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.

It was so fun to see you! I loved the lobster roll, but I have to say that Neptune's is my favorite in Boston!

Yum! I had a lobster roll at Island Creek Oyster Bar and it was amazing!

Megan said...

I haven't found the best place in town for a lobster roll yet, but I think I need to try Neptune Oyster since they have hot, buttery lobster rolls!

It was great to see you, and I'm glad you battled the traffic to get there... though I wish there hadn't been any traffic for your sake. It was nice visiting with you and getting a little sun and sea breeze. :)

It's not summer until you get that first lobster roll down! Sounds like you guys had a great time!

That lobster roll does look really good! I definitely need to check out the views there.

I LOVE lobster rolls! I had my first of the season at PJ's in Wellfleet when we went out to the cape earlier this summer. My favorite lobster roll in Boston is a toss up between Neptune oyster and B&G Oyster's Lobster BLT.

Roof deck and pitchers definitely sound like a lot of fun! Lobster roll looks awesome.

that one looks great, I hate traffic. I always fight it in SoCal.

Susan said...

That is a great question! I haven't had one in ages. That looks delish!

Kerstin said...

Mmm, lobster rolls just make me so happy :) Looks like the perfect place to enjoy your first one this year!

That looks delicious! I've actually never had a lobster roll, so I couldn't suggest any place myself but maybe you could to me? =)

Was it rush hour? Boston congestion, ugh!
Glad you made it out of that traffic to enjoy a lovely time with your friends on a beautiful day (with good food and drink).
