Legal Assets is a fine restaurant serving up classic yet inventive Easter Shore dishes. Everything on the menu is familiar and elevated by the Chef and kitchen staff, which will satisfy a wide variety of palates. Why I encourage you to dine at Legal Assets is for the service. Particularly Shelby - our server for the evening. She is kind, funny, playful, knowledgeable, quirky, attentive, and conscientious. What this translates to is Shelby elevated our dining experience, and we are thankful to have crossed her path. I rarely compliment or review the front of the house. Mainly because most of them lack basic restaurant skills; food preparation knowledge; customer service; and are generally void of a personality. Restaurateurs - When your servers think a bouillabaisse is a cream soup, it's your fault - do better. So back to Shelby. Words of flattery cannot fully describe how outstanding our experience was as we were attended to through a multi-course meal. To this point, you will have to reserve a table at Legal Assets and experience for yourself. And if you are lucky, you may be sat within Shelby's section for a joyful time. read more

If you ask me -- but you didn't, and I'll tell you anyway! -- Legal Assets is the place to go to treat yourself and your friends and guests. We're nowhere near finished exploring the menu; we find new favorites every time we're there! Today it was the cream of crab soup, the tuna sashimi with all the right trimmings, And a smashburger. All outstanding! We left no "room" for dessert, so brought home their peach bread pudding for tonight. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We dined on the porch on this perfect day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All the staff are kind and thoughtful. Easton -- and ourselves! -- is truly blessed to have this gem in our midst. Thank you! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]First of all, this is a dog friendly restaurant with outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]So we were able to enjoy our lunch with our baby.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was excellent. One of the specials- blackened swordfish on a brioche bun was really good. The fish was so fresh and beautifully cooked. The chef even gave our baby (a chihuahua mix) a home made treat, which our baby loved. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great service, great ambiance and a clean bathroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I was attracted to the menu options and couldn't decide between a cauliflower dish, a seafood dish or a chicken sandwich. I think the problem is that I choose the wrong dish. The chicken sandwich was supposed to come with a peach sauce but the smoked Bbq flavor drowned out any hit of peach. That wasn't really the problem though. The chicken was so dry I had trouble swallowing it. The fries that accompanied the sandwich were great and the waitress and atmosphere were excellent though. read more

I was happy to have discovered this local restaurant that uses quality ingredients for a nice dinner out when I was searching for an alternative to the booked up Wardroom (and Bas Rouge was more than what we wanted to spend that night). For reservations, they don't use any of the popular reservation platforms, so I called their number to schedule a reservation. Fortunately, I was able to make it for the same day- Friday evening, no less! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is in a house, and they asked me if we were okay with the second floor (bearing in mind there are stairs). There are two rooms on the second floor with a several tables in each, and there were people, so we weren't isolated. There is also a restroom located on the second floor, so you don't have to go down the stairs to use the restroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We parked across the street in a public parking lot. We received complimentary (warm) bread and butter! You don't see that much anymore. We started off with drinks. I had the Korean spicy margarita, which I loved, and my husband had the strawberry rhubarb cider, which was also good. The menu offers many choices for both appetizers and entrees. We ordered two appetizers- the Asian beef lettuce wraps (3 lettuce wraps- when you're a party of 2 or 4, that number is annoying!) and the short rib ravioli. Both apps were wonderful. For entrees, don't forget the specials. We ordered the soft-shell crab special and also the duo of duck off the entrees menu. The vegetables in both dishes were fresh, and the sauces were complimentary to the mains. Close to being unable to eat any more, but we simply had to close the fantastic dinner with desserts. I ordered the lemon semi-freddo and my husband ordered the flourless chocolate cake, and both passed the taste test. We were pleased with the attentive service, food, and vibes, and would keep this place in mind when we come back to this area! read more

Wait ! Am I in Charleston? architecturally stunning reminds me of Husk, or Magnolias ! This is the kind of house I want to live in! Beautiful house with lots of light and checked the menu outside the door and I'm stoked for the seafood risotto, and crème brûlée. Excitingly we wait for our table at the hostess stand and I see the most beautifully presented food coming from the kitchen and it's elevating my desire to eat here ! Nope. Not going to happen today . Insert sad face . The hostess can offer a table without the bright sunlight or people watching view behind the hostess's stand. We decided to get a seat at the bar and have a drink to wait for a table up front. But nope the bar is full ! TIL I will make a reservation next time! FWIW read more

I frequently visit this place and never had this problem before until tonight when I order the rack of lambs and the which came with bus and sprouts and some potato. The potato was tasteless the lab was burnt and I asked for a medium well they the chef didn't blamed the brightness or been closed in a plastic container. My brussel sprouts were so black and burnt that all this all you can taste was the burdeness of it all was unsatisfied especially after paying $49 for meal that I could not eat. after contacting the restaurant the chef blamed the car ride home and said that was why my food was not up to par and was burnt which i dont understand how a plastic container burns food and drys it out to the point I couldn't even bite the meat. only agreed to give me back brussel sprouts and that was it when the whole meal literally was unedible. read more

I went to happy hour with a friend and tried Legal Assets for a change. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bartenders were personable , friendly and helpful, but so loud our heads were pounding.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a smash burger to go with extra patty, $5 extra . When I got home there was only one burger, a gray Mc Donalds like frozen patty. I called the restaurant and really nothing to be done at this point. I know they have a great reputation but I will be returning to Docs Downtown Easton where consistently great read more

It was perfectly prepared. I will return! read more

We have been to Legal Assets a few times and it is amazing. Our friend came to visit us and we took her there for a birthday dinner. We had the mussels appetizer, which was delicious. My husband had the steak Diane and my friend and I had the fabulous rockfish. We also enjoyed cocktails and got a birthday treat for her. Our server, Lilly, was super nice and attentive.

