Everything is always PERFECT! Service, cocktails, food...but PLEASE put the mashed sweet potatoes back on the Menu!!
Really nice, lovely food and waiter, service was a little slow but that was ok. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back.
The meal was outstanding! The service was excellent too and I appreciate the overall experience. The one call out I have is the decor needs to remodeled or touched up. The ladies bathroom is sticky and it clean feeling. There are hand written signs on the soap dispensers saying they are full and keep trying. The floors are worn and sticky too. The staff and manager can old do so much to overcome what clearly needs attention that's not in their perview.

Legal Sea Foods in Short Hills continues to offer a good seafood experience with popular items like clam chowder, lunch combos, and a burrata salad that has received positive feedback. The seafood and salads are known for their consistent quality, and the restaurant features 9 oz wine glasses, including a good Albarino wine. The atmosphere is pleasant, with attentive servers who ensure that customers are well taken care of and their food is prepared as requested. Main dishes such as haddock dinner and Chilean sea bass are well-liked for their flavor and presentation. Recent visits highlight the excellent Tuesday $1 oyster night, where two dozen oysters were described as excellent, and drinks—both alcoholic and non-alcoholic—were enjoyed. Customers appreciate the patience and care from servers. Some dishes like Fried Calamari and Clams with Linguini received mixed reviews, with comments about saltiness or needing more cooking time. While some menu items like Lobster Bisque and Fried Clam Strips are no longer available, the overall experience remains positive, and Legal Sea Foods is seen as a reliable spot for delicious seafood and friendly service. There is a call for more vegetarian and vegan options to cater to diverse diets, and many hope for the restaurant to regain some of its culinary mojo, especially with new competition in the area.
