Since 1981, Legal’s clam chowder has been served at every presidential inauguration. The tender clams, fresh cream and secret herbs must be extraordinary indeed to unite our two rancorous parties.

Steamed Lobster 2 - 2.5lb, awesome. Baked cod was meh. Clam Chowder Soup; Order in bowl is more worthy than in cup. Chocolate Warm Cake Pudding for dessert, it's fantastic!

The wood plank broiled platter is a lot of food and tasty. Can't go wrong by going raw. Paper placemats give a Red Lobster feel to what sells itself as an upscale place.
Katy ThomasJuly 12, 2015
Lots of tourists in the area so consider trying one of their other locations. Great local oysters, chowder is super, can't go wrong with lobster roll...
Kyle OtaMay 11, 2018
Fresh seafood and huge variety of gluten free options. Gluten free fried calamari, clam chowder, and rolls were available.
Catia DaSilvaFebruary 5, 2015
Lobster, their services, salmon and Thai calamari are amazing.. Popcorn shrimp Uhmmm... Every time I go to Boston I eat at Legal nice

Incredible fresh lobster in my lobster roll. It almost seemed like a sin to have mayo, but then it would have been a sin without it, too.
Adam SchoalesAugust 7, 2014
The best clam chowder I've ever had. And at $7.50 it makes for the perfect cheap lunch. Be forewarned; the portions here are BIG!
Steve WattsJune 27, 2015
Soft shell crab and Stripped bass with chorizo and beans recommended....also one of the few restaurants that I found in Boston that serves Pinot Gris
Magda AgeelJune 25, 2018
The stuffed lobster and steamed mussels are GREAT 👌🏼
Orçun YalçınJune 9, 2016
Lobster is great however i could not eat properly 😜 You can go with the shrimp and garlic if you like pasta.
David BroomeSeptember 10, 2011
One of the best seafood restaurants in the country! Classic New England dishes like fried clams, & lobster rolls are a hit for good reason. Enjoy them at their best here at Legal Seafood.
Ryan StinerSeptember 2, 2016
Hot or chilled lobster rolls. Get both and enjoy the best lobster in Boston.
Nancy MargolisAugust 30, 2019
We enjoyed the food very much. The clam chowder was delicious, the rolls are always yummy. The seafood 🦞 tastes fresh and delicious.

The clam chowder has large chunks of clam in it. And the bread rolls come warm and with softened butter. 😋
ChanLing BeswickSeptember 7, 2015
Try the Grilled Assortment: scallops, shrimp, swordfish, salmon, tuna, and two sides. Awesome value, and great to share with 3-4 ppl
Giovanni FernandezSeptember 10, 2019

Try the Grilled Swordfish Steak - Cajun spiced, center cut swordfish, mashed potatoes, crispy onions. Amazing! Lived up to and exceeded all the recommendations!

Boston's most popular seafood restaurant, ironically located next to NE Aquarium. Their clam chowder has been served at every presidential inauguration since 1981. More info available via our blog. Read more

Been here 5+ times
The lobster roll is my go-to every time. The perfectly buttered roll tastes like a grilled cheese!
Michael PAugust 7, 2014
The standard in fresh and yummy. Get ready to plunk down some cash if you're into wine and oysters!
Katie EfthimiouMarch 25, 2014
Always have good food and good service here. And there's an amazing GF menu-I'm not used to having choices!
Stephen LuoDecember 21, 2011
Fantastic foods! try steam one and wood grilled lobster on the front page of menu. Park ur car at Marriott, it is cheaper and easier.

Moonstone oyster is the best hands down and the flight of patron is the best patron deal you are gonna get in any bar or restaurant
M BSeptember 30, 2012
The Baked Scrod was a bit dry but if you ask for a little lemon butter sauce and drizzle on it: delish!
Kimberly GudenkaufApril 14, 2013
