Our two-story fish emporium elevates the 40-year legacy of our original location in Chestnut Hill (a few doors 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 loungeā€™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.

    Good, service drinks were great. It was restaurant week so I took my family there and we got the food off the menu and we all loved the choices we got and it was worth it.

    Our server John was always available and checked with us at the appropriate points. Very efficient and organized. The good was great. My guest had the Dine out Boston offerings which were very large portions. I ordered off the main menu which was perfect for me with my favorites.

    We are frequent customers so know this is an aberration but the service was terrible. The server forgot our drinks and chowder. By the time we got someone to track her down our entrees arrived. She brought the wrong drink. It took 50 minutes to actually get any food. We had to track her down for the dessert and then the bill. I hope she was new and that was why. Good was good as usual

    Itā€™s Dine In Boston week and since I visit Legal Seafood about once a week for the oyster happy hour, today along with my sister I decided to go for the three course Prix fixe lunch. I ordered the crispy fish sandwich and she ordered the baked haddock and we both had Legals world renowned clam chowder. Both meals were exceptional and fresh which I always expect from Legals. I still had my weekly fill of oysters on the half shell that I canā€™t live without. You canā€™t beat Legal seafoods when it comes to the best fish and seafood in the world.

    We were seated at a table where one seat was next to a column and was very tight-a plug was right by my head and it was uncomfortable. Food was excellent as always.
