50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Lexington

“We enjoyed the omakase dinner at Akame restaurant. The restaurant is ultra small, just 6 seats during each seating so there plenty of opportunities to chat with chef and watch him create our dinner. I enjoyed creative combinations of flavors and textures. I loved all the fish offering, however my favorite turned out to be the four gras served on crispy rice crispies topped with yuzu jam and chocolate. Heavenly!
The restaurant is hidden away in an alley off Mass ave. We parked right in front of it, but did not see it, because the only sign is a black writing on the door which we could not see due to reflections. For reference, it is next to Fruitee Yogurt, which has bright signage.“

“Thanks to everyone at the Beijing restaurant in Lexington, Ma. I met my wife here, and have fond memories of our first meeting. Good food and great atmosphere! There is also a nice outside patio deck. Highly recommended. Thank you,
Mike & Qin“

“Absolutely delicious in it’s perfect simplicity!“

“Innovative and delicious.“

“This was my family's first visit to this location. We previously went to the location at the Prudential until it closed. The service was great. The food was seasoned to perfection and the drinks were delicious. We are so happy that we can still go to a restaurant that we truly enjoy.“

“Excellent food and delicious lobster 🦞“

“The oysters were fresh and i enjoyed the ambience!!!“

“Bartender James was the best! Thanks for the recommendation!!“

“We booked the private dining area and had a great experience. Service was great and we were not rushed at all. Food and drinks were good and the overall booking process with Zoey was easy and transparent.“

“My favorite hand roll place. Overall great food and speedy service. The handrolls are super fresh and come out quickly so everything stays fresh and flavorful. We ordered salmon mango, foe grais, miso butter cod and spicy scallops and all of them are really good. Highly recommend the spicy scallops. Our server Stelle are friendly, efficient, and keep things moving without rushing you. Easy spot for a really satisfying meal.“

“EXCELLENT service and fresh food!“

“I’d been wanting something spicy and carb-heavy for a long time, and this place absolutely hit the spot. Great for sharing, with spice levels to suit everyone. We tried the snow crab legs, shrimp po’ boy, and lobster rolls — the lobster rolls were the crowd favourite!

It is on the pricier side, but totally worth it for the quality and flavour. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be visiting again!“

“We were at JP Licks a few weeks ago and saw Bluefin across the street. It was new to us, and I checked out the menu on the website. My husband has A Thing for salmon BLT and frankly I do too, so when we saw that and salmon burgers listed we knew we'd want to check it out.

Yesterday we had our chance to go in for a late lunch/early dinner around 3 pm. We were the only people dining in, but other folks stopped on to get fresh oysters (and mussels?) to go. The atmosphere is pleasant; it's a small space, but they've made it feel airy and open.

The person at the counter was friendly and the service was great. I didn't order a drink with my sandwich and when I went back to him to buy a can of soda or something, he asked if we'd like glasses of ice water. (Not providing it by default makes sense to me, since some people don't want it and it's just wasteful then!)

I got the salmon BLT and my husband decided to try the burger. They came with a simple side salad of greens with a mild dressing, maybe just oil and salt? The sandwiches were delicious. The BLT was probably the better of the two but that's only because smoked salmon is so good. Whatever sort of bread they use on the BLT makes exceptional toast too.

The prices were comparable to similar fare in the area and the portions were good.

I didn't get any photos of the space or our food this time, but we plan to go back and will try to remember. I've seen a number of little places come and go in that location, but I hope Bluefin will be there to stay.“

“everything wonderful service food atmosphere“

“Great location with great staff. Their cocktails are so tasty and each dish was so special. We had their $75 course menu with à la carte shrimp toast and oysters. Would highly highly recommend their duck breast with fig puree and their green apple tart.“

“I have been going to Grassfields for many years and have been very pleased. The past few times I have been there I ordered the broiled scallops and have been disappointed. The muscle on the scallops are not removed which are very tough to eat. Also I feel they are gritty. I am hoping that someone reads this and corrects the issue because Grassfields is a lovely place.“

