Came here for the ending of my bday celebration. Our server was a nice older gentleman who did his best to be prompt. A side order of fried scallops was ordered. When it came to our table we received four small scallops. The price was $15 for them and we asked to take it off the bill as we were not expecting that size. The manager finally took the scallops off the bill as there was so much back and forth between the the sever and manager. The drinks took forever to come to our table. We weren’t offered bread as everyone was-I had to ask for the bread. It was so much back and forth with the issue of the scallops that I didn’t even want to stay for the dinner. The fried calamari was good-although not enough tarter sauce was given. Overall-drinks were okay.

Although the server didn’t introduce himself, he was polite and not overly attentive. We started out with Well fleet oysters and cod fish fritters. Fritters came hot and the oysters were good. Main meals Moroccan grilled sword fish with hummus and chick pea salad with pita. Legal signature crab cake combo. Both dishes were served timely and tasted fresh and NOT like it was sitting under a heating lamp.

We had a wonderful time. Food and service? Couldn’t ask for better. No steamers on the menu, but the grilled fish tacos made us forget...yum! All fish dishes cooked perfectly; flaky, not overdone. Ribs tender. Parking? Well it is what it is, located in a major mall on a Saturday, before a holiday. Plan ahead and enjoy!

We had a 9pm reservation. Pros: the waitress was very nice and helpful when we had questions about the menu. Our food was brought out pretty quickly. Ambiance was nice. Plenty of menu options. Cons: immediately when we walked in, we could tell the floor was very sticky. Our favorite seasonal drink, watermelon crush has been replaced by a watermelon basil martini which we did not like, at all. The watermelon crush was fresh and had real watermelon. The new drink was very sweet and tastes like artificial watermelon- will not have it again. Although we appreciate the speedy service, our entrees came out before we were even halfway done with the appetizers. We felt a little rushed. We also wondered if our food was being freshly made since the dishes came out so quickly. Lastly, we arrived at 9pm, at about 10:00 we tried to order another round of drinks and were told we had missed last call. We should have been told it was last call so we could order another drink. We ended up leaving and going to a restaurant next door for drinks.

It has been a couple of years since last visiting this restaurant. I booked a table of 4 for dinner with visiting business clients I haven’t seen thanks to Covid. When we walked in the vibe was not what it used to be. It felt like a typical family chain restaurant. Our server was very nice but offered little as far as recommendations . My client ordered a bottle of wine which they were out of. Our meals were average and overall we made it through the night. But I won’t be back.

Our server, I believe her name was Tracy, was outstanding, she was focused to our needs throughout the meal process. The food was great and prepared perfectly. If I had one complaint, it was that there was way to much ice in the glass that the margarita I had was served in. Otherwise, a great experience by all who was there in our party.

We had Kimberlee. Hopefully it was an off night for her. Dirty table, no napkins or silver till after main course arrived even though we requested 3 times. Lobster bisque was Luke warm at best. Asked for what other option for side instead of rice. I asked for broccoli and received an up charge of $6.50. She never explained that would be. Food was delish! Made it all worth it.

Not sure what was happening in the kitchen but my party had several issues with the food. It took some time in getting our apps, which consisted of a salad, 3 cups of chowder and an order of fried calamari. Calamari was good but the chowder was lukewarm at best. Our entrees were next, my daughters Tuna steak was way over cooked, requested rare and received it well done, steak tips requested medium rare and requested well done. We sent back the steak tips and requested an order of Mac & Cheese that arrived cold as well. The Cioppino was excellent though. Service was excellent, no fault of his that the kitchen didn't live up to Legal's rep.

This was a family gathering. We were seated promptly, service was excellent, food was very good, kids portions huge, adults adequate. But, with reservations, arriving promptly, and the restaurant empty, I resented being seated at an undesirable spot…near glasses and dirty dishes and the bar. Kind of a shame.
