    Baked Robster was so good. Robster was huge with lots of mussels and other shellfish, lemon, corn and potatos. Our server was very helpful. Fillet mignon stake was very tender and tasted wonderful. And clam chowder bowl, which we three shared, was big enough and tasty.

    Went for the $1 Tuesday oysters. There was only one kind left of the 6 advertised. No problem — it was already 2p. A few of my first dozen had shell bits. The second dozen almost all had shell bits. Kinda ruined the experience. I’m not sure I’d order again even during dining hours and no sale price. The oyster poboy was great.

    You can't get batter seafood than Legal Seafood. It is always perfectly cooked and tasty! The restaurant in Kendall Square is large and you can make reservations. The servers are attentive and cordial. I recommend Legal Seafood to anyone who wants to eat lobster, crab or fish.
