Had a fantastic meal last night. The service was amazing and the every element of the food was delicious. I can't recommend this place enough. Thank you to all the staff for making an enjoyable evening
Very cool experience. There are very few tables in the space, so it was an intimate experience. Our server knew the menu inside and out, and was clearly passionate about providing the best possible evening. We enjoyed the tasting menu, and each item that came out was a conversation piece. We added the prestige wine pairing, but it *may* have been a bit too much wine for our table. All in all DEFINITELY worth it, and for us - a great way to reconnect with friends we hadn't seen in years.
We have been to Legacy twice and both times we have had an amazing experience. We are both vegetarian and find that options are usually underwhelming compared to meat options in fine dining restaurants. That is not the case in Legacy however, the vegetarian options are fantastic and well thought out. The wine pairing is essential as well IMO, the sommelier is nothing less than a genius and a master of their craft.
My partner and I visited for the water tasting menu on Friday night, and had an amazing experience. The food was delicious, but the service made it an incredible experience. The staff were so lovely and we enjoyed great conversations with both our waitress and waiter.
Amazing fine dining experience, worth every penny, very attentive service, stunning food, very fancy decor , highly recommended
One of the best meals I’ve had all year. The service was impeccable. Polite, friendly, informative. The food was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. The only thing I didn’t eat was a small piece of fruit bread with the cheese course. The wine pairing was outstanding. Sam really knew his stuff and took me on a journey. A lovely chap to talk to as well and gave me some great other local recommendations. I would definitely return.
Our third visit and after eating across europe at a number of Michelin rated restaurants, our absolute favourite restaurant by far. The culinary skill is sublime, the menu is focused, well balanced and truely satisfying. The classic wine flight was beautifully balanced, perfectly on point yet full of interest. The service is impeccable, engaging and friendly - they are passionate about their product and carry a huge pride in what they are offering. Derek the sommelier is just a joy- approachable, full of knowledge and clearly passionate about his incredible wine list. Ask and he will deliver the perfect wine for your pallette - the best sommelier iI have ever encountered. The ambience is intimate and comfortable yet the room has a gentle buzz rather than being overly formal. The timing between courses and the pace of the evening was perfect. A fabulous, fabulous restaurant so deserving of formal recognition. Thank you to all the staff for making yet another incredible occasion and a treasured culinary experience.
Dining at Legacy in York was nothing short of exceptional. The food was outstanding, beautifully presented, perfectly balanced, and packed with flavor. I am also gluten free and I did not feel left out at all as both my partner and I, while having a couple different dishes, were blown away by every bite. What truly elevated the experience, though, was the service. It was warm, attentive, and effortlessly professional without ever feeling stiff or overbearing. A special mention has to go to restaurant manager Samuel Holding, who was phenomenal. His genuine passion, attention to detail, and welcoming presence made the evening feel personal and memorable. He even followed up with an email detailing all the delicious wines we had. Its a complete dining experience! Incredible food, exceptional service, and a team that clearly takes pride in what they do. Easily one of the best dining experiences in York.
Just fabulous! We are staying at the Grand in York and it was my husband's birthday and we wanted to celebrate at this fabulous restaurant! The whole evening from start to finish was amazing! They have three levels of the prefixed menus.We decided to go for the second one and also had the wine pairing which was a great decision as the wines were perfectly paired with each course! It started with some canapes and then we had some brioche style bread with some delicious butters! Every course was spectacular! The service was impeccable as well. I would highly recommend this place.
My 3rd time visiting legacy last night and it was incredible as always. The service was friendly and attentive, beautifully decorated restaurant, every single dish well thought out and expertly crafted, and handpicked wines to perfectly match each dish. The red mullet and lamb dishes were a highlight for me
