What People Are Saying About Legal Sea Foods

The Editor

Eric Grossman

Citysearch

The Scene – It took more than five decades for Legal Sea Foods to drop anchor in Harvard Square, finally landing in a high-profile space in the courtyard of the upscale Charles Hotel. Most nights find the handsome, nautically themed dining room filled to the gills with local workers and academics. While the crowded interior forces friendly, efficient waiters to shout to be heard above the din, the quiet patio offers a calmer environment. – – The Food – As at all other Legal locations, super-fresh seafood is the main draw. Locally caught clams and haddock share menu…

Consistently Fantastic

by pburke76

My wife and I eat at this location at least once a week. The fish is extremely fresh and well prepared and we have never had poor service. We also come to their brunch on Sundays. The lobster omlette is unbelievable. We recommend it to all of our family and friends for great seafood.

  • Pros: Intimate environment, fresh fish
  • Cons: Parking a little difficult
1 Star Rating: Poor

Avoid at all costs

by bstnbkdbean

How the hell does this restaurant rate four and a half stars? the food there was terrible, Me and my daughter ate there for lunch, the muscles were the worst I have ever had in my life, and the fish could not have been worse, lousy service, horrible food and the smell of old seafood was almost overwhelming

With just the two of us and one glass of wine with tip was over a hundred dollars, what a waste of money I will never go there again

  • Pros: parking
  • Cons: the food
2 Star Rating: Below Average

Awful...

by cambridgegirl

My husband and I paid for two pricey meals expecting to get quality....not only was our food served cold and tasteless, but both of us fell ill the next day. Not to mention we had a very smug waiter...I will never return to this establishment again!
