50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Winthrop

“I went there for a late lunch today. The stuffed clam dinner came with a large portion of fries, a tasting of coleslaw, cocktail sauce and a roll. To be honest, 1 stuffed clam and a few fries was MORE than filling! I took the rest home for dinner - it was delicious! It was relatively quiet when I was there, and it was hard to find waitstaff when I needed something she forgot (they were all congregated by the “seat yourself / cash only” sign). I would definitely go again and get the side order of stuffed clams next time.“

“I am so glad that I booked this hotel! It was excellent! Close to the ocean and beautiful!! After spending the afternoon downtown Boston, it was so nice to have a restaurant downstairs! The food was superb!!! The room was clean and big! I am so glad that I booked this hotel again for my return from our cruise. Would definitely stay here anytime I come back to Boston!!!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Innovative and delicious.“

“Excellent food and delicious lobster 🦞“

“The food was excellent, the service friendly. What I couldn't get past was the table for two we were seated at. The tables behind the bar , to the left as you enter the restaurant are up against marble, the floor is wood and there is a slight draft from the front door. The overall impression is that the tables there were an afterthought. Everything is black and white and it lacks any warmth or ambience. I would go back again and try the other section if there are two tops over there - it looked more convivial and a bit cozier. The area we were in felt like a nice place to have a coffee, but not really up to snuff for a nice dinner out .“

“The food was spectacular. From the appetizers to the main dishes. The only reason I would not give it 5 stars as the service was not great. The server was good but not attentive as the place became busy. The check was dropped and I needed to remind that we had wine left in our bottle.“

“Bartender James was the best! Thanks for the recommendation!!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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. 🤌🏽👌🏽👍🏽“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 a business dinner at Little Whale and it was excellent from start to finish. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance—upscale yet relaxed, making it ideal for conversation. We ordered the clams & linguine, classic fish and chips, clam chowder, and steak frites—each dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The seafood tasted fresh and perfectly seasoned, and the steak was cooked just right. Service was attentive and professional without feeling rushed, adding to the overall great experience. Highly recommend Little Whale for both business and social meals—wonderful food, warm hospitality, and a welcoming New England charm.“

“This place was absolutely phenomenal! First of all, the view is spectacular. We came on a beautiful day in fall and the temperature was amazing outside. I had my first ever clam chowder and lobster roll here and they were both so amazing. I got the warm lobster roll and it was so filling. I am from Louisiana so I am no stranger to oysters but the east coast oysters here were so delicious and different from southern oysters. I ordered half a dozen and ended up ordering a half dozen more. I could have honestly ordered more if I wasn’t so full. The service here was also amazing. Our waitress was kind and attentive and offered us the best recommendations as it was our first day and restaurant we ate at in Salem. If you are in the Salem area, this place is an absolute must!!“

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

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

“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.“

“First of all, the cutest place! The food was excellent, we went on a week night so it wasn't busy and we got a selection of east coast oysters served with a mignonette. Love a place that knows their food, it was cool to be able to have oysters from different locations because a lot of places only have one selection and don't distinguish where they come from. Drinks were fantastic! Had a wonderful espresso martini. Also got the chicken sandwich which was SO good, crispy chicken, great fries, the sauce on it was delicious. I would repeat this place every week if I could!“

“we had a wonderful experience all around on a busy Sunday. The manager, Russ, greeted us with a warm smile, setting the tone for a great evening. we sat outside and Jorge F, took great care of us. He was prompt but we never felt rushed. the food was excellent, the Lobster cones are a great new item. we also had the classic mussels. The grilled salmon was delicious. Russ was leading his team through a busy shift but was able to make time to ensure everything was just right. The best in the Seaport.“

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

“This is the first time that I've been back to Finz since the relocation. I was not a fan of the new location, setup or style. I missed the "fine dining" atmosphere. The service was not the best. The overall impression was disappointed. I don't think we'll be back. Maybe in the summer it will be different with the outside sitting. Hopefully.“

“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“

“My first time dining in at OTH with my family and parents and it was a wonderful experience. The wait staff was extremely friendly and very accommodating and the food was absolutely out of this world. Everything we had was delicious and all of us were still talking about it well after we left. Looking forward to going back again. Keep up the good work.“

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

“This evening my husband and I went to Capital Grill Boston location and had Noel as our server. Everything was amazing! The food, the service AND ... they celebrated a birthday I had a month and half ago. I am truly humbled by how personalized this service is. This restaurant is top tier! Cheers to management who know how to run a restaurant, the waiters and waitresses who are exceptional and to the chefs who always serve an absolutely incredible meal! Thank you“

“The Fish & Chips were excellent.“

“Great service and yummy food!“

“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“

“Perched with killer views, this spot dishes out some seriously tasty grub. The clam chowder was a creamy dream, and the fish and chips? Crispy perfection. Portions are massive—come hungry! The kids’ menu is a beast, packed with options for picky eaters.
But, it’s not all smooth sailing. Dropped my rating from 5 to 4 stars because they tried to sneak in charges for kids’ menu sides that are supposed to be included. They claimed they’d fix it, but one charge still slipped through. Also, my beer arrived with some mystery substance smeared on the rim of the glass—yuck. They swapped it out quick, but still. Solid spot, just check your bill and your glass!“

“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.“

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

“delicious clam plates and fast service, nice people and yes their roast beef is out of this world!!“

“This place always passes the vibe check and I always feel welcome. The food is well prepared and the presentation is always clean.“

“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.“
