Prices remain high, and food is unremarkable. I guess they stick to their formula and don't want to try anything new. Service is better than many places. They screwed up a couple things about our orders but took accountability for it and rectified it immediately. Still, $38 for little food and I could have made it myself (being a rather bad cook). Definitely will not return. For half the price I can get a better meal elsewhere.

Without a doubt the best tasting lunch we have ever had. Oysters were fresh and had an amazing savory flavor, while the sushi has a unique presentation. Haddock was cooked to perfection, but the real star of the show was the lobster mac and cheese.Instead of being placed in a bowl, it was put inside the body of the lobster, which gave it more flavor and more of a wow factor.The only negatives were that there was tape holding together the booth seat, which is not ideal when you are paying $200 for a meal. Also, it’s kind of sad there is no fish tank anymore. Other than those two things, it was a perfect dining experience.

I tried a daiquiri made with Ipswich whiskey. Mmm delish! Ordered the twin stuffed tails too. Yum!

Wanted steam clams and lobster when staying with my family and my god I found it! We love the older Greek lady as our server. Couldn't do enough. And when the bill came it was worth every penny.

Our wait person was fantastic! The linguini and clams was ok. The grilled cod and winter veggies (consisting mostly of undercooked carrots) were doused in oil. Now my stomach is complaining. I think the quality of their food has gone way down. The dining room was loud, but only because there was a large party seated in our area.

First bad experience in over 20 years. Ordered Blackened Salmon medium well with rice and fries. The plate that came was grilled salmon undercooked. Before sending it back I asked the waitress to examine and she agreed it was wrong. I asked for a new plate, what came back was the same piece of fish just grilled more, so dry it fell apart. The rice was half the portion of the first plate and cold. And the other side was asparagus instead of the fries. I sent it back a second time and the same piece of fish came back, same small portion of rice cold, and new fries very hot. So all they did the second third time was replace the asparagus with the fried. The manager came over on her own as the waitress reported it to her, and the manager agreed it was completely wrong. She offered a free appetizer which at that point I didn't want. She offered a free dessert to take home which I didn't want as I am pre-diabetic. She offered to discount the entree, but when the check came it was the full amount but with a 20% employee discount. Unbelievably bad all the way around. Left hungry and shocked as I never had a bad experience at any Legal location until this one. Will hope the management reads this and make the necessary changes in the kitchen. Shocked and disappointed. I'm willing to chalk it up to a bad experience and will go back to Legal again, but if this ever happens again in the future I will never go back. Busy Saturday night is no excuse, you can't strike out three times on the food, make meager offer of food substitute, and then discount in an insulting way.

Had a great seafood dinner while in town. Ordered a fried lobster roll and clam chowder to start. Both were perfect. Great flavor. Fresh.I had the seafood platter with broccoli. Lots of white fish, juicy shrimp, clam strips, and scallops. All delicious and fresh. Light batter.Cute interior with lots of seating. Friendly staff that are helpful.

We showed up with a reservation for a group of 6. They wanted us to squeeze in a circular booth maybe adequate for 4. When I went back to teh front to explain that we do not fit or will not sit uncomfortable, the host was uncooperative explaining they were reserved (untrue as they were empty and continued empty after we left). SO after I said that we will simply not eat there, we were sat on an appropriate size circular table. BUT, my experience started on the wrong note and ruined by an employee that was un-accomodating without reason. The food experience, I will not go over it because the evening started wrong and when one pays LS prices, one expects a complete positive experience. I WILL say that Sean was a fantastic waiter.

Delicious fresh seafood prepared in so many creative ways or just in a traditional manner. We've been eating at Legal's for decades. Framingham is a Great location that has become a favorite!

Food was fair. Steak was very undercooked and full of gristle. I expected a better cut cooked properly for that price. Shrimp was over cooked and rubbery. Broccoli and asparagus were both almost raw. Server was nice but inexperienced. Host staff was frazzled and unappreciative; very curt. Restrooms filthy and unstocked; plumbing broken. The quality at Legal continues to spiral downward. No longer even a mediocre chain.
For $119 we had 2 cups of chowder- 2 seafood casseroles and 2 lemonades. The menu looked like something from the 70s. The casserole wasn't on the menu we had to ask and the took mashed potatoes off the menu!!!!! Are you kidding??!! The casserole was $42 and half the size of we the original owners had. One scallop in the damn thing! For that price and no alcohol is ridiculous! Won't be back anytime soon! So disappointed!

Jeff, our server, was excellent. Very attentive and helpful with food suggestions. The Legal app offered a discount which made it even more enjoyable. Salmon for my wife - crispy fish sandwich for me!
