    Food was disappointing compared to other Legat’s. Service was extremely slow and took over an hour for food to arrive Couldn’t get drink re-order 1 meal came out after the other 4 of us had finished as it was forgotten to be delivered. Very disappointing and would say not worth going too go to Somerville or Lynnfield if you want legal outside of Boston Very disappointing

    Legals has been a favorite of mine for over 30 years, and I have to say this is the first time I left there disappointed. The first thing I noticed when I walked in to this location was the noise level. Legals has never been a cozy, intimate place, but this place was loud. It would be fine for a girls night out, but not great for a night out with my husband, I ordered my favorite shrimp and as always it was cooked well. I was overall happy with my meal except for the giant pile of vegetables on my plate. The vegetables could have fed a family of four...just was not a balanced plate. My husband ordered the seared tuna (41.00) with pineapple salsa. He never leaves food on his plate, even if it's not a great meal. This night he only 1/2 of his dinner. The tuna was tasteless, even with the salsa. His plate was also piled high with vegetables, which he couldn't finish. We ended our meal with chocolate bon bons which were yummy as always.

    The food was great and fresh and the waitress was amazing. Loved the seafood tower for two for our app. Both the pan seared sole and the swordfish was cooked to perfection.

    Legal’s has yet to disappoint! This is over more years than I care to count! We had not been to the Burlington location since its renovation. They did a lovely job. The food was delicious. Always enjoy the warm rolls. Service was friendly and attentive.

    We frequently dine at this particular Legal because of the wonderful standard set by the manager, Reggie. He always honors our request for seating in our favorite area of the restaurant. Our server was perfectly attentive without being obtrusive. All four diners were delighted with our chosen meals: 3 lunch combos ( shrimp roll, crabmeat roll, chicken salad roll) and my usual yummy order of mussels. We celebrated two birthdays with special desserts. Already looking forward to our next visit in the very near future!

    loved the food the atmosphere and our waiter. Everything was yummy. The food was served properly and we were not rushed. The only hitch was there must’ve been somebody new in the kitchen because they brought out the wrong meal not once but twice. However, that did not even dim our experience because the food and atmosphere and weight it was just that good.

    We have been coming to this location regularly since the eighties. Tonight we went for our anniversary - the quality of the food and preparation was the worst we have ever experienced here. We ordered steamers as an appetizer and they came out smelling terrible - like smelly feet - even the waitress noticed and we had to send them back - the snell at the table lingered for a long time. I ordered the twin baked stuff lobster tails - they were not prepared well - in the past Legals has always consistently had the best baked stuff lobster anywhere on the planet - I was really looking forward to it but tonight these were not even close - the stuffing recipe appears to have been changed and it was a big letdown. Also we wanted to order scallops and the only scallops on the menu are deep fried - they are no longer offered pan seared or broiled so we ordered salmon instead and it was also not even close to being prepared at the level we expect at Legals. Feels like the new owners are messing with the menu selection, recipes and quality of the food - we are in no hurry to return any time soon.

    We made a reservation for our 45th wedding anniversary. The host said it’ll your and right? Our waitress came right away and we got it drinks right away. She then took our order at the time she gave us our drinks and we order soup and salad. She also took our entree order at that time. We got our soup and salad at the same time. We barely had our 2nd bite of salad and someone else brought us our entree. We didn’t have time to eat our salad or soup before the entree came We had our meal and our check was brought. No acknowledgment of our anniversary. We were in and out of the restaurant in 55 minutes! Felt rushed and the restaurant did not seem busy We have been going to Legals for a long time. Usually look forward to it

    We were a party of four and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. The vegetables were drenched in margarine or some other cooking oil, giving them an unappetizing oily sheen and an unpleasant taste. All the dishes were poorly prepared, with the sirloin tips being overcooked, tough, and rubbery. It's possible that a new chef or an inexperienced trainee was in charge of the kitchen. Having dined here before, we were surprised by the decline in quality. Overall, we do not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning.
