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.

My scallops were fairly flavorful & attractively presented. The street corn & roasted mushroom side dishes were even better. My friend enjoyed his haddock, but thought the broccoli too stiff, perhaps undercooked. The venue, with large windows on an interesting & lively street corner near MIT, is excellent. There are 2 hotels on the block, a public rooftop garden/park, & the university's museum. (It's also just a few doors down from a subway stop & close to several buses.) Nicole's service was attentive, & she insured I was able to use a bonus card. The decor is low-key, but the illuminated faux-sculls are a nice touch.

I had an amazing time at Legal Seafood: Kendall. Jake was an attentive server who had great working knowledge of the menu and was ready to provide recommendations. The food was delivered without excessive wait and was also delicious. I cannot wait to dine at LSF again and hopefully get Jake as a server. 10/10

Very reliable seafood institution. A little expensive for what you get, and kitchen was quite slow when we dined there recently.

I have been to many legal sea foods previous to this one. This one had a different feel more casual. Restaurant was empty and took a long time for.server to come to our table. Some enjoyed the food others not impressed. My lobster roll seemed much smaller than advertised and pricey. I don’t find this one as high end as others.

We came for lobster bisque and there was none. They did offer us the one clam showder we order amd potentially 3 desserts but we came for lobster bisque not desserts ! Kids menu was very tiny and crab cake not up to the price.

The Legal Seafood lobster roll is itself worth a trip to Boston.

It was the best experience! Our server couldn’t have been nicer or more attentive. We all had lobster and it was delicious and well priced. I have to say… compared to Row 34, Legal Seafood has better quality lobster (row 34 has been chewy and taste less), better overall lobster roll (the bread at Row 34 is dry and the butter lacks a yummy salty flavor) and much more lobster meat for much less $$!

We had 2 different meals. One was a choice on Dine Out Boston. the other was off the regular meal. My meal of Rainbow Trout was wonderful. I also had a side of Pad Thai style quinoa and cold Slaw. We eat at Legal Seafoods often and the meal today was the best I have had at any Legal Seafoods in metro west and Boston for a long time. Best portions on sides and best flavors. Our server was outstanding. Overall it was a great meal.
