Satur-Date {Legal Harborside}

If you live in, or are visiting the Boston area, and looking for a place with great food, gorgeous views, and a lounge for after dinner drinks, then Legal Harborside is the place to go.

IMG_0634

Located along Liberty Wharf, this 3 story venue has it all.

You’ll find a nod to our heritage on the first floor hull, with a casual menu of seafood favorites with a twist, an oyster bar and an old-fashioned fish market. The second floor dining room offers cuisine prepared with sensible creativity for celebratory eating and private dining events. And those that visit the third floor promenade deck will enjoy a four-season rooftop lounge with a retractable glass roof and walls for cocktails and bites.”

Last night, Matt and I, along with two of our friends, dined at the bar on the first floor before heading upstairs to the rooftop lounge

IMG_0635

Sauvignon Blanc, and my friend Beth’s Sangria, which is one of Legal’s best drinks.

We also ordered Bon Bon’s for dessert, but ate them too quickly to snap a picture.

You’ve seen these chocolate covered ice cream balls before on my table during the holidays.

SO good!

After dinner, we headed upstairs for a few more drinks. I switched to my usual Vodka soda, and enjoyed the scenic view of the harbor and city lights.
