    Hi Management, I went last night to Legal Braintree I was very disappointed with my order, price went up and least food to eat. But, it was not my biggest problem, I woke up at the middle of the night with a food allergy. I think this is the Lobster who was not fresh. And, this is the first time I got this issue with my favorite Restaurant. Thanks!!!

    We had lunch during a very busy service on a Friday. Server was very gracious and professional. Mother in law (82), in a wheelchair was easily accommodated.

    Legals "promo" ClamChowder $1cup/$2bowl was what brought us in, and I've gotta say, they've "improved" from yrs past! The Calamari was so-so, because I've had way better elsewhere where the batter doesn't fall off and flavor bombs weren't present! Also we shouldn't have to wait for water!

    This was Legal Seafood Clam Chowder Day. Cups were $1 and Bowls $2. The chowder was full of clams and delicious cream base. We each had a bowl at the restaurant then took 4 cups home. Terrific value for top quality chowder. Our server brought us the takeout cups to our table which was greatly appreciated as the takeout line was long. Legal Seafood always has excellent service, very clean with fresh seafood. The rolls are served warm and delicious. We appreciate Legal Seafood’s promotions that allow customers to taste various foods at a lower price then on their menu.

    We sat at the bar and were served by Steven who was excellent. He was super helpful with wine selection as well as food recommendations. The food and service were fantastic. The reason for the four star rating is because I was disappointed that sushi is no longer available. The bartender told us that it had recently been removed from the menu.

    My wife and I enjoyed another excellent experience at Legal. The clam chowder, haddock, crab cake, and grilled shrimp were as good as any seafood restaurant we have visited. Our server, Derek, was well-informed about the menu and very professional.

    Legal Seafood is just a shell of how Legal’s use to be. I haven’t dined at Legal’s in 3 years and only did so because I received a gift card. The staff was still good, but food use to be better. Their signature clam chowder was watered down and my clam strip dinner was very crunchy and I didn’t taste much clam.
