50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Winchester

“I really love the family friendly environment. I usually take the kids on Fridays and always feel welcome. My kids love the food! Especially the chicken tenders and pasta on the kids menu! So it makes take out for a busy sports mom easy! The restaurant is spacious and I can’t wait to see it with the new expansion in the works! It will be fun to grab a drink at the bigger bar that is going in!“

“Outstanding oyster bar! The raw bar food was delicious, but the Mains and Starters were truly impressive. The most popular items at the table were the Bouillabaisse and the Clams in Chorizo broth. The atmosphere was beautiful and the drinks excellent. Pretty price place though, no glasses of wine under $14, no bottles under $70“

“ Love this restaurant! The food is excellent and the service is phenomenal. We discovered this restaurant on our last visit to Boston and had to go back this time. It's expensive, but well worth it. Must try the warm chocolate chip cookies for dessert. They're exceptional! “

“From start to finish - excellence! Food was divine, porterhouse cooked to perfection! Dessert platter was the perfect topping to a perfect meal. Diego was very attentive to our NU graduates! Thank you Capital Grille for a spectacular celebration dinner!“

“From start to end our meal at mooncusser was incredibly memorable. The service was warm and gracious without being over the top. Each course was delicious with perfect timing between courses. Everything was so memorable and delicious from the Cobia ceviche the garlic Parmesan donut and squid to my lamb consume grass fed beef mango sorbet and rhubarb and hibiscus crisp. We all left saying what a special meal it was. Thank you Mooncusser!“

“Picked this gem for our first dinner on a weekend trip to Boston, and it set the bar super high! Absolutely delicious food--super clean and fresh shellfish and fish from the appetizers and soup to our main entrees. A special thank you to our great server Kristen, who made my day with a sweet dessert on the house! Truly a wonderful meal at a wonderful establishment!“

“As always our meal at Dovetail was spot on. I had the snapper and my wife the scallops. Bother dishes were thoughtfully prepared, attractive and very tasty. We've been fans for years and have never been disappointed in our meals at Dovetail or their sister restaurant, Brewers Fork.“

“Very cool vibe/ decorations. Food was above average, but expensive! $50 for a lobster roll and potato chips, that was good, but half the size of my $35 lobster roll (that tasted just as good- and came with fries) at Yankee Lobster Co down the street a day prior.“

“We were very impressed with our server Christina. She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and well cared for. Her level of attentiveness and service was exceptional. Also, the manager (David) stopped by our table several times. The fact that he took the time to do so sets this restaurant apart from others. Oh, and the food was delicious! Our overall experience was wonderful and we can't wait to go back.“

“This was a really good restaurant. Very authentic Italian cuisine. Food was all amazing. Jeff, our waiter was the nicest most cordial man I've ever met has a very sociable personality. He gave us good recommendations on what to order and was very accommodating. You could close your eyes and point to any random dish on this menu and you will NEVER be disappointed. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone.“

“Enjoyed being with my sister for lunch but wasn't too impressed with this place. A meatless taco salad. Also the server seemed annoyed when we asked for something. Food was mediocre at best. My first restaurant experience in Boston was disappointing.“

“Hidden in the residential area is the best lobster roll I have ever eaten! The weather was nice last weekend, so this lobster lover finally came to check out the lobster roll at this seafood shop. Lobster sandwich: It is obviously just ordinary bread, but it is fried until fragrant and then filled with thick fresh lobster meat. It only needs simple seasoning - a little mayonnaise, salt, black pepper and green onions to highlight the freshness and sweetness of the lobster. The bread is fried in butter but not greasy, and the cold lobster meat tastes fresh and chewy, not fishy at all, and basically uses the meat from the lobster body, unlike the lobsterroll in many restaurants that is cooked with tongs. It tasted so delicious, so I asked specifically, thinking that some magical sauce was added to the seasoning, but I didn't expect it to be that simple. wonderful! (The price is slightly more expensive now, $35 each.)After finishing one, I bought a second one and continued eating it in the evening.From now on, I will eat here probably once a week, it is very good! !I went and bought two more yesterday^ ^ Delicious!“

