50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Swampscott

“The Fish & Chips were excellent.“

“Great food accompanied by great service definitely be back!!“

“I had lunch with friends here yesterday and everything was great but I have to mention that our server, Russell, was hands done, one of the best servers I have ever had. He gave us plenty of time to catch up with each other with cocktails (about an hour!), He paid for a round of drinks because we wanted to order from the brunch menu but missed it because we talked for so long. He said it was his fault for not reminding us! Unheard of! He let us have a leisurely 3 hour lunch, with no pressure at all, and was very attentive when we needed him. He even sent over a delicious birthday dessert without even being asked! Russell is The Best!!“

“Great food accompanied by great service definitely be back!!“

“What a great night! We thought we were going to a fundraiser, but after checking the ticket it’s next month🤦🏼‍♀️ So since we were ready for a night out we ventured to Swampscott to check out G Bar! Reservations highly encouraged, but our timing worked out perfectly and we got two seats at the bar! Had a delicious meal starting with crispy shrimp with sriracha, lemon garlic aioli, cilantro then we shared a Caesar salad, lightly dressed and not too garlicky and had Wasabi tuna and NY Strip steak for our entrees! Yummo!! Patrons were so nice, as was all the staff! Andrew was a great bartender and seemed to know everyone there! Great vibe, great food! We’ll definitely be back! — eating dinner with my love with Joe Florentino at G Bar and Kitchen.“

“Swampscott's gem - Big Mac pizza is out of this world!“

“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.“

“We are doing a world cruise on the Coral Princess and went to Yankee Lobster for lunch. It was absolutely delicious, heaps of lobster in the roll and fries too. My hubby had a roast chicken sandwich with fries and a Fresh Lobster Ale as well and he loved it. We had a recommendation from our tour guide and a taxi concierge... so we knew it had to be good when the locals say to go there. I forgot to show our waiter the photo I took of him, so I hope he sees it here.. Thank you 10/10 gor food and service.“

“Food and atmosphere is outstanding. Lobster Mac and Cheese, Clam Chowder, Fish and Chips, Lobster Roll and great desserts!!“

“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!!!“

“Limani Grille was such an amazing dining experience! Mario went above and beyond to make a birthday celebration extra special. Mario helped us to decide which drinks and foods to get based on our likes. He was so much fun!Everything was delicious from the drinks to the entree to the dessert. The Destructed Baklava was one of the best desserts that I’ve ever had. We will definitely be back when we are in Boston again. A 5 star experience for sure!“

“Awesome app's and excellent wine menu. All beef is grass fed. One of the best restaurants that I've been to.“

“500 Ocean is a beautiful property with some amazing amenities. It is in a great location, surrounded by ocean views, restaurants and very accessible to the T, literally right below the building. My husband and I had a great experience living here and had rarely any issues. The main issue we had at move-in was addressed and we were even offered a small gift for the inconvenience. I love the maintenance staff and they are always so pleasant and helpful. One of my favorite parts of living here was having an in-house fitness coach/ personal trainer- Cienna Jade! She is so amazing to work with and has really helped me along my fitness journey. It was so convenient having her come to the 500 Ocean gym, which is one of the best gyms I've seen in an apartment home. She conducts 1 on 1 sessions and will literally work with you on scheduling a time that's convenient for you as well as offering group or couple sessions! Overall, very pleasant experience!“

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

“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. 🤌🏽👌🏽👍🏽“

“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!“

“Kudos to Chris our awesome waiter yesterday. He was very helpful with describing their menu as I have an unusual food allergy. He confirmed with the Chef my concerns and I had a delicious meal. The petite lobster roll was the best ever! Highly recommend this restaurant and hopefully your waiter is Chris.“

“fun, casual atmosphere on the water good food...the lobster bisque was outstanding good service I would have preferred my wine in a glass and not plastic“

“Delicious seafood options and fresh oysters!“

“Easter Brunch was delicious with plenty of variety and quantity. Rine, our server, was very attentive to our table despite it being a busy day. The coffee was very good as well. A beautiful location on the water. This was our first time to Finz; we look forward to returning. Possible improvements: 1) The food could have been a bit hotter (temperature wise); 2) Street parking only was limited.“

“I was in town this past week for a business conference. Another attendee asked the bartender at our hotel where the best seafood was; and she recommended Belle Isle, stating, "Best Lobster Rolls in the city." So we hopped in an Uber and made our way to Belle Isle. Upon arrival we saw that the restaurant was situated right on the water, with an accessible doc, which hosted, what appeared to be, a functional fishing boat and lobster traps.

The hostess encouraged us to sit where ever we would like. After a quick huddle we sat down at the bar and were immediately greeted by Melissa; who was cheerful, and poured a perfectly cold draft beer. She recommended the Lobster Pie as it was her favorite, but our stomachs were set on the Lobster Rolls as per our hotel bartenders glowing review.

We were not disappointed! The lobster roll was almost too much to handle. The bread that hosted the succulent chunks of claw and tail meat was buttered and toasted to perfection; but hardly the texas bookshelf you'd expect it to be upon seeing how much lobster was piled on top.

We met two locals, Henry and Paula, who also recommended the Lobster Pie, as well as the Clam Chowder. And both of us having never had New England Clam Chowder out of anything other than a soup can, jumped at the opportunity to taste the real thing. Another delicious dish! Best Clam Chowder I've ever had, hands down.

