I've gone multiple times and always sit in the bar. Drinks are good and stiff. Shrimp and clams casino are great. There's a waiter we a while back that was pretty unpleasant and rude, but other than that, experiences have been really wonderful.

This is the place where we usually meet with our relatives from Wayland and Ashland for lunch. The place is quiet, at the lunch time full of whispering senior citizens and the food is fresh, good and not too expensive. I like their twin lobsters and lobster bisque, while my wife prefers a half a dozen oysters as an appetizer... More

I came here with some business friends and found it adequate. One of the guys had never had steamed lobster so I decided to show him the ropes. He did a great job but I have to say the lobsters were a little over cooked. The service was good, but not overwhelming.

We have visited The Dolphin Restaurant many times. We had luncheon yesterday, Feb. 22nd, and it was a very bad experience. My Husband ordered The Lazy Man's Lobster for $17.95. What a mistake! Hardly any lobster on the plate and it was as tough as shoe leather. I ordered Calamari and it was tough. I could not finish and that... More

The prices on the menu have just gone up so it is on the expensive side but the fish is pretty good, not huge servings. The wait staff is very good. It is VERY confusing on where you go for the host/hostess, we stood there for a bit before anyone came over, there is no host/hostess desk so you just... More

Lobster dinner was excellant. They served hard shelled lobsters that were loaded with meat; not the soft shelled which are filled with water. This is a hidden gem in downtown Natick.

Lots of delicious items cooked to perfection. Service was great. And the manager, Illya, made our evening with his friendly and attentive concern that everything was just right. I would eat here again if in the area.

Still love the Dolphin but not like I did before they made all their changes & remodeled. Food's still good, but if go for lunch, be sure you have extra time on your hands as they are notoriously slow.
