    I've struggled with the Braintree location for some time. The service is always great but the food is unacceptable and I will not longer frequent this location.

    Brian made our experience the best yet! We had a great time interacting with him. We will definitely be back hoping we will have him again as our waiter. We had a great time telling him about our surprise experience at the Hyatt!

    i always choose Legal for a night out for dinner as it’s always the freshest haddock anywhere . the haddock is so good i request without bread crumbs because it’s more keto friendly , but then again i ordered the short rib advertised that is not keto friendly but out of this world. the sides are always good snd there is a fair share of choices. i didn’t do dessert but the selection looked amazing.

    Food is delicious. Salmon was cooked perfectly. The potatoes were smooth and creamy. Entrees are a little bit on the expensive side. Good place to go for a Holiday or celebration.

    Reservation for Easter dinner with family. We were greeted and sat by the hostess promptly. Our waitress was very cheery and answered all of our questions with a smile. A bottle of wine, appetizers delicious meal and dessert were perfect! It’s becoming our “go to” place!

    Another solid experience at the Braintree store. We were greeted and seated promptly even though we were 5 mins off our reservation. Lobster roll and crispy fish sandwich were prepared to perfection. Brian's service as always was amusing, personable and professional. Great job!
