    Our Open Table reservation got us in quickly and we sat in a nice booth. We decided to try Legal’s new menu and the promotion for $1. cup of chowder with the purchase of an entree from the new menu. The wait staff did an excellent job and were very friendly. We both ordered the hot buttered lobster roll which was delicious and our choice of two sides. If you plan on visiting Legals often, I’d suggest signing up for the Legal Reward program. It’s well worth it.

    We were appalled at the portions and proportions of the main courses: the grilled bass and the Chilean bass were fresh enough but not half the size they once were at other Legal locations where we ate frequently. The Chilean bass was extremely thin and small and the dish itself was presented with two vegetables: but everything was crowded out on the plate by an enormous serving of thick cut, grey broccoli. Strikingly unappetizing. Also, nearly everything that the four of us ordered from appetizers to main courses was under-seasoned or dry. Just no attention paid to quality and none of us plan to visit or recommend the Framingham location again.
    Legal Sea Foods - FraminghamResponded on January 30, 2025
    Thanks for visiting us, Eleni. We're truly sorry to hear about your recent experience at Legal Sea Foods - Framingham. We always aim to deliver great food and value, and we regret that we missed the mark on your last visit.

We hope you'll give us another chance to impress you in the future.

    The food was excellent, our server was very attentive without rushing us along. Two minor issues. (1) We were seated at the bar 20 minutes later than the reservation for the dining room, after being offered the option of waiting even longer for a table in the dining room. (2) Appetizers and entrees were served at the same time - it would be good if we would be asked if we wanted them together or the appetizers first. Overall, it was a very good experience.
    Legal Sea Foods - FraminghamResponded on January 28, 2025
    Dear Andrew, Thanks for visiting us! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the food and found our service to be attentive. We apologize for the delay you experienced at the bar and the oversight with your appetizers and entrees being served together. Your feedback is invaluable, and we'll certainly take this into consideration to improve our dining experience. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even better experience! Best, Efrain Roman, General Manager

    Swordfish was dry and overcooked and the supposed lemon caper sauce had no evidence a single caper was used. I had reserved a table for one and upon arrival the receptionist said she had no two top tables left and I should just eat at the bar, which was crowded to capacity. I declined and was finally ungratefully seated at a table. My server was attentive and pleasant. But the food was not near the consistency or quality of Legal past.

    Overall not my best experience at Legal The table across the isle had a very noisy group that was drinking and shouting among themselves. This was in the dining area and not the bar area Our fried calamari app was mostly tentacles and just a few rings. I’m not sure if that’s good? But I prefer rings, and that what I get at most other restaurants The bread finally came out halfway thru our dinner
