We like Legal Seafoods because you can count on the fish being fresh and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant being pleasant. The Chestnut Hill version of the restaurant appears to be a bit upscale from the others. There are several dining areas at Legal Seafood and they all having high ceilings. The decor is dark wood mixed with dark green seats on chairs and burgundy colored, leatherette banquettes.
Daily specials reflect the catch of the day.
Meat entrees are also available, but are in the minority. Along with the fish specials, wine and dessert specials are offered. Our waitress was exceptionally attentive and always available. She noticed that our paper place mats were getting soiled between courses, so she graciously replaced them. She delivered silverware to the table by placing it on a fabric napkin that was placed over a large dinner plate.