“1st time here. Have driven by hundreds of times......not sure what I was thinking....it took figuring out that you can't get Alaskan King crab legs at Legal Seafoods to force me to try this place out. Took an order to go. A+ yes messy....very messy the middle Hot sauce was excellent and everywhere. Good fun. Shared as an appetizer and we all agree Good stuff. They have "All you can Eat" on Sat and Sun I believe for $30 so a great deal. We will try again. Tiny place maybe 10-12 tables so use OpenTable. I tried Boston they did not have anything for 3-4 days at 7pm. Also had a Brookline reservation. There are ~24 locations in 8-10 states.“

“i’ve eaten here at least 50 times while living in medford.“

“Food was awesome and service was excellent too“

“Incredibly great food. Superb drinks. We came here for the first time about six weeks ago. Have been back every week! Very varied menu. Everything we have tried has been top
notch. Appetizers are excellent tuna tartare is the best I’ve ever had served with an avocado wasabi cream! . First rate steaks and crispy fries!!! Nightly specials are
fun. Tonight we had the pork Milanese, it was out of this world.
Even the atmosphere,
we prefer the bar side the lighting is perfect and the staff (Amina) are now friends!
Do yourself a favor and get here!!!“

“Dinner was outstanding, as usual. On my last 3 visits, I opted for the Sea Bass and the Lamb Chops. This time, I went with my old standby, the 8oz Filet. Cocktails were also good. Didn't drink any wine this visit. Bruno wasn't our assigned server, but he was quite helpful.“

“Pretty good roast beef. Colder beef than the usual NS beef but also cooked a little more which I like. (The typical NS completely raw beef grosses me out). You got to love the owner though. He's been serving beefs for like 40 years, waaay before they became a foodie fad. So if you say 3 way to him he'll look at you like you're a giant dork. I think its hilarious. But anyhow the food is pretty darn good for fast food. Oh and the prices are fair. He didnt jack up his prices 200% when 40-50% inflation hit over the past couple of years. He jacked up the prices to pretty much exactly what the inflation was.“

“I would like to express my gratitude to Blue Salt staff (with special thanks going to Igor) who made our special occasion so memorable! I needed to organize a nice dinner for 15 people for my son's birthday. The whole process was absolutely flawless - from initial contact with Igor who took care of all the planning and setup. When we arrived to the restaurant everything was ready and we were treated with utmost attention. The dinner was served family style and we had a chance to pick our menu selections to be shared. The portions were very generous, beautifully decorated and served, service was impeccable. The food was absolutely amazing! Everyone was beyond satisfied and happy. Thank you, thank you, thank you Igor and Blue Salt team! You made our event very special and unforgettable!“

“25 years I have been charged mine here. In all that time, never any less than fabulous!“

“Amazing food. Don't miss out on the pasta dishes or the bread. They actually make for great sharing apps. The staff is so nice and welcoming. Drinks are delicious and unique.“

“Left another place to come here because the customer service was bad. What a 180. Citizen staff was friendly, great w/suggestions and helped secure me a seat at their busy bar. Had two great cocktails and a delicious pepper seared filet. Well done Citizen Pub!! I will be back!“

“So we wanted some fresh oysters and we got more than we bargained for.. We sat at a very roomy contemporary bar and received the best service one could ask for on a Sunday .. GO SEE Denise !! Recommendations were on point to what we were looking for .. Denise was friendly hospitable great knowledge of her drinks and food and always served with a smile .. Her sidekick John who delivered the food was always smiling and friendly.. You have to go here to see Denise . She will make your day ..“

“The best food which I have not had in a long time. Ordered mild sauce but ended up with medium. Spicy but yummy“

“Row 34 Kenmore was excellent from start to finish. Our servers were friendly and helpful with negotiating the menu. The food is fantastic. Folks loved the Fluke and shrimp and grits, and the hot butter lobster roll was the best we've ever had. Also, you MUST try the butterscotch pudding, it's super-smooth and so delicious!“

