Andrew BurgessJuly 16, 2014They have a great allergy menu for the gluten sensitive folk like myself. On top of that, they've got great fresh food and great service. Can't ask for more than that!
The lobster bisque, clam chowder, lemon caper sole, and Boston baked scrod are my favorites. All are absolutely delicious!- Watch out for small bones in the Lemon Caper Sole! I love Legals food but I have found small bones in the sole twice recently. I wouldn't recommend ordering it until this issue is resolved!Upvoted 2 weeks ago
- Avoid the Alaskan Salmon Special as it tastes way too fishy to be actual fresh Alaskan Salmon. On the upside, the staff was very nice about this incident and promised to look into the issue.
Gil G ⚡June 4, 2022Expect to spend a lot of $$. However, the quality is great! $39 for a half pound lobster roll at current market pricing.
Norah LApril 20, 2011the regulars sit at the bar. freshest fish you'll find on the east coast - all comes from day boats. great sangria, seafood antipasti, cod with capers, and best chowder ever.- Catia DaSilvaFebruary 5, 2015Lobster, their services, salmon and Thai calamari are amazing..

- Pro tip: You can substitute one of your sides for a house or Caesar salad.
Yoav BarshadJuly 24, 2018They have moved to a new structure that seem to have cost a lot so we decided to try again. Horrible food good drinks and rude staff by far the worst seafood restaurant I’ve been to in recent memory!
Cecilia Waikoko-WhippleDecember 8, 2013Highly DISAPPOINTED. Flounder stuffed with crab meat was raw! I accidentally ate some raw fish (gelatinous texture). Mgr did not compensate for a RUINED dining experience. No dinner for me! :(
Market downstairs is what it use to be, suspect the same is true for the restaurant
John CaramucciMarch 28, 2018I’ve been to so many seafood places but this was by far my worst experience. I absolutely can’t stand this place. Food was terrible and my fish was undercooked. Manager and staff were rude
Rafael RojoSeptember 1, 2015El clam chowder es un clásico. Los camarones con ajo son muy buenos pero es una porción grande. Las almejas fritas también están buenas.

"This was a great messy experience. I wanna go back very soon. The Cajun option is spicy enough; I don't understand how one would add more spicy levels. Great place and drove far to get there."

"I live nearby and wish I discovered Steamers sooner. The lobster roll was packed with meat and delicious. Get it toasted and buttered! Chowders were cheap and fresh and steamers were so tender"

"Honestly the best place I've ever been to watch a movie. Reclining chairs are outrageously comfortable. Best feature is wait service with full service bar beer and wine."
