I've eaten at several different Legal Sea Foods in the mid-Atlantic area, but the food at this location (Prudential Center) seemed slightly fresher and tastier than the others I've eaten at. The lobster was fresh and tasty, and the service was excellent. A nice choice when you are staying in this area and want some decent seafood. more

I had been told to try Legal Seafood on my recent trip to Boston by a friend. We booked a table at the Coply centre restaurant The food was quiet nice but the waiter service was disgusting, he was rude and very unhelpful. The thing that got me was how when it was time to pay the bill he told... more

Visited the Long Wharf restaurant on Mar. 1/08 and disappointment pretty much sums up my experience. We were told that there would be a 20 min. wait, no problem have a drink at the bar … our pager they gave us went off, and we paid for our drinks but by the time we got to the hostess they had... more

I had dinner at the Legal Sea Foods restaurant in the Prudential Center in Boston on January 22, 2008. There were 16 of us in our party and we sat at one long table in a room set aside for large parties. There was one other large party in the room. I had very high expectations for this restaurant after... more

I thought highly of this place before yesterdays experience. This time, as many other times prior, I ordered half a dozen east cost oysters and half dozen PEI oysters among other things. Everything was going well until this one oyster that I just placed in my mouth. At first I thought the smell was a strong ocean smell, but quickly... more
