Great fresh food and views of the golf course while eating. Or waitress was pleasant but forgot to bring our cocktail for 25min after being seated and ordering it. My wife said to relax as I was close to leaving. After getting the drinks and ordering, the food was served way faster at 15-20min. It was an enjoyable dinner all in all. We haven't been here in a while. read more

The worst piece of prime rib I ever had. Had about 4 mouthfuls of mashed potatoes, very small portion and the asparagus was woody. The manager offered me cheesecake which was a nice gesture. read more

We been going to The Legacy for years and today was the first time we been disappointed. I hate writing this but I want others to be cautious. I got the Lake Erie perch which we all have had numerous time but today the fish was FULL of bones. And I mean every bite from every filet had some tiny and some not so tiny bones. I never experienced this anywhere I have ever eaten perch before. Of course I told our waiter and it gets better... he told me fish have bones and that they are eatable! Yep couldn't believe it so in addition to not be able to eat my $26 fish dinner, I get a condescending response to put on my big boy pants and just swallow the fish bones because it comes with their fish dinner and deal with it. They brought me 2 new filets yep the same ... fish bones. Must be a new vendor or kitchen staff that doesn't know how to clean fish. Got a free desert but no eatable dinner. read more

A lovely restaurant with very good food. The Lake Erie perch, prime rib and filet mignon are some of my favorites. One of my top-choice local restaurants. read more

Atmosphere - The restaurant has a large bar and a bunch of four tops. One side is floor to ceiling glass that looks out to an outdoor patio dining area. The restaurant has a club feel to is and the bar patrons are loud enough that conversations are difficult. Service - Decent. Our server was pleasant and attentive. Food - Decent. The menu is pretty limited, but there are a few specials as an addition. I ordered the braised veal only to learn shortly after that they were out of it. It drives me crazy when this happens. First of all, with so few items on the menu how difficult should it be to maintain a reasonable inventory? It was roughly 5:30 pm when we ordered on a Tuesday! There is no excuse for this. Secondly, any decently managed restaurant would ensure that the servers are made aware of any items on the menu that cannot be filled! I then selected the pork and stuffing special. The pork was tender and flavorful.I liked the stuffing as well, but for some people the chorizo sausage included in the stuffing may be a little too spicy. Overall Value - average. The prices were not cheap, the restaurant loud and menu limited. I have no interest in returning. Advice - the restaurant was offering a limited selection martinis for $6. I ordered a dry vodka martini and my wife ordered a chocolate martini. My martini was so bad I returned it. My wife was served a white chocolate (they were out of regular chocolate! Amazing!) and it was warm! Stick to wine and beer! read more

We came as a party of 6 and were quickly seated. We all decided to enjoy a happy hour martini. $6 sounded like a good deal, but when they came, we realized you get what you pay for. They were small, not good vodka, and weren't cold. The atmosphere inside is nice and overlooks the golf course. The menu has everything from salads to sandwiches to entrees. I chose the turkey pretzel sandwich, which was turkey, cheese, tomato and a honey mustard sauce on a pretzel bun. The sandwich was served hot and was very good. It came with fries which were hot and good as well. Everyone was pleased with their meals and service was excellent. We all had dessert and the sorbet was good and the creme brûlée was larger than normal. Overall, excellent service, good food and decent prices. read more

This was my first visit to Legacy. I met several women friends for lunch. It is a beautiful dining room, that overlooks the golf course. Their menu has a nice variety of salads, sandwiches and entrees. I had the Rueben and chose a salad instead of fries. I have eaten a lot of Ruebens and this was one of the best. Our waitress, Linda was nice and very attentive. I will definitely make a return visit. read more