“Came for the seafood but stayed for the cocktails and chill vibes. We sat at bar so did not get a chance to get familiar with menu or hear about dishes. The oysters were great! Did not like raw clams (too fishy for my taste). Cocktails were suburb. They had a lobster and waffle dish which was so unique and good! Lobster was a bit overcooked but the flavor they had def made up for probably a rare mistake (the lobster in lobster roll was not overcooked and melted in mouth). Brussel sprouts were also phenom and could be a meal in itself.“

“The oysters are amazing!! Came in with my dad, and had one of the best meals ever! We ordered A Tale of Two Oysters, and is the way to go. This way we both could try all 8 of the day’s oysters. Hailey was our server, and was absolutely amazing. She brought over paper menus to make it easier, as my father didn’t have his phone with him. She was attentive, engaging, and just a joy to be around. She treated each able as if they were her only table, and was great at explaining and offering suggestions. We will definitely be back!!“

“It was our first time to Ocean Prime. The service was outstanding! We sat in a quieter section of the restaurant, which was good because the main dining area near the bar was very noisy! My 10 oz filet mignon was cooked perfectly. My partner had the halibut with crab- he said it was delicious! We didn't have dessert- I wish we had room for it, but we were too full! We will return!“

“Delicious Peruvian food with expensive Boston prices. Quality over quantity, the portions feel a bit small but everything was very good.Parking is a bit tricky. There's limited street parking and I believe you are allowed to park in the lot by the grocery store. There's no sign saying otherwise. My friend parked there for the hour and a half we were there on a Saturday night and his car was still there.Edit from their website about parking: "There is plenty of street parking on BOTH sides of our street (Adams Street). This includes the area directly in front of the restaurant and across the street on the side of Russo’s Tux. There is additional parking on Garfield Street, just around the corner, as well as Wesley Street which is behind our building. The parking lot next to our building is NOT ours and vehicles will be towed. Please help us respect our neighbors! Please feel free to call the restaurant with any questions."Parking: Street parking, and maybe the lot at the end by the grocery store. Don't park in the one next to the restaurant, that's residential only“

“For out-of-towners, this is a great lottle place to drop in for a wonderful lobster roll. Fast service, with small but convenient seating indoors and out. Families were there on a Friday evening and relatively quiet (even w the NFL draft on the tube).Quick to get a draft beer and the roll, sitting at the 'bar' listening to the staff talking about the goings on of a restaurant and commercial supplier.“

“The food here is absolutely amazing and definitely worth the wait. Expect a wait time of 30 minutes to an hour due to its popularity, but it's well worth it. It's a pretty small place but can seat a lot. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Personally, I tried the Swing Pork Belly, Yo-In-Style Ramen Noodles, Beef and Enoki Cabbage Soup, and Black Fish Fillet with Szechuan Pickles. The Swing Pork Belly with its incredible garlic sauce and the Beef and Enoki Cabbage Soup with the perfect amount of spice and meat were standouts. If I could dine at Mountain House for every meal, I definitely would.“

“Octopus was fabulous, calamari... not so much. Scallops a La Plancha were delicious, Bolognese - just meh. Server left empty glasses on the table a bit longer than I would have liked and our table was directly inside the door from the bar so it was pretty loud. All in all it was good / fine / what I would expect in Boston at that price point - but not a standout.“

“Lunch with friends was good. Waitress was great. Food was good, 3 friends got the salmon salad which was good tho salad dressing was a bit too sweet. I got "pairing of soup and flatbread which was tasty and just the right size. Convenient Burlington location to meet up.“

“The best dumplings I’ve ever had. My friend and I ordered seafood dumplings and we enjoyed it. We also had pork soup dumplings which was quite decent too. I recommend trying Dumpling House for the best food options if you’re in Cambridge area.“

“Left another place to come here because the customer service was bad. What a 180. Citizen staff was friendly, great w/suggestions and helped secure me a seat at their busy bar. Had two great cocktails and a delicious pepper seared filet. Well done Citizen Pub!! I will be back!“

