Legal Harborside: My First Lobster Roll of the Summer

On Wednesday night, I had plans to meet Kristen, Megan and Meghan at Legal Harborside.  I got stuck in some terrible traffic coming into the city and I was definitely frustrated by the time I got there.  I found them enjoying the summer evening sunshine on the beautiful roof deck and I happily accepted a glass of Seaport Spritzer (prosecco, Italian aromatized wines, and grapefruit) from their pitcher.  Yes, I said pitcher.  Legal Harborside offers pitchers of some of their cocktails on the roof! 

The view was absolutely stunning but I was too busy happily soaking up the sun to take any photos of the atmosphere.  As I started to unwind, I started to get really hungry.  Since the roof currently offers a limited dining menu, we headed down to the first floor to grab some dinner.  There was a long wait for a table on the dining floor.  Our hostess offered us a table in the more casual raw bar and take-out area, which we happily accepted. 

I started out with a bottle of Bar Harbor Blueberry Ale.  I love fruity beers during the summer and this was definitely refreshing.

I haven't had a lobster roll all summer and I was definitely craving one that night.  I figured it was time to give into my summer craving and this lobster roll didn't disappoint.

This classic lobster roll was chock full of lobster meat with a good mixture of claw and knuckle meat.  The lobster wasn't too heavily dressed and it was served on a perfectly grilled and buttered bun.  The fries weren't anything special but it didn't stop me from finishing them all!

Despite battling traffic to get there, I had a lovely time at Legal Harborside.  And I'm glad that I finally had my first lobster roll of the summer!

Tell me, where do you think is the best place in town to get a lobster roll?

Legal Harborside is located at 270 Northern Avenue at Liberty Wharf, Boston, MA.
