Food was ok. Service was lazy. Was never asked if I wanted another drink. And at 10 a pop they drive up the tab and tip quick. Server started off super bubbly but then was irritated and could barely wait to hear any requests after we placed our initial order. Next time I will go to Legal's roof deck. They must survive on how good it used to be.

The place is fun and family friendly. The food is delicious. The selection is good. The cons are that there has always been a wait and the prices are high but that is to be expected with the aforementioned.

I took my kids to The Barking Crab in south Boston and the waitress came up to us three times asking if "we're sure we want to eat this 10 pound lobster" we said yes all three times. She asked if we know the price and I said yes, sometimes I wonder why people are so racist (we're the only black people here). " just because we are black doesn't mean we broke or we can't eat lobster " ��

Go here once a year now for several years in a row. Always try to sit at the inside bar as outside is often super busy and loud. Food is good, some might say pricey but its all about location. The thing I will mention is that because it is so busy it can be hit or miss with customer service.

Was pretty cool except the soda had a funky taste from not cleaning the lines
