50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Newton

“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 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!“

“The Dooliner has a wonderful neighborhood atmosphere, great food and friendly service. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“Found this place on google, me and my brother stopped by on our way back from Maine to Virginia. Absolutely delicious, the crab cakes were on point. The lobster on the roll was fresh, a little too much bread in lobster to bread ratio, still it was phenomenal. The highlight of the menu though, is the lobster bisque. Best bisque I had in my 9 days in New England and I ate seafood everyday.“

“I saw Jayson Tatum here yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like five orders of crab rangoons in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bags and keyed in quantity x5, he stopped her and told her to enter each line individually “to prevent any math tricks,” and then turned around and winked at me. If he was making a joke, I guess I didn't get it. After she keyed in each individual order of rangoons and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.“

“Hands down, cheapest, highest quality stuff you'll find in the Watertown area, The owner Yoshi is so nice, he literally just handed me an extra piece of fish he was working on one night. Not sure if I came in at the end of the day, or because I spent X amount, but he straight up just gifted me this chunk of Tuna. Amazing owners, I will continue going back as long as I live in Boston.“

“everything we ever ordered has been fabulous. and the service is excellent.“

“⸻ We had such a wonderful Easter brunch experience at the Riverbend! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxing meal. The service was outstanding as well; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a top-notch brunch experience. We'll definitely be back!“

“one of the best meals we've had in a long time. highly recommend.“

“My wife and I have enjoyed the Restaurant scene in Boston privately and professionally for over thirty years. Right now Aqua Pazza is my absolute favorite spot in the city! Aqua Pazza is kicking on my all three important points. Food, service and ambiance. Simply, I love the place!!!“

“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.“

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

“Great food and pet darn fast actually. My wife had the shrimp scampi with linguine and I had the stuffed calamari over black squid ink linguine. 🤌🏽👌🏽👍🏽“

“The design of the dining room is really beautiful. Light with high ceilings very clean lines. Great acoustics. From the moment I entered, the hostesses could not have been nicer. Friendly and inviting. The food was absolutely amazing. Spectacular flavors, beautiful presentation, fresh and filling. My only issue was with my waiter. The support staff were fantastic, but after taking my order, I only saw my waiter once before asking for the bill. It seemed like he was overwhelmed and didn't have time or interest in checking on how I was enjoying my meal. But everyone else was great. Friendly and helpful. You must not miss a dinner at OSTRA. It's a wonderful experience!“

“cool atmosphere, food a dream. my lobster roll with honey/chilly butter delicios.“

“its a pretty good place, I really had a nice time“

“Very tasty food, great service. No reservations, first come first serve. Prices are not super inexpensive but it is worth the cost. We were only grabbing a snack as we had some commitment afterward. Only pitty is that it is difficult to share bites if you are like me and want to try it all. I guess we will have to come back! 😜
My favorite was the shrimp tempura, but the eel was great too.“

“Had my first visit to Bootleg Special last night and it did not disappoint. Every aspect of the meal, from the creative drinks to the delicious appetizers to the fantastic main course was outstanding. Our server, Alex, was attentive and very pleasant. And last, but certainly not least, the beignets after dinner were spectacular. Looking forward to my next visit!“

“Innovative and delicious.“

“Go for a special occasion (anniversary) annually and have a fantastic experience each year. Greeted kindly by hostess, heart shaped confetti on table, anniversary card on table, lovely waiter, and amazing food. Look forward to it every year.“

“my order arrived promptly and well packed. I really LOVE that the fisherman's name is on the package as well as the name of their vessel. There was also a picture of the local fisherman thanking everyone for their business. The fish was packed nicely and I enjoyed the monkfish that I prepared. Nicely done!!!!I will order again!“

“thy are just so good sea food“

“The cajun fries (medium spicy) were amazing. Shrimp and lobster were fresh and tasty too. Do note that they don’t come with any sides so you gotta order your corn on the cob and potatoes as extras (which were also tasty after being marinated in the Cajun sauce).

The staffs were all nice and attentive. It would be better if the soda wasn’t flat. Would also be better if a bucket could be offered at the table for the shells, so that the sauce doesn’t float everywhere.“

“You won’t find a more delicious lobster roll anywhere!!!“

“Delicious seafood options and fresh oysters!“

“You're my favorite restaurant,am always running back to you. I have introduced all my friends to that cowboy steak(extremely well done) my favorite. You always make me feel special on all my birthdays 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 Thank you 😊 🙏 😘“

“Had a great experience at The Banks Seafood and Steak in Boston! I stopped in for drinks at the bar and was truly impressed. Katie, the bartender, made one of the best lychee cocktails I’ve had — perfectly balanced and so refreshing. I also want to acknowledge Gary, the director of operations, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. It’s rare to find that level of hospitality. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxed, upscale vibe with top-notch service.“

“Ordered the Xiangs Sweet Spicy Crispy Chicken W Peanuts and Chicken Fried Rice. Both were wonderful and some of the best Chinese takeout I’ve ever had. Tons of flavor, the chicken fried rice had a distinct grilled taste which was different but really good“

“Great experience, our waiter Brian gave us Great service and recommendations. The food was AMAZING! Steak melts in your mouth!“

“Dryft is my favorite new spot in Wellesley! It’a perfect for a date night spot, dinner with family, or drinks with friends. I love that the menu is seasonal and the octopus is to die for!! It’s always such a fun vibe. Try it out and thank me later ?“

“Great seafood tower - creative crab abd dressed lobster. Crab pasta excellent. Best were the Isanbd Creek oysters and the discount with a purchased beverage - no brainer! We downed 18. A bit dark in the downstairs - wanted to sit upstairs but it was not open. But solid service and nice atmosphere - the star was definitely the fresh seafood. A bit pricey, but again - oysters on discount worth it!“

“Dear Turner Seafood Team, We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the exceptional service provided by your team.

“Visited ****** with a friend who has been going there for years. She grabbed the frozen shrimp and lobster. I grabbed the scallops wrapped in bacon and a few bags of the beautiful stuffed clams. It is fast-paced there so you've gotta be ready to move out of the way of employees with the boxes on dollies. But the guy who checked us out was sweet and hilarious and so accommodating. Will definitely go back there very soon. “
