    Two orders of fish n chips that were on point! Perfect white fish with a good crunch coating. French fries were large and crispy. Our server was the nicest guy who took wonderful care of us.

    Service was excellent; knowledgeable, patient, and gracious. Though would have like for the entrees not to have been right on the heels of the starters, before they were finished.

    I always enjoy the food at Legal. My dinner was excellent as always. But the service during this visit did not meet expectations. I had to ask for water after my server had stopped twice to welcome me. I ordered sushi and had to ask for chopsticks, soy sauce and wasabi. But she was quick to bring the check, before I even finished eating. All considered, it was a gap in service that is notable and worth sharing.

    We’ve been to many legal seafoods in the greater Boston area, but this was our definite favorite. Besides the food being delicious, we were very pleased the atmosphere was quiet and conducive to catching up with friends and family, We had 3 different allergies at our table (shellfish, gluten, and dairy) and our waitress handled them knowledgeably and professionally, which made all feel safe and comfortable. Actually, that is WHY we chose Legal Seafood - because they pride themselves in meticulously caring for allergy issues….This is the only restaurant my daughter will go to! Forgive me for not ordering seafood this time, but the hot honey chicken is out of this world!! My only complaint is they only gave me one thigh, whereas I usually get 2 when I order it in the other Legals. Other than that, it was a perfect place to celebrate my daughter’s birthday!

    Our experience at this branch was lovely. The food was delicious, especially the clam chowder. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the fish & chips was enormous. Our server was gracious and professional. Definitely, a place to go again.

    So happy to return to LSF Kendall. Ive been coming for quite a while and our server Jake was pleasant, knowledgeable, and charismatic. He even recommended to use the open table app to help make reservations! In the time that we were here the chef brought us a complementary salad to go with our meals which was very thoughtful and generous. Jake not only was quick with our food and drink orders, but was very professional as well. Looking forward to returning.
