    My friend had scallops, mashed potatoes and a side salad and really enjoyed her meal. I had a lobster tail and a California roll. They have many GF items on their menu and are very accommodating and careful around dietary restrictions. The service was so fantastic. Omar was our server. Thank you, Legal!

    Excellent food! Excellent service! Maria was our waitress and she was fantastic. Not only gave us great recommendations on what to order, but was super sweet to our daughter, and even gave us general recommendations for Boston. The ambience was also nice. It was a little loud but not in a bad way. There was good music playing, people laughing and enjoying their time out together, just fun overall. Would definitely go back!

    This is my second special= lobster last month and oysters this month. I made a reservation which was readily found when I checked in. When my friend arrived a later, the res could not be found. He had to wander the restaurant to find me. The raw oysters were superb! Wonderful warm rolls. The oysters Rockefeller were cooked to death - almost sent them back the service was not good - I had to ask THREE times for another carafe of Albarino. (delish!) The bartender, our waiter, finally stated he needed to get another bottle from the wine cellar. That should have been rectified during start of his shift inventory. Or he should have asked a manager for assistance as he was busy.

    We had a big multi lingual group and our serving staff were so very patient with us. The food was exceptional. Boston lobster is officially by our group opinion better than French lobster!!

    Service was horrible. We had at least 3 service people and had to ask for everything, including dessert and the bill. One of the 3 ice cream bonbons was cracked and partially thawed; they tasted awful besides. The noise - we could barely hear each other and the TVs in every line of sight were terribly distracting. Fish & chips - fish was overcooked and fries tasteless. Sushi - I've never had worse. If you can't hire someone who knows how to make it - take it off your menu. We are locals - Legal is off our list.

    Food was delicious but our server seemed bothered to have to wait on us. She walked away before getting our full order and when we questioned her about one entree not being delivered she stated we were indecisive. We had asked how many scallops were in the dish.
    Legal Sea Foods - Park SquareResponded on 27 September 2024
    Greetings Renee, Thank you for taking the time to review Legal Park Square. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our food, but we're sorry to hear about your service experience. It's certainly not the standard we aim for. We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we're glad to hear that you enjoyed the scallops. It varies the number of scallops on the dish, because it is by weight. I would have hoped that the server would have explained that. Your feedback is important to us and we'll definitely use it to improve our service. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future and provide a better experience. Best, The Management Team

    I have been to Legal Seafoods before and returned when in Boston again because the food is great and the value is unparalleled. We were at the Park Square location, it looks new and fresh. We had the mussels is a very flavorful wine, butter and lemon broth. Also a hefty plate of calamari. We each had a “small” lobster which was about 1.5 pounds at only $54 each!! It was fabulous! For our sides we chose the corn off the cob elote style and Cole slaw. Best value in town! Go!
