Legal Sea Foods - Chicago

Went for the famous lobster roll and it definitely lived up to the hype. We ordered it warm with the sauce on the side. The lobster pieces were huge and tasty but I did think there was WAY too much butter in the dish. We also tried the mussels which were good and the clam chowder which was also pretty good!

We came here on Valentine’s Day for our six-month anniversary and had booked our reservation online. A few nights before, I received three phone calls at 8:30 PM to confirm. I work early mornings and take sleep medication, and the repeated late calls actually woke me up. Typically confirmations are handled through automated texts, so it felt intrusive and unnecessary. When I called back, the manager apologized and explained their system doesn’t allow text confirmations, which I understand, but calling multiple times that late still felt inappropriate. He acknowledged our anniversary and specifically said he would be there to greet us when we arrived and that he would “take care of us.” We never saw a manager. Instead, we were seated in the back near the kitchen. It wasn’t terrible, but aft

My partner and I came here on our visit from Houston, TX and absolutely loved it! I have been celiac for 18 years and was very excited to be able to eat safely! It was the first time I’ve been able to safely order gluten free calamari and it’s an experience I’ll never forget. I also loved my fish and chips and my boyfriend loved his crispy chicken sandwich. Valenciaga was a wonderful server with great recommendations and catered to our needs very well. Next time we’re here, we will definitely be coming back!

We were looking for a nice place for some seafood around the Riverwalk area & we picked a good one. Everything we ordered was amazing—the apps, the mains, and the desserts. The atmosphere is as good as you could ask for, overlooking the river. Service was excellent as well; very attentive staff. Valenciaga took great care of us, and Manager Chris has this place going places—it was a beautiful and busy Saturday evening & he still took the time to make sure we were having a pleasant dining experience. We highly recommend!

We started with sushi and spicy cucumber margaritas (so refreshing 🌶️🍹). For entrées, I had the lobster roll … buttery, fresh, and absolutely hit the spot 🦞 while my friend went with the shrimp & crab cake combo, which was packed with flavor. We ended the night with cheesecake (because dessert is non-negotiable 🤍). The views of Lake Michigan were unreal … truly one of the best parts of the experience. Only wish it was warmer so we could sit on the patio and enjoy it even more 🌅 Definitely a spot worth visiting for great seafood, drinks, and stunning lakefront views.
