Contribute FeedbackThe Dolphin restaurant in downtown Natick offers a mixed dining experience, with some customers enjoying delicious meals such as scallops and swordfish, while others were disappointed with the quality of their dishes. Some highlighted Taco Tuesday as a great option, praising the sea bass and baja fish tacos. However, there were complaints about inconsistencies in the food quality and menu changes. Service received mixed reviews, with some praising the attentive staff and others mentioning confusion with reservations. Overall, it seems that the Dolphin may have some room for improvement in terms of food quality and service following the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Living in the Boston area I know that we have the best seafood probably in the world. However the swordfish presented to me at the Dolphin was pitiful. Dry, dry, and no flavor. And almost on the cold side. I will not go back there. It's too bad, they are in a great location in downtown Natick.
Unfortunately, this will be our last time eating in the dolphin, as they close and reinvent themselves. the fried fish plate was plentiful and slightly fried (not greasy) and the seafood and pasta were also delicious. demanded diavlo sauce that added a kick and was very good. the service was great as it was always. I look forward to the next iteration.
Maybe it 's COVID, or maybe it 's the way it is, but the service was definitely sub-standard. Any questions regarding substitutions or special dietary needs we asked were greeted with a rather abrupt NO! as the response, including a complete lack of understanding or support for gluten-free diets. If you 're gluten-free, I would suggest avoiding Dophin. While the restaurant was sparsely attended, the service was slow and decidedly unhelpful. At the end of the meal, we were told to Get out as they needed to clean up so they could go home. Yikes. The food itself was OK , but priced well above the quality and presentation. Overall, a disappointing, expensive meal.
Excellent lunch with my sisters! The service was impeccable and the food perfect, as always). I have never been disappointed at the Dolphin.
Service really defined this experience and it wasn’t poor but it wasn’t great. Only one waiter working the entire dining room so he spent very little at every table and it took tracking him down to have anything provided. Our food had definitely been sitting under the warming lamps for too long and had dried out.
