One in our party of four needed to have only gluten free food. Legal is very good at offering not only GF selections but making sure there is no cross contamination in the kitchen and the wait staff is knowledgeable on this subject. We enjoyed the octopus, cod and a cheeseburger - alll were very good.

So terrible we left. Service is slow even though everyone around us has their food and there were open tables. Our server claims he was too busy to come to our table sooner. Spindly go back.

Simple questions? Why have bread plates on the table if you're not going to bring bread? How can a seafood restaurant be out of lobsters to steam? Inquiring minds want to know.

Service was slow and kitchen/server messed up the pacing of our orders. Everyone was nice and apologetic about it, though.

Placed wrong order on Main entre and had to wait 20 mins while the rest of the table eat their meal. Clearly an error on the waiter.
