"Incredible Local Gem – Blue Salt Exceeds Expectations Blue Salt in Newton is hands-down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in the Boston area. From the moment we walked in, everything was top-notch—welcoming service, relaxing ambiance, and beautifully executed food. The seafood is the star here. We started with the grilled octopus (perfectly tender with just the right char) and tuna tartare, both bursting with flavor. For mains, the branzino and squid ink pasta were absolute standouts—fresh, expertly cooked, and plated with care. Even the side vegetables were amazing. Cocktails were creative and well-balanced, and the wine list pairs perfectly with the Mediterranean-influenced menu. We finished with the olive oil cake, which was light, citrusy, and the perfect end to a flawless meal. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about our experience. Prices are very fair for the high quality. Blue Salt feels like fine dining without the fuss. If you’re looking for a memorable seafood-focused restaurant in Newton or greater Boston, this is it. Can’t wait to go back!"

"My wife and I visited this great restaurant on Sunday between 4 and 5 pm. The waitress was with us in no time. First thing we asked her was to make music less loud. She did more: she switched it from a loud pop to a quiet chamber classics. It was a great prelude to a great dinner. We had a mushroom soup and hinkali (none for some reason shown in the online menu). The taste of the dishes served was authentic and amazing. Talking with Dasha, our waitress, was a special pleasure. We finally found a place where we could bring our guests from other states and countries."

"Update: We returned for a second time and it was as fabulous as our first visit. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. Later in the evening we were pleasantly surprised with Russian Karaoke-oh what fun!! The restaurant had a great holiday vibe. People dress up which just adds to the atmosphere. Blue Salt Restaurant is a hidden gem and has quickly become our favorite place to dine. Impeccably fresh ingredients & amazingly delicious. What a wonderful experience. From truly exceptional customer service to perfectly prepared dishes, this restaurant is definitely a great new place to dine. The atmosphere has a great vibe. Sophisticated in a natural simple way. This is a perfect restaurant to enjoy a special occasion or just hang out with friends!"

"We had two events for which we used Blue Salt. For the first one we had a gathering for 25 people at the restaurant. For the second event we used Blue Salt catering services. Both events went very well! The staff was very accommodating and polite. Everything was done in a timely manner, and as promised. The food was excellent and the portions were very generous, so we enjoyed the leftovers for a while! I highly recommend Blue Salt and I will definitely use their services again!"

"Our small wedding at Blue Salt was absolutely perfect! A special thank you to Igor, the owner, for making our day so memorable.
