   Great, quick service and our meal was brought to us hot and right out of the kitchen. Food was as good as it was decades ago. All fresh fish and tasty sides. Chowder was the best and had just enough pieces of clams and chunks of potatoes. Rolls warm and filling.

   As usual, everything was great—food, service, atmosphere. Our server was extremely kind and patient with my grandson. However, I didn’t get points for this visit, even though I showed our server the app and gave him my cell number

   The bartender seemed confused that we asked for napkins and silverware. She was doubly confused when we asked for rolls. She brought our oysters before our drinks. The oysters were very tasty but whoever shucked them didn’t release them from the shell so that makes them difficult to eat. The Caesar salad dressing was not good. The chowder was fine, good clam flavor. And I know it’s my fault for trying the non alcoholic rose but there are some decent ones, the one you have is yucky. We won’t be back anytime soon.

   New Years Eve dinners can be hit and miss- sometimes with limited menus or short staffing. We were happy to book reservations for four just a bit in advance and were warmly greeted and seated. Our server was perfect- attentive, responsive, patient and knowledgeable. There's an extensive menu of mostly seafood but also some salads and meats. Scanning a QR code provided updated information of the sourcing location of most of the seafood on the menu- a very nice touch and indicative of the fact that Legal is a great place for fresh seafood. I was surprised that the beer menu was so limited although the drink menu and wine choices were better. There was a big surprise- there were no grilled scallops to be found which was what several of us were looking for. The scallop casserole could be lightened up to have mostly lightly breaded baked scallops which were ok, but I'm still surprised that a staple like grilled scallops weren't available. Other meals included surf and turf with twin filets and a lobster tail- all well prepared. For me the treat of the night was the octopus appetizer, which was tender, tasty and beautifully plated. My tuna was initially ordered rare by me but because of the type of cut I sent it back for a bit more cooking- which was done perfectly- a huge portion. All in all, a solid meal with great service.

   Grilled salmon was fresh and delicious- curried veggies, and street corn were also tasty. We liked the thick cod loins as well - and whipped potatoes were perfect. A fellow who brought us the food carefully described what he was bringing us, and gave the right food to the right person who ordered it. Our waitress was attentive and very efficient. We always have a good experience at Legal. We'll be back soon!

   I missed the backless stool option while reserving. Some elderly of our party needed seats with backs but staff were able to accommodate us with good seats. Food and service was fine with minor service delays on Christmas Eve.
