Reliably fresh seafood with innovative preparations is what Legal Sea Foods is all about. Although Legal Sea Foods is a chain, they do a great job at masking that well with a funky neon, and brightly lit decor, excellent service, and freshly prepared seafood and fish. The Framingham location has established a relationship with a small cheese shop in Wellesley as well bringing in a variety of unusual and hard to find cheeses for an appetizer or after dinner delight.

The wine list is very good, often bringing in new selections each season. You can choose a wine flight as well here and the waitstaff does a fantastic job of describing the wines before trying them. The staff also knows the menu well and is very comfortable offering suggestions based upon your mood.

Legal’s does offer a kids menu. Although you won’t ever find the place packed with little ones, you can feel comfortable bringing the family here. And for business travelers from out of town, looking for that authentic New England clam chowder or crab bisque, you will find it here along with fresh lobster and a variety of other seafood and fish dishes to choose from. If you’re in the mood for something lighter, try one of the salads and have grilled shrimp or fish topped on it. One of my favorites is the pear and blue cheese salad with a bit of grilled shrimp. Legal’s knows how to cook and not once have the shrimp ever come out to me at anything less than perfectly cooked.

Legal Sea Foods can be expensive depending upon your ordering preferences but it is well worth the cost for the fresh and pleasantly prepared meals. A great place to go for a business dinner or lunch with out of town clients.
