Our location in Braintree is making a splash. Designed to evoke memories of vintage seafood restaurants, the space offers as many seating options as fish in the sea. Those looking to satisfy any thirst (or hunger) for fun, can choose between our bar, oyster bar or table and booth seating alongside the open kitchen. In warm weather, a glass wall slides back to a large patio.

    Jay and Grant at the bar continue to impress me with great service, great attitude which translates into a great time for me and my guests always. They are two of the best bartenders on the South Shore. I highly recommend you spend some time with these two!

    Food was decent, although I sent the clams with linguine back because the clams had a funky taste to them. Bummer. My guest's lobster roll looked yummy, but it was pricey in the over $40 range. My wife's haddock was nicely cooked. We'll go back, but there is just something about it that has brought it down a notch from where it has always ranked with us. Service left a lot to be desired.

    Food was good, service efficient. Only atmosphere, music was loud, interfered with conversation. Request for music to be turned down was noted but it did not change

    We were out celebrating our anniversary dinner & Legal Seafood is always our favorite. We started off with 2 cocktails, which took quite a while to get from the bar, even though we were sitting in the bar area. The appetizer started off was tuna Taki, which was over seasoned, & an extremely small portion, and the seaweed salad was turning. Our main entrées were blackened scallops, over cesear salad, which was excellent and the legal combo with the scallops, grilled shrimp and a crabcake always my absolute favorite.  We ended with the espresso torte which was delicious!

    Food was great as usual. I got Haddock Anna’s way and it is always good. It’s healthy and moderately priced. Legal’s has a nice atmosphere and is very comfortable. You are never rushed.

    Our fish sandwiches were a bit overcooked & my tuna patty didn’t have much taste. Was disappointed that I brought out outof Towners here. Service was good despite seeing our meal on the ledge for several minutes before being delivered.
