Legal Sea Foods

¢-$$$, Seafood, Downtown

User Rating: ***** 4.7

Fodor's Review:

What better place than the waterfront to build one of the snazziest branches of the local Legal Sea Foods chain? The classic and contemporary seafood preparations mirror those of the other locations, but this one's dining room is full of colorful tiles and sea-inspired sculpture. A preferred-seating list allows calls ahead.

The Best Lobster in Boston

Posted by tylerbarton from Columbia, South Carolina on 7/24/07

I had the best Lobster I have ever had. It was stuffed and wieght about 3lbs. Service was great. They also have the best wine prices in town or in any town I have ever seen. I loved it.

I was slightly disappointed

Posted by Wife_of_a_Chef from Ohio on 7/5/07

The restaurant was very nice, clean, great atmosphere. I had raw oysters for the first time!! They were great. Overall the food was pretty good - I was very disappointed in the clam chowder (go to Union Oyster House for this!) - it lacked flavor. My biggest disappointment though was in the preparation of the fish - a restaurant this big and well-known should get temperatures right the first time. We were served 2 pieces of Well-Done tuna. It was quickly replaced with a wonderfully cooked Medium Rare piece, but as I said, a place with such a reputation should not have made such an error.

The Lobsters are lobsterific at Legal Seafood

Posted by Sarah from Wilmington, NC on 12/31/05

This place was awesome. We made last minute reservations for 4.5 and got in around 8. The place was hoppin'. Service was prompt and courtious. The food was out of this world. Chowder is very good. I had the almond encrusted salmon and he had the lobster. TO DIE FOR. Everything was so very fresh. This is place to go great seafood. Very well priced for the quality.
