Legal Sea Foods

We have been traveling a lot since we moved to Boston, so we haven't had the chance to explore the dining world here.  Yesterday, we got the opportunity to go to Legal Sea Foods thanks to a gift card from our wonderful brother and sister.  We had been there a couple times before so we were not strangers to the restaurant.  Legal Sea Foods is a chain restaurant that has several locations in Boston and Massachusetts.  We went to the Legal Sea Foods at Long Wharf near the Aquarium T stop.  I would say it's not fine dining and their seafood dishes can be pricey but there is something comforting about its dishes.  Here's what we got!

I opted for clam chowder and their signature crab cakes while my husband had the Lobster Lovers dinner, which included a bowl of clam chowder, 1.5-1.75 pound lobster with two sides, and the dessert of the day which was blueberry cobber with vanilla ice cream.

I'm a huge fan of clam chowder and I really enjoyed Legal Sea Food's version.  It is creamy with a good amount of clams.

Here are Legal Sea Foods' signature crab cakes.  They are large and are all crab with no filler.  I thought the seasoning could be slightly better but it paired well with the arugula salad served on the side.

Wil's lobster dinner with butter.  Lobster was cooked well.

Dessert was a blueberry crisp with vanilla ice cream.  It wasn't heavy at all and the oat topping made it feel somewhat healthy :).

Our server was very friendly and the food came out at a pretty speedy pace, thanks to their electronic pads to put your orders in.  All in all, a good meal that will fill you up!  For lobster, I think it was too pricey for us, especially when we can probably go to the market and steam some lobsters for half of the price.  However, their food is tasty and will please the masses.
