    Excellent service from our waitress. Food was excellent and the portions were very generous. Sat near the window and got to watch the snow come down.

    My husband and I had a great time tonight on Valentine's Day at this place. They have really good cocktails. I tried the winter painkiller. I think it's called and my husband had the mule. Those were both very good. We both had really good dishes. I had the cod with the smoked sea salt and pomegranate, which was phenomenal.

    Reserved early dinner reservation for my high school teacher and my birthday. Legal Sea Foods is her fav restaurant. It was for her 80th Birthday and there was no recognition for it even though I mentioned it. We both ordered grilled swordfish. My swordfish lacked flavor and was not worth $56. I had jasmine white rice and roasted mushrooms, which tasted old and reheated. Lackluster experience for our special birthday event.

    I came back after more than 30 years! I liked the airy athmosphere with the great view onto the South End where I live when in Boston. I was a little disappointed by the food however. How can you cook a lovely sole so much! Why is everything (fish, vegetables, white rice) soaked in oil? The young waitress who took care of us was of exquisite kindness and very attentive. A big thank you to her.

    It has been a while since our previous visit to the "Copley" Legal. The restaurant ambiance felt tired. The chowder wasn't as good as I remembered it, though my wife liked the Artic Char. We sat there and watched a mouse scamper about the restaurant floor. (yes we let the manager know about the mouse) It was all a bit sad.
