Andrew Burgess

They have a great allergy menu for the gluten sensitive folk like myself. On top of that, they've got great fresh food and great service. Can't ask for more than that!

The lobster bisque , clam chowder , lemon caper sole, and Boston baked scrod are my favorites. All are absolutely delicious!

????Coco

Watch out for small bones in the Lemon Caper Sole! I love Legals food but I have found small bones in the sole twice recently. I wouldn't recommend ordering it until this issue is resolved!

This location of the historic restaurant franchise is beautifully designed. Wide open seating arrangements which includes terrace dining. Portions are hefty. Wait staff is terrific.

the regulars sit at the bar . freshest fish you'll find on the east coast - all comes from day boats. great sangria , seafood antipasti , cod with capers , and best chowder ever.

Terence Chan

Good seafood chain. Thai calamari was delicious 4/5

????Coco

Avoid the Alaskan Salmon Special as it tastes way too fishy to be actual fresh Alaskan Salmon . On the upside, the staff was very nice about this incident and promised to look into the issue.

????Coco

Try starting with the Tuna Sashimi , it's so good!!

Expect to spend a lot of $$. However, the quality is great! $39 for a half pound lobster roll at current market pricing.

Sam Higgins

Excellent place for seafood near Hammond pond .

Garrett Van Siclen

Market downstairs is what it use to be, suspect the same is true for the restaurant

Yoav Barshad

They have moved to a new structure that seem to have cost a lot so we decided to try again. Horrible food good drinks and rude staff by far the worst seafood restaurant I’ve been to in recent memory!

John Caramucci

I’ve been to so many seafood places but this was by far my worst experience. I absolutely can’t stand this place. Food was terrible and my fish was undercooked. Manager and staff were rude

Cecilia Waikoko-Whipple

Highly DISAPPOINTED. Flounder stuffed with crab meat was raw! I accidentally ate some raw fish (gelatinous texture). Mgr did not compensate for a RUINED dining experience. No dinner for me! :(

Geoff Bernstein

The tuna burgers is incredible

Abdulmalek Al-Eisa

The most delicious bread I have ever ate

Annaliza aka Elle Ecrit

$1 Oysters Mondays - Thursdays, 3-6 p.m. at the bar .

Hercus Bowood

Chee is a great barman!

Bruce Shaw

The fish chowder is justifiably famous and it is outstanding.

David Sabillon

Clam chowder is the best

Jeremy Moskowitz

Definitely get the tuna burger for lunch . It's the best!!

Sarah Fay

Sit at the bar for fast service . Chowder is the real thing

Morgan Howell

Best fish market in Boston

Wayne Shreffler

Talk to Jay for great advice about boston area great dates

Julie Beebe

Two words: Lobster Bisque

Rafael Rojo

El clam chowder es un clásico . Los camarones con ajo son muy buenos pero es una porción grande. Las almejas fritas también están buenas.

This was a great messy experience. I wanna go back very soon. The Cajun option is spicy enough; I don't understand how one would add more spicy levels. Great place and drove far to get there. - Ben-Oni Jean-Pierre
