    Waitress was a joy to converse with. She helped with selections and explained each entree we inquired about! Her suggestions were spot on. This was our first time to Boston. I use OpenTable to choose restaurants that will impress my guests. Legal Sea Food did just that! Look forward to returning on our next adventure to Boston.

    Service was excellent! My first time and greatly appreciated the servers suggestions on what to order. Lobster roll was perfect - cold/mayo was an amazing flavor combo over the warm butter version. View was beautiful-even in January- but if you are sitting next to the window in the winter it will be chilly.
