50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Wellesley

“Another nice dining experience at Dryft. This was our 4th or 5th time for dinner. We had burgers and salmon and swordfish. Everything was cooked as requested. Also spilt a Caesar salad and watermelon salad. Service was very good. Very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The noise level was a little loud but not that bad. Never disappointed at Dryft.“

“Amazing.“

“My husband and I had a wonderful date night here! Our server, Katarina, was an absolute delight! Easy to talk to, honest, and extremely attentive to our needs. She even helped me with making sure a new drink I was trying was perfect. I would 100% come back for her service alone, never mind the rest of the experience.

The atmosphere was simple and elegant. Warm and inviting, and quiet enough for an easy conversation (We arrived around 5PM on a Sunday). I had the filet with king crab legs - delicious and cooked perfectly! The steak was melt in your mouth good and the crab was fresh and meaty. The cauliflower au gratin was also amazing, highly recommend if you have not tried it. My husband had one of their specials - a dry-aged cowboy ribeye. It had the most beautiful crust I have ever seen. Also cooked perfectly. Surprisingly, we also got the truffle french fries and they were irresistibly delightful! We ended the night with the banana trifle and the peanut butter budino. Both were delicious, but next time we may just share the budino due to the very generous size (our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs).

The delicious food aside, the service is what would bring me back here again. Katarina was the perfect server, as was everyone else that attended to our table. 10/10, would dine again!“

“Outstanding Wagyu rib eye!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing experience. Our waiter George is simply amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and satisfied the whole night. We truly appreciate the hard work that was put in. The food was great and we can't wait to be back again soon!“

“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 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!“

“Fantastic setting, great food and the best server (Ed) I have ever encountered - he was extremely knowledgeable about the menu offerings and ingredients all the while being friendly and personable. Overall rating 10 for restaurant and 10+ for Ed.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Vico Ristorante Italiano offers an authentic Italian experience on the South Shore, with "amazing food". The service was great, with a large wine selection. I recommend the Rigatoni Bolognese.“

“It was very good. Jose and Sierra were amazing. Very well received, checked to make sure our food and drinks were good. My filet mignon and lobster tail was cooked very well, the truffle risotto was one of the best I had. For the dessert, I loved how they showed me the options and how it comes, loved the peanut butter dessert. Will definitely be going back“

“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!“

“Went here for my birthday. Wasn't cheap, but I got what I paid for. They did have a price fixe menu available for $60, but I went a la carte. Steak was seasoned and cooked to perfection, and the seafood (my meal featured shrimp, crab, and lobster) was all delicious as well. 10/10 would recommend strongly.

We didn't really need the reservations that we'd made, as the place was pretty quiet on a Thursday night. I can't speak for the weekends, though.“

“Excellent vibe, great food selection and cold Guinness 👍🏼👍🏼“

“This place is both so comfortable and so classy at the same time! Service is wonderful, the staff members are so very friendly, and the food is delicious! Ava and Kathy made the evening so enjoyable! This is definitely a place for us to visit again!“

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

“We love this restaurant! The hostess, Barbara, is excellent; personable and professional. She makes every effort to accommodate our requests. In addition our waiter, Fong, was exceptional. He too was personable and professional. Food was great as usual.“

“The best sushi!! Great quality super tasty 10/10 friendly staff I recommend!!!!!“

“On October 2nd, we hosted a Rehearsal Dinner for 35 that opened up to a Welcome Party for 90. The transition in their beautiful event space was seamless, thanks to Joanna and her wonderful staff. Leading up to the events, Joanna answered any question I threw at her. It was especially comforting since I was organizing from Florida. The food at the rehearsal dinner was delicious, chicken parm, salmon, gnocchi. The service, both food and drink was exceptional. We did a prix fixe menu and Joanna created a specific menu for our event. It felt very special. For the welcome party with an open bar, we chose a charcuterie board, fruit platter, meatballs and arancini all served buffet style. High top tables were added to accommodate the additional guests. Again, Joanna and her staff paid attention to every detail. As the hostess, besides wanting great food and service for my guests, it was extremely important that I got to enjoy my son’s wedding festivities. I had the best time not having to worry about a thing. I can’t thank Joanna and her staff enough for making it all happen.“

“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?“

“Been there a few times already. Food is really fresh and really tasty. Portions are generous. Service was quick and efficient. Perfect place to go when you need a quick meal that doesn’t taste like fast food.“

“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!“

“My favorite restaurant, there isn’t anything to complain about. Every meals is delicious and filling. The staff is friendly and can’t do enough for you. I highly recommend this restaurant!!“

“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%“

“It's been a while since we tried Legal Sea Foods - Chestnut Hill, one of our neighbors. We love the high ceiling with glass walls. It feels like being on the beach. Rainbow trout and lobster tail were fresh as always and onion strings were crispy. The best part was a tall glass of 23oz draft beer!“

“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.“

“Ive been coming here for years & I promise the food is so good 10/10 for sure! Everything is always hot and fresh. The staff is top tier❤️“

“Very family Friendly as well has a Very Nice Bar-Everything i have had is Superb-Large portion-The bingo on Tuesday is alot of Fun!!“

“Went on a Monday night. Looked pretty busy but once the order was taken, food came out very quickly. Service didn’t get 5 stars because there was only one active order-taker. Would return to experience another night’s vibe. Lots of potential. Shocked they didn’t offer avocado salad.“

“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.“

“wonderful customer care, friendly and attentive. casual place,old fashion look, love it! the food was delicious.“

“Very nice atmosphere, food was very fresh tasting, definitely would go back.“

“Good is great. Service is great. Entertainment was a lot of fun! Highly recommend!!!“

“We had our rehearsal dinner at The Chateau in Waltham, MA, and they were absolutely wonderful. When our rehearsal ran faster than expected, they were incredibly accommodating and were able to seat our group early. Highly recommend it if you are looking to hold a private event or rehearsal dinner. The Tuscany room was perfect for our group of 20!“

“Open til 1am. sushi is decent. i got the red sox maki and the unagi with rice. got free edamame with my purchase. it's a very small place, so take out is better. i got a spot on the street right in front so parking wasn't an issue. it was 9 pm.“

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

“We really love this place and the food but have had several times when delivery or pickup times were very slow. We have been waiting 90 minutes for food tonight.“

“I hadn't been to Sweet Basil in a while and my friend and I decided to give it a go. I had forgotten how beautiful the decor and ambiance was. We sat at the bar and were warmly greeted by the host as well as Caroline, our bartender. She made us two perfect martini's to the rim, and brought us out a complimentary dish from the chef which was fantastic (I think it was fried chickpea flour in the shape of a very think fry. They also brought us out complimentary bread and focaccia as well as home made pesto. We ordered the meatballs (the best I've ever had, and my wife is Sicilian). We then shared the Chicken Parm which had the most amazing chunky sauce packed with flavor along with homemade rigatoni! This by far was one of the best meals I've had in a while! Sweet Basil will now go in our rotation of weekly restaurants to visit.“

“Can’t wait to go back again.“

“We love this classic breakfast joint. Hasn’t changed in many years and wouldn’t want it to.“

“Best Chinese food around and the best customer service! Always so friendly and the foods always fresh! I highly recommend“
