From the moment we walked in, we were seated within seconds, which was a lovely start to our visit. We began with two cups of clam chowder, and I must say, it was absolutely wonderful. For our main course, we ordered the baked lobsters and haddock, Anna’s way, and everything was extremely delicious and prepared just right. I especially appreciated the nice selection of sides offered with the lobster—our favorites were the coleslaw and the whipped potatoes.
Our server, Isabella, was phenomenal. She was friendly, patient, attentive, and very knowledgeable. Good customer service is becoming quite rare these days, and she truly made us feel well taken care of. While the food took a little longer to arrive, the restaurant was quite busy, and it was well worth the wait. This location is noticeably cleaner than some of the others we’ve visited. We were very pleased with our experience and will most definitely be returning.

Not my first time here, and will be back.
Apps were very good and the meals were abundant!
We had a business dinner and everyone ordered a meal. However I split the Fishermans platter a plate of fried everything!
This was a huge portion and could have shared it with 2 others.
The Buffalo cauliflower and the New england style calamari were very good.
And I enjoyed the New England Clam Chowder.
Great service in a busy restaurant. This place is on the second floor, with a nice faux balcony.

The waitress Amber was awesome as well as the manager (didn’t get his name)!
Ordered Sea-Cone Lobster Butter 3 tiers and the Fisherman’s Platter unfortunately it came burnt and over cooked 🙁 the manager saw and fully understood! He gave me a guest comp= refund.
My daughter enjoyed her Lobster Mac and her Shrimp Scampi (had to add salt/pepper because it was very bland). Overall the chef could’ve/should’ve done better~ IMO!!!
Our drinks (Patron silver margarita and Long Island) was superb though~ how could it have gone wrong lol…
Happy Holidays and New Year!!!

We had a nice dinner at Legal Sea Foods in Chestnut Hill. The Tuna Tataki with seaweed salad was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The sushi was also good. The only disappointment was the macaroni and cheese that we ordered for the kids. It looked a bit old and reheated. Our waitress, Katherine, was very attentive, patient, and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a pleasant dining experience with great service.

Great service, great for large parties. The waiter was very kind and accommodating. The food was well tasting overall, good feedback overall from those in my party! The lobster was delicious along with the shrimp cocktail and calamari. My steak was over cooked, but wasn’t chewy or burnt. Overall a great experience and our party left with smiles!

Nice space with lots of natural light- extensive menu offerings. Our group of 7 was served and finished our apps before getting our drinks. Then sat there with apps finished for about 10 minutes before having our order for entrees taken. Slow service but good food. The lobster roll was delicious with lemon mayo and contained EIGHT ounces of lobster- hefty serving for sure.

Had an amazing night at Legal Sea Foods, and Luke was truly the highlight. He was kind, attentive, and made everything feel effortless and fun. Dinner was perfect, and he even made sure my ice cream sundae with extra strawberries was exactly right — which honestly sealed the deal for me. It’s the little details like that that make such a difference. Incredible service, great energy, and an experience I’ll definitely be back for. The food was great, but Luke? Next level. If you get him as your server, you’re winning!!!!!

Good Food, But Watch Your Plate (Literally)
The oysters were fresh and tasty, and the terrace offered a peaceful, enjoyable atmosphere — definitely the highlight of the visit. However, I was really put off when I found a hair in my clams and linguini. It’s one of those things that instantly kills your appetite. While the staff did replace the dish, I was surprised and honestly disappointed that they still charged me for it. In most restaurants, this would be considered a basic hospitality issue and comped without question. It left a bad taste in what could’ve been a great experience. A calm setting and good oysters, but the handling of the situation made me feel like the customer experience wasn’t a priority.

Such a great Legal Seafood Location! We walked in and they were able to sit us pretty quickly. The food was great. We got haddock, Annas way which was very well prepared and for desert we got bon bons with ice cream Sunday. Bon Bons were my favorite! Our server , Bella (if I am not mistaken) was amazing. She created a great atmosphere, was very patient with us and all of her recommendations were great. The whole experience was very positive. I can not recommend this location enough.

I just went to Legal Sea Foods and had the best server ever Luke. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely made our whole experience. From start to finish he was amazing — friendly, professional, and on top of everything without being overbearing. The food was great, but his service truly stood out and made the night. Seriously outstanding — give this man his flowers