Our good friends took us for a nice early dinner here at Legacy, where the trees were beautifully covered in snow and this picturesque golf course had a wonderful view. We started off with some tasty beverages - the blood Orange Moscow mule was a big winner. Winner winner chicken dinner, which is actually what I ended up ordering. The gents had Manhattans which were poured strong but with just the right amount of cherry juice and topped with Luxardos. We started with the Fried Brussels Sprouts which had a sweet chili sauce on top that was absolutely delicious. The Sprouts themselves were cooked to perfection, still soft but also crunchy, which is critical. The bread was soft and plump but very chewy with a super nice butter spread that complimented it perfectly! For our entrees, we all picked something different. I had the Chicken Gruyere which had gruyere, bacon and onion on top of basmati race and served with MORE Brussels sprouts! The cheese sauce was divine and chicken cooked perfectly. The rest of the group had Surf N Turf, Chicken Picatta & Shrimp Scampi. See the pics for the turn out. Everyone was impressed with their meals and it was radio silent for the first three or four bites lol. Dessert of course couldn't be passed up and we selected strawberry cheesecake and creme brûlée which had the perfect crunchy texture as it should. The cheesecake was rich and stacked adorably, with a nice drizzle on the plate. Ugh. So good!!! I hope to be invited back by George soon! read more

I have always received a great meal for all the years I have been coming Legacy. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked and melted in my mouth. The salad was excellent and the waitress was very attentive. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Extremely rude staff. Staff was disrespectful and mean. Food is ok but not great. Mostly an older crowd. It looks ok inside but would not return. read more

Fondly surprised. Service was great, food and atmosphere was terrific. I'd go there, again.

Service was very good especially the bartender. However, the food that I ordered basically sucked. It was a seafood grill mix with risotto. Little or no taste plain bland rotten. Generally, when I have a seafood that is grilled, there's some sort of sauce that goes with it such as lemon butter or something. The fish was dry as a bone not worth eating. I guess I actually expected it to be cut off in some sort of a bowl with the sauce and the risotto. I have had some good meals there, but this one was not so good. read more

This is a lovely restaurant. The wait staff are super polite. Nice menu with small late options. The setting is relaxing with a golf course view. read more

I have been a continuous customer for business lunches at this hidden jewel in Sweetbriar Country Club. I continue to have excellent meals with great portions, spot on service, a great view of the course,...My clients or customers and fellow co-workers always seem to walk out happy and satisfied with their meal. Never pass up their soup as a starter. They sometimes may seem eclectic, but they are always hearty, hot, and flavorful. Today, my party had a gorgeous scallop salad and the perch sandwich dinner. Excellent! read more

Absolutely terrible service. No one knows what they are doing. The hostess was incredibly rude. Food is not consistent and you never know what your going to get. Lucky they are on a public golf course otherwise they would have been shut down a long time ago read more

Probably should be a ZERO! We were seated in the bar. Given water by the bar staff. Waitress saw us and never acknowledged us. No service for 30 minutes. Came here to spend at least $75. Legacy dropped the ball. Went to rush inn. read more

We made reservations for 24 people for my parents' 60th anniversary. The food was delicious, service was excellent, the restaurant was clean and beautifully decorated, and the waitress was very friendly and helpful. We will be back and we highly recommend this restaurant for any special event or just casual dining. read more

This is a wonderful resturant. A very good menu and some comfort type entrees for the winter. The food is excellent. They even have small plates meals. It is one of our favorite places to dine. There is something for everyone. You can't go wrong eating at the Legacy. read more

Nice ambience and service. Food is average. They have a wonderful staff and great setting but just miss the mark on food. It is average, but nothing stands out and I feel like it should. read more

My husband and I wanted to try this restaurant but they have a sign that states you have to wear golf outfits to go in. We turned around and left ( we were dressed very nicely...oh well) read more

Just returned from a long trip and we stopped by Legacey. Greeted warmly by to find out later the owner who sat us promptly and introduced our server. Great menu, nice setting and great food. We will be back soon. read more

