If you are looking for an excellent gluten-free dining experience, Legal Sea Foods is it. It’s a restaurant staple in my area, and now, it is a staple for me. I know I can count on being able to eat and eat well at Legal, and while I do, I’ll be in good hands.
My first time eating at Legal was with a friend who worked there and she helped show me the gluten-free ropes. Speak up! They have a separate gluten-free menu which includes naturally gluten-free dishes, modified dishes, and even gluten-free substitutes. Letting them know about my allergy has led my server and the management to acknowledge my sensitivity and let me know that I’m in good hands each time I’ve dined there. I’m always careful to double-check everything out of habit, but knowing that they take this extra step puts me a bit more at ease.
The best part of dining gluten-free at Legal comes at the beginning of the meal — gluten-free rolls and butter! Such a small part of dining out and, yet, it makes all the difference in the world. The rolls are just okay, but always served warm and the novelty can’t be beat. Gluten substitutes can be found in several of the dishes offered in their gluten-free menu like gluten-free croutons, gluten-free crumbs in the Anna’s Baked Boston Scrod, and even gluten-free broth in the light clam chowder.
A creature of habit, I always order the garlic shrimp with brown rice. As they say, if it ain’t broke… This dish is incredibly delicious, I recommend it highly to anyone who enjoys shrimp. My mother is partial to the seafood casserole, which she raves about, and my sister is thankful for a Caesar salad with croutons she can eat. There is an enticing gluten-free chocolate mousse on the menu, however, I’ve always been too full from my superb entree to try it!
Every gluten-free meal is served by a manager to ensure that all dietary needs are met, a true sign of Legal’s commitment to its special menus. The multitude of options offered and ease of eating at Legal have made it one of my favorite restaurants. The great food helps, too. If you are looking for a gluten-free dining experience that is delicious as well as worry-free, Legal Sea Foods is a safe bet.
