Legal Sea Foods - Harborside Boston Reviews

This was actually a really good place to eat during my recent visit to Boston. I'm a clam chowdah fiend and will regularly base my review on how their chowdah is. Their chowdah is very tasty. Nice people too and attentive. I'm always on the
Great restaurant on Boston's Seaport.
The 3rd floor rooftop bar in the Summer is the place to be.

Was suggested this place for dinner while in port off a cruise ship. It's about a 6 mins. ride from the pier. Made reservation for 5:30pm and upon arrival. It was quite, bright and clean. Was met promptly by receptionist and taken to my tabl

It's been maybe 20 years since I was last in Boston but I remembered eating some delicious clam chowder at Legal Seafood. My friend and I had several hours before she needed to catch her flight so we had a made our way to the Harborside location
Disappointing experience
Worst experience here we've ever had.. Usually amazing... Party of 6. $45 lobster rolls were cold, whole belly clam plate consisting of 10 clams, $45... reservation was at 5. No refill of drinks water or bar. Averaged $125 per couple Clam chow

I love legal seafood!!! It is the best seafood restaurant and love the ambiance. My sister and I were in Boston and went one night. Always consistent great quality
Beautiful place to enjoy a delicious meal.
The clam chowder was so tasty and comforting. We had oysters - fresh, cold, and the liquor was so clear. Mussels were meaty a generous piece of grilled bread. Loved the ambiance.
Amazing Lunch
Visited for lunch. The service was great but the food was exceptional. The lobster Mac and cheese was delicious and presentation was nice inside of a lobster shell. My wife and I split the lobster rolls (hot and cold) and both were amazing and hard t
Got sick
Got sick. Something was obviously not fresh or not clean enough. Ruined my day. Staff were nice though. Will avoid the brand
Food was cold when served.
Took a while to order, large group came at same time. Chowder was good, could have been hotter. Stuffies good. Server was helpful but seemed a little confused. Ambiance loud, large group was disruptive .
One of the must-dos in Boston according to locals.
This location is waterfront. The lobster rolls are so good -- the most tender lobster rolls that I've ever had. The best part are the portions were so generous so it lasted 2 meals for me. The clam chowder was hearty. Service was friendly.
Love the crab meat roll.
Can't beat the harbor view from top deck bar (limited food menu mostly sushi) or first floor restaurant. Always busy.
Always a wonderful experience at Legals, and Harborside was
Always a wonderful experience at Legals, and Harborside was no exception. Excellent service, delicious seafood, and a lovely ambiance. Everyone was very welcoming and accommodating to our party's good allergies. We came without a reservation on

Food, service, and ambiance were excellent.
Enjoyed the lobster roll, little neck clams, and oysters.

