Few could have expected that this cruise ship-sized spinoff from the surf-and-turf-slinging Legal Sea Foods family would somehow wind up a hot, happening meat market. But we’re not complaining. If oysters aren’t your aphrodisiac, harbor views from a four-season roof deck with retractable roof, boozy “adult slushies” spiked with tequila and attractive after-work crowds baited by all of the above will probably do the trick. Insert “plenty of fish” pun here.