Completely disappointed. - recommended by a few friends - arrived on a Sunday evening around 7:30 Main dining room had a beautiful view of the golf course - small crowd a 12 top on the left side of the windows and a two top on the right with a waitress, an employee sitting at the prime seats at the bar cleaning a cpl of boxes of glassware. He asked if we wanted dinner and if we preferred sitting here in the main room or next store in the smaller room. He said the bartender in the other room would take care of us if we preferred to eat here in the main room. We took a look at the other more casual room Bartender asked if we would like to eat there. We decided to eat in the main room. Asked if she was going to take care of us she said no that a wait person in the main room would take care of us. After at least 10 minutes no one talked to us. The wait person at the two top who was still talking to the customers, she never turned around or checked on the 12 top. The employee sitting at the bar cleaning glasses never said a word as there was one bar stool between us. Finally as I was about to say something to him about service he called over a bus boy. I thought he was telling him to get someone to serve us. Five minutes later we realized that was not the case. I asked for a manager. Before long the bartender from the other room walked up to us and asked what we needed. By this time we decided this was defininetly not the place to eat that evening. There were two occupied tables in the dinning room with two employees a bus boy and a bartender in the next room who could see us at the bar. The main point is that not one person paid any attention, no one was really interested in serving or paying attention to us, or obviously cared. Not sure if this should fall on the the staff or on the management. Bottom line no one paid any attention and no one cared. In you have been here before you know that we were sitting dead center in the middle of the room. read more

Great food, service and atmosphere! I loved my chicken and waffle appetizer so much I've been thinking about it for the past 3 days. I had the perch dinner and really enjoyed that as well. The service was excellent and the view of the golf course is especially beautiful with all the Christmas decorations. read more

I have loved Legacy Restaurant for years! The staff & owners are wonderful people. The perch is excellent, and the atmosphere can not be beat. Beautiful views of the golf course and top notch food! read more

My first time and highly recommend. Food was delicious, service was excellent! Delighted with the overall experience

We held my Son's rehearsal Dinner at this location and I cannot say enough about the people, staff and food. We had the most pleasant experience and were greeted with the best care and efficiency we could have asked for. We highly recommend this facility and know you will receive the best care they offer. Food was delivered at the time we asked and was excellent, our bartender was awesome and took care of everyone' needs, and the staff was right there for anything we needed. So pleased we used Legacy. Thanks for a great experience. read more

Not sure why this place stays open after golf season? Staff never smiles which makes me uncomfortable. For the prices they charge you would think service would be more upscale. Had to ask for more water twice? And how can you bring the dessert tray or check to the table when we still have dirty plates and empty glass around us, not good service. Had the Salmon which was small and dry and the side dishes lacked any creativity. Heard the Prime rib was good, don't know where they eat it at, because it was fatty, dry and tough, like it was 3 days old? Maybe they should just stick to the golf. Don't think I got my monies worth. read more

Wonderful service and delicious food! I made reservations for my grandmother's birthday dinner for a Saturday evening. They were so accommodating and really put a lot of thought into making our dinner perfect. Gail was especially great and made sure that we had a lovely view and a semi-private location for our party of 20. Kelly was our server and she was warm, friendly, and went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable - even giving me candles for the cake! I can't wait to go back again! read more

We went for a birthday party and had a horrible experience. Our food was awesome but we had an issue with our bill. We asked to speak to a manager, he was the rudest most disrespectful person I've ever dealt with. The managers name is Joe and we will never come back while he is there. Great food but an asshole for a gm. read more

Very friendly staff but the food was mediocre at best. More or less insipid 1980s catering fare. At the prices charged, that's unacceptable. As an example, the lamb chops were tough and with a "demi glacé" that tasted like canned brown gravy. The vegetables were what I could make from the supermarket in the microwave. The potato pancakes were tasteless mush with no texture or crispness. The bread before dinner was too garlicky and otherwise unremarkable. A disappointment. read more

Was there today for a quick bite. I had the Reuben. Just the right amount of corned beef, sauerkraut, sauce on great bread. Included fries and only $9. Hard to beat that at a sit down place with quality service. All staff was friendly. This is a must try place. Friday evenings usually have music on the patio between memorial day and labor day. read more

The review is simple- the women/family that runs this place does so as a hobby rather than trying to run this restaurant as a legitimate business. The food is mediocre, the level of disappointment increases as you move up in price point on the menu. My advice- don't order anything on the menu over $20. Service is mediocre, at best. I've eaten there 50x and the poorly trained teeny boppers seem to miss the basics- greetings, refilling drinks, reading your table, etc. I golf a ton so it's just too easy to belly up to the restaurant for a beer and a bite. It's sad because they have made interior improvements and the patio/outside has the makings of being a quality place to visit. The food and service are just so poor and it starts from the top of the organization, Joanne Kopf. read more
