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“

“everything wonderful service food atmosphere“

“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.“

“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!“

“The food is delicious! It is a small cafe/shop and the seating is nice but seems to be more take out and just a small shop for fresh seafood or take away.

The lobster sliders with lobster bisque was excellent. Nice big pieces of meat, buttery roll, not too much sauce. The lobster bisque was creamy but not too thick. Lots of flavor and good oyster crackers.

Friendly people.“

“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.“

“EXCELLENT service and fresh food!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Food was great! Service was not. Took about 20 minutes to get our first round of drinks. I ordered the soup to start and had to wait 10 minutes for a spoon after it was delivered. We had a couple online gift cards to use and even though there is an QR code listed, there is no way for the restaurant to scan them...so the waitress had to write down the number and run it manually. She had the manager come over to tell us one of the gift cards didn't work and we needed to call some number to sort it out. I suggested we double check the gift card number first and was told in a condescending tone “we can but we have this issue a lot”.....she had written the number wrong so it was their fault. It was just a really disappointing experience at an upscale restaurant that we have visited a lot in the past. They also took the bohemian cocktail off their menu and that was the best!“

“Stylish and lively restaurant with excellent fresh seafood.
The oysters were delicious, as were the various fish dishes we ordered. The drinks were also excellent.
A great spot for a nice dinner out or just drinks at the bar.“

“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!“

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

“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 ..“

“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.“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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?“

“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.“

“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??.“

“The woman who waited on me and my family was incredibly kind. We have a wheelchair bound daughter and I just hope the know how come the made us feel plus the food was amazing. Save room for a cappuccino and tiramisu!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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! 🔥“

“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.“

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