Recently on a school trip to Arlington VA my boyfriend and I decided to try Legal Seafoods of Boston for dinner. Expecting a lot from such a busy place where we had to wait with a buzzer for a table at 9:30 pm, we found ourselves to be quite disappointed. We were not buzzed for a table although there were two available and clean on the patio where we wanted to sit. We had to physically go inside and ask to be seated even though there was no one ahead of us!
Once we got a table, our waiter came over quickly and took our drinks. When he brought them, we had to stop him from walking away and tell him that we wanted to order appetizers. I ordered a cup of NE clam chowder which of course one would expect to be delicious from a seafood place. My bf ordered raw oysters.
We had finished our beers and still not gotten these items about 25 minutes later. Finally our waiter stopped by and told us sorry for the delay, he had to open three bottles of wine. We ordered a second round of drinks. Finally our food arrived: the soup was lukewarm, at best. And not that good. NE clam is supposed to be thick and creamy, but this was thin. And that’s what my bf had ordered for his meal.
My meal was shrimp wontons with seaweed salad. There was a tiny bit of salad and the wontons tasted like soap! I would not recommend this restaurant, I have no idea how they managed to be so busy when we were there waiting for a table. Mind you, we only sampled a small portion of the fare on the menu, but were pretty disappointed overall. Poor service, cold soup, and a long wait for the food after having waited 20 minutes for a table at 9:30 at night.
