Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Legal Sea Foods - Kendall Square is a Boston staple known for its "delicious" clam chowder and "crispy" French fries. Guests appreciate the attentive service, with staff accommodating special requests and food allergies. While some diners found the menu hit-or-miss, standout dishes like the lobster roll make it a worthwhile visit.

They took great care of my large party - four generations in town for the holiday. We come here annually for the best seafood and best curated/most affordable wine list in Boston.

We had an excellent waitress. My friend Tommy is a longtime Legal afficionado. He lives with his wife in Santa Monica, Calif. now, but we come every time he's in town. Sometimes even twice.

Baked Robster was so good. Robster was huge with lots of mussels and other shellfish, lemon, corn and potatos. Our server was very helpful. Fillet mignon stake was very tender and tasted wonderful. And clam chowder bowl, which we three shared, was big enough and tasty.
