   Went to celebrate a birthday, and was very disappointed in the food. The fish was not cooked well (some spots were raw), mashed potatoes ice cold, broccoli not fresh, rice pilaf flavorless. Service was inattentive. There are better choices for seafood in Boston!

   Love that Legal Seafoods is gluten-free. The fish is phenomenal and the atmosphere whether on a date or with friends is perfect.

   Food was good but service was not good! We wait a while (at least 15 mins) for our server to attend to us!

   Service was beyond slow. Particularly for a restaurant in the theater district.

   Our waiter, James, was excellent-super pleasant and knew the menu quite well. Food was terrific (oysters, fisherman's platter and cod). I've been coming to Legal's my entire life and the quality is always the same, service is great and the prices are reasonable. Experience always meets expectations.

   His place was as good as it was 40 years ago when we were kids. Except they’ve evolved to include Gluten free so you never have a worry, if you’re celiac. Thank you for a delightful meal.
