The Berkowitz family opened a fish market in Cambridge's Inman Square neighborhood in 1950, giving birth to the Legal Sea Foods brand. Customers were granted "Legal Stamps" (forerunners of S&H green stamps) with their purchases at a related family business adjacent to the market at the time, a grocery store called Legal Cash Market. The name "Legal" became linked with excellence and freshness throughout this time. The first Legal Sea Foods restaurant debuted in 1968, directly across from the fish market. The fish was simply grilled or cooked before being distributed on paper plates at communal picnic tables. The Company's commitment to quality standards, freshness, and the integrity of the entire pier-to-plate process remains unchanged today. By concentrating on people (our employees and guests) and excellence in everything we do, we continue to raise the bar and set the brand apart from the competition. So when we declare, "If it isn't fresh, it isn't Legal!" we're reaffirming a dedication that has kept the brand alive for more than 50 years.

The cuisine of 1928 Beacon Hill is traditional American fare from New England. The restaurant has a warm and welcoming ambiance thanks to the presence of antiques, and it serves prohibition-era cocktails within a speakeasy-style setting. For private events, festivities, weddings, and other events can be held privately and in an intimate setting. 1928 Beacon Hill is the ideal location for hosting small-scale public or private events, including weddings and festivities. We have a full bar and serve dinner. Our menu focuses on traditional American cuisine, and the atmosphere of the restaurant pays homage to Jenkins's experience in antiques. The design of 1928 Beacon Hill is composed of three distinct elements in terms of aesthetics: Throughout the years, Jenkins has amassed a collection of antique paintings and wall mounts from the Black Forest, and this collection is on display in the bar and lounge area of the establishment. The room at the back exudes an air of a dark club room with its leather banquettes and seductive lighting, while the section in the middle is decorated in a nautical theme with oars and artwork that focuses on the sea. There are seating options for around 90 diners over the entirety of the restaurant, including 14 at the bar. The proprietor's grandfather was the person who first inspired the owner's interest in the restaurant business, and the restaurant can be seen as a form of monument to the grandfather. In addition to the atmosphere of the restaurant being reminiscent of the 1920s, Jenkins explained that the name of the establishment is a reference to the year that her grandfather was born.
