I have been to the Surf many times and have never been disappointed. The food is fresh and delicious. The waitstaff, courteous and attentive. I highly recommend a trip there, especially for a special occasion. Can be a bit pricey but to get good fish anywhere is a bit pricey. This place is worth it.

Grilled salmon was fresh and delicious- curried veggies, and street corn were also tasty. We liked the thick cod loins as well - and whipped potatoes were perfect. A fellow who brought us the food carefully described what he was bringing us, and gave the right food to the right person who ordered it. Our waitress was attentive and very efficient. We always have a good experience at Legal. We'll be back soon!
