Perched on Boston Harbor, Legal Harborside dishes out upscale seafood, sushi, and steaks across three distinct floors, each with stunning views.
"This place is a tourist trap and an amusement park disguised as a seafood restaurant — but the chowder, which has been on many presidential inaugural menus dating back to 1981, is still hard to pass up." - Erika Adams
"We usually wouldn’t recommend a chain with a location at Logan, but the flagship Legal’s would be worth going to for its location alone. It’s in a big, three-story building that sits directly on the water, with a roof deck where you can stare out at the harbor islands (a slightly better view than acres of tarmac and a Hudson News kiosk). Plus, every floor has its own menu, giving you a more exciting Legal’s experience than you get elsewhere. You can still get the classics like the lobster roll and the chowder you’ve already had 826 times in your life, but now you can also opt for some sushi on the casual roof deck, steaks and poached lobster on the white tablecloth second floor, or fried clams downstairs." - tanya edwards
"Legal Harborside is giant — 20,000 square feet — and the views of Boston Harbor from its third floor combination deck/bar are unmatched. You can’t go wrong with Legal’s classic New England clam chowder." - Celina Colby, Eater Staff

"With expansive waterfront views, Legal Harborside’s third floor offers rooftop dining, featuring sushi and classic New England seafood. Part of the space is open year-round, with glass walls and a fireplace keeping things cozy in the winter. The walls and retractable roof open up in the summer, along with additional patio space." - Tanya Edwards, Eater Staff
