    Very good dining experience made even better by the gorgeous view. Staff were friendly and food was very good. We chose a Dine Out Boston meal since it was featured then. My shrimp scampi had a little kick to it, which was terrific. my husband’s fish and chips were OK—he prefers a thicker fish but it was good. Again, the ambiance is the real feature with this restaurant.

    The drinks were under poured, very small, my espresso martini was not filled to the rim, my husband's whiskey was less than a shot, he complained, and his 2nd drink was just about the same. The staff was standing above near the kitchen area above us 5-6 people staring in boredom out the window, like there was nothing for them to do. Very noticeable, overstaffed I'm thinking. It's a much different experience at the Legal's at the Burlington Mall, everything there is absolutely perfect !!
