   This was honestly probably the worst service I’ve had in as long as I can remember. It was like the place was half empty with more than enough staff but no one would wait on us. I had to go to the hostess stand after ten minutes to ask if someone was going to wait on us. Our waitress was nice but not great. Food was fine - just really overall a disappointing dining experience.

   Great food, service, staff and overall experience. We were a group of 6 including two 7 year olds and one has severe food allergies. The staff was excellent. They made us comfortable and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. This was also the weekend leading into Christmas so it could have been chaotic but was truly wonderful. Love Legal Seafood!

   Legal Seafoods has jumped the shark. For an entire generation, my wife and I have considered Legals - a venerable Boston institution - to be a gold-standard safe bet for a pleasant evening out with consistently good food. Sadly, those days are clearly over. A year ago, we took beloved family to the Legal Harborside outlet for a special holiday evening out, and were, frankly, mildly disappointed in the menu and several of our dishes, but we were willing to chalk it up to a bad night. Nope. Tonight we made reservations at the Park Square location, and were looking forward to a good meal and solid service for a quiet night out. We went 0 for 2. The service was borderline surly from the hostess to our young male server (one had the sense they're nice young people who simply haven't been trained in the basics of hospitality. Shame on you, Legal). And the food? Deeply mediocre. My wife ordered grilled salmon, with some specific instructions (rare, with crisped skin, something that she LEARNED to love at Legal)... It was rare, but not remotely crisp. To be fair, she said it was flavorful, if not exactly what she asked for. I went with the "angry" fish and chips. Angry? Hardly. Mildly vexed at best. Bland, slightly mushy flavorless white fish, with a thin, flavorless crust, on a bed of bland, slightly soggy fries. Really disappointing. It gives me no pleasure to write this, as we've enjoyed Legal dozens of times over the years, but we're officially done. You can find much better options all around Boston.

   Dear Andrew, Thank you for your detailed feedback. I want to express my deep apologies that your recent visits to Legal Sea Foods didn't meet the standards you’ve come to expect from us. We take pride in being a city staple, and it’s clear that we let you down—not just in the preparation of your dishes, but also in the level of service received.

We’re addressing your concerns with our team, as training and quality control are areas we can improve upon immediately. I hope we can find an opportunity to regain your trust. Please don’t hesitate to reach out directly if you’d consider giving us another chance Best, Brigitte B, GM LSF Park Square 617-982-0500

   We loved Martin, our server, and enjoyed celebrating his birthday with him. I wasn’t hungry. My friends ordered the trout and loved it, ordered the muscles and loved those, and also loved the tuna tartar. We had a great evening. Thank you so much!

   I had dinner at this restaurant, and overall, it was a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and I was served by a very polite waiter who made the experience even better. The service was incredibly fast, which I really appreciated. However, the place was a bit noisy, and I personally prefer quieter restaurants. But if you're looking for great food and quick service, this is a fantastic choice

    Food was very good except for one dish that came out lukewarm. Lots of inter staff chatter and not enough guest focus. Training of staff is needed.
