    I don't think I've ever written a review this quickly after leaving somewhere. We've just had the most incredible dinner at Legacy for my husband's birthday. We had the water menu - it was perfection. As I said the food was amazing, but the service was faultless. The team that looked after us - Kiera, Hannah, Sam, Lukas and Derek were absolutely wonderful. My husband had a mocktail 'flight' and I had a cocktail 'flight' (expertly made by Kian) to compliment the food - which was an incredible addition to our experience. A definite recommendation and massive thanks for an unforgettable evening.
    Legacy at The Grand, YorkResponded on 16 October 2024
    Good Afternoon Chloe, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a glowing review. We are overjoyed to hear that your husband’s birthday celebration at Legacy was so special. It is wonderful that you enjoyed the water menu, and we are thrilled that the cocktails and mocktails were the perfect complement to your experience. Kian, Ciara, Hannah, Sam, Lukas, and Derek will be so happy to know they made a positive impact on your evening. We truly appreciate your kind words and your recommendation. It was our pleasure to be part of such an important occasion, and we look forward to welcoming you both back for many more unforgettable moments. Kind regards, Kate Cameron F&B Administrator

    Words cannot describe this experience. We had never done a tasting and it was incredible - everything from the intimate location, the very knowledgable and engaged staff, to the food. Go in hungry though, we were there 3.5 hours, had 8 courses and then at the end they brought a complimentary selection fo small desserts and we both felt like Mr Cresote from the Monte Python sketch. Not inexpensive but if you want an experience that will stay with you then this is it!
