I've eaten at several different Legal Sea Foods in the mid-Atlantic area, but the food at this location (Prudential Center) seemed slightly fresher and tastier than the others I've eaten at. The lobster was fresh and tasty, and the service was excellent. A nice choice when you are staying in this area and want some decent seafood. more

We enjoyed the food but the restaurant is too much like a chain (it is of course). In a place like Boston there's better seafood places with nicer ambiance. more

On feb 29. 2008 went to the one on Long Wharf. I ordered the Tuna steak and my wife the smallest lobster (think it was supposed to be around 1 1/2 lbs)... more

Visited the Long Wharf restaurant on Mar. 1/08 and disappointment pretty much sums up my experience. We were told that there would be a 20 min. wait, no problem have a drink at the bar … our pager they gave us went off, and we paid for our drinks but by the time we got to the hostess they had... more

I had dinner at the Legal Sea Foods restaurant in the Prudential Center in Boston on January 22, 2008. There were 16 of us in our party and we sat at one long table in a room set aside for large parties. There was one other large party in the room. I had very high expectations for this restaurant after... more