“Awesome food!! Awesome people! ❤️❤️“

“My wife Sylvia brought me back 2 large roast beef sandwiches from Mikey’s in Billerica to Adams Run South Carolina. As you can see Mikey himself packed them up beautifully and the handled the plane ride perfectly! My next post will let you know how they taste. Sylvia got a junior beef when she was there and said it was fantastic! So tender and flavorful.“

“A really charming, attentive waiter was a big contribution to our enjoying eating at DRYFT. For the first time in a while, I actually left a bigger than 20% tip for someone. The food was good and reasonably priced and we enjoyed our meal. The calamari appetizer was huge. Only drawback is that the restaurant is extremely loud.“

“Amazing.“

“Went with friends this last weekend and had a great time. Service was top notch, food was well prepared and tasty, drinks were creative and delicious. We’ll be back!“

“Oh man this place is delicious! Had the General Tso’s Chicken and the sichuan dumplings to start. Everything was excellent, chicken was perfectly fried, but did not feel heavy, soo flavorful. Would recommend, come again, and try more menu items.“

“Genuinely awe-struck by the size of that Super Beef. Next time I'll order it light sauce because this swimming pool trend is insane, but the beef was outstanding, the peppered sauce had a great bite. Staff was awesome and cordial. Dining room is... Hey it has chairs and tables. Fine for me.“

“Todo muy bueno y la atención de primera“

“We love this place! Always fresh, absolutely delicious. The people working here are amazing - efficient, knowledgeable, super friendly on the phone and in person. What more could you ask for?“

“Muqueca Restaurante é simplesmente o melhor dos melhores restaurantes com a melhor culinária de comidas típicas Brasileira que tem aqui 🇺🇸! Tudo de primeira qualidade feito com amor ! Atendimento excelente, preços não vou nem falar,somente vocês indo lá para comer e saberá! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I love StockYard. We haven't been in a long time as we moved faraway. Now, after 10 years we came back and it was like we never stopped coming to eat here. The food was super delicious. The NY Sirloin, and the tenderness of the Fille Minog was extraordinary. Outstanding customer service. The drinks were superb. And the complimentary chocolate cake with ice cream for Father's day was out of this world. Thank you.“

“Amazing food and good service. I will go back.“

“I had a wonderful dinner with my girlfriend at Over the Charles. The food was excellent, and the view was absolutely breathtaking. We watched the moon rise, which made the evening even more special. The staff surprised my girlfriend with a birthday cake, which was such a thoughtful and much-appreciated gesture.“

“i love their food and so is family i highly recommend them“

“Really great experience. The service from Yesenia and another gentlemen were excellent. The food was amazing, we got a ceviche with amazing flavor, very refreshing with a hint of spice to it. The lomo saltado was very flavorful and tender. Looking forward to coming back here.“

“The staff and management are always super nice and the food delicious! Guaranteed good time!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Stone Pot Green Pepper Fish was absolutely amazing! 🔥

It arrived at the table still sizzling, and the aroma instantly made everyone hungry. The fish was incredibly tender and fresh, with no fishy taste at all. Every bite was soft, flaky, and perfectly cooked.

The green peppers added a bright, fragrant heat — spicy but not overwhelmingly intense. The broth had a subtle numbing kick from Sichuan peppercorns, but it didn’t overpower the natural flavor of the fish. Everything was well-balanced and layered with flavor.

It pairs perfectly with white rice, and honestly, I couldn’t stop eating it. So happy to find such authentic Sichuan flavor in Boston. Definitely a must-order dish and one I will come back for! 🔥“

“Star Fish ? has been around for a long time but this is the first time I’ve had them. I had a small fish sandwich ? though the condiments are light like only ketchup, Mayo, Tartar sauce or Hot sauce so no lettuce, tomato etc. which I think would have made my sandwich even better. But it still was very good overall??.“

“I went season 52 tonight for thanksgiving dinner , for the first time , the restaurant is amazing great atmosphere , The food was unbelievable, the best thanksgiving dinner ever , excellent service by Jodi M , she’s was very nice, polite and friendly I highly recommend this place ! I will be back for sure .“
