    The food and service were excellent. We were so disappointed to see that the patron margarita is no longer on the menu. The new one is not nearly as good - it’s comparable to koolaid. PLEASE bring back the old recipe. It was the best marg in the country!
    Legal C Bar - DedhamResponded 6 days ago
    Mark, We can absolutely still do the old recipe, as we always have those ingredients in house! Feel free to ask for me if needed and i can assist in you getting it. I will communication with my staff that we can still deliver on the fan favorites! Best, Ashley Ortiz, General Manager

    It was very busy for a Thursday evening. Also loud and could barely hear the people we were with. The drinks took a long time to come where we were wondering what happened. They could have had more staff to not make the wait so long.
    Legal C Bar - DedhamResponded 6 days ago
    Elle, My apologies on the long wait. Due to the holiday, it was much busier than anticipated so we will absolute do better in the future. We hope to have you back in soon. Kindly, Ashley Ortiz, General Manager

    Unfortunately, legal seafood has gone downhill and/or it looks like they don’t really care at the Dedham location what they’re putting out. Maybe they believe the clientele isn’t discerning enough. It is in contrast the experience we’ve had in the Seaport in Boston, for example, which seems to career or upscale and seems to take it product more seriously. For example, our calamari and the fried seafood platter were way way over-fried. Quahog stuffies were tasty but undersized and emphasized the breading over the quahog itself. Service was friendly enough but super slow: it was 20 minutes before anyone even came to our table initially and then It literally took another 45 for our drinks to arrive, so it was over one hour overall from the time we sat down to get a drink. Food then predictably came before our drinks actually in the end. And when we ordered a glass of wine it didn’t show up until basically dessert. And it was not the glass we asked for, but a more expensive one. They were kind enough to comp the whole first round of drinks, which I do appreciate given the fact that we waited forever. But unfortunately it isn’t what it used to be. I guess this is what happens when you become a big national chain. I wouldn’t go back to this location.

    The food as always was tasty and hot. Service was great. We had not been to Legal C in a few years and were disappointed to find the place dirty and tired looking.

    Service was awful. Food profile (outside of sushi) was terrible. There was minimal seafood in the baked stuffed lobster - would discourage you from spending your money on this.

We assure you that we are always striving to improve our menu and service, and your feedback helps us do just that. We hope you will give us another chance to impress you in the future. If you'd like to reach out to me directly, I would love a chance to make this right for you. Kindly, Ashley Ortiz, General Manager
