   We had seated 25 minutes after our confirmed reservations. The staff seemed to be inexperienced as well as overwhelmed

   Hello Jerry, I apologize for not being able to seat you immediately for your reservation. I understand it can be frustrating not to be able to sit right away in your preferred area. We try to honor all requests, and sometimes this leads to delayed seating due to the tables in that area still being full from earlier reservations. I know you are a long time guest of Legals and hope that you will join us again. Sincerely, Amy Murphy GM

   What an incredible and much appreciated turnaround at Legal Seafoods. This was our second visit dining off of the new menu and we were enthusiastically pleased once again, particularly with the selection of fisha and accompnaying sauces and sytles of preparation in a more than we;come throwback to the old, traditional Legals' menu after the several year venture of having gone asgtray and missing the mark since the franchise was sold by Rodger Berkowitz. The quality overall is also is much improved, and we can look forward, once again, to dining much more frequently at Legal's.

   My only complaint was the hostess when I first arrived. She seemed to be bothered by her job. Absolutely no personality or friendliness. Our waitress couldn’t have been nicer and more attentive. Food was excellent.

   My Tuna fish sandwich was not that nice. Was like a Patay. Two of our guests had to return their food because it was undercooked. By the time the received their food, the rest of the table had finished. We did get the fee for two meals waved, which we did not ask for but they gave it to us, so credit to them. I like Legals in general, but the menu might need updating.

    It’s such a larger restaurant that it has become the poster child for bigger isn’t always better. Food is still generally good but it’s not the best experience anymore. Although I do have to say the bar crowd seemed to be having fun so if that’s your jam then go for it!
