| About: | For three generations, Legal Sea Foods has served only the highest quality, freshest fish at a great value. The company famously pledges "If it isn't fresh, it isn't Legal!" We search the world to select the finest and most flavorful goods, since we demand nutrition and value as well as great taste in every dish we prepare. And for service, you'll find no equal. When company founder George Berkowitz opened the first Legal Sea Foods, he gave his servers a simple instruction: "Treat my guests as if they were dining at your own home table." That advice has worn well over the years, gracefully evolving into Legal's sophisticated, upscale style. Can't make it to our restaurant? We can ship to you!

First impression: hideous decoration and lighting! Most of their entrees are not very special while the service is often poor. Now that I've dined at this place a couple of times, I can't see why you should come there again, either for a friend get-together or a romantic date. Two thumbs down on this one.
19th August 2008 visiting from UK
We visited Legal Seafoods close to the Aquarium Boston Harbour having been recommended the chain by a friend.
The food was good but pricey compared to seafood across the rest of Boston.
The portions were small even by English standards.
Our waitress was chatty as usual although a reasonably good server
except that she did not offer refills for the children's sodas.
At the end of the meal as we paid the bill and left a $20 tip which was 11% of the total (which we thought was a good tip)she proceeded to go into a long dialogue as to how we should know that the expected tip was 20% and that she did not want us to disgrace ourselves in other establishments.She then carried on telling us how little the servers were paid and that they needed the tips.
This really coloured our view on Legal Seafoods sufice to say that we will not be returning to this seafood chain and would not recommend it

I couple of years ago my husband and I ate at this location and had a wonderful meal. I was very excited when my husband and I decided to vacation in Boston again and have dinner at Legals again. Sadly, I couldn't had walked away more disappointed than I did. The only positive of the entire meal the fish. Both my husband's and my fish was wonderful. The rest of the food was horrible. The $7 Caesar salad tasted like a gas station salad, my baked potato and broccoli was undercooked, and my husband's steak was horrible. The restaurant was so loud that I couldn't hear my husband sitting across the table from me and the wait staff would disappear for long periods at a time. For 2 salads, 2 main courses, and 2 glasses of wine our total was $105.
We will not be returning to Legals on our next trip to Boston. There are so many excellent restaurants in the area that will not disappoint like Legals.
