    Had another great meal at Legal Seafood last night and had our favorite waiter Brian who we’ve known since Legal Seafood was located in the South Shore Plaza across the street! Thanks again Brian for a great time!!

    Best lobster rolls! It might cost a little more but it’s worth it. We got the hot buttered. We started off with oysters of the day and clam chowder. It was my son’s birthday and he really enjoyed it as much as I did!

    The front desk lady was unpleasant. When we walked in a gentleman was standing next to us and she automatically assumed we were together and before anything she told us she could not accommodate our booth request because the people present was more than we indicated on our reservation. I informed her that the gentleman was not with us, she took us to our table and did not tell us anything else. I believe the person who greets the guests should set the tone for the restaurant. Our server also was not great we ordered seafood that required some tools and were not given any, also he probably checked on us once. I understand if the restaurant is very busy but there was maybe 7 tables full. The food however, was great.

    We had a party of 8 for Father's day - food was excellent as always. Service was a little slow and our son's meal was brought out about 10 minutes after the rest of the group. Otherwise - great meal as always.

    Our family was experiencing a challenging day without Dad and we made a reservation at Legal Seafoods to cheer everyone up. Unfortunately, we were seated right by the bathroom which did not create the mood that I was looking for. When I asked to move, we were told that there were no other tables. It made a challenging day even more difficult. In retrospect, I should have simply left as it was a wasted $150 dollars. No one ate or enjoyed their food and there was no comment by the waitress as she took away almost full plates of food.

    Cheyanne was our server…she was great….food was delicious as always….bar service was a little slow which was surprising as the bar/resturant wasn’t full. Always a great meal!

    The scallops were not seared. We were told the scallops were seared, but they looked fried or air fried. They are not like they used to be. The half roast chicken was good but very salty.
