 Legal is one of the best, but not _the_ best.  Yo will probably
 like the one in Park Plaza location.  Do not go to Chestnut Hill
 one - it is more crowded and service is not very good.

 My choice for seafood is Turner Fisheries in Westin Hotel
 on Copley Place - a little more expensive, better service,
 food as good or better, and they take reservations for
 parties less than 6 (unlike Legal).

 Try their poached fish (ask for tapenade) and their salmon fennel soup.
 They know how to make Bloody Ceasar's, too.
 Take your Gold Card, though.  A good dinner will cost you
 $60-80 per nose (with drinks, wine, dessert and tip)

 Enjoy!

 BTW, there is an Eat-in-the rough place called No-Name Restaurant on
 the Fish Piere.  About 12-13 bucks per plate.  No tablecloth
 (but you probably got used to it at Legal).  Fresh fish, though.

 Other options are:
 Sail loft (Commercial Avenue in Boston, Close to Marriott Long Warf)
 Anthony's Pier Four
 Jimmy's

 All are about the same.  Close to Sail Loft on Commercial Street there is
 a chinese restaurant Sally Ling's that is definitely worth your attention
 if you are willing to diverge from seafood for one dinner.
