Great spot right on the water. If it's warm out, great outdoor patio. A little pricey, but a happening place with great bar and decent menu...younger upscale crowd hangs here. Just found out on Friday and Saturday nights, MUST make reservation or will not get seated. This is a trendy happening spot and has become very popular.

This is in the seaport district, not east boston. Legal Seafood is a great chain in the Boston area with locations that are closer than this one to the unit. Legal Harborside is listed here as a destination spot. Take the water taxi from the Eddy to this restaurant and back for a fun adventure. Make reservations at opentable.com or just try your luck.
