Legal's Harborside Opening at the Old Jimmy's Harborside Location

A little over two years ago, Boston institution Jimmy's Harborside closed its doors, with talk of Legal Sea Foods opening a new location where the popular seafood restaurant used to be. Now, according to the Boston Globe, WBZ 1030, and other sources, Legal's will indeed be building a new restaurant at the spot on Northern Avenue along the Boston waterfront, though the name of the new restaurant will be Legal's Harborside, in recognition of the restaurant that it replaces.

The Boston Globe mentions that work will start on the site today, with a total of four restaurants being built at this spot. In addition to Legal's, one of the dining spots will be an upscale restaurant called Zed451, which has other locations in Boca Raton and Chicago. While no specific date seems to be given for the opening of Legal's, the Zed451 Web site shows it opening at the site in 2010.

Legal's Harborside will become the flagship of the Legal Sea Foods chain, with three floors of dining, including a roof deck, an upscale area, and a casual section, the Globe says. The total space of the restaurant will be 20,000 square feet.
