    Food was delicious, serving sizes were generous and the atmosphere was perfect. Would definitely come back again. Lobster roll was enough for sharing and kids menu was more than enough for a 6yo and 10yo. Great beverage menu as well.

    The brand has had some growing pains after the take over; they have had mixed quality and mixed choices on the menu. Currently the revamped choices seem much better and the restaurant is on a better trajectory

    Our server, Rick G, was SO great! He went above and beyond for our party and made our first time there a great experience. Even though I am a vegetarian, he provided me with options other than just a small side and just made everything amazing. Not to mention that amazing food! Can’t wait to come back soon!

    Legals is a safe go-to for us because they can accommodate our need for gluten-free alternatives. They rarely disappoint, but it’s not a wow experience usually. Service was particularly good this night and the food was fresh and delicious. I love that they let you know when the seafood is local (and sometimes when it’s not) as I try to purchase local seafood when I can. I also particularly like the location of this Legals as it’s right across from the New England Aquarium so many times we’ll pair a trip to the Aquarium with a meal at Legals afterwards. Very convenient especially when we can make a reservation using OpenTable.

    Unfortunately my experience wasn’t great. I ordered the twin petite filet and to be cooked medium. They came out with a ny strip. Sent it back. Came back out with what i ordered about 25 min later and the steak was rare. They took it back and microwaved the steak to the point of being inedible. They gave a new cook in training. The side dishes were decent. The waiter brought the bill and was contemplating what to do. Thankfully she left and came back and said my meal was comped. I didn’t even ask for that but it was well deserved. My friend enjoyed her amazing fried fish as she is GF and there were so many items she could chose off the menu! If I go back, I’ll definitely order that.
