★★★★☆ 4.0 Dominique White · Mar 2026

The atmosphere and location was great! Although I wasn't thrilled by the food, it was good. Food was reasonably priced. I came to celebrate my mom's birthday and she absolutely loved her crab cake and shrimp. My children, who are picky eaters, enjoyed their kids meal. The kids meals had a great selection of food and was only $10 per child. If I visit Boston again, I wouldn't mind returning. Thanks!

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.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Ghazi Bilbeisi · May 2024

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!
