Hard to understand why people rate the chain restaurant Legal Seafoods so highly when we have gems like B & G in Boston. Love the NYC neighborhood feel and fresh, local flavors. My out of town friend had Essex clams - perfectly cooked and fresh, fresh fresh. My main of braised skate was as light as a feather, delicately &... more

It's cozy, it's earnest, but it wasn't great. The food was okay, the oysters were quite good, but this place seems to be riding a reputation that might not be so deserved nowadays.

Friday night dinner at B&G. Top 40 Pop hits blaring and awful service. A waitress didn't approach the table for a good five minutes after we were seated. Some of the oysters were great, others just okay. Would definitely not return. Walk across the street to Butcher Shop instead. more
