- JJakeGreater Boston •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoIt was a great birthday meal in Boston. Our waitress was amazing 👏 and the food was fantastic as it always is at legal seafood.

The steaks were very well done outstanding some might even say also the service was amazing and we constantly had our water filled up and topped off. They were constantly checking on us. The noise was very very low. It was almost a dull roar the lighting was spectacular. Bathrooms were clean. Food came out prompt Server was very personable. Caesar salad was perfect. The bread was a very nice touch. I felt the easily pulled apart. Bread was one of my favorite parts along with the 14 ounce. New York strip perfectly made medium as well. As the filet mignon and all the trimmings were fantastic as well.More infoBoston Chops - Downtown CrossingPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown Crossing•4.6
- HHeidiPhiladelphia County •6 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe were a group of 8, and it was a fun evening. We sat upstairs, which made our boisterous conversation easy to follow as we each sampled a variety of delicious dishes. The tuna tartar and the yuca fries as appetizers were a hit, as were the shorty mash and lamb chops for entrees. The meal was capped with crème brûlée. Leena was super friendly and attentive, and I look forward to a return visit!More infoEstellaPrice: Expensive• American• Beacon Hill•4.1
- DDebOrlando / Central Florida East •1 review5.0Dined on Dec 14, 2024An annual must for us each year prior to the Nutcracker performance. Staff is understanding (a bit late due to traffic), and accommodating to our needs. Service was spot on, not rushed, but aware that we were headed to the play. Food was delicious, and prices were reasonable. We will be back next year without a doubt!More infoBack DeckPrice: Moderate• American• Downtown Crossing•4.4