I came back for a second visit, risking missing my flight home to try the Lobster Pie. It was worth every little bit of stress I gained watching my Uber take 5 minutes longer to pick me up than the app predicted. (I made my flight)

If you're looking for a family friendly, yet fun and welcoming environment with seafood that will blow your mind. This is the place to go!“

“Absolutely love dining at sea level with Shayna. My daughter (7) went for her third plate of pop corn shrimp... a new record. My tacos were outstanding! I didn't even need the extra crème I usually ask for... simply awesome. See you soon!“

“This is one of my very favorite places to eat. Not only is the food amazing (I love the crab cakes and tune tartare) but the views cannot be beat! The service is always amazing as well. This is a go to spot whenever I have people visiting from out of town. Plus the water taxi to the other restaurants is such a bonus!“

“I was absolutely floored by this restaurant. I deeply regret never having tried it in the past 6 years despite passing by it many times and seeing it packed! We had to wait around 13 minutes after joining the waitlist around 6pm on a Saturday. Ordering is very easy to do through a QR code, and they are very efficient at getting the food out and turning tables around.

We got two mains, one appetizer, and 2 rice for 3 people, and that was plenty (came out to $60 before tip). I liked every single dish including the rice.

The dish that impressed me the most was the fish fillet with pickled vegetables ($25.95). The fish was plentiful and super tender, with great flavor from the broth and pickled vegetables, but there were also glass noodles and 3 different kinds of mushrooms, which I wasn't expecting. This is a 10/10 dish, and I would absolutely get it again.

The house special stir fried tender beef ($20.95) was also very delicious! The beef was tender and flavorful, and we liked the bell peppers and cilantro. It was more of a home style dish than the grand fish fillet, but I'm glad we got to try it.

We also got the black fungus salad ($6.95) which was a delightful way to start the meal. The sauce has soy sauce, black vinegar, sesame oil, and lots of garlic. The rice was also delicious!

Hunan Cuisine wasn't on my radar until today, but now it would probably be my top pick for dinner in Chinatown. I'll definitely be back!“

“Joe's On a Roll's products are fresh and affordable. The storefront is fun. Every visit is a party. Check it out.“

“The lobster roll at Little Whale is easily one of the best in the city. It has heaps of lobster but it’s cut up small so it’s easy to eat. Lobster aside, the French fries here are absolutely amazing. They taste like McDonald’s used to in the 80s. If you come at off hours walk ins are easy but if you are coming at prime time make a reservation.“

“terrific atmosphere, superb and flexible service. we were a party of 7 a s they accommodated us perfectly. Great pizza and full bar.“

“Love the homey atmosphere! You can tell everything is homemade with love patty melt on rye was delicious as was the hash skillet and eggs over hash. The seasonal pumpkin pancake was also great 10/10 would recommend and come again. Street parking only so keep your eyes peeled for a spot.“

“We were reggulars here when we lived in the area“

“We went to dinner and decided 7.00 Lobster Quesadilla for an appetizer, they were very good. We had.Baked Haddock Sauteed zucchini with roasted potatoes. It a classic, our favorite entree. We had New York Cheesecake drizzled with Caramel Sauce. Outstanding Mona was our server, she friendly, helpful and attentive. A charming woman, I hope have her an our server next time we go for dinner.“

“The food is always full of fresh cool flavors, the staff is friendly and the service impeccable. Harbor front location is amazing!“

“Best chowda I had on my trip to Boston!“

“Great food ,great atmosphere ,great service ....I guess everything was great!“

“Nobody comes close. Best Lobstah Mac n cheese in town. I’ve tried others and I keep coming back every time I’m in Boston.“

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

“Fun spot. Great food, drinks, atmosphere, and staff. Highly recommend.“

“By far the best, authentic Italian food in the North End. We have dined at several restaurants but the service, ambience and food is the best! They make their own pasta and sauces daily. I cannot recommend Casarecce enough. Delicioso.“

“not only are they super nice, the Lobster rolls are absolutely delicious. just the right amount of butter, and the scallions really do level it up. DEFINITELY will patronize again“

“When I popped into Mike's for a quick roast beef, I wasn't expecting anything special. I eat a lot of roast beefs and have high standards. I have to say, Mike's impressed me. The beef was massive, perfectly cooked, and the sauce was somehow better than it normally is. I highly recommend everyone who likes roast beef give Mike's a shot.“

“Three Cod is fabulous the food the service are the best I highly recommend for a great meal & fun & Sunday Brunch the best try the Eggs Benedict & a Bloody Mary yummy!!“

“The Chart House is our favorite restaurant in Boston! It is pretty much next door to our hotel. Beautiful building inside with its brick wall and antique hand hewn beams (according to my husband) Wrought iron railings to assist you on the stairs. The food? OMG!!! MY finicky daughter had the best lobster mac n' cheese. My husband had the Caesar salad and the 14 oz prime rib. The rib was perfect! As for my meal, I started with a few oysters from my husband, very fresh. Then I had the best spinach salad. I would have put raw mushrooms instead of cooked on the salad but overall it was heaven with warm bacon dressing. My daughter had the highly recommended chocolate lava cake and would highly recommend it. Danny was our waiter and he did a great job! Chart House will be our first stop for dinner on our next trip to Boston.“

“Absolutely fine dining at fair market prices. The staff was brilliant, the food well prepared, and the atmosphere wonderful. There's not enough praise that I can heap on Atlantic Fish. We had the whole fish that came with sides topped with a fresh Guinness. Everything was expertly prepared. Dessert was through the roof. Great restaurant, attentive staff.“

“Kati was an excellent server. I would come back, the Atun Canario and Gambas are my favorite. Everything was delicious.

Vegetarian options: Very good vegetarian options offered

Dietary restrictions: N/a“

“Last meal before we headed overseas back home. Food was no nonsense, reasonably priced and great quality. The service from Alex was perfect. Can highly recommend for good NE seafood, right on the water.

Parking: We had to drive around a while to get parking and parked a few blocks back, even on a Monday outside of the holidays“
