    Visiting from Texas and enjoyed a delectable lunch with former colleague. The chicken salad roll with fries and coleslaw lunch special was delicious and a perfect sized portion. The Caesar salad with grilled shrimp was light dressed and with Parmesan cheese aplenty was delightful. Our server Jaelin provided friendly service throughout our meal. I would dine here again if in the area.

    I had a reservation confirmed on Open Table but it didn't show on Legal Seafood's system. They corrected the issue. The restaurant was not too crowded on a cold May Monday night (about 45%full) and they seated us promptly. Our waitress was excellent, providing our party of 7 everything we needed quickly. The food was brought out quick, while still hot, and tasted great. The chowder was loaded and tasty. The Lobster roll was large, fish and chips had a large piece of fish covering the entire basket and the other Lobster mac and cheese dishes and steak tips were equally plentiful. "Doggy-bags" were provided for those who didn't finish their meals and 2 of us had room for dessert. The Boston Creme Pie and Key Lime Pie were delicious. Every bite was devoured. A good time was had by all.

    I'm not sure if it was the manager or owner, but he was very attentive and polite. The waitress was friendly and accommodating. We were there celebrating 2 graduations and we were offered some ice cream balls on the house! Great experience!

    Sadly, I do not remember the name of our outstanding waiter last night, but he was a true star. Please determine who waited on our table (Judith Aaron, through OpenTable, 7 PM, 4 guests) and send him our sincere compliments. Two out of four guests loved their dinners; the other two, both of whom had the sole, found it too salty. Otherwise, a perfect evening. We will surely return to Legal, with pleasure!

    The food was great, so was the service. This restaurant has the best sushi - full stop. I wish the sushi menu was more expansive but their offerings are always the best.

    I went to Legal Sea Foods for Mother’s Day and, as always, had a great experience. I dine here often, and what stands out the most is the consistency—the food is always fresh and well-prepared, and the service is reliable and friendly. It’s one of the few places where I know I’ll get a great meal every time. Definitely one of my go-to spots.

    It was Mother's Day, so it was busy and service was slow. But the food was excellent. We ordered two different cod dishes, rainbow trout, and salads. Also, the popcorn shrimp is delicious and has a fun presentation in the popcorn container.
