Food was all very good and our waiter was very good as well - though don't know his name since he did not introduce himself. Hostess was ok, but never made eye contact. Bartenders were not engaging once we were served and bar was empty. He seemed annoyed we were only having a drink and going to a table for food.

Great service and food. I really miss the mashed sweet potatoes. Prices have gotten high. $128 for lunch for two seems a bit pricey and didn’t even have dessert!

My wife and I hadn’t been to Legal Seafood for quite some time and it didn’t disappoint. The seafood, especially the lobster, crabcake and shrimp, were delicious.

I got Greek salad with salmon and the salmon was delicious but the salad was not so good. It didn’t seem fresh made. The fried shrimp and gf basket was lacking as well. Just not my cup of tea.

We were disappointed by the food. Not as good as we remembered. The tuna nachos were very good as was the shrimp cocktail. The fish and chips was disappointing as was the crab cake combo. The shrimp and scallops were very good.
