   Excellent food I always take family and friends here when they visit. Great variety and comes out in a timely manner. They do update their menu from time to time, so some of my favorites, such as the whipped sweet potatoes, are no longer available, but they replace with new and exciting options. I haven’t had a thing here I didn’t like, ranging from the soups, to the entrees to the desserts. My go to is the salmon with Brussels sprouts and butternut squash, but I also love their fish tacos and clam chowder. Great place all around and a safe bet for those looking for some good, fresh Boston seafood!

   This Legal Seafoods location has become our go-to favorite whenever we're visiting Cambridge. Ended up going two nights in a row this week! The food and service are always outstanding so that's nothing new, but what has really impressed us is how attentive the wait staff and kitchen have been to some dietary allergies. Many thanks to Blake, Juliet, and Billy. Bravo for a job well done. We'll be back soon.

   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.
