    I enjoy the lunch lobster roll special. This time however they would not substitute corn for French fries without trying to charge me for the full cost of the vegetable. I think the portion size was smaller than it used to be. Over all the food is good and we have lunch here every time we visit Boston

    The hostess told us, at 12 :30 pm, there were no larger tables available. We ended up placing a few of our dishes on the floor. When I went to the rest room, it was obvious there were many larger empty tables interspersed with patrons. I would neither go back, nor ecommend this poor level of service to any of my friends.

    Varied menu, 9 people but all food served together and all hot. Everyone appreciated the food from steak and lobster to clams and swordfish. Our server was good enough to rate spectacular. For value and enjoyment, best dining experience we had in vicinity of Copley Place in 4 evenings.

    Legal Sea Food has been a favorite since we first visited the early incarnation in Cambridge, MA back in the early 1980s. Brown paper table covers are long gone. Quality of the food is still excellent. Our server was a gem. And the crabcake combo is superb.
