In its serene corner of Orange County, 100 Main Restaurant delights diners with casual fare that loops in all the favorites. For seafood lovers, appetizing items can be found on both the lunch and dinner menus. In the afternoon, look to the mussels in terracotta for the perfect appetizer, or plan to order the red tuna tartare if you swing by for dinner. Also on the dinner menu, the cod alla Mediterranea with grape tomatoes and homemade focaccia crostini is an ideal main course for those who want something fresh that’s not overly heavy.

If Italian food is what you seek, look no further than Aroma Osteria in Wappingers Falls. Seafood appears as a secondo on both the lunch and dinner menus, so there’s no going wrong here. For lunch, make a beeline for the gamberoni alla griglia, featuring marinated and grilled Gulf shrimp served over Sicilian caponata. Once the dinner hour arrives, the restaurant switches over to its nasello arrosto, pan-roasted Chatham black cod that’s also served over Sicilian caponata.

Butterfield treats diners right during Restaurant Week. While the whole menu — and we’re talking lunch and dinner here — is more than a little mouthwatering, diners would do well to opt for the crab cake with jumbo lump crab and red pepper aioli for lunch or the seared trout with shaved asparagus for dinner. Also on the dinner menu, the smoked trout pate as an appetizer is the perfect way to whet the appetite.

You might not think a dedicated pasta restaurant would be the first place to go for seafood, but you certainly shouldn’t pass up a visit to Constantino’s, which is located just over the state line in Greenwich. On its Restaurant Week lunch menu, the eatery offers calamari to start, followed by a substantial selection of pastas and handhelds (chicken ranch, anyone?) as entrees. Dinner offers even more seafood fare, with not one, but two surf-style appetizers from which to choose: mussels marinara and clams oreganata. No matter which option you select, don’t skip out on the shrimp Francese for the main course.

The Dutchess County eatery serves up lunch and dinner delights, with seafood options featuring prominently on both the appetizer and main course sections of the menus. Diners can start off with jumbo shrimp cocktail or golden brown fried shrimp as an appetizer for either lunch or dinner. In the afternoon, opt for the blackened shrimp wrap, which features jumbo blackened shrimp with avocado, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and chipotle mayo. Once evening rolls around, try the shrimp scampi, a linguini pasta dish with scampi sauce, jumbo shrimp, cherry tomatoes, capers, and fresh herbs.
