I was expecting a formal romantic setting with high end food given the location, and would highly recommend this restaurant during summer to enjoy the harbor view and outdoor eating. Great place and location for a younger and social crowd as date nights!

Gluten-free friendly! Can’t help that it’s a chain, but we had a solid experience. From out-of-state and two people could definitely split the fisherman’s basket.

This is hands down Boston’s best seafood spot. The lobster sandwich I had here? Best I’ve ever tasted! Loved it so much we came twice-if we’d stayed any longer, honestly, I’d have dragged you back every single day. Staff were proper friendly, kitchen smashed it, every dish was spot-on. Big thanks to the whole team-see you next time we’re in town!

The lobster was good and the waiter took it out of the shell, which was terrific. On the other hand, he had a very busy and demanding ten top next to us and they took most of his time and attention. Waited FOREVER to get a cocktail and also waited the same amount of time for a refill. The Husband's blackened tuna was cold and dry and tasteless and truly disappointing. We've been to other Legal Seafood locations before and have never had this poor an experience. Don't go here. Life's too short to pay good money for bad food.

It's not what it use to be. The menu is boring. We ordered some lobster bisque and was pretty bland, no one lobster morsel. The fish was ok (sole) seasoning was off, the sides were not appealing. Seems more like a fast food place now

Table was ready and waiting when we arrived. I had a delicious atlantic char with whipped potatoes and Szechuan chili green beans, with lemon sorbet and coffee for dessert. My companion ordered the lobster roll with chips. We both enjoyed our meals. Skip the dirty soda - the price doesn't justify what it is. Server was attentive and knew the menu and the market rates well.

My food came out cold and nothing was done. When we told our server he didn't say anything and bought out more sides. My steak was cold as well but if I waited for another meal , my date would ha e been done. Nothing was taken off.

The yellowtail and the sole fish were wonderful. The oyster delicious- the freshness was just perfection. The clam chowder is not bad, but not the best there is. Definitely worth a visit for sure. Staff was helpful and gave good suggestions. Atmosphere was nice, not so loud you can't hear the party you're with, but not super quiet. I love how is within walking distance to a variety of places.

Went here with a group of 6 for lunch and we got seated almost immediately. Our server was super nice and our food times was very responsive. The seafood tasted really fresh and tasty. I got the Market Fish which was a Bass that day and the sides were the Szechuan Greenbeans and Bok Choy & Kimchi which were both good but the kimchi wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping. We also got Oysters on the shell that were really good sharing! I had a Cucumber drink that was refreshing and I would definitely order again.

The place seemed fairly priced and the atmosphere was quite to where you could comfortably have a conversation at the table.

Would recommend to people to go for some good seafood.
