   Eric, was our server the food was a disappointed I had sirloin tips, rice, peel, and brussels sprouts the brussels sprouts and the rice peel off the cold. The steak was good. My husband had scallops fried. He didn’t enjoy the middle and thought they were too easy. It was five in the party so the other three people really didn’t have any complaints. The drinks were very watery This was my first bad experience at legal seafood

   The waitress was very good. I had not been to legal sea food in years and was surprised that it was now less upscale. The mussels were excellent but not hot. The rib eye was warm not hot and fairly fatty. The tuna was rare not medium rare. The vegetables were very good. I would try again as has good reputation.

   Have been eating Legal Seafood since the 80’s. The Short Hills Legal looks old and tired and needs to be refurbished. The salad was fresh crisp with a wonderful dressing. The sangria was top shelf and refreshing. The mains were served bountifully and was good. The size of the portions are such that you can almost share the entree. Gladly took home half of the dinner and enjoyed lunch. The restaurant looks and feels old as do the restrooms. Time for a make over unless they are going out of business. I would return.

   Always loved legal seafood. It’s been going downhill. The restaurant is looking weathered. My dinner was not good. Caesar salad with grilled salmon. Salad had no taste and the piece of salmon was so minuscule. I don’t think we’ll be going back

    Good food with good service. Oysters were very fresh. Steak was cooked to perfection. Crab cakes very expensive. Would recommend.
