50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Wellesley

“I would like to thank Captain Marden for sharing their delicious food at the Winthrop Farmers Market! The wonderful food selections and the amazing staff member who was always there with a smile! Much appreciated! See you next year!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Just went to the soft opening thanks to Professor Ed's story post on Instagram.
The uni butter sauce was a little too salty for me, but the rest of the flavors with the umami briny uni flavor were luxuriously blended and balanced. I absolutely loved the Moonlight Kiss cocktail—Tasted like the Chinese chrysanthemum tea juiceboxes (iykyk), cold, refreshing, and strong. I didn't finish because I forgot to ask for light liquor even though I'm a lightweight.
Tuna tacos were delightful—would've loved one or two more for $16 appetizer. Clam chowder was definitely good by born&raised New Englander standards. Clams were sweet and tender, never rubbery.
Yuzu tart curd was a bit sour and not set in the crust, but I would've rather less lemom juice than more sugar added. Brown butter pecan ice cream was divine. :)
Service was lovely and attentive. We had Samat, iirc, and he was one guy doing hosting and waiting.
It's a bit pricey, but the care for quality is visible.“

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

“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.“

“Food was outstanding!! Our hospitality specialist, Denise Shannon, was an absolute delight. She was so helpful and generous with our servings. She has a fantastic personality and a kind and generous heart. We can't say enough about Denise, the exceptional service and the amazing meal. Thank you for making our last evening in Massachusetts special!“

“My partner and I went here for the first time tonight. Our server, Courtney, was absolutely amazing. If you go there ask for her. The food was excellent, the service she provided was out of this world, made us both feel special and exceptionally well taken care of. The manager was so sweet as well. 100/10. Can’t wait to go back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Went to Season’s 52 for the very first time on Friday. The atmosphere was great and the food was out of this world. The flatbread with garlic sauce, corn and bacon was phenomenal, my caramelized scallops were tender and delicious. Not a single person in our party was disappointed - the lobster bisque was delicious, very rich and flavorful! Can’t say enough Matt the chef is so talented and William the server was amazing. A++++“

“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!“

“Had a great bday and anniversary experience last night. Waiter was top notch and super nice. After the waiter found out it was the special day for us ,he did something super nice. He felt bad that we didn't tell him till the end but we was just chilling and didn't want happy birthdays and stuff. Would eat here again. Also lobster Mac and cheese and that bone in ribeye is to die for“

“Un ambiente elegante y muy relajado, con un menú delicioso, lo mejor de la noche para mi fue el plato de Salmón, estaba espectacular, la atención excelente, la amabilidad de la persona que nos atendió increíble, en español y portugués, nos sentimos a gusto de verdad, volveremos muy pronto👌“

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

“we come to Lexington every year for a muster and we eat here every time.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Always a surprise when we go there, every dish is like an art piece. The only thing I would improve is the service.“

“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! 👍“

“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.“

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

“I have been to Hanami several times, and the food has consistently been good. They offer a great selection, and the prices are what they are. The service could be a little warmer and more welcoming and attentive, but overall, it is a solid local restaurant that I would visit again.“

“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❤️“

“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!“

“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 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.“
