   We were there for a late lunch and was seated with a great river view. Service was quick and friendly. The food was outstanding. Will return for a dinner time experience the next in Chicago.

   I’m glad this iconic restaurant has opened n Chicago. Rey nice room and awesome menu. The oysters were fresh and delicious and the crab cake appetizer with a little greens was jumbo lump and delicious al with small. The lobsters rolls and fries were plentiful and we had them warm instead. The scallops entree was disappointing. I expected 4-5 large sea scallops and got five very small ones. They tasted good but not what I expected from a high end seafood restaurant.

   The food was good but the atmosphere was more casual than what I remember from eating at the one in Boston.

   My wife and I had dinner Legal Sea Foods last night, some 50+ years after we dined frequently at the original Legal Sea Foods in Cambridge, Mass. as graduate students at MIT in the early 70s. The sea food we were served last evening was quite delicious. I had the cioppino, which was overflowing with shrimp, mussels, clams, lobster, and whitefish. My wife had the linguini and clams, which was also delicious. We will return.

   The food and service was excellent. The only sad thing was people come to Legal Sea Food for Lobster and Whole Belly Clams, they do not have Whole Belly Clams on the menu in Chicago, very disappointing. Honestly, even though the whole experience was excellent? I probably would not go back until they stay true to the menu they offer at all the rest Legal Sea Foods.

   Very disappointed in the salad with the shrimp. Shrimp wasn’t very jumbo. Same with the regular fried shrimp. There should have been carrots , celery, peppers, cucumbers , in the salad. Service was very good. Also, they should have shrimp Dijon or shrimp scampi on the menu.