Came here to get some lobster and clam chowder on a Friday night. Was able to get seated at a small table with view of water with no reservation at 6pm. We ordered the stuffed lobster to share with miso glazed carrots and the orzo salad. The sides w
Nice location, good service.
Location was good, service was good but the food was bland with no flavor. My husband had the special; grilled mahi mahi with rice pilaf and coleslaw. All of it was tasteless. I’m not a seafood gal so I had a Caesar salad with a side order of ch
Great food/location/staff
Friendly, helpful staff from start to finish. The food was delicious, the portion sizes are big so be warned. Local produce, helpful suggestions from the staff and a selection of non alcoholic drinks makes this a winner for me.
Good but hostile!
The Boston chowder was delicious! However we made the mistake of getting it to go. The staff then became unfriendly and didn’t want us to sit and eat it at a table in the very nearly empty restaurant (we were there before the lunch rush).
Disappointing
Disappointing. In the past we’ve had great meals at other Legal Seafood locations. This dinner did not live up to expectations. This location is right on the water so it’s a good view if seated at the window. The inside decor is only so so.
I would give this a 3.
5 if I could, but the atmosphere is nice with a great view of the harbor. Our waitress was also very sweet. They have a kids' menu that includes a starter, main and two sides. We had the clam chowder, which was good, but I don't know if I w
Delicious!
Clean, light, great views and seems to be a very popular place to be. Tried the Cioppino amd it was excellent. The waiter was friendly and attentive. Great place and meal.
Don’t bother eating here if you care about quality of food or sercie
We have been going to Legal seafood for over 30 years and it has gotten worse over the years. We took our out of town friends for dinner and this had to be the worst restaurant… it was just straight out embarrassing. It took over 30 min for our d
First timer to Boston and wanted some seafood.
Definitely get a reservation! Did not know that a lobster roll was $46 here. Decided against getting it and got the sea-cone instead. Do not recommend. Was a basic dry croissant with a few pieces of lobster on top. I did enjoy the salt and vinegar
We had an early dinner/drinks here on a Thursday evening.
We got there about 4 pm so got a table outside by the water. Nice views. We ordered the white sangria & the red sangria. I'm not certain you could call them sangrias, since there was no fruit visible in either, but the flavors were definitel
The food and location were top-notch.
The service, not so much. As a starter, we ordered the muscles in a white wine/lemon sauce. The menu description included grilled bread. After the muscles were dropped off, it took a while to realize there was no grilled bread coming. We asked a st
Good Lunch Spot on Harbor
Everything was fresh and delicious. We enjoyed raw oysters and lobster. Service was very good. Nice view of the harbor.

Legal is solid if you're looking for somewhere to take visitors for seafood. Extra points for the ambiance and being by the water. My favorite thing here is the clam chowder. 10/10! My second favorite thing is the views and vibes. Love their

None of the servers smiled and no one had any interest in our table.... Food was good. But just a money maker for someone
Server needs to speak up!
Never had such a bad service experience in the US. Server kept saying random things under his breath then walking away! Food was fine but service was shocking. Then he awarded himself the largest percentage tip, which we only realised when we’d lef
Horrible
I was going to this establishment to meet old friends. While there a server seemed upset by something she overheard by our table and complained to me that I was over served drinks wen requesting another. I explained as well as my friend to the manage
Worth the price
Gorgeous setting. Tasty food. Warm rolls are superb. Fish taco plate was excellent Very expensive. Parking is easy but also expensive. However, management strives to please. Good value for the total experience.
The busiest restaurant in Seaport area
It is always filled with people at dinner time. Although this is a famed restaurant chain in Boston, most of the seafood dishes are not impressive. Clam chowder is of normal quality. We tried fish & chips ($29), cioppino ($49), and baked stuffed
Just not worth the money there are way better restaurants in Boston
Just really not worth the money and the hype. The soup arrived after the entrées were served. The salads were overdressed with very wilted lettuce. The fish added to the salads was mediocre. The french fries had no flavor. Difficult to get anyone t

What a fantastic place to have a drink, appetizers and just to enjoy one another's company. Every chance we get to enjoy a rooftop bar, we take it. We loved the music, the service was great, the harbor view was perfect and the decor was amazin

Wonderful Cioppino with lobster, mussels, clams, calamari, shrimp and white fish in a spicy tomato stew with chunks of fresh tomatoes. The crab cake appetizer was also amazing. Finished it off with a delicious Boston Creme pie that was actually a cak
Poor customer service
staff members were not proactive at all. Had to call them to the table multiple times. Some staff members just referred to other and said we had to wait. Slow service in general. We came twice and decided not to eat either one of the days due slow
Horrible.
Bad service. We sat and nobody came to take our order. We would not be back.
Great seafood restaurant close to the harbor!
We had great seafoor dinners! The wait staff was super. I had eaten here 20 years ago and is still as good! Would definitely come again.

On my last evening in town for a work trip, our group of eight was looking for dinner in the Seaport area without a reservation, not an easy task. We decided to try Legal Sea Foods and lucked out when a no-show freed up a table for us right as we wal

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Legal Sea Foods - Harborside Boston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Legal Sea Foods - Harborside Boston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Legal Sea Foods - Harborside Boston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Legal Sea Foods - Harborside Boston!
