    Private Equity has done no favor to Legal Sea Foods. Marginal service in a tired environment. This was once the flagship store and will never return. Too bad.

    Possibly the worst dining experience of my life; my date and I witnessed a family of mice running freely around the restaurant. When we brought it to the staff’s attention, they responded with no sense of urgency and very little care. We left immediately before finishing our meals, and when we requested the bill, the manager only removed one item from our bill. The most disturbing part about the whole experience was how unbothered the staff seemed to be regarding the situation, indicating that this was not an uncommon occurrence. I was very dissatisfied with the entire experience; the restaurant and likely the entire mall should be evaluated to ensure that they are in compliance with health and safety standards.

    Hostess did not properly greet you The waiter was very nice but so inexperienced The bar we were told could not make bloody Mary’s because they had no bloody Mary mix  they never cleared the table after we finished our appetizers and brought out the main course I had to ask them to take the empty dishes we asked for extra lemon and tartar sauce, and we were practically done with the meal by the time they brought it as well as the soy sauce and chopsticks for the sushi that was ordered  will not be going back there anytime soon

    Awesome food. However this a shopping mall location and the atmosphere suffers for it. Very low energy and quiet experience even on a Saturday night. Other LS locations are much better if you want a fun and lively vibe to go with the good food.

    They burned our crab roll buns and still served them like that. They were charred black. Otherwise was fine. I like the lunch combo.

    Service was outstanding and the food was very good if a bit under seasoned. The servers did a great job of managing a large party and making us feel special. They were friendly and attentive and made the evening fun.
