Jake was amazing and went above and beyond to ensure fantastic service. He had outstanding knowledge of the menu and was ready with recommendations when deciding between options. Next time you go to Legal, request Jake!

Service was great. Food was average at best. Except for lobster bisque which was great
Entree came out wrong at first but was corrected
Lobster Mac & cheese had minimal lobster but they try to fool you by serving in a lobster shell. That does not account for minimal lobster meat sold at Market price
Legal Seafood use to be a consistently great experience from food to service when a family owned business but since the sale it continues to decline
Too many other good seafood restaurants around to visit Legal again

Staff had too many tables to cover. Kitchen backed up and we waited far too long for dessert. Since we had paid the check, we took the key lime pie to go. We all agreed we would not get that dessert again.
Quality of entrees very good.

I have been going to Legal Seafoods for more than 40 years. This, by far was the worst food I have ever had at legal. I had the whole belly clams. totally overcooked...Clams should be delicately cooked. These had more crunch than the french fries. My partners grilled seabass also overcooked and a friends crab cakes had a little blackening to the tops. So disappointing. Service was adequate. We did not complain about the food to the waiter, we just paid and left. But Legal in Kendall, I will never be back! Epic fail!

The Dine out Boston LUNCH special on a Sunday was a bonus, well prepared. Only disappointment was the only one choice of dessert, no substitution of cheesecake and wold have preferred an option being lactose intolerant.
