Hands down one of the best dinners we had in Boston!!! The harbor view from our table was the perfect backdrop and setting for our dinner. The food amazing and the service spectacular. Our server Gorge was 1st class!!! He took his time with us mentioned the specials and offered great advice on choices which made our dining experience perfect… From the lobster bisque, fresh local oysters and lobster our taste buds could not have been more pleased… I truly can’t say enough about this dinner and George…. That night we ate like Kings and George made us feel like Kings!!

I LOVE Legal Sea Foods! I can always get a great meal there that’s fresh (if it isn’t fresh, it isn’t legal!) and delicious. I could order just about anything off the menu so it’s always so hard to choose. This time, along with a bowl of clam chowder (which I loved! I convinced my friend who lives in California that Boston clam chowder is better), I got the simply grilled tuna steak, which could have used more seasoning, but it was still fine. The butter that I got with it didn’t have much taste either. I still ate the whole thing and the street corn and broccoli were great sides. I just might try something different next time—I’ve gotten the crab cake that comes with shrimp and scallops before and that is excellent! I just wasn’t as hungry this time so I didn’t get that. My friend got a salad with cooked salmon on it and he said it was perfect. Can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful restaurant and good service with excellent view. The speed of service and food delivery was perfect. The appetizers were simply the best. Would recommend bang bang cauliflower, tataki and oysters.

Nice seafood here! The place is so big yet reservation is highly recommended as when we went during the dinner, even the place is so big it was full. We had Lobster roll which came in huge size with fries, it was very good! The clam chowder was okay only if you have them hot. Service was okay. The view was fabulous.

We went to this place because it was close to the hotel and we didn’t want to venture too far after a long day. Without a reservation, we were seated pretty quickly by the door. Only after I went to the bathroom did I see the gorgeous view out of the floor to ceiling windows on the other side.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary at this restaurant and we love everything: food, atmosphere, the water view, especially the service. We had lobster tempura roll to share, my wife had legal’s signature crab cake combo while I had gulf of Maine lobster with two sides, steamed sweet potato mash and Szechuan green beans. We highly recommend this restaurant to any seafood lovers

When I visited Boston I asked my friend to take me to the most Boston place for dinner and they took me to Legal Sea Foods and I was not disappointed. Located by the water, I was able to enjoy my dinner with a beautiful view of the harbor. The restaurant is also big which could accommodate a lot of people without any issues. There’s also a lot of options in terms of food which leaves you spoilt for choice. I was pleasantly surprised to see both Asian (sushi rolls) and Western food (pasta) options. The restaurant won several national awards and got featured on multiple news sources. Next time I’m visiting Boston I’m definitely coming back!
