   Very disappointed that on OpenTable it did not indicate that the restaurant would be closing 15 minutes after I would schedule seating time

   Great lunch combo but they raised the price since two weeks ago by $5 or $10 for 2.

   ok quality innovation service have slipped. But prices up. Sad. it's not fine dining anymore as it once was in the past. Used to be great at preparing any type of fish, shell fish on menu. Understand it changed owners in last few years, and the difference shows.

   Still decent seafood but Legal has gone downhill since the Berkowitz family sold it. Very plain menu. Meals were ok but not top notch.

    I am usually a fan of this restaurant, but the quality of the food has declined. The tuna was overcooked, the scallops were nonexistent and swimming in butter and the fried calamari was cold. Overall, a disappointment.
