Grilled salmon was fresh and delicious- curried veggies, and street corn were also tasty. We liked the thick cod loins as well - and whipped potatoes were perfect. A fellow who brought us the food carefully described what he was bringing us, and gave the right food to the right person who ordered it. Our waitress was attentive and very efficient. We always have a good experience at Legal. We'll be back soon!
