Our small wedding at Blue Salt was absolutely perfect! A special thank you to Igor, the owner, for making our day so memorable. He has an amazing team-Olyga and Yulia went above and beyond to ensure every detail was flawless.
The food was delicious, the service exceptional, and the atmosphere beautiful. We highly recommend Blue Salt for any special occasion!

We had two events for which we used Blue Salt. For the first one we had a gathering for 25 people at the restaurant. For the second event we used Blue Salt catering services. Both events went very well! The staff was very accommodating and polite. Everything was done in a timely manner, and as promised. The food was excellent and the portions were very generous, so we enjoyed the leftovers for a while! I highly recommend Blue Salt and I will definitely use their services again!

I had a wonderful experience at Blue Salt Restaurant! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — every dish we tried was a hit. But what made our visit truly memorable was the exceptional service from Amar. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. His warm personality and professionalism really stood out. Highly recommend this place👍

We were really looking forward to a special romantic dinner, which our daughter had arranged for us through OpenTable. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we learned that the restaurant was actually hosting a special event that evening, and regular dining wasn’t available. We were offered a plastic table outside the restaurant. Not quite the atmosphere we were hoping for, so we left. We understand that mix-ups happen, but it was a disappointing surprise. We hope the reservation system and communication with guests can be improved in the future.

Incredible Local Gem – Blue Salt Exceeds Expectations

Blue Salt in Newton is hands-down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in the Boston area. From the moment we walked in, everything was top-notch—welcoming service, relaxing ambiance, and beautifully executed food.

The seafood is the star here. We started with the grilled octopus (perfectly tender with just the right char) and tuna tartare, both bursting with flavor. For mains, the branzino and squid ink pasta were absolute standouts—fresh, expertly cooked, and plated with care. Even the side vegetables were amazing.

Cocktails were creative and well-balanced, and the wine list pairs perfectly with the Mediterranean-influenced menu. We finished with the olive oil cake, which was light, citrusy, and the perfect end to a flawless meal.

Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about our experience. Prices are very fair for the high quality. Blue Salt feels like fine dining without the fuss.

If you’re looking for a memorable seafood-focused restaurant in Newton or greater Boston, this is it. Can’t wait to go back!

Disappointed doesn’t even begin to cover it. After doing a little research about the area, this seemed like a solid choice for my colleague and I to stop for a meal before a work event. Boy were we mistaken. The first red flag should have been that there were not any other diners in the restaurant. We ordered the baked Brie as an appetizer- that was ok. Nothing to write home about. Mostly just crostinis drenched in balsamic vinegar with a wedge of Brie cheese. Next we ordered the pesto linguine and chicken kebabs to share. Linguine was pretty stander. The chicken kebabs were RAW - and I mean RAW - not cooked whatsoever in the middle. The waitress comes over and asks if we want them to be cooked longer - we say yes and assume that they’ll send out new chicken and probably discount our bill. Nope. They send back out the same chicken skewers - including the little crumbs we had cut off - and did not discount the bill. It was very odd. and we were totally grossed out. Especially after watching one employee leave the bathroom and immediately pick his nose. Do not recommend. There seemed to be way better options in that general area that sadly did not come up on Google in our search before our trip.
