Legal Crossing is an urban neighborhood restaurant inspired by the vibrancy of Downtown Crossing, then and now.  It's a cross between all of the Legal Sea Foods concepts, evolved into a new, singular experience.

The menu showcases the freshness and purity of our seafood.  Tried-and-true favorites from all the Legal Sea Foods concepts (Legal Sea Foods, Legal Test Kitchen, Legal C Bar and Legal Harborside, Floor 1 and 2) - evolved by preparation and/or presentation - along with exclusive offerings, comprise the menu mix.  At the same time, we’re shaking things up with our cocktails.  Many of them are a playful nod to Downtown Crossing’s colorful past, while the influence of Chinatown is seen in some of the exotic ingredients used.

Inspired by the urban setting of its neighborhood, Legal Crossing is slick, dark and modern with glossy, black brick paired with glowing amber glass.  Our lounge comprises half the restaurant while our dining room overlooks the open kitchen. In warmer months, we open our patio along Avenue de Lafayette.
