Legal Sea Foods - Park SquarePhenomenal!Great atmosphere at the downstairs bar! Outstanding service by all!6/15/2013 12:00:00 AMTaking Care of CustomersWe had a wonderful dining experience this past Monday night prior to a performance at Colonial Theatre. While the meal my daughter chose sounded delicious the sole was overcooked and was more reminiscent of baby food. You may think this is a negative review but it is quite the opposite, we brought it to the servers attention, it was promptly removed and an order for a different meal was quickly placed. A new fabulous Shrimp with Garlic was brought out in a timely manner and was thoroughly enjoyed. The server Scott was very friendly and easily accessible. Our overall experience was very positive because of the manner in which they handled the first meal presented, we will definitely return as the remainder of the meal was perfect!6/10/2013 12:00:00 AMLobster Overdose!!!Wow! I ordered the 1 1/2 pound lobster and had more than enough meat to satisfy my craving!!! A lot of food!6/6/2013 12:00:00 AMAs usual, great food. TheAs usual, great food. The restaurant is noisy - more than other Legals.5/29/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food and super service!Food was wonderful and James was a fantastic waiter!5/28/2013 12:00:00 AMA "FIRST TIMER'S" RIDEWhat an experience to watch a "new-be to Legals" face light up! We were met at the door by the most charming man, Tim, and seated immediately. We were delighted that several servers (our special server was Scott) were in our section to meet our needs, and answer the plethora of questions that my "new-be" was firing at them. VERY knowledgeable about the wines and oysters selections. The scallops, sole and swordfish were perfect. To top off our experience, the General Manager, even stopped by our table! We observed that all the managers were circulating thru the dining room and making dining experiences for all the patrons. Coming from restaurant backgrounds ourselves, we are hard to please, but this Park Square location CRUSHED IT!5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMBetter than Expected!We were very pleasantly surprised that such an old and well regarded restaurant was SO great! The service was better than in most of the finest dining venues. The servers were accommodating, knowledgeable, friendly, and had just teh right sense of helpfulness without ever being intrusive. The managers strolled around making sure all was well at each table, and it was. The menu was excellent - all kinds of seafood prepared in a variety of ways. The food was perfectly prepared, perfectly presented and delicious!! Loved the interesting sides especially the red onion jam. We went for the convenience and will return for the wonderful experience.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMbetter than evercame here years ago, returned on business food better than ever5/23/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful food, welcomingWonderful food, welcoming and service oriented staff, glad it was my choice for my last fresh seafood meal while visiting Boston. Harborside location was recommended to us a number of times - this location was just as, if not more so, great!!!5/22/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat DinnerNice ambiance, great food, perfect place for a special dinner.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMPretty, tasty, and friendlyThe place was eloquently set up yet not too fancy. Good variety of food and drinks, and delicious entrees. Their clam chowder was the best I've had in a long time. Also, friendly staff who are readily available and check in occasionally. We even got a little watermelon delicacy as thanks for making a reservation.5/13/2013 12:00:00 AMA Landmark and a ClassicI've been there many times. It's consistently delicious start to finish. The service is great. I love there "flights" for wine or tequila where you get 3 two oz pours of whatever type of wine (chardonnay, port, etc) or alcohol. Will go again on my next trip to Boston.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMAWESOME!Celebrating my son's graduation. Everyone (7 of us) in attendance raved about their meal. My 87-year-old Dad, who does not often go out to eat, said it was the best clam chowder he has ever had. And the service was absolutely wonderful. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and just the perfect amount of friendly. Kudos to her and all of the other staff who attended to us. A very, very pleasant experience!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMThe fish was excellent asThe fish was excellent as always. Crab cake combo a real hit. Server took roll plates away before we were finished, but brought more when we asked. We had a 5:30 reservation so it was quiet to start but got quite noisy by the time we left. Would definitely recommend for fish in the Park Plaza area.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMWe love Bill.It's great to see familiar faces when you visit an establishment. Bill is a great manager and constantly walks around checking on guests and getting things done. We have seen him for years there and it's great to know he is one of the great people in charge.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMportionssometimes the portions of seafood are small. You would think it would be a consistent weight for each entree each time, but it is clearly not. Very big variation5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMOur server, James, was excellentOur server, James, was excellent on recommending dishes for my dining companion and not interrupting the flow of our evening with brief check-ins and water refills. The noise level was moderate for dinner-time on a Tuesday evening, though the restaurant seemed quite full. The food ranged from decent to outright excellent: I ordered the market catch of arctic char and preferred my companion's seared tuna; I found the arctic char bland but a few bites tasted 'off' at the edge, I can't explain. The calamari appetizer was delicious. The clam chowder was as good as everyone says. I can't say much to the view: it was a window table for two against the street, though the decor inside was nice to look at.4/23/2013 12:00:00 AMThe water element they haveThe water element they have in the middle of the restaurant is spectacular. It is difficulty to describe folks just have to come into the restaurant and see for themselves.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMThe reservation was made onThe reservation was made on line but I did confirm & talk to people on the phone and everyone was very friendly and professional.4/15/2013 12:00:00 AMWe ate here before the marathonWe ate here before the marathon and had a great time.

