   It was a great birthday meal in Boston. Our waitress was amazing 👏 and the food was fantastic as it always is at legal seafood. It was snowing while we were there so it added to the atmosphere of being in Boston around Christmas.

   Legal seafood al jaren een begrip in Boston; heerlijke klassiekers zoals Lobster bisque, crabcakes, Lobster rolls, maar ook voor visgerechten met een Japanse twist zoals bv Tonijn Tataki. Goede selectie wijnen om het geheel af te naken en attente bediening.

   We had a 2:45 appointment for 6. We arrived early and it was apparent that the only table to hold 6 was full. The table cleared out about 2:35 and sat empty for 15 minutes. The hostess saw it was available but just went about their business. Finally a busser happened by and cleaned up. 3 pm we were seated. I know it's only 15 minutes but it didn't need to be like that. Our server was efficient enough but the food was spotty. Oysters full of shell, overcooked shrimp, oily mashed potatoes and cold items on many plates. We are regulars at all the Legal's but this one needs some help. May choose to not go back.

   We had a very good experience- the hostess was very accommodating and found a table for us earlier than our reserved time. We love this restaurant in general and food was never disappointing. Trout and shrimp dishes were delicious, and oysters were fresh . Our waitress was very nice and good at her job!

   It seemed busy, but food came promptly and our server did great. The food was very good. They have unique flavor of sides. I really liked pad thai style quinoa and sesame & soy roasted broccoli. We went before seeing the Nutcracker. I was a little worried about time, but everything was smooth, we even had a time to enjoy a dessert.

   Our bottles right across from Legal Seafoods so I had to have the lobster twice on two different days during our Boston excursions. I was very impressed with the quality and the service. We enjoyed all! Thank you, LaDonna Dixon

   I arrived 6 minutes early for my reservation. I tried to enter, but the door was locked. There were three people just inside chatting. It was quite cold. Three other diners joined me in looking in, one employee arrived and was let in and the door locked up again. It seemed a little mean. My husband asked for mustard as an accompaniment to his tuna burger and was told that they don’t have mustard or ranch because it isn’t necessary. A trained server might have apologized and offered an aioli or other accompaniment. It seemed silly. My mug of hot water arrived 5 minutes before he found a teabag to go inside it. It was all an unpleasant distraction.