“We requested a booth and got one. It was our anniversary, so they gave us champagne and a beautiful dessert to share. Our steaks were outstanding! We ordered the au gratin potatoes and creamed spinach......both so delicious! We had a wonderful waitress named Jessica who was very attentive to our needs, yet gave us plenty of time to sit and relax before bringing out our meal. Excellent all around!!!“

“We got the salmon cups, which was very hearty and yummy! We also got the Botan Ebi Ikura and the Miso Butter Cod and another handroll which I forgot but all were so fresh and delicious in their own ways. We did have to wait 20 minutes to be seated since it is a small space, but it was totally worth it!“

“They only open Thursday, Friday and Saturday, so make sure you check their hours before going. There are tables for dine in, but it looks like ppl are ordering for to go more. I love the atmosphere here, feel like I m buying poke from Hawaii. Everyone there is so friendly, and willing to answer if you have any questions. I ordered the mixed plates but you can order poke/ pound separately. I was impressed with the quality of the raw tuna and salmon, very sweet and refreshing.It is indeed a little bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. They also have shot cake, perfect dessert options if you want to try their sponge cake. They have street parking and free stickers at the counters“

“My Fiancé and I LOVE this restaurant. We have come here twice for special occasions now, and the staff and service is exceptional. Our waiter Tony was attentive and wonderful, and our food was absolutely amazing. You really get your moneys worth and more at Black and Blue. Can't recommend enough! Thank you for a wonderful anniversary celebration!“

“I had a very nice experience with frank, he has serious skills for bartending, never been more satisfied with the service and the drinks, the best experience, I highly recommend to go there and have a nice experience with frank, You won't regret It.“

“Eventide Fenway absolutely had the most amazing food I’ve ever tasted. Carefully crafted seafood cuisine, raw bar and great cocktails. I hear that there is a mothership location in Maine. I’ll try that too one day. PERFECTION! Great staff too“

“We had an absolutely phenomenal dinner here this evening. Our waiter, Robin, was amazing. Highlights for me were the Beef Tataki, the tahini cauliflower, the dandan noodles, and the fried chicken. Great fusion food, great vibe, great views.“

“Absolutely fantastic! Some of the best, and prettiest food in Boston! Authentic and creative, with passion in every detail. Amazing cocktails and wine list. Friendly, professional staff that make you feel at home at every meal! Our highest recommendation! Cheers!“

“I had the large lobster roll and a small clam chowdah ! it was great ! It was small inside but I found a seat . On a nice day they have a large outdoor seating area . my lobster roll was great and so was my soup. The service was fast . I will go again when I am back in “

“This was an amazing Omasake experience in Lexington. Chef Mike prepares all of the sushi fresh in front of you. He is committed to pushing himself to create unique and different flavors. Definitely the best omakese we've had in the Boston area. Could not recommend more if you want great food with a relaxed, cozy atmosphere.“

“What an incredible dining experience! Talulla will leave your palette wanting more after experiencing sensational flavors, food composition, restaurant milieu, and the visual beauty of each dish, that is at the heart of Talullas chef and team. The wine list is carefully and creatively curated and from the moment you walk in, this small inviting quaint beautiful space will make you feel like you’re experiencing something different.The house made bread was delicious with a delightful crunch on the crust. We loved the scallop appetizer, ravioli, and beet salad. Everything on the menu looked and sounded amazing and it’s no wonder this restaurants chef is in the running for a James Beard Award and recognition. If you’re lucky enough to get a reservation, definitely check out this place - the food is out of this world!“

“Great place, friendly staff, love when outdoor seating is open & great food. I miss that they no longer do gluten free french fries but they have other great gluten free options. It's nice when a lot of the same staff is there for a while.“

“Delicious. I used to think the lobster roll back home in Milwaukee at the Milwaukee Public Market was good but not any more. If the lobster roll here is a standard, then any lobster roll I've had anywhere outside of Boston is just not at all right. Their crab roll was even better, but the name of the place is Luke's Lobster. The clam chowder is excellent, service is friendly and prompt. Prices are a tad high so be mentally prepared for it, and the only diet drink they have besides water is Diet Coke. The lobster bisque looked and smelled so good I was tempted to steal it from the woman near me but I thought that might start an incident. Still, I thought about it more than a little. An easy walk from the Omni, it's as much a MUST VISIT as any of the nearby historic sites.“

