   Really enjoyed our dinner here! We’ve been wanting to try and our first visit included restaurant week specials. $45 for 3 course meal! Everything tasted great and good service too.

   Service was excellent, food was cooked well but still just ok. I would recommend for happy hour but not for dinner.

   Attended with a party of 4. Service was slow. Took over 20 mins to receive drinks (cocktails) and 45 mins to receive appetizers. Food was not served together, but rather as it came out from the kitchen, so we all ate separately. Poor experience overall.

   We decided to patronize our Va Beach Legal Seafood Restaurant because of "Chowder Day". We have been eating Legal Clam Chowder forever, and it is as good now as it was 20 years ago.

   Tuesdays are a slow night, granted. But a 630 reservation and subsequent dining "experience" should not be a problem on any night. It was. Sadly, I had a friend from out of town who wanted to go to Legal, so we went. I note that in 2023, I went for a birthday dinner and was furious at how bad the experience was - service pitiful, employee attitude poor, and food not even close in quality to the price point my lady paid for. This latest experience was identical. Never again, quoted the patron, never again. Did I mention that the bill was $221 before tip, or that fish was overcooked for 2 guests and undercooked for 1? Also, no manager apologies, no comps? Overall, once a 1-star, always a 1-star. Vote with your feet on this one!

    I went there with my family on first of January for lunch. The lady who greeted us was nice. Our server was OK but the food was terrible. The calamari was not crispy fried and was greasy same was the fish and chips. My kid ordered beef tenderloin, and the meat was really low quality, tasteless meat. I don’t know if it was because of first January and they had their main chef on leave that could be a reason, but my experience was terrible and I will never go back again.
