    The Wellfleet oysters were the best I've eaten. This is one of few fish restaurants where you can orer rainbow trout. Although there was a little confusion about our order, the problem was straightened out quickly. Also, we arrived about an hour earlier than our reservation, but a table was found for us. The table was next to a window, and at this time of year you can feel the cold from outside from time to time. Not a major problem. Finally, the Sancerre we ordered was excellent, and the waitress was very attentive and responsive.

    The fish is always great at Legal. The one drawback is the prices which are clearly on the high side. Side dishes keep getting smaller. Menu has changed somewhat from a few years back. Now offering some less expensive alternatives such as a fish sandwich. Even though some drawbacks Legal is still great for fish.

    Excellent start to finish experience at the Braintree store. Reservation was honored on time, we were greeted with a smile and seated promptly. Server Brian embraced us (literally LOL) like the old friend he is and his service as always was top notch professional. Appetizer and entrees were delicious. Even the great background holiday music added to the positive ambiance.

    I am a Legal Seafood fan. We have eaten at most of them. I would say this Legal was the best Legal I have experienced. The food was superior to other Legals and the Service was wonderful. A very comfortable restaurant.

    Legal is our go-to place for seafood. Always excellent service, quality, and portion. Recent specials have been very good. In today's dine out experience the prices are very reasonable.
