I've been coming to legal seafood for many many years and this was the first time I did not enjoy my meal. I got the tuna burger with a side of sautéed mushrooms, and although the mushrooms were wonderful, the tuna burger was not good at all. I will avoid that my next time.

Have eaten at LS (mostly Boston locations) for over 40 years. Have eaten at the Short Hills location a few times. Don't know if the server was new and thus maybe a bit inexperienced but not terribly impressed. Inattentive and not seeming to bo much on the ball.
