"This 20,000-square-foot flagship of the iconic 70-year-old Legal Seafood empire makes it its mission to be all things to all New England seafood-loving people. Opened in 2011 in the Seaport , on the site of a longtime Boston institution called Jimmy’s Harborside, the restaurant holds not just one dining destination but a trio of them, one on each of its three floors. At street level, you’ll find an all-day casual venue, with an oysters, fresh-fish, and a prepared-foods market. Above that, there’s a more formal setting for elevated dishes and celebratory meals. The top story rooftop lounge, meanwhile, offers sweeping views, small bites, cocktails, and retractable glass walls and ceiling that keep it comfortable all year long." - Elizabeth Wellington, Andrew Sessa
