1. Ocean Prime
Topping the list is Ocean Prime. Located at 2915 Coolidge Highway, the steakhouse and New American spot, which offers seafood and more, is the highest rated upscale seafood restaurant in Troy, boasting four stars out of 369 reviews on Yelp.
Voted “Best in Troy” by the Troy Chamber of Commerce, Ocean Prime offers fine dining with the options for private seating and a bar lounge area to sip on cocktails. Whether it be Sunday brunch, lunch or dinner, the restaurant features multiple seafood dishes.
Start off your meal with a chilled crab meat cocktail or lobster bisque.

Or go for the teriyaki salmon in soy butter sauce and served with shiitake sticky rice.
