Review of Legal Sea Foods - Downtown Crossing

Five stars for yummy food, lots of GF options, and celiac safety! Our waiter was a little frustrating when he announced, “Everything on the menu is gluten free! The batter is gluten free. The fryer is gluten free. Everything on the menu is gluten free.” Clearly this wasn’t true since the menu marks items with a GF symbol (admittedly most of the menu is GF, but not all). If we hadn’t been to other Legal locations previously, this would have made me more nervous, but we had enough confidence in the kitchen to overlook the waiter’s dumb comments. Then when he brought bread for the the gluten eater in our group, he said, “The menu is all gluten free, but the bread is not.” 🙄 He then offered to bring GF bread as well which was fantastic! So, even if you get this misinformed waiter, Legal is still an awesome choice for a safe GF dinner!
