We had a great night. There were seven of us. We did have a reservation which I would recommend on a Saturday. We shared three appetizers, each ordered a different entree, and all the food was excellent. We also shared three desserts. They were yummy! Drinks were very good too! Cannot remember our servers name, but she was outstanding!

Price far exceeds quality, just not worth it at all. Far better choices at far better value. I had a gift card and why I went because It’s been a disappointment for years at any LS location- over rated and tourist trap.

Well,... This member of the Legal Seafoods' family has served us well for years by preparing custom-made, gluten-free lump crab cakes for my wife, but on our most recent visit they failed us: The request she phoned in to the reservations desk on the day of wasn't relayed to the kitchen. We'll give them another chance - mistakes happen - but it was a letdown.

The service and ambiance were fantastic. We had 12 oysters and all were tasty and fresh. We were a table of 3. The two of the dinners were up to the standards we expect from Legal. The third was not. It was the sesame encrusted ahi tuna with Szechuan green beans. The green beans were delicious. Unfortunately the tuna was not. Some of the pieces had a gray color and instead of the purple one would expect from this dish. Non of the tune tasted fresh. It was a disappointment for a $39 entre. Two diners shared the a piece of Boston Cream pie. It was delicious.

Understanding that all restaurants have had price increases recently, it still seems like Legal is a bad value for what you get. The portions are on the smaller side to average but their prices are really high for what you get. My husband and I shared an appetizer (tuna poke), two entrees (Tuna for him, crabcake for me) and a dessert (apple bread pudding that was pretty dry and flavorless) last night. Without any alcohol, the total was over $120 before tip. There was nothing really outstanding about the meal or service. The music was also pretty loud and a bit bizarre for Valentine's Day (no romantic vibe at all).

We had a large party (8) so we took a bit longer to order but the service was so slow, often looking for our waiter and when entrees were brought out, one was missing and after more than 8 minutes, we had to flag down anyone we could find to get our last entree. The food is historically delicious at legal but tonight was different. The rolls were stale, the spicy drink was not spicy, and my fish tacos were served on stale hard “soft tacos”.

We are regulars at Legal and have been for over 20 years. The steamed littleneck and Ouster Rockefeller were excellent as was the nut crusted salmon my wife enjoyed for dinner. I ordered the lobster roll. Quite frankly paying $42 for an all claw meat lobster roll is something I will never do again. The lobster roll was heavy on celery and low on taste. A great disappointment
