Legal Sea Foods - Park Square

There are a number of good options for gluten sensitive people on the menu. The items that can be easily made GF or are GF naturally are marked on the menu. They have GF buns and rolls, and the batter they use on their fried menu items is also GF, so we can safely eat fried items there as well. I had a grilled chicken sandwich and French fries. The sandwich was a tad bland, but the French fries were quite good, and I usually do not eat anything fried at restaurants due to cross contamination issues. The server was quite knowledgeable, and I feel no discomfort whatsoever after eating there.

Ate here, felt very safe. Gluten free options clearly marked, all fried foods are gluten free including breaded items. A lot of things looked good. Got gluten free shrimp tempura sushi, they only have gluten free soy sauce according to the server. Tasted lovely, gluten free things were brought out separately by a chef who checked in to be sure we were fine.

Walked across the street from my hotel to this place to see what they might have. I was pleased to find out that not only did they have dedicated fryers, but all of their breading on their fried foods is gluten free. They also have a gluten-free promise on their menu (see photos).

I ordered the fish and chips. I let them know I needed it prepared gluten free, and they asked me if cross contamination was ok (I thought this was weird, but I’ve found seems to be standard restaurant etiquette in Boston).

The food came out hot and tasty, and it made me want to go back (ate at another one of their locations while I was in town).

The drink options are the one thing I wasn’t happy with, and is what kept me from coming back to this one again even though it was across the street. They have no ciders on tap, and their only option, other than hard alcohol, was 12 oz cans of Angry Orchard. While I like Angry Orchard, if you are going to advertise a gluten free promise, and have such a vast gluten free food menu, you should do better on your beverage options.
