    Eight hour trip to Boston, trying to get a true "Boston" experience. Found this restaurant, and let's just say that it was one of the worst eating experiences I've ever had. Plastic utensils and paper plates. They give you a rock to open up the crab. God knows if they even clean it. What a farce! I could have done so mush more with my 60++ dollars.

    Definitely Not Going Back: Rarely have a day off, so when I did, I was excited to get some seafood. Looked around online, and the place seemed nice... boy was I surprised. Went in with 10 month old baby girl and couldn't get a high chair, but the three year old little boy that came in after us ended up with one. While the food wasn't too bad (I've had way better at legal) it was FAR too overpriced, pound and a quarter lobster for 28 bucks and no side orders??? I couldn't believe it, to top it off the service was horrible, and I'm a server at a restaurant so I know what it's like to be busy, and I know what it's like to be a bad server. Definitely would not recommend to anyway unless you like to pay a lot of money for mediocre food and bad service.
