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 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.

    I have always loved legal seafood and usually celebrate special occasions there. Check in was very hectic and confusing. Service was good as usual and the wait staff were helpful and pleasant. The entree I ordered, grilled scallops, was rather tasteless and rubbery. The sides were delicious as was the fried calamari appetizer. Cauliflower appetizer was excellent.

    Chowder day was packed and the food was good not great. Chowder could have been hotter and the service was a bit slow and orders were incorrect but they were quick to fix.

    We are regulars at legals for almost 30 years. The service has been great, same with the food. We always sit at the bar.

    Salad was fair. Not worth the 27.00 it costs. Service was okay but waiter was nowhere to be seen when wanted to settle up.
