Legal Sea Foods - Dedham

As you know, I don't do food photos as you know. It comes on a plate most times, and Legal.Seafood in Dedham really knocked it out of the park in that category. I might add a Pic from outside. Excellent location, btw! All kinds of shopping. I would suggest getting on your device and adding a reservation. It's pretty busy. Nathan was our server. He was well-versed and enthusiastic about Legal Seafood's attentiveness to the nation's recent rash of food allergies. The Manager as well, I didn't get her name, was as well. Essentially, if you are looking for a place in SW Boston where you can safely get a very decent meal even totally gluten free, this is the place. Sevice: excellent On to the food: great variety of Seafood as one would think. Very fresh, very well prepared, and plated. This was our first Legal Seafood, and we were exceptionally pleased. We found the prices very reasonable, and certainly worth the time (quick service in any event). But I would suggest going on your device and hooking yourself up with a reservation. It's easy enough. Having said that, enjoy.

Great legal- busy at peak times like weekends. Great for Gluten allergies. Service is always good.

Upon arriving in the restaurant it was not busy at all. Yet the bar table top was not clean. I waited patiently for the bar tender to greet me . I literally watched him ignore one other guest. About 5 or more minutes went by as I waited patiently for him to even turn around and acknowledge me. Finally I asked politely if I could have some water and a menu . I thankfully had my own clean tissue to wipe the area at which I chose to sit. I explained that I had celiac disease. I asked for recommendations. He seemed very disinterested in providing and positive selections that were safe to consume. He was more concerned about if I ordered a cocktail. I asked for hot water. Needless to say service was not good at all. Maybe a total of 15 patrons. A few servers on hand. Dodd came out in a decent amount of time. Was over cooked and I had to ask for more marinara sauce . I finally decided to order a cocktail. That was decent. I tried a mango lemon drop. It was ok. As a restaurant that I like and enjoy “ Legal Seafood “ typically I must say that I will never return. Mainly for the lack of cleanliness, overall customer server experience and the pricing is ridiculously high for two items. The food was not even that good and the cocktail was just so so. To pay $35 for two items definitely not worth it.. unfortunately I have to give this a not so great review. Moving forward I hope that there are improvements. It’s very sad because at this moment, I am actually walking over to another restaurant so I can get a decent meal..
