Sorry to hear that the previous reviewer didn't have a good experience at the Harvard Square Legal Seafoods. I take exceptiion with his remark that locals don't do there - I'm a local and whenever we have guests in town or just want some seafood - we head to Legal's in Harvard Square. I've been there at least 6 times... more

We love Legal Seafood. It has some of the freshest, most comprehensive and best prepared seafood in the area. We've dined at most area locations and like this location. It's easily T accessible, away from the hordes of tourists and spacious. Highly recommended. more