First of all this afternoon in Easton was sunny, 75 and humidity free! Legal Assets is in a converted something to a wonderful restaurant with an inside dining area and a gorgeous patio perfect for a day like today! I had the salmon blt and...wow! The bread was toasted perfectly and the salmon and home cut bacon were a perfect combination and I give it a big yummy! The grain bowl was yummy also! The French onion soup was hearty and very tasty. Crab cakes...hardly any filler and we are in Easton so the crab cakes have to be the best...and they were! The service was great and you gotta go and take your mind off life for a while and this is a place to do it. I could retire here! Kudos to Legal Assets! I am coming back and it's my go to when I am in the neighborhood! read more

Always looking for something local on the way to the beach. Stopped here based on the fabulous reviews. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a charming old house converted into a restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great server and the food shined. The KFC, Korean Fried Chicken sandwich, recommended by the waiter was outstanding. The fries really shined as well. The ravioli appetizer was delicious. Plenty big for a main meal. Nice beer and wine selection to match the food. Recommended! read more

The service and food are always AMAZING. We've never had a bad meal here. The steaks are always cooked (and seasoned) perfectly , the servers & bartenders are always friendly and attentive. Try the short rib or the filet mignon! read more

Food was amazing. I had a cup of the New England clam chowder. It was SO delicious. I also ordered the seafood paella. It was a little salty and I wasn't crazy about the calamari in it. My husband ordered the stuffed rockfish and raved how good it was. Service was great. Friendly staff. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cozy atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only issue we had was back at home. My son tried the calamari that I brought back and my husband also had some. That was the only thing we all 3 ate the same of and had bad stomach issues that same night. Must've been some bad calamari. I would give this place another shot and steer clear of the seafood. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great cozy sophisticated atmosphere and good service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu offered standard fare and it delivered what was expected but it's a little too formulaic and boring for the high prices. I wanted things a little more gourmet. Recipes were developed to be easily reproducible and profitable I think and are absolutely standard- no chef doing interpretations here. If you like absolutely standard and good tasting this place is for you. If you like nouveau, being wowed by food, and envelope pushing than no. Generous servings of protein. We had paella, mushroom risotto with short ribs, and empanadas. Don't know if we'd return. read more

Can I say this place was a true gem. From good service to good food. This is hard to find now and days. Also.... Some of the BEST French onion soup I have EVER had. I wish I could get the recipe. Prices are a bit high, but at least the food and service was good. read more

Really enjoyed our first visit after attending a function in nearby St. Michael's. Recommended by a friend. Just a wonderful menu, especially a starter menu that easily doubles as a lite fare menu, a "tavern" menu for lunch augmented by an entree menu at 5pm. Food prepared excellently, I had soup de jour and the Baked Oysters (Starter menu!) after sharing a couple appys with another couple. Several duck choices. Mexican dishes. Multiple salads. Asian dishes. On and on. Friendly attentive service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ate on 2nd floor in what was once a house, so cozy and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Separate bar area too. Anxious to return. read more

Wow great place. We were recommended by a neighbor and he was right on point. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was lovely with tables and high top tables and seats at the long bar area which you can eat dinner at.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My wife and I sat at a high top near the bar. Are server greeted us and told us the specials and took a drink order. We ordered a salad to split and I had the seafood paella and my wife had the chicken bow ties. For desert we split the homemade gelato pans my wife had a speciality coffee. Everything was cooked perfectly and the homemade bread was delicious. We will definitely be going back again for dinner. Might be a good idea to make reservations place was busy. read more

My wife and I were in the area and Legal Assets was suggested by a friend - glad we went. Very nicely decorated maybe a little loud but not to the point that it was annoying - easy to have a conversation. Good size menu with lots of options - we decided to order a few appetizers and split them as our meal. We did the Korean cauliflower, Nachos and spring rolls. I also had the crab soup special which was phenomenal as were the spring rolls. The nachos with also very good. The cauliflower had a nice flavor maybe a little light but was enjoyable. The service was outstanding - everyone was very nice and incredibly attentive. read more

This is a great place for a special occasion or just a great meal. The service has been impeccable every time we go here. Always get a reservation as you may not get to enjoy it otherwise, especially on weekends. It's very cozy and clean, with nice decor. The menu has lots of options, so whether you're concerned about gluten or looking for vegetarian, you'll find something great. A number of seafood options, all delicious. The bar is well appointed and has many great options, including several special non-alcohol beverages. Price wise it's not cheap but the food is exceptional. I don't give a lot of five stars but I think they deserve it! read more

Food was excellent! Staff was fantastic and made great recommendations! Both owners came around to talk to the tables which is always a nice touch.
