Legal Sea Foods offers excellent food, including some of the best clam chowder and a wide range of gluten-free options, such as fish and chips made in a dedicated fryer. The knowledgeable and punctual staff, like Liza, provide wonderful service, even surprising guests with special treats on special occasions. The restaurant’s high standards are reflected in the consistently fresh fish, tasty potato wedges, and dishes like the lobster roll and tuna that remain favorites. Recent visits have shown that the restaurant continues to deliver great meals and friendly service, with staff members like Peter and Lisa offering expert guidance and efficient service. Some guests have noticed that attention to dietary options has shifted slightly since the restaurant's sale, and later in the evening, staff may become distracted with cleanup tasks, but the quality of the food and the welcoming atmosphere remain strong.
Recent reviews mention the food being very good and the service attentive, though some guests experienced delays in receiving drinks. The food is often described as amazing, with some dishes like the sole and Cioppino praised for their perfect preparation. Diners also enjoy the lively atmosphere when busy but appreciate the intimate setting when lightly attended. The bang bang cauliflower is highly recommended for its unique taste and sauce, and the lobster roll remains a popular choice. Parking can be challenging during busy times, with options including paid street parking, free parking in the lot, or the parking garage if under 3 hours. Overall, the experience combines excellent food and friendly service, making it a place worth returning to despite occasional minor inconveniences.
