Legal Sea Foods - Cranston

Really impressed by Legal Seafoods. They should have a higher rating than 3.3 on Yelp for sure. I know they have a lot of locations which is I didn’t have the highest hopes coming in. The quality of the food was terrific and the service was excellent. Great portions as well. It started with the hot/fresh rolls when we sat down. We all split the calamari - original style- which was fried nicely. However, this was the only dish that had a disappointing portion size. For close to $20, I expected more pieces. I ordered the blackened yellowfin tuna ($41). It was cooked perfectly with nice flavor. However, my favorite part of the dish was the two sides I got with it. The curried vegetable medley was tasty, but the pad Thai style quinoa was out of this world! It had that typical pad Thai taste, and the amount given was super generous. My mom ordered the crispy fish sandwich ($19). They were extremely considerate allowing her to sub out fries and coleslaw for other sides which more expensive. The fish sandwich was delicious as I had a few bites, but it could’ve used more fish itself. I also had some of my Dad’s Anna’s Baked Haddock ($28.5). The piece was enormous. It must’ve taken up half of the plate and probably weigh a pound. The buttered crumb topping was delicious and the oven roasted broccoli was cooked very well. We finished with the chocolate pudding cake ($12). It was incredibly moist and melts in your mouth. The texture was unbelievable. The molten center was fantastic and I wanted another after I finished. And I can’t believe it was gluten free. We had an amazing waitress and she really knew how to do her job well. I think her name was Madison, she’s been working there over a year. It’s very clean inside with a chill atmosphere and a huge bar in the middle. Prices are on the higher side, but not too bad for a seafood centered restaurant.

The food was amazing and the service was exceptional. The restaurant has a calming atmosphere after a long day. Keith was our server and was extremely helpful and friendly. This restaurant will be a regular stop for myself, friends and family. It is highly recommended. I was impressed with the gluten free and dishes without white flour and how accommodating their were to my food allergies.
