The food was not as great as in our previous visits. I asked for a medium filet mignon and it was over cooked. However, my asparagus and rice pilaf were good. My wife had the scallops. The scallops were good, but the sides were subpar. She had what I believe was roasted cauliflower, and the pearl onions that came with. It weren't very good. We had the chocolate pudding cake for dessert, which was very good. I'll server was nice and friendly. Our appetizers were average we had the hush puppies and the coconut shrimp. Our server was nice and friendly and we were pleased with her. We will definitely be back to give the restaurant another chance to please us as they have on previous visits.
Had reservations. Seated at table, waited 10 minutes before we were brought menus. Ordered drinks and salad. Salad came, no drinks. Had to ask again for drinks. Long Island Iced Tea was weak, very lemony. Server was very nice, apologetic. Entrees arrived, fried shrimp were just warm, soggy breading, fries were cold, only tartar sauce brought, had to ask for cocktail sauce. Rockfish was tepid. Side of broccoli was burnt. $120+ Won't be back.

We came in as a large group for lunch. We were seated promptly and met our friendly server right away. Our food was prepared in a reasonable time frame. Was the food good? Omg ... delicious! I chose the salmon with herbed rice pilaf and sesame and soy roasted broccoli. It was delicious, and I savored every bite. (The picture that I am posting is only half of the meal that I was served.) Cornelius gave our group outstanding service! The atmosphere was perfect, thank you for an enjoyable meal.

Service should be better. Initially it was very slow. When I told the waitress we had to be done in 1 hour because we had tickets to a show nearby, she was more responsive but borderline hostile thereafter. She tossed plates on the table and laid drinks together for us to hand out. It wouldn't bother me except was incompatible with the prices charged. Out of six meals, 2 were excellent, 2 were fair, and 2 were poor. The salmon was excellent, pasta and lobster were fair. The fish sandwich was good but a very small portion. The chicken sandwich was overcooked. The clam chowder and hush puppies were excellent. The only reason I'd go back is it's close to theatre venues. I would just get drinks and light fare.

The servers at this restaurant work well as a team. I sat at the bar where Taylor took great care of me. Justin ran the hot food out of the kitchen and didn’t leave my side until he asked if I needed anything else. Good man! Finally, Kelli, the manager, dropped by to make sure I had a good experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit.

I lived in Boston for 3 years and was so excited when I learned LS was opening in VB. What a disappointment. Not only were they out of key items on the menu the service was astoundingly slow for the number of people in the restaurant and the food was subpar at best. So disappointed

Branching out to try different seafood restaurants isn't common for me. I'm a creature of habit when it comes to seafood so I usually stick to my favorite spots. We had recently heard of a new seafood restaurant in Town Center and decided to roll the dice. The experience far exceeded my expectations!Upon entering, the ambiance immediately transported me to a maritime oasis, with nautical décor and an inviting atmosphere. We were greeted by Kelli and another hostess who promptly sat us. I ordered the Red Crab Dip as a starter which turned out to be everything I look for in this appetizer. Big chunks of crab with sharp cheddar cheese that were seasoned to perfection. For my entree, I decided on the Lobster Roll. When it arrived, the lobster was piled high and easily could feed two people. Please don't worry about getting what you pay for here!In addition to the exceptional food, the service at Legal Seafood could not have been better. Our server Jessi was attentive and knowledgeable. The general manager Andrew stopped by our table to introduce himself and inquire about meal. He even provided additional meal recommendations for our next visit. Andrew obviously runs a tight ship because our experience was nothing short of exceptional and we will be back very soon!

When I saw that a new seafood restaurant opened near me I was excited but man was I disappointed. The rice was undercooked, the steak was over cooked and unseasoned. The only thing that we enjoyed were the tacos, everything else I wasn’t impressed by. The atmosphere was very nice and the service was great. Just reminded me of an overpriced red lobster.
My bf got shrimps and scallops. It was cooked good. Very tasty! I had the Nori yellowfin tuna, cooked medium. the broccoli was really good and the sauce. It's very spicy, but I love it.We added 2 lobster tail on the side. It was very bland. The butter too. For the price it wasn't worth it.I had the spicy cucumber cocktail. No sweetness on it.Our server 'Amiah' is very sweet and took care of our needs. We're very grateful.I just saw on their board that they had sushi rolls, it's not on the menu under the bar & sushi. So it was weird to put sushi, but not sushi written. They didn't offer too. I would have ordered sushi for me.

My kid & I hopped into a high-top half-booth for a seafood snacky before a matinée performance of Evita at the Sandler Center, whose front door smiles directly at this restaurant.We shared some sushi, oysters, & seaweed salad. Everything was cold, fresh, tasty, inventively presented— awesome! Service from the server/bartender was also impeccable.I love that their kid menu includes an unusually long list of healthy options. My daughter rolled some dice & won a $25 gift card. We would have come back anyway! Cheers.Kid-friendliness: My nine-year-old eats what I eat; she loved the sushi, oysters, and seaweed salad. Their kid menu has a lot of healthy options!

Pro: We were sat right away (no wait). Their seared scallops dish served with tuscan kale, whipped sweet potatoes, pancetta, and cranberry & sweet potato hash was hands down the best dish I've eaten in years. No modifications needed. I'd request this dish on death row. Cons: The service was very slow, and my water glass could have used more refills than offered. The key lime pie didn't hit.
