In 1968, the first Legal Sea Foods restaurant opened, right next to the fish market. The fish was simply prepared, either broiled or fried, and served on paper plates at communal picnic tables. Despite the low-key trappings, the food was second to none and word quickly spread. This early success led to further expansion; and, ultimately led PPX Hospitality Brands (another Boston-based restaurant company and the parent company to Legal Sea Foods Restaurant Group Inc.) to acquire the corporate facility (Quality Control Center) and 23 restaurants as of December 2020.
Today, the Company maintains its commitment to quality standards, freshness, and the integrity behind the entire pier-to-plate process. We continue to reach for higher standards to set the brand apart from the competition by focusing on people (our employees and guests) and excellence in all that we do. So, when we say, “If it isn’t fresh, it isn’t Legal!,” we renew a commitment that has sustained the brand for over a half-century.
The first LSF in the neighborhood opened back in 1980 at the Park Plaza Hotel quickly becoming the company’s flagship. This new location boasts over 7500 square feet, featuring a full wrap-around bar, open raw bar, expansive lounge and dining areas with plenty of booth seating, a 20-25 seat private dining room and substantial patio dining along the bustling Park Plaza – a first for LSF in this neighborhood! All combined, the restaurant will accommodate over 180 guests inside and an additional 60 outside.
