It is very sad that I will never dine at Legal Seafoods again. I've been eating at Legals since Inman Square, when everyone seemed to care about their food and your experience. It takes a lot for me to turn on an establishment that has provided me with so many wonderful meals over the last four decades. But two bad experiences was followed up by the inexcusable -- apathetic service, food and management. The particulars are unimportant. Sad

Mediocre food in a production atmosphere; living off their name when they were a unique location. You can do much better with any well rated owner run restaurant in town.

Decent to very good food and great wine list joined with bad service and policies. I really do not like the pay by machine and select your tip while the server lingers over you. Typically I ask for a printed check instead and my request is graciously accepted (often with the comment that many people do not like this system). But today the server refused and was very rude in front of my guests.

WARNING: A confirmed reservation here (Copley Square) is NOT a reservation, but only a priority on the line of people waiting -- ahead of those without reservations and behind others with!! They do NOT hold a table. This policy is unreasonable unless they explicitly tell you when you make reservations. Our wait of over 25 minutes resulted in a quite rushed meal before the theater. Fortunately, the wait staff is efficient and the food is good.

Good: extremely fresh, high quality shellfish and fin fish. As sweet and fresh mussels I've had outside of PEI. Bad: Mediocre food preparations and generally inept service. Conclusion: good place if you need your fix of raw shellfish or a quick appetizer and a drink, for a meal, go elsewhere.
