Our two-story fish emporium elevates the 40-year legacy of our original location in Chestnut Hill (a few door down from where we are now). Here we feature a large raw bar, open kitchen and glass-enclosed lounge. In warmer months, we retract the lounge’s glass walls and ceiling for drinking under the sun or stars. And we open our patio, overlooking Hammond Pond, for al fresco dining. Join us upstairs at our restaurant or shop our fish market on the first floor.
Specializing in upmarket seafood, this contemporary chain also serves steaks & cocktails. Based on 941 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.3 stars. Price $$$

Fresh Seafood but Not So Great Service: Legal Seafoods Chesnut Hill

As a going away dinner some good friends and family treated me to a very nice seafood restaurant in chestnut Hill, MA called “Legal Sea Food” this is a super nice restaurant and a fine dining type of restaurant. The atmosphere is classy and quiet! I would recommend the fish tacos for an appetizer they were so good we got the fried and grilled fish tacos. Next for good everyone got something different but I got Salmon with sweet potato mash and Street corn and my food was delicious! Since it was a celebration we got an ice cream dessert which was also good! All in all I would recommend Legal Seafood for date night or for celebrations you won’t be disappointed!

We started with two Sangrias, 1 red and 1 white. We shared a crab cake (not pictured because we ate it so fast) and I had the baked haddock and she had the scallops. Great food as always with plenty left over!

Legal Sea Foods hasn’t really change in terms of their food offerings. Overall, food quality has stayed consistent, and flavors wise was decent.

I split the lobster mac and cheese with my mom. It was delicious. The service was excellent. Many seats were available at lunch. The market rate was around $50 for that dish when we ate it. It may be more or less expensive on different days and times of the year.

This place completely surprised us. We’ve lived here for four years and never visited because it was a chain so we had low expectations. My parents wanted a lobster roll and the location was close so we went. Wow! Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted so fresh.
