    We have eaten here at this Legal’s many times over the years and have never experienced such a disappointing meal. The food wasn’t very good—my fish was overcooked and the veggies were so undercooked. The waitress pretty much rushed us through the meal like they couldn’t wait for us to be gone, although we had a 7 pm reservation, it was a Sunday night, there were hardly any people in the restaurant, and we were done by 8:10! They have that new device where the waitperson stands at your table while your card is being charged and it’s just very awkward and confrontative IMO, and not really used in fancier restaurants. So I think Legal’s has changed for the worse recently and we were kind of sad about this. It is also very chilly there, which makes it kind of uncomfortable.

    Great food, casual dress or dress-up is fine. Perfect for a special night out or just a stop by mid-week. Our dish was fantastic!

    Our waitress was wonderful. She was very helpful and attentive. In general the food quality was high, as usual. We have been going to Legal in Framingham over 30 years. The redesign of the restaurant has resulted in a high level of noise. The cooking odors from the kitchen in the back half of the restaurant, near the kitchen, are overwhelming. Our clothes smelled badly when we got home. And while the main course was great, the blueberry bread pudding desert was nearly rock hard and served with melted ice cream.
    Legal Sea Foods - FraminghamResponded on October 28, 2026
    We’re grateful for your 30 years of loyalty and glad your waitress and the main course stood out. Thank you for sharing this feedback. We hope you will visit us again.

    The fish was fresh, tasty and expertly prepared. Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough of it in the fisherman’s platter. Overly loaded with French fries, which were too thick and not crispy enough.
    Legal Sea Foods - FraminghamResponded on October 25, 2026
    Thank you for noting the fresh, tasty, and expertly prepared fish — we are glad you enjoyed that. We are sorry the fisherman’s platter didn’t include enough fish and felt overloaded with fries, which were too thick and not crispy. We appreciate this clear feedback about portion and texture. We hope you’ll visit us again.

    We sat at the bar. Restaurant was busy, led to slow service. Food came out in a timely fashion, took a while to get the attention of bartenders.

    My biggest issue with this place was the hostess. We arrived and were told there was an hour wait, ok no problem too long for us so we leave. Go outside and use open table to look for a reservations somewhere, shows legal has a reservation in 15 minute?? Ok weird but I take it. We go back inside and I tell the hostess we have a reservation at 7, she says ok it will be a few minutes, no problem I tell her we will be at the bar getting a drink. At 7 I get a text saying our table is ready. I walk over immediately and she tells me she gave our table away!! It took me 30’seconds to walk over, she said she called my name and I said yes but I told you I’d be at the bar and you said it woukd be fine and also I got the text not even 1 minute ago and I showed her my phone. She acted annoyed and told me she would see what she could do. She ultimately sat us a few minutes later. Overall I felt they were disorganized.
