Catia DaSilvaFebruary 5, 2015Lobster, their services, salmon and Thai calamari are amazing.. Popcorn shrimp Uhmmm... Every time I go to Boston I eat at Legal great environment
Emily FlahiveJuly 4, 2013The insanely big waters (in clam chowder to-go cups) Devin gave us to help us keep cool for the Fourth of July after we left! She was so considerate and thoughtful, and very nice.
Da Jung ChungFebruary 21, 2013The menu had a variety of seafood. I tried 6 different types of oysters and a bowl of clam chowder. I loved the oysters. Each oyster had its own taste and were fresh, but the clam chowder could pass.Upvoted Mar 28- Emily FlahiveJuly 4, 2013Wasn't crowded during fourth of July for lunch, nicely air conditioned. Chowdah is incredible. Devin was our waitress and she was fantastically helpful and very nice! Went out of her way to please us
Paula MillerJune 7, 2016You can get the stuff on the lunch menu for dinner if you ask. I had the salad with apples, avocado, and tortilla chips that's only on the lunch menu.
Constantin WOctober 1, 2016Get the New England Clams as a starter, the seafood assortment was also very good!
Abhijeet DesaiOctober 23, 2016The New England Clam Chowder was really nice. The Legal's Signature Crab Cake was good (I switched the seasonal sale for cole slaw). I would avoid the Crispy Point Judith Calamari it was horrible.- Chelsea BeytasJune 19, 2011Ask for Devin W. She's very accommodating and will take all your crazy requests. Very nice. Cobb salad was a great alternative to seafood. Watch out, though! Has onions in the blue cheese vinegrette!
Margot MazurNovember 14, 2015They surprisingly made a lot of veggie side accommodations for me when I was here with my family.
Bob St ClaireApril 15, 2017Absolutely excellent in every way. Highly recommended. Fried clams were fantastic.
Jeremy KrantzNovember 7, 2014Amazing crab caked and chowder! For non seafood eaters, their chicken entré is quite tasty!
The chowder is wonderful. This isn't the Legal Sea Foods from long ago. It's updated and hip.- Andrew LazereJune 3, 2016Fried clam bellies. We don't get them like that on the West Coast. Janet Yellen in the next booth over.
Mirto PMarch 30, 2014Poor service tonight, planned to spend evening - drink, dinner with wine, dessert - but dinner arrived with cocktail and even before the bread, so I got the message and left as soon as I'd eaten.
Obadiah PoundageJuly 30, 2012Make sure you're standing near the gumball machine when you check-in, it'll automatically dispense one when you do!
Avi AlkalaySeptember 25, 2010The best food I'm having since I arrived in US 1w ago. Music is ecletic and good too. Try the grilled bluefish with sides.
Definitely recommend the raw oysters, as well as the sashimi tuna and "Everything Tuna." The polenta is also very creamy and delicious.- Alexander DanniasJune 13, 2013New England Clam Chowder and Legal Crab Cake with Polenta! Really good!
Fernanda SeabraApril 7, 2013Its a little expensive, but the crab cake and the lobster bisque make it worth!
Susan KingOctober 5, 2013Not busy on a beautiful fall Saturday afternoon but everyone seems very disorganized. I'd call ahead - they've set table for 8; taken it down and reset it twice in <20 minutes! Weird!!!
Paul SheltonJuly 20, 2010This is an easy walk from the Cambridge Marriott, and def worth it. The surf and turf was excellent.
Marc Fernandez ♊August 12, 2010Group bookings event has private room! Great atmosphere for group event
ken krivitzkyJuly 8, 2010Parents magazine is right - great place for kids. Mac and cheese comes with grapes and corn.

It’s a scientific fact that seafood is the healthiest protein, so it’s no wonder that LSF located near MIT in Kendall Square would be such a popular lure.

"Best ice cream in the US for a reason. Has a creamy chewiness to it (in a good way). Flavors are amazing. Be adventurous. Try: B^3, Earl gray, Vienna finger, peanut butter cookie, and Butterfinger."
