The signature dish at Legal Sea Foods – really fresh fish.

Fish is brain food, so it makes perfect sense that Legal Sea Foods is a popular destination for those in Harvard Square.  Located in the courtyard of the Charles Hotel, our restaurant evokes the simple style of the original Legal Sea Foods that was in nearby Inman Square, Cambridge.  In warmer months our outside patio reels in those who choose the fresh seafood and fresh air combo. 

Or rock the boat find at our downstream Terrace Bar in the lower atrium of Charles Square.  It’s a popular lure in season, open daily mid-April to mid-October from 11:00am to 1am, with light fare available from 11:00am to 11pm.

Legal Sea Foods has long proven that a consistent, high quality dining experience never goes out of style. With over 40 varieties of fresh fish and shellfish available throughout the year as well as an award-winning wine list, there’s no doubt why legions of fans have fallen hook, line and sinker.

We’ve received a boatload of accolades including “Most Popular Boston Restaurant” (Zagat, 2010/2011), “Best Seafood Restaurant” (Improper Bostonian, 2010), “Best Seafood Restaurant” (Boston Phoenix, 2009) and the honor of serving our legendary New England Clam Chowder at every presidential inauguration since 1981.
