11 Best Seafood Restaurants in Somerville

“Took my wife for her birthday, along with our daughter. Having been to Peru before and really enjoyed the flavors, we were excited to try this out. And the food certainly didn't disappoint. All of the dishes were very flavorful, including both the mango shrimp ceviche AND the vegetarian ceviche (which was something we didn't get in Peru!). The Causa reminded us of our time in Peru, and both the Peruvian Chinese eggplant and the cilantro lamb stew were very good. The former was a bit milder than we expected, but still delicious, while the latter was superbly seasoned with lamb that melts in your mouth. On the drinks side, we had a passionfruit sour, and the Chica sour and both were delicious. The dessert was their fruit mousse which was also excellent. We were seated outside as it was a nice summer's day, so I can't vouch for the interior. The service was good, though it did seem that one of the waiters wasn't particularly thrilled (either about serving us, or in general). The one who took our orders though, was polite and detailed and pointed out the vegetarian options for my wife and daughter. Keep in mind that this is NOT an inexpensive place. The items range from $17 for an appetizer to the high 30's for the main courses. But for someone craving for something different or just very flavorful food in general, this would be a great choice. I can see why this shows up on many of the lists for best new spots in the city. Highly recommended!“

“Awesome food!! Awesome people! ❤️❤️“

“Not sure if the opinion of a very pasty Mainer counts for much;but the tacos and guacamole were the best we have ever had! Food was great and the service was phenomenal! We had the sweetest waitress! Will be back as soon as possible! ❤️❤️“

“Food and service are impeccable...pumpkin balls, aloo tikki, idli in a spicy broth, lamb with squash and a spicy beef with potatoes, all perfect...“

“The service was great and the food was delicious. I went in and got some take out. Once the food was brought out I asked if I could eat a little bit at a table. My server allowed me to and brought me some water and side dishes. I got the jjambbong seafood noodles. I was assuming it would have a strong seafood taste but to my surprise it was a very mellow lime’ish taste. The broth was delicious and the noodles were a perfect blend of springy and chewy and held onto the broth great. It is a bit pricey but so are most restaurants. If your ever in the area I absolutely recommend buk kyung“

“First time there and was so happy with every part of our evening. From when we walked in the door to when we left. The staff are so friendly and the food was terrific. Can't wait to go back. Shout out to our server, Kendall, for the great experience.“

“This local place has delicious food, and has been serving it up for years. it's my go-to for their barbecue chicken (char grilled with a delicious garlicy sauce - not your usual American style barbeque!), and their beans are excellent.“

“Excellent! Pad Thai with Crispy Chicken“

“I had my birthday dinner at Legal Seafood, Assembly Row Saturday night September 12th. The atmosphere was great. It was busy due to an event happening in Assembly Square, but my waitress and the Manager on that night at Legal Seafood provided SUPERB service. We had to move our table due to a little accident and the manager and waitress were soo kind and professional throughout the entire process!
Thank You So much Legal Seafood.