“We had an outstanding experience. Food and service were amazing. For example I always thought shrimp cocktail was shrimp cocktail but somehow these shrimp were fresher and tastier. The oysters were ridiculously good and my lobster roll was perfect. This will be my go to place for seafood in back bay.“

“Ate here again, 7 years later. What an Excellent dinner. Not cheap by any means, but service was top notch and the food/wine/cocktails were all delicious. I would not be surprised if this place is handed a Michelin star in the future. Go here for a special occasion - you will not be disappointed.“

“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!!!“

“When you don't go the restaurant often, every 6 months or so, and see the same wonderful service people such as Aemon at the bar and Isiah for dining and they remember you, you know that you have a great team. Once again the branzino was cooked to perfection as was the filet medallions and shrimp special. Many thanks to all of the staff at Eddie V's - Boston for another friendly, professional dining experience.“

“The service was excellent! The custom menu to commemorate my daughter's birthday was such a nice touch. The entrees were phenomenal! Everyone loved their food. calamari, shrimp cocktail, several filets some with lobster tails, some with crab meat, some sliced filets, lobster mac and cheese, chicken, and salad with chicken. The cheesecake was delicious as well.“

“This is a cash only restaurant. There's only around 20 seats but we were able to walk in on a Sunday around lunchtime.They'll serve you bread as soon as you sit down. The house salad is super fresh and the veggies are crispy. Greater starter if you're wanting some greens. The black pasta and linguines are also good choices to order. They are served in the same pan used to cook the dish! The seafood platter was decent but not worth the price in my opinion. I'll probably just stick to the noodle/pasta dishes going forward.“

“Awesome spot to grab food if you are in the Burlington area. Just a short drive from the mall you'll find a small business slinging some excellent North Shore Beefs. I stopped for a quick lunch and had a Jr 3 way. The bun was griddled to perfection and was unbelievably hot. The beef inside was perfectly pink and warm. The sauce was drizzled over the entirety of the sandwich, aside from the top bun, which is perfect. Easily worth stopping at. Quick and friendly service is just an added benefit. A+“

“We were a party of 11 for a graduation dinner and tried everything from oysters and clams through halibut to paella. Service was personable and non-invasive, the ambiance was great, the food and presentation were excellent and the price was reasonable (for a Boston seafood restaurant). Very happy about our choice!“

“My boyfriend and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary today and had a great dinner!! He got the lamb tenderloin, and I got filet mignon. Both tasted amazing! Also, we got the smores and cookies/cream desserts, which were very good! Definitely will be coming back ?“

“With attentive service and a warm atmosphere, it's the perfect spot for a romantic date night or gathering with friends. Don't miss the chance to indulge in the culinary delights of Bar Volpe – it's a true gem waiting to be discovered.“

“Loved this place, they whole place was a vibe and the food is delicious. Loved the pisco sour and the chicha morada. So fun watching the chefs while sitting up at the bar. Really enjoyed the scallops con pasta a la huancaina. The sauce was truly plate licking worthy. The scallops were nice and big.“

“Visited this place on a sunday and was not disappointed! It runs like a well oiled machine. We got hot lobster rolls and the chowder. It was wonderful. The owner came out and made sure our sandwiches were on point, replacing one (fried fish) that was a little bit overcooked. He came back multiple times to make sure we all loved our food. This is a guy that really cares about his place. Definitely go here if you are visiting. Five stars definitely“

“This Sichuan restaurant is my happy hometown. I regret not discovering this restaurant earlier. The lamb and scorpion stew is very full of ingredients, including corn?carrots?, and the lamb and scorpion are stewed very well. After drinking it, your whole body feels warm and nourishing. There is also Lao Ma’s Hoof Flower Soup, every bite is delicious and sweet.“
