Legal Harborside
This vast, shiny flagship on Boston’s waterfront is a three-story salute to a local institution. The first floor is a spiffed-up Legal Sea Foods, casual but with more interesting than usual offerings. The second floor houses a high-end restaurant. And the third floor is an immensely popular rooftop bar that people line up for on weekend nights. Yes, Legal has a bouncer. Times have changed – and so has this part of the waterfront.270 Northern Avenue, Boston, 617-477-2900, reserve now, legalseafoods.com