The kids menu was a surprise to have all the right stuff!4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat seafood!The food is always good at Legals....for fresh fish it is dependable and a great stop for visitors. There are a lot of locations and large menu...make a reservation for dinner because can get very crowded..4/11/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstanding!!!This restaurant is a MUST if you are in Boston - the food is second to none, and the service was impeccable! There are other locations, but this one is the best!4/10/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways a PleasureThe staff and the food are great. We usually go before a show and they always ask if we have time restraints. They never rush you but are very attentive and mindful of your timetable. We have never had a bad experience. They always make us feel special.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMCouldnt have been happier.Couldnt have been happier. The food was excellent, the service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was intimate and noise controlled. Between the manager bringing us a complimentary app and the cheap validated parking, I have a new favorite dinner spot in the city!4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMexcellent and friendly serviceWe made reservations for a 7pm dinner on Friday, April 5th. We were seated right away, by the window which was a nice view. Our waiter was very attentive and my husband really enjoyed the oysters he recommended. When I ordered a bowl of the clam chowder he asked if we were going to share it and offered to split it up for us which is a service I have never received anywhere before. The little things always matter. The food of course was delicious, I had the crab stuffed shrimp with mashed potatoes and he had the crab stuffed fish and fries. When we finished dinner we were given a dessert on the house because I mentioned that we were on our honey moon when the host asked why we were in town.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMbest seafood aroundService was phenomenal from start to finish. Food was excellent like always.Had never been to this peticular location and was not sure what to expect.Will definetly be dining here again;also will tell my friends who are in the area to check out this resturaunt.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had an excellent time.We had an excellent time.

It was a last minute reservation and I was able to see what time slots were available for a party my size.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMOkay for dinnerIt was fine. Not outstanding, but fine. The location was convenient, it was child-friendly, and the service was great. But for the price, none of our family was overwhelmed. I'd try another seafood restaurant before I'd go back.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMLoved it!Mussels were an outstanding appetizer; Salmon was delicious!! And the Boston cream pie amazing!!!!!3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMLoved the clam chowder byLoved the clam chowder by far the best I've ever had. Very good location and ambiance3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat timeThe food was great and they accommodated us late due to flight issues. They gave me at tour of the cellars and it was very nice. Loved the wine list and the pricing was fantastic. Thanks for everything.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were there for restaurantWe were there for restaurant week ordered some hot tea. the tea cups were serve with a very strong scent of Coffee. it ruins the Earl Grey tea that we ordered. It will be nice if the restaurant can keep a set of tea cups just for tea.3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMRestaurant Week Come Back Soon!Everything was perfect from the moment I walked in. A table was available with a window view and it was a beautiful day. Our server appeared immediately and greeted us and gave his name (very professional). We decided against drinks and put in our appetizer order. Now I expected since this being my first time experiencing Restaurant Week I would get a downsized version of their regular appetizer menu. I was sadly mistaken. I had a cup of clam chowder and my guest had shrimp wontons. Order came out completely as a regular order and we had a hard time finishing it. Our entrees were Crab Cake with Grilled Shrimp and Sea Scallops with a Seaweed Salad. My guest had Three Fish Chef Choice with Spinach. All I can say is we had lunch the next day.3/20/2013 12:00:00 AMA wonderful restaurant withA wonderful restaurant with amazing food. Never had a bad meal, and never had poor service. Outstanding. Mine and my wife's favourite restaurant, and we always go there when in Boston (from the UK). We just celebrated our second wedding anniversary there, and it was a fantastic meal.3/19/2013 12:00:00 AMMost Special Dining ExperienceEXCELLENT EXPERIENCE. Quickly acknowledged upon arrival by many people who also acknowledged that we were an OpenTable guest. Seated quickly by Gordon, who was the friendliest guy. Our server, LEEYA, has to be the best waitress we have ever had. The Fish entrees were excellent. My wife was particularly in love with the seared encrusted Salmon on Mushroom Ravioli. A nice surprise of a small tasting came from the chef, also as an acknowledgement that we were an OpenTable Guest. It was so appreciated. Our treatment was so special our table against the window very nice and quiet. Thanks.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMI think the portions are gettingI think the portions are getting smaller. Still delicious, just not as much food2/15/2013 12:00:00 AMConvenient to the theater districtMy wife and I were late arriving for our reservation (traffic). I called and spoke to the host and told her we would be at least 20 minutes late, they were very accomodating. I did mention in my "Open Table" reservation that it was our 31st anniversary, guess I sort of thought there might be something special for us waiting at the table, but was surprised to get the same dining experience as everyone else...oh well.2/14/2013 12:00:00 AM
