50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Dartmouth

“This is a great place to grab a drink and listen to live music. Not a place I would grab food again. I’ve given it a couple of tries and the food both times has taken a long time to come out. First time we had a large group (place was empty) but we decided to give it another try recently. We didn’t have elaborate meals - 3 meals for takeout. Salad, chicken and chips, and grilled tenders and cucumber salad. My allergy free salad had a crouton in it the first time I ate there and the chicken has dark black grill marks. The second time I ordered it with the house dressing and beef tips - it was told to me it was gluten and dairy free. Once I got the salad home, I realized they had packed blue cheese instead. The beef tips on it were terrible as well. The manager/owner comes out to discuss allergens but it doesn’t appear that anyone checks the orders like at other restaurants I have been to. I’m aware it’s always a risk going out but that shows they didn’t put attention to my gluten allergy free order either time. The cucumber salad was soggy and disgusting, not prepared that day. It’s an awesome place to check out for a drink and music but the food (at least options we selected) were not great regardless of the allergy vs non allergy items. Definitely check out for a drink and the music, great atmosphere for that.“

“My husband and I came for lunch for the first time and I’ve never had Korean bbq or hot pot before and this was such an amazing experience!! The food was amazing and our waitress was great too.“

“Absolutely adore The Sail Loft. The restaurant is full of natural light and a harbor view. Clean, airy, serene. The staff are incredibly friendly and professional. The management team and owners are visible and greet us whenever they see us. The food is outstanding. My significant other and I always go with a ceasar salad, with house made croutons, lemon dressing and crispy chicken. It hits the spot everytime. We've also had the brownie sundae - our little guilty pleasure. We have been three times and each time everything has been top notch. The surrounding shops are also darling and worth a visit. Highly recommend Sail Loft.“

“I would highly recommend Little Moss. Creative menu. Very comfortable dining experience. Terrific service. Food was delicious. Soft shell crab and Foaccia bread and ricotta for apps were a great way to start off the night. It only got better from there.“

“The Food and Service is Top Notch, our Server Taylor was Awesome, and All Our Meals were Delicious, Definitely 5 stars.“

“Always a joy! Food is delicious, whether I get something big or small. Service is on point even when it's busy. Decor is well-balanced-- not gaudy or bland. Price is very reasonable as well. Best Chinese food in the area! Definitely recommended!“

“My adult daughters and I stayed down the street for a week so were able to visit The back eddy a couple of times. The food and service were great. The second time I really wanted a lobster so spent the $45!! However, for that price I’m surprised they can’t throw in fries and coleslaw!!! Ridiculous“

“Thankful that our waitress was very familiar with the menu! I stepped out of my normal shell and decided to try the lobster ravioli - it was AMAZING!!!! Not too rich and the sauce was perfect! I'm not a huge fan of marinara sauce and that's why my hesitation but the creamy sauce was absolutely delightful! Thank you for the wonderful dinner for our large crowd! Staff were all super helpful and friendly!“

“Always enjoy my selections, have tried many different dishes,lastly being your tuna melt( enjoyed) and was enough for two meals.Hubby is picky eater(always orders your clam chowder) along with some type of seafood.Thanks 👍“

“Some of the best people to do business with..“

“Just had the Monday Omakase and it was fantastic. So many different cuts of tuna not even sure what was the best. So stuffed by the end of the meal I couldn’t even have dessert. Also, a really fun atmosphere and a real learning experience.“

“wagyu burgers are delicious a must try if you love burgers“

“Gastronomic heaven! Great ambience and excellent service!“

“Awesome place friendly staff great service 🤘🤘🤘“

“I got fish and chips, and the fish was delicious, and cooked perfectly. The fries weren't salted, which I'm not a huge fan of personally...

My only complaint (and it's more of a preference) is that they put sweet relish in their tarter sauce. I'm a firm believer in dill relish only for tarter sauce!“

The crew is nice, the place is clean n comfortable!
I like a lot to go there pick up my food specially when the adorable n beautiful Jennifer is working“

Dietary restrictions: I had an allergy in my table with nuts, they took care of that without any issues

Parking: Lots of parking, a whole lot

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. Clean and colorful. Always see kids here having a great time. Highchairs, crayons etc etc

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp goes right up into building“

“This is the seafood joint we were looking for!! Fresh fried seafood that comes out hot! Big servings for a honest price. The staff was nice and the seating was cute and decorated so fun! Has restrooms. The platter with clam strips was perfect to share. Fried scallops were amazing! Cold lobster roll was a surprise, wish it was hot but was still good! Only thing we didn’t really like was the chowder.“

“Excellent source for all of the finest of seafoods! I might be a bit biased though. :)“

“From the sea to the boat to your table, fresh as fresh can be, great service and you can grab some snacks on the way out from the lobster tank and whatever else you might want to enjoy bring home!O the price is exactly what you want it to be which is fair!“

“Not the first time at Portas da Cidade, but first time at a review. I must say I have been served by Frank a couple of times and for sure definitely need to put in a review based on the service. Food is always exquisite but the service from Frank is 5 stars. Frank is attentive and knows what you like and need, and not to mention top notch classy. Paulo and Carina Chibante“

“Oh my goodness, we had the BEST experience at this restaurant. The restaurant has a comfortable, family like feel. You can tell most of the people are regulars. The food was excellent seafood, fresh and well prepared. Each dish our large group got was thoroughly enjoyed. But, the BEST part of the experience was our waitress, Joyelle. She was the only waitress in the room, which she took control of with ease, and she was so funny. My dad's a jokester, and she gave it right back. We had a lot of fun and we laughed and laughed. She took great care of us. So, couple divine food with an amazing personality taking care of us - you get perfection.“

“This quaint local treasure was recommended by a friend who lived in the area long ago. The food was great but our server Darlene stole the show. She said she has been working there for 47 years, Wow! She had us laughing with some of her experiences. What a great experience.“

“Amazing atmosphere and great food!!!“

“I was there for an event. The food was very good I had fish & my husband had steak & chicken. He said both were good. He's doesn't give good reviews often & he said the steak was so good. I also heard others say the same. Pictured was the buffet. The rolls were very soft, the potatoes were good too.“

I make my own but this I could drink by the glass!! Lol 😂“
