Nothing special. The lobster roll was fine. The oysters were tiny. Staff did their job but not particularly friendly. I've had much better at locally owned places for less money. I wouldn't go back.

Was in town for family event and I wanted Boston Clam Chowder. The chowder here did not disappoint. Super creamy and delicious. The wife wanted dessert so we got key lime pie and a lemon drop drink. Service was pleasant and attentive.

My first visit to Boston i came to this restaurant; the atmosphere was amazing. The food was super 👌 as I visit Boston for the 2time I planned to revisit again; as I did the online booking showed only few tables available "fully booked "type .... upon arrival for dinner place was pretty much empty. The welcoming was not so welcoming 😕.
The Waiter was nice and polite ; but the food 😫 the calamari were afwall ; the black cod was full of oil ; gave few bites but was impossible to eat ;the potatoes judge for yourself! Now the clams linguini was really tasty if wasn't for the amount of sauce in it ..I ate what I could from the top "dry part and few bites from the bottom sauce what later on made me really sick ..was all night with stomach pain 😢 . Tuna tartar and the shrimp cevice was good 👍 . And decided not have any desert as the desapointmtent was already enough. I wish I have read previous reviews before booking...most complaints are about how food declined ...

I’ve never had any complaints about Legal Sea Foods. I always have great experiences at their locations around Boston, the food and service are consistently excellent.
📍Came back for happy hours 4/15
The bartender (I wish I caught his name!) was amazing super welcoming and genuinely friendly. He was very attentive, and their happy hour menu is a win.

Legal Sea Foods is such a solid go-to in Boston, whether you’re stopping in for a full meal or just swinging by for happy hour. Classic, reliable, and always hits the spot.

Their lobster roll is hands down one of the best — loaded with fresh lobster, perfectly dressed, and simply delicious. The clam chowder is rich, ultra-creamy, and packed with clams in every bite (exactly how New England chowder should be).

Today I tried the haddock, and wow. The portion was huge — easily close to ¾ of a pound. Perfectly grilled with seasoned breadcrumbs on top, flavorful, tender, and cooked just right.

For dessert, I went with a lobster tail. Loved the overall experience — super flaky and crispy on the outside. The shell was a bit thicker than expected, but still had that signature crunch, with a creamy layer tucked between the outer shell and the filling.
