Had a fantastic dining experience at Legal Sea Foods in Assembly Row, Somerville. We had a reservartion but showed up about 30 minutes early. It was nice that they were able to seat us early even though it was a busy Saturday evening. The ambiance is chic and inviting, perfect for a laid-back evening. We started with a classic shrimp cocktail. The shrimp were large and fresh, served with a tangy cocktail sauce with just the right kick.

When in rome they say... I need to get my fix since I don't come to Boston as much. This was the closest place that offered lobster roll. Boy that was a great choice. Can't go wrong with warm lobster roll and butter.
The waiter was amazing and both the service and the food were perfect !!
Keep it UP !!

Legal Sea Foods is a solid choice for an overall good experience. The quality is good, though prices are a little on the high side. It feels touristy, but not a tourist trap. The food is generally excellent, with specific meals like salmon cooked just right, a really great seafood paella, crab cakes, Shrimp Cevechi, Thai chicken lettuce wraps, oysters, little neck clams, lobster bisque, and the lobster roll combo. For dessert, bon bons come in vanilla, chocolate, coffee, or strawberry flavors. The complimentary rolls are the most memorable food. However, the taste can be just average, and food service is sometimes quite slow. The amount of food is pretty good for the price. The waitstaff is attentive, polite, and professional, handling large parties perfectly. One server even remembered guests from a previous visit and managed substitutions with patience. The Somerville venue at Assembly Row is less hectic than downtown locations and easier for a table of 7. Happy hour specials include $1 oysters and .50 cent little necks, with appetizer deals like three for $25 or six for $45. In 40 years of dining, the quality of the food has never been disappointing.
