Such a great place. It was my first visit, my better half having eaten there several times. I had the crab roll. Very good with fresh slaw, seaweed salad, and excellent bread. Outstanding!!!

It was tough to pick something to order from the menu. The food was OK; nothing special. We went to McCormick & Schmidt's (sp) the next night and were much happier.
It was so noisy. Our table was small and so close to other tables that the server could not get in between.
The selection of alcohol was marginal.

Excellent seafood! We ate here one night and returned the next night as it was so good! The Maryland crab cakes were the best I've ever eaten. Make sure you have reservations as the restaurant is very popular and not huge.

The food was just okay. The restaurant was horribly loud, so noisy that I could not hear the person directly across the table. Orders take a long time to get to the table.

Restaurant was quite noisy and our table area not conducive to socializing since there was a banquet on one side of long table and chairs on the other. Food was good with lots of seafood platters, as one would expect at a Legal Seafood branch. Service was very good for...

Ate at the bar & had the special - flounder w/ crab topping in sauce - UNREAL. Get there early, as this is a place where many meet for dinner. Location is great - at the foot of crystal city across from the Hilton.

I grew up in Connecticut and one of my fondest food memories is of a seasonal, picnic table seating, fried clam shack in nearby Mass. that was a special treat for dinner if we were good! Most seafood places outside New England don't serve the full-bellied Ipswich fried clams I periodically crave. Legal Sea Foods does so when my sister...
