"Boston’s dining scene is the quintessential melting pot, filled with tony dining rooms, casual crab shacks, and student-filled burger joints. You can also find every type of ethnic eatery imaginable, from Middle Eastern to Milanese to Mediterranean...."

"At this mainstay for New England diners and a Boston tradition for over 40 years, more than 20 varieties of fish are served daily; the chowder is among the best in town...."

"Housed in an office complex, Legal`s has created a welcoming fishmarket feeling in this outpost of the Boston mini chain. The raw bar is excellent, and folks flock from miles for the New England clam chowder...."

"Now under the guidance of famed chef Jasper White, this chain mainstay has solidified its seafood empire with nearly a dozen locations dotting metropolitan Boston. Chowder, lobster, and all manner of fish head up the classical New England menu...."

"All the regional seafood classics, from famed New England chowder to a sumptuous raw bar, can be found here, in the Cambridge outpost of the Legal chain. Just as worthwhile are the more modern takes: seafood stew with Indian spices, for example, and grill..."

"Out-of-towners sometimes react suspiciously when I recommend Legal's -- they're expecting a secret insider tip, and I'm suggesting a place they've already heard of. Just remember that this family-owned business enjoys an international reputation for servi..."

"As Bostonian as the Kennedys, the Sox and the Big Dig, Legal Sea Foods also serves as a model for large-scale seafood restaurants nationwide. Now past its golden anniversary, the chain keeps changing with the times while keeping its core values intact: im..."
