35 Best Seafood Restaurants near Natick

“Food is very flavorful! Truly a hole in the wall and found it by chance cause we didn't want to eat inside Natick Mall.
The tom yum was flavorful with a kick, it's on the sweet side which I like. The curry with the duck is very tasty. No fancy decoration or table setting. Nice staff and good tasting Thai food, no BS! 👍“

“The food was just as I remembered“

“Our Girl Scout troop met at the Framingham location for ice cream and a Valentine’s Day card swap. The staff was friendly and accommodating to our large, high-energy group. They had excellent food allergy protocols. Great ice cream and reasonable prices.“

“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 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!“

“Here’s a polished version in the style of a food critic:

From the moment you step inside, the restaurant makes a strong first impression. Soaring ceilings and a whimsical underwater theme create a distinctive atmosphere, with imaginative light fixtures resembling streams of ocean bubbles and colorful octopus murals adorning the walls. The space feels inviting, thoughtfully designed, and impeccably maintained. Guests can also take advantage of the outdoor dining area, which adds to the restaurant’s appeal.

The kitchen delivers where it matters most. The octopus appetizer, frequently praised by diners, lives up to its reputation with excellent flavor and preparation. The pasta dishes were equally impressive, showcasing well-balanced flavors and expertly executed textures. Each plate demonstrated attention to detail and a solid command of technique.

Service, however, proved to be the restaurant’s weakest point. Despite arriving around 1 p.m. during a relatively quiet period, the pace of the meal was noticeably slow. Given the light crowd, a more efficient turnaround would have been expected. The dining experience was further hindered by inattentive service, as our server checked on the table only once throughout the meal.

Overall, the restaurant offers an enjoyable dining experience highlighted by creative design and well-executed cuisine. While the food is certainly worth trying, the combination of sluggish service and premium pricing makes the value proposition less compelling. At this price point, there are stronger dining options available that deliver a more complete experience.“

“Amazing.“

“Manolo was definitely one of the better Brazilian restaurants we have tried in the New England area! We are so happy that our friends brought us here to try, complete with an extensive menu and gorgeous ambience with plenty of space. The filet mignon bites combo served in Brazilian Creamy Cheese Sauce with yuca fries was extremely tender and flavorful and absolutely delicious. The caipirinhas drinks (we tried the strawberry, lime, and passion fruit flavors) were all made to perfection as well. We'll definitely be back!“

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

“I frequent this deli as the ones in my town are not that great. It helps that my son loves Superette sandwiches and subs. The turkey Fitzgerald is a classic and their bread and meats are always fresh. Also a plaid we can get Framingham Baking Pizza without having to go all the way to Framingham. Probably go back every 2 weeks.“

“We stopped in on the way home from the airport, and it was amazing! From the moment we walked in the door, we felt welcomed. The atmosphere and food were awesome. I highly recommend the Mickey’s Chicken special and the red sangria which was a deep dark red- as sangria should be. Yum! My children loved our Irish waitress who Made them laugh and feel special. This restaurant is over an hour from where we live, but there is no doubt we will travel back often. Wonderful experience!“

“I can not express my absolute gratitude for my extras night. I thought I was going for my birthday but turned out to be my engagement and Scott did a great job and great cover story to keep that surprise from me. The food was absolutely amazing. But our serves Joe and Tyrone were absolute rock stars . Thank you all for making it one memorable night for me.“

“Went out for my birthday dinner with friends and had a great time. Our server Walter was amazing and kept us laughing with great service. All 6 of us really enjoyed our food.

“We LOVE Kravings!! There is always something for each member of our family to enjoy when we go there for dinner. The owners are amazing and so is their ice cream. Definitely recommend 100%“

“Had a party of 16... The team took great care of us. Gave us time to talk and mingle, and even be a bit of a pain around ordering time... Drinks were fast, food was awesome, staff made it great.
We ended up at a 'long table' and the busy kitchen aisle, a bit loud (and we were probably too to others)... May need to ensure a 'room' next time.“

“Went to this restaurant after seeing it featured on Phantom Gourmet and my husband and myself left full of good food. The food was tasty and came to our table ready to eat and the service was great! They gave us everything we needed in a timely manner. The restaurant was on a smaller scale but we got a table pretty quickly without making a reservation. We even had the dessert of the strawberry shaved ice which had a bowl that was big enough to easily feed the two of us and it was very delicious!“

“The food was very good! My salmon was cooked just how I love it. The pineapple rice was delicious and to top it all off a to die for desert! The Irish cream cheese cake was the best!“

“This is our go to in the area. I’m not sure if there’s new management or not this last few years or so, but something happened and now the food is magical. There’s a small indoor eating area, but I’ve observed maybe a handful of folks use it in the last 5 years or so. I have seen 10 simultaneous pick up orders crowd the front desk though.“

“Emma and Maryna gave me really good customer service super friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful from start to finish.
The food was just as good—everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. You can tell they put effort into the quality, and it definitely shows.“

“Can’t wait to go back again.“
