    The Dine out Boston LUNCH special on a Sunday was a bonus, well prepared. Only disappointment was the only one choice of dessert, no substitution of cheesecake and wold have preferred an option being lactose intolerant.

    Legal has been revitalized over the last year and a half. A renewed menu but above all far better quality and service.

    Great location, food was excellent, good menu selection. We sat at the high-tops near the bar so we were able to look outside.

    I recall going to a Legal Seafood years ago and the quality of the food and preparation being better. We ordered lobster bisque, crab cake appetizer, the warm lobster roll w/ fries, and key lime pie. Everything was good but not great. The server was lovely and attentive. The restaurant could use a refresh/remodel. The high prices were not worth the value of the experience.

    Legal's is not the place it used to be before it was sold. The fish is average. They no longer offer to of their signature items...onion strings and fish chowder. My family and I used to look forward to dining there. I don't think we will be back.
