    Great food, service, staff and overall experience. We were a group of 6 including two 7 year olds and one has severe food allergies. The staff was excellent. They made us comfortable and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. This was also the weekend leading into Christmas so it could have been chaotic but was truly wonderful. Love Legal Seafood!

    A beautiful location, impeccable service (Shout out to the ever attentive, informed and unfailingly prompt, polite and engaging Luis! He also takes a great picture) The food was outstanding, from the opening oysters through Halibut, Steaks, Duck and finished by the Chocolate Souffle. A glorious wine list, a little intimidating, but lots of ready and willing guidance available if desired. This was a great place for a family holiday dinner. The only consideration is the dining room was a little loud, but that may just be my old ears. And the lighted Public Garden out the windows was a cherry on top!
