    We came for a late lunch, restaurant in a lull of activity, so we were comfortable taking our time, enjoying the quiet, never felt rushed,. A really epic 2 and 1/2 hour lunch. Wait staff was superb. Food was top notch!

    Service was great! Food was so-so. If I’m being honest, nothing more than a feature item at red lobster. Nothing wrong with RL, but for the price point at Legal, I would expect more.

    Our server had excellent recommendations and was able to suggest a drink that was off-menu. Chowder was terrific - you can't go wrong with Legal's Chowder. Was disappointed there were only fried scallops on the menu. Service was good but a bit sporadic. It was New Year's Eve so understand but it took a while to get our second drinks.

    Not what we were hoping for. We went on the recommendation of a local and were hoping for a great, fresh seafood restaurant. Unfortunately Legal Seafood is more like Red Lobster. Standard menu, gimmicky drinks are no fresh options for seafood. It was an underwhelming experience with forgettable food. Next time I’m in town I’ll do my research and find a truly local seafood restaurant. Would only recommend this place if you’re looking for a place to bring children or someone who hasn’t eaten seafood before.

    good location and met expectations. Was in area on Xmas Eve and this was one of the few places open. All enjoyed their meal. Lobster with mac and cheese was the best.
