When you travel to the coast you hope to eat a great seafood dinner. This place was a joke! We ordered wine and our apppetizer and were asked not once, but four times to please place our order, long before the appetizer ever arrived. To be honest, we were waiting to see and taste the appetizer because the place reaked of the smell of FRIED fish and I was worried about the quality. Our waitress finally got rude and told us to place our order just as the appetizer was placed on the table. My husband ordered surf and turf. Yes, I know it isn't wise to order steak in a seafood place, but get real! What they called filet mignon was a chopped steak at best! I had crab legs (mostly because I was so offended at being severely rushed and I knew they would take forever to eat.) Very Dry! Hey, Legal Sea Foods. Don't claim something you cannot deliver! It just makes you look stupid! Pros: Average Cons: Bad Service, Barely Average Food

My friends and I each had a bowl of the New England Clam chowder and it was a major disappointment. One of my friends didn't even finish their bowl. The chowder had no flavor and it was watered down. I have had better clam chowder out of a can. The service was good, but I will try never try this restaurant again. Pros: Service was good Cons: The clam chowder was horrible

Ive eaten at most of the locations. The quality of the food is always consistent and the clam chowder is amazing. For lunch, try the spicy fish and chips. Its not too bad so dont worry. I took my friend here when he came to visit me from San Diego. He loved it. Had the baked scrod. If youre visiting here for the first time, you have to come here at least once. My favorite locations are the one on the waterfront near the Aquarium and the one near Park Plaza.

Appetizers were ok, ordered a $95 bottle of wine and had to ask 3 times for wine cooler. Finally got it. Ordered lobsters, husband's was cooked ok, but he said dry, not like when in Maine. Mine, was undercooked and I didn't realize it till I ate a few bites. Sent it back, and came back still undercooked. Was told I had to wait 8 - 12 hours if I'd be sick. Yes, they didn't charge, but who cares about the money, I wasn't looking for free food, I was looking to eat a nice dinner. Instead I spent the night worrying if I'd be sick. Thankfully I wasn't but the point is it should never have happened from a place that says it has high quality control standards. Pros: if you are in the area, it's convenient Cons: food is not great, can get better, undercooked food

I went to Legal Seafood for the first time on a visit to Boston. My idea was to have some good fresh seafood near my hotel. The result was devastating. We ordered oysters and clams as appetizers and tuna and trout as main courses. To drink we had a nice Napa Sparkling Wine. The meal came down to this. We first received the main courses, then the oysters, and at last, when we were almost finish we had the wine... Then we get to pay at the table. Not only we had to input the tip but we even had to slide the credit card. Talk about fast food.... this is just to much. I wont go again even though the food was ok. Kumamoto oysters and raw tuna... how can you go wrong?

I've been to other Legal Seafoods restaurants and they've been better. It looks like someone doesn't pay attention to the details here. Reservations are sometimes not met- you end up waiting for a table the same way if you hadn't called in adavance. People will be waiting and there will be plenty of empty tables but no waiters.. Many more things just like this. Also a general Legal Seafoods thing. I know these are supposed to be good seafood restaurants but I haven't found the food to be better than anywhere else. I've had lobster bakes here.. and they're so over priced and really not that good. Nothing really stands out. If you want good seafood don't go to a chain liek this Pros: Good Location Cons: Service/Food

When I lived in Boston, I tried Legal Seafoods a number of times and each time it got worse. The clam chowder is tasteless and the steamers were something to laugh at. The prices are way too high for what they give you and the quality is just unacceptable. The service is less than great and the wait (even with a reservation) is just ridiculous. This place is a total tourist trap and I've stopped going.
