybe a little stark. Our waiter asked us about which water we’d like and if we’d like wine (Laboratorio is a BYOB). We had forgotten ours, and he told us we could order and a runner would bring it to us-that was nice. The wine options were plentiful and the wines were reasonably priced. The waiter was friendly and pleasant. We were promptly given two tap waters which were cold and clean, along with two very hot rolls and a side of salted butter. The butter melted nicely on the hot rolls and they were delicious. For dinner entrees we had the Prime NY Strip Steak Au Poivre (medium rare) which came with mashed potatoes and carrots and the Western Ross Atlantic Salmon (medium) which came with mashed potatoes and green beans. Both were delicious and cooked perfectly. Many restaurants tend to overcook a medium salmon- not this one. It was opaque, yet soft and tender. The steak was red/pink as expected, and very flavorful. The peppercorn sauce was good too. In fact, we shared the entrees and between us we ate every last bite. We had the ice cream sundae for dessert, and the vanilla ice cream was very creamy. It could have used a little more of the chocolate sauce, but the whipped cream was plentiful. When the bill came, we were surprised that it was so reasonable. The only reason we rated the service a 4 instead of 5, was that we did have to wait a little long for a water refill and we poured our own wine refills after the waiter poured the first one. We will definitely be going back to try some of the other dishes when we see our next show.

Enjoyed food and waitress was very nice and friendly I

Friendly, competent service, delicious food, delivered at an appropriate pace. On a biting cold night, the fireplaces were a lovely experience

My favorite restaurant for the over 10 years, reliable food, a good full pour of a drink and a warm greeting. 

The paella was outstanding. Generous portion that as cooked to perfection. The pistachio gelato is a must. Great meal at a friendly local venue.
