   This is our favorite place to dine when we go to the Opera House. Service is excellent. Food is good but not really outstanding for the price. Nice lively ambiance, not too loud.

   Service and food were good but the booth we were seated in were tapped up and ruined my son’s brand new pants. Didn’t realize until we got home otherwise I would have said something. Be careful where you sit make sure to check.

   It is what it is. I don’t like to sit facing 4 TV screens while eating dinner but I guess others do. They cook Fish well and the chowder is good

   It was a great birthday meal in Boston. Our waitress was amazing 👏 and the food was fantastic as it always is at legal seafood. It was snowing while we were there so it added to the atmosphere of being in Boston around Christmas.

   Legal seafood al jaren een begrip in Boston; heerlijke klassiekers zoals Lobster bisque, crabcakes, Lobster rolls, maar ook voor visgerechten met een Japanse twist zoals bv Tonijn Tataki. Goede selectie wijnen om het geheel af te naken en attente bediening.

   We had a 2:45 appointment for 6. We arrived early and it was apparent that the only table to hold 6 was full. The table cleared out about 2:35 and sat empty for 15 minutes. The hostess saw it was available but just went about their business. Finally a busser happened by and cleaned up. 3 pm we were seated. I know it's only 15 minutes but it didn't need to be like that. Our server was efficient enough but the food was spotty. Oysters full of shell, overcooked shrimp, oily mashed potatoes and cold items on many plates. We are regulars at all the Legal's but this one needs some help. May choose to not go back.

   We had a very good experience- the hostess was very accommodating and found a table for us earlier than our reserved time. We love this restaurant in general and food was never disappointing. Trout and shrimp dishes were delicious, and oysters were fresh . Our waitress was very nice and good at her job!

    It seemed busy, but food came promptly and our server did great. The food was very good. They have unique flavor of sides. I really liked pad thai style quinoa and sesame & soy roasted broccoli. We went before seeing the Nutcracker. I was a little worried about time, but everything was smooth, we even had a time to enjoy a dessert.
