Legal Sea Foods Chestnut Hill

Our birthday party of 10 had dinner at the Chestnut Hill Davios on Monday. It was a quiet night at the restaurant, and they made a lovely party for us. First, the room. The restaurant is on the second floor so feels bright and airy. The table is steakhouse-proper, good white linens, glasses and silver. After we sat down baskets of big popovers came, plenty for everyone, with butter. It is a solid steakhouse menu, To start the kitchen split a Caesar for my husband and me, and correctly gave me all the silver anchovies. The menu is broad. I ordered roasted cod and my husband, grilled shrimp, but at our end of the table others ordered a flatiron steak, and short ribs. All the dishes were well plated, the main nicely presented with properly done sides. The green bean and asparagus sides were generous and well seasoned. For dessert there was a birthday cake, of course. It was a beautiful chocolate cake, dressed with candles and a birthday wish. Very nice. We didn't order drinks but I must say the water on the table was a surprise. They must have terrific filters because it was sparking clean, a detail but so good. There's plenty on the menu for vegetarians and gluten free diners. Although the room is formal, children would be happy here, too. Service was professional, brisk and pleasant, There is an elevator to the second floor, and the restaurant is handicap accessible. There's plenty of mall parking, plus handicap parking right by the entrance.

Wow. I recently planned a wedding rehearsal dinner that doubled in size shortly before the event. Alix stepped it up and made it happen. Several guests had celiac and other allergies. Not a problem, the fantastic chef and pastry chef adjusted menus and created one of the best GF AND DF chocolate cakes I've ever had. The salmon entree is a must-have. Excellent, attentive gracious waitstaff was the icing on a beautiful meal and event. Heads up, this restaurant shares an entrance with a movie theatre. No worries, take the elevator to your right or go up the escalators to the second floor. Enjoy this slice of heaven, called the wine room.

Good spot. Pretty big dining area with more expansive seating in the back along the windows. Service was what you'd hope for a higher-end steakhouse. Strip steak was good. Calamari is also very good, especially with the aioli. Large menu options for food and an enormous and diverse wine list.

So the broccoli should be cut a bit) into bites. the pieces were too big. the brokkoli was barely boiled, so it was difficult to cut. the garnels in the shrimp cocktail were hard, not as good as I expected.

The new menu items are pretty good. I had the nuts rubbed salmon over farro and it was an excellent dish. the restaurant was full, but not loud.
