Review of Legal Sea Foods

Overall I give this place a “meh”. I will start off by saying that in addition to being strictly GF, I also don’t eat seafood. That limited my options significantly but that is not the fault of the restaurant. We chose to eat here based on the rave reviews but I was not impressed. There are so many better places in Boston. For example, I asked about a dedicated fryer in regards to the French fries and our server said they did not have one, which is contrary to other reviews. Our server was knowledgeable about cross contamination which I did appreciate. To make my burger GF, they pan seared it and I had no bun. Not terrible but, again, not great. My non-GF husband got an expensive scallop dish that was a very small portion.
