Blue Salt Restaurant

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

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!

This was my first time to Blue Salt, and it was nice! The food was very flavorful, and I loved the seasoned rice & pickled veggies. I ordered the chicken kebab meal and so did my friend. Both of our chicken seemed a bit undercooked, so we asked for it to be cooked more. It was chicken thigh meat so it was a bit different texture than I am used to but very juicy. My friend enjoyed the sangria which was very fruity and I had a simple vodka cocktail. Nice spot but the dining room definitely got warm the more people that came in to dine.

Wow!! This is a hidden gem! We came from Brighton and this place surprised us. Each of our dishes were so good, and I'm usually wary of fusion places. I looved my Moroccan tagine. The rice with the kebabs were so flavorful. And there was only one option for dessert, but it was really nice and light (Ukrainian medovik cake?). If it weren't so far I would come more often but even so I'm thinking of coming back! It's a nice atmosphere too.
