The dinner was good; management should have more than ONE bartender. Especially, with the theatres across the street.

Normally, love legal seafoods ! The  food and drinks we did have, were very good. However, they only had one sushi chef, and that person had to leave, so we could not order sushi as we would have liked to. They were also out of the spiced cider sangria, which my son was interested in. Bang bang cauliflower was excellent! My son was able to get a tuna appetizer for his dinner, as it did not require the sushi chef. I had the rigatoni Bolognese with ricotta. I thought the ricotta was better than the Bolognese. It was also too hot to eat for quite a while, having been cooked in a cast-iron.  I did burn my tongue a little on the first bite. All this, would not keep us from returning.

The food at Legal Seafood is consistently good. The menu changes a bit every season, but most of the standards are still available. I like the new options for taste profiles and found they do complement all the types of seafood.

Great food and service from our server Derek. I've always loved Legal's. My crabcake was yummy, broiled rather than deep-fried, which from what I learned visiting Maryland means that it has more crab and fewer breadcrumbs to hold it together.

Good food! They don't do anything for birthdays, which was a bummer, but good experience overall!

Our server was incredibly rude for absolutely no reason. Seemed annoyed he got us as a table. We waited for 15 minutes in the entry way before being greeted/seated. Server never checked on us for food/drink refills.

We dined for lunch before the theatre. We had a very nice meal. Enjoyed the food, had an excellent waiter and it was so nice to sit inside and watch the snow.

Terri

Service was on point. Great location for a pre show dinner. Food was just a little over salted but I would definitely come back. Recommended.

Leslie

Service was shockingly bad. It took more than an hour for a 1/2 bottle of wine to arrive. Took 2 managers. Excuses but no apology! Greek salad was small, over drenched with dressing and lettuce was limp/ild. Super disappointing evening.
