    We were here for dinner on the day before Valentine’s day. There was a small group of diners at the restaurant which we appreciated as it was not busy and the noise level was low. We shared a caesar salad and complimentary bread rolls which were warm. He had the haddock classic entree while I had the crab and shrimp classic. Dessert was molten chocolate cake with ice cream. Our server Jess Knight did a fantastic job - was appropriately attentive and answered all my questions about the menu! This felt like a special romantic experience and I am looking forward to returning!!!

    It seems some things have changed with legals food and not for the best. We stopped in for a late lunch and ordered chowder with the fish sandwich/fries and starter size crab cake. While the chowder was good I believe there were more potatoes than I recall previously. The fries were the worst we have ever had. While they are large they are hollow, no potato inside. I would like to gently suggest that the chefs taste the fries. The fish sandwich itself was delicious. The service was great as usual

    Our waiter was exceptional - attentive, funny, engaging, and had a great sense for being there when you needed him - and the food was good quality and portions. Only disappointment was they were out of the lunch special we both wanted!

    One thing we love about Legsl Seafood is that it’s always consistent between restaurant’s. The chowder is excellent, the swordfish is so fresh and being able to choose side dishes now is very appealing.

    We chose a booth thinking it would be a lower noise level, it was not. But everything else was awesome …. Especially our waitress!

    I enjoyed the Seabass with brussels sprouts and jasmine rice having the clam chowder as a starter. All were very good. The Seabass was a nice thick slice and it was done perfectly. Moist yet evenly cooked through. It paired nicely with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc.
