Food was just warm not hot. Sloppy appearance. It was a cloudy drizzly day, less people, but no reason to just go through the motions. My steak tips were minimal and 2 were very small with fat. Wife’s Salmon was small. Kids fries tasted like they were sitting for awhile. Very unprofessional coming from a Legal C Food. My local no name pub has better food for way cheaper.

I went for the trout which was baked perfectly. Our booth was located near the kitchen which was too noisy to have a conversation . We were moved not to a booth but a quiet table. The tacos were also a pleasant surprise and delicious. The new menu gave us lots of lunch options.

Legal always is fresh and the food is done perfectly. They are reliable and a great place to bring out of town guests for our North Atlantic seafood. The lobster roll is a half pound with fries and $38 so abundant but pricy. it is a splurge but worth it.

We had a lovely lunch. Good selection on the menu, good service. My lobster bisque had more lobster than is sometimes found at restaurants. My companion was very happy with her trout. My grilled shrimp were good, but the citrus butter enhancement didn’t have much flavor. It wasn’t bad, just not outstanding. Same with the green beans side. Nonetheless, I am sure I will return because it was very good overall.

Quality of food was poor overall. In addition, one person in the group ordered a meal without a certain ingredient. The meal was brought to the table and was made with that ingredient. We were then told that the kitchen closed 10 minutes earlier and that the only option was the meal that was made with the ingredient our friend could not eat. The waitress walked away and did not offer our friend another option. We were also not told that the kitchen or the bar was closing. We've enjoyed legal c bar for years but this experience ruined a birthday celebration and left a bad impression since neither the waitress, the kitchen staff, or manager acknowledged our experience.

Over time I've sort of relegated Legals to the category of never terrible, never great. Last night, for the first time in a long time, our experience was outstanding. There's a new menu, and our table ordered three new menu items. They were all fantastic, and the young lady who waited on our table was the best server we've experienced anywhere in years. It was a lovely evening.

I'm so sorry to say that it was a disappointing evening at Legal C Bar. Our waitress was unfriendly, and very inattentive. She never checked in with us to see how the food was, and at the end of the evening I had to hunt through the restaurant to find her to finally bring our check. Aside from the oysters- which were delicious, the food was bland or way over the top greasy. We all ordered fish dishes, but there was no lemon served with any of them. My shrimp scampi was extremely boring and tasteless, though doused in oils and fats. It needed a lot of lemon and salt to bring it up. In order to get the lemon slices needed to perk up the food, we had to flag down another server who was very nice and quick about getting it over to the table. All in all, I would not recommend Legal C and will avoid going there again.

Sadly the food service was poor tonight. The manager was so very nice she comped the entire meal as we waited from arrival at 6-15 pm until close to 8 pm for our food. They didn’t have decaf coffee or any cappuccino drinks, limited tea options and that was too bad.

A lunch date to celebrate my Mother In-laws birthday and everything was perfect. Our waitress, Tatiana, was pleasant and efficient. The food was fabulous! Highly recommend the test kitchen salmon dish. The only draw back is the parking at Legacy place, if you have a reservation allow plenty of time to search for a parking spot.

Were going to do takeout, but a late (8:30) table was available so we thought we'd give it a try. This was our first outing as a family to eat at a restaurant - and it worked out great. Wasn't too crowded at that time, staff still wearing masks, food as good as we remembered + the Taste Kitchen had some good choises. I had the salmon - perfectly cooked, the side was awesome, and amount of food perfect.
