   It’s such a larger restaurant that it has become the poster child for bigger isn’t always better. Food is still generally good but it’s not the best experience anymore. Although I do have to say the bar crowd seemed to be having fun so if that’s your jam then go for it!

   Our experience was a bit annoying when we arrived with a reservation and yet there was a wait. Then we asked for a booth, which was available and yet it wasn’t offered to us and when we asked about it we were told it was reserved by others. Other than that, the food was good. Thanks

   The entire staff provided excellent service! We had lunch and brought a birthday cake, which the staff handled with expertise. The lunch time staff was fully ON.

   Legal is our favorite standby restaurant. Disappointed that we couldn't get fish and chips (the fryolator was broken) but we did enjoy the sole. Excellent.
