Legal Sea Foods - Chestnut Hill

Poor service, no silverware, no water , hard inedible rolls that were supposed to be removed and replaced by waiter was never done, waiter did not check on our meals or clear table. Meals not delivered together, cold fish and tasteless jasmine rice. The Dedham location is 5 star so it was a surprise to be so disappointed with chestnut Hill.

It's been a while since we tried Legal Sea Foods - Chestnut Hill, one of our neighbors. We love the high ceiling with glass walls. It feels like being on the beach. Rainbow trout and lobster tail were fresh as always and onion strings were crispy. The best part was a tall glass of 23oz draft beer!

Outdoor patio with pond view, had dinner at sunset

The hostess was beyond rude and unwelcoming, I asked her for a high chair, she might as well would have thrown it at me, set a really off mood start to dinner. Server was great, oysters were delicious and the lobster bisque. My husbands streak came well done when ordered medium rare, the refute was a wrong steak....

The meal was good overall but unfortunately at night I experienced stomach issues that went into the next day. Memorable for a birthday lunch for sure.

The restaurant has an awesome deck terrace which is very popular. It was Friday night and understandably busy but we had a birthday party which we mentioned in our reservation but the staff made absolutely no mention of... the staff seemed a bit maxed out but place is great good good and awesome company.

Very good experience at LSF Chestnut Hill. We were seated promptly at our reserved time. Shrimp cocktail was superb as was the lobster roll. Sam's service was outstanding.

Upscale seafood restaurant with great seafood. Varied menu that every seafood lover can find something. Burger options for non seafood eaters in your family. We were very happy with the quality of the food and the service. Everything on the menu looked great. I even sampled some calamari which I am very picky about and really liked there's. Several fish options and the two I tasted were prepared well. This is a place I will consider going to again when I am in the area.

This restaurant still has not recovered fully from the pandemic and change of ownership. Menu has shrunk: many fewer fish options. Prices have soared. The swordfish was overcooked and tasteless. The rolls that once were always fresh and tasty were stale and not tasty. Only the clam chowder was still excellent. Our waitress was wonderful: pleasant, competent, helpful. The setting was wonderful. But the food and prices: more work needed.

The best cosmos in chestnut hill. Service was great, ask for Brandon. Also, get the crab cake. So good.

Love the atmosphere and food.

Don't come within an hour of closing - they start closing down at 9:30 pm and that means .... Poor service and poor food quality.

All aspects were fine. Friendly, efficient, staff. Food was great and consistent as it always has been. But, I miss the Lite clam chowder.

The cocktails and appetizers were excellent. Competent and very pleasant service. Main courses were fine but a little skimpy. Please offer more dairy free desserts!

Wholesome and full of flavor. This location checks all the boxes.
