Julians
Bring a date to one of Santa Fe's most romantic dining rooms and together enjoy authentic Italian creations and a fine wine list in a soft, jazzy atmosphere. You can't get a more delicious seafood stew outside of Italy than the Caciucco alla Livornese, a mix of shrimp, lobster, clams, mussels, halibut and squid cooked to perfection in a distinctive tomato sauce. Veal aficionados can order the tender, rich Osso Buco alla Milanese.

Chart House
Perch on a barstool and let yourself be mesmerized by the 75,000-gallon tropical fish aquarium that’s the centerpiece of this splashy seafood restaurant. The stuffed flounder, spiced yellowfin, macadamia-crusted mahi, crunchy coconut shrimp and seasonal stone crab claws on your plate are the real stars, though. Knock-out appetizers include a kimchi-flavored seafood martini and a zingy hummus trio.

Delmonico Steakhouse
Bam! Big oak doors open into a vault-ceilinged space. Designed by celebrity TV chef Emeril Lagasse, the cuts are ready for prime time and the influences are Creole, as seen in the grilled pork chops with bourbon smashed potatoes. Desserts seem endless, from country peach pie with buttermilk ice to apple-and-cheddar cheese bread pudding and beyond. Reservations recommended.

Michael Mina
An adventurous fusion menu of ocean delights whispers of savory black mussel soufflé and Maine lobster in Thai coconut cream. Sadly, the experience doesn’t quite measure up to the sky-high prices, and the restaurant is close to the crushing conservatory crowds. Michael Mina’s Seablue at the MGM Grand is a more value-conscious choice.

Oyster Bar
You might have to queue for a seat at this little ol’ seafood shack, incongruously situated in the middle of a busy locals’ casino floor. But you’ll know it was worth the wait once you taste the Cajun seafood gumbo and étouffée, steamed mussels and clams or San Francisco cioppino stew. Key-lime torte and NYC-style cheesecake are such sweet endings. No reservations.

Gruet Steakhouse at the Monte Vista
Ensconced in the former, historic Monte Vista Fire Station, this fine-dining establishment is owned by the Gruet Winery. As a result, you'll enjoy a great wine-and-steak pairing here. Although you'll probably have something like steak salad, they also have a fair amount of seafood. Upstairs, the popular bar spills onto a balcony overlooking the nighttime scene.

Shugrue’s Hillside Grill
With panoramic views and an outdoor deck to enjoy them, this restaurant is perfect if you want top-drawer food but don’t feel like dressing up. Fresh fish prepared in umpteen ways is just one reason this place is perennially packed to the gills. At lunchtime, the spinach and wild mushroom quiche is so feistily flavored, even manly men will love it.

American Fish
From the fertile mind of chef Michael Mina, Aria’s upstairs seafood house keeps things simple. Choose your fish cooked one of four elemental ways: poached, baked in sea salt, grilled or wood-smoked. Delicate shellfish appetizers such as abalone stew, seasonal garden vegetable sides and exquisite cocktails are all stand-outs. Reservations recommended.

Rm Seafood
New York chef Rick Moonen takes a dual approach to the sustainable catch of the day. Upstairs in the restaurant, relish haute American seafood dinners. The downstairs cafe, furnished with rich mahogany booths, offers a more expansive menu, a raw shellfish and sushi bar, and a unique ‘biscuit bar’ serving warm seafood salads.

Bartolotta Ristorante Di Mare
Yet another of Wynn's stable of James Beard Award winners, chef Paul Bartolotta interprets fresh seafood flown in daily from Europe in a Mediterranean style, along with fresh-made pastas. The spiny lobster all' acqua pazza (literally, 'crazy water') is a signature dish.

Roxy's
Inside the Eldorado, this is one of Reno's best casino restaurants. Snuggle into a red velvet booth or sit on the indoor patio overlooking the Fountain of Fortune. Food here is mostly of the meat-and-seafood persuasion and best preceded by one of Roxy's 100 martinis.

Seablue
Anything from Nantucket Bay scallops to Gulf shrimp to Manila clams comes raw, fried, steamed and roasted out of two exhibition kitchens. Create your own mix-and-match salads from a long list of farm-fresh ingredients, and then swallow a fanciful lobster corn dog.

Village Seafood Buffet
From the same casino-hotel that brings you Carnival World, this buffet is for those who just can’t get enough crab legs, baby lobster tails and oysters, plus salads, pasta and fresh-baked breads.

Mariscos 'La Playa'
Mexican-style seafood, including caldo 'El Mejor'- a tomato-based soup with shrimp, octopus, scallops, clams, crab and calamari - goes well with an agave wine margarita.
