I do not like to get negative reviews - but as someone who has come here frequently for 25 years, I have to say such a shame what has happened. Previously our favorite go to, it has declined so rapidly under new ownership and is no longer worth the money. The food is decent to poor - in 25 years never sent anything back now the few times we have tried to go with a positive attitude, things are cold and some not even edible. Portion sizes have changed dramatically. Sadly go elsewhere. You can even tell the staff is not happy - no one smiles anymore. Weird vibe. Big no for us - far better options. read more

I'm sorry I didn't take photographs but I was busy doing some work on my computer when I came in for lunch/dinner. I am not always comfortable dining alone but this experience was exceptional in every way. I was made very comfortable dining alone. I was offered a perfect table and the service was attentive and professional. The courses were on point. A lovely simple salad followed by Norwegian Salmon with forbidden rice and curry drizzle. Everything was prepared perfectly. The service was exceptional. The meal was great. I highly recommend this experience whether you are dining alone or with a party. read more

We came here on Christmas Eve and are finally getting around to writing the review because our experience keeps bugging us. Legends has been our go-to on the North Fork for the past 10 years. We have been there a number of times since the new owners took over and we haven't been impressed, yet we keep trying in the hopes it will improve. Unfortunately, our Christmas Eve visit will likely be our last. Where to start... a member of our party is vegan, there are a number of items on the menu that are indicated as vegan, that are not. We pointed this out and the response was that they were aware and they (the kitchen?) have been trying to get them (the owners?) to fix the menu. This is a biggie for those that rely on this information for allergy purposes. They had a special prix fixe menu along with the regular menu and a member of our party asked if they could get one of the entrees on the prix fixe without getting the app and dessert, as he was not interested in any of the appetizer options. The response was, being it was Christmas Eve and so busy, they could not accommodate this. With that, we looked around at all the empty tables, we were the only ones in the dining room. The food...we started with Oysters Miguel (a variation of Rockefeller) and a huge stuffed mushroom. Both were barely warm (leaning more towards cool in the middle). Entrees arrived, 3 out of the 4 of them anyway, 1 was enjoyed the other 2 were just okay. The waitress mentioned that the 4th entree would be right out. 20 minutes later, when everyone else had pretty much finished eating, the 4th entree appeared. The waitress said she would ask about this getting comped, but that did not happen. Overall, the waitress was non-attentive, my daughter asked for water refills multiple times getting nothing. The bill was over $400 for a mediocre dinner (and experience) at best. Oh, and did I mention $8 for bread and butter? Unfortunately, we will not be returning anytime soon and we now have to find a new go-to place on the North Fork. I really hope the new owners take the many 1 star reviews into consideration moving forward. Disappointing. read more

We loved to come to legends until they changed hands - the staff is still quite pleasant, we love Rainie and Eileen at the bar The food is so hit and miss that you never know what you're going to get. Very disappointing. read more

Really good restaurant in a beautiful, but remote, location. The town is great, just a cute beach town. Legends isn't right on the water, but you get the water view from the front windows. The food is great as well, especially the flounder sandwich that I ordered. Price was good as well since we ordered off the bar menu. The restaurant has a very laid-back, remote-beach vibe, and that does include the service. Our server was very nice, but things take longer than expected for a NY restaurant even if they aren't very busy: preparing the food, waiting for water to be filled, getting the check, etc. read more

Legends boasts the most horrifically rude and dour Manager/ hostess I have ever come across in any restaurant ever, and I mean ever! She seated my party, which included my 92 year old father, at a high top table at the bar. Difficult for him to climb into, but we didn't have a reservation, so we happily accepted the table. Ordered drinks, a few minutes later she storms over to inform us she made a mistake, in fact the table was reserved for 7 PM, and although it was barely 6:30, she demanded the three of us vacate the table. I retorted that she had already seated us, and once you seat someone, you don't ask them to leave the table. She became insistent and loud to the point that the couple at the table next to us felt bad for my elderly dad, and offered their table. Nevertheless, the manager perp walked us out, it was totally humiliating, and made it appear as though we were being booted from the restaurant. No apology, no offer to be seated at the bar and have a complimentary drink, no offer to see about securing another table (MANY were empty, supposedly "reserved",) NOTHING !! Not a good look for Legends to treat a 92 year old, disabled, long time New Suffolk resident like a criminal! I am calling you out, ROSE, as a thoughtless, combative, rude and unsympathetic manager. Shame on Legends for having such an unsuitable person as the manager/ greeter. Revolting! read more

Went here for my friends birthday dinner on a Saturday night at 7:30pm. The restaurant was fairly empty inside but there were tables of people outside. Service was prompt and the drinks were strong. The menu options all sounded so good that we had a hard time picking what to get but everyone was very happy with their meals. For appetizers we got the mozzarella sticks, calamari, fried burrata (we didn't know it was going to be fried but it was good none the less), and the chicken quesadilla. All of which were delicious and immediately devoured. It was a nice little spot but more quiet and intimate than we thought it was going to be. Good for a date night but not for a girls night. read more

Dear Legends, I am writing you from the pit in my stomach that used to be satiated by your food. We knew the hands had changed, but had been anticipating the new menu, with that I must confess; what a shame. I have never ate appetizers that lacked any shred of flavor that disappointed me so tremendously that I couldn't even stomach an entree. Where's Diane's sauce?? I love when I see bao buns on the menu, but what in the wet meatloaf smothered in huntz ketchup was that? Biting off more than you can chew is an understatement, I bit off more than I wanted to chew to be honest. To be fair the sushi did look appetizing, but $19 for a California roll I might as well just go to California. Anyways, RIP to another local restaurant. read more

The prime rib was succulentand seasoned to perfection. The staff accommodated our part of 12 with ease. Recommend this venue.

Good food Great service Location perfect Tv's are plentiful Soup excellent Clean Fun environment read more

Nice cozy bar and separate dining area with a great view of the bay. We had the blackened Ahi. Sashimi, (beyond delicious) calamari salad and poke bowl. Loved every bite. The bartender/waitress was pleasant and helpful. Loved the whole experience. read more

Legends is just not the same local restaurant. Food was good. Waitress Kathy was very nice. They had a coupon so we tried it again. They choose the dish that they give you 1/2 price on and not the most expensive one. It's sad when you have to pay extra for a piece of bread. Not included with your salad or entree. We will never come again and probably the old regulars will never come either. The new owners changed the old culture of the restaurant which shows many empty seats. No surprise read more

This place never disappoints, great service, great food, just awesome vibe all together. They accommodated us amazingly when I came there with my 2 little kids, and they accommodated us perfectly when we came there for our date night. One of my favorite places in the North Fork. Thank you guys for the great memories and amazing food! read more

Legends Restaurant - Great times in Lagends as always! - Sports Bars Near Me - New Suffolk, New York

Terrible food. It has gone down hill since the new owners have taken over. Smaller portions and higher prices.

I have been going to Legends since they opened and their food and service is just wonderful. It is family friendly and fun. The owner takes the time to go each table himself to make sure everything is going smoothly and deals patiently and attentively to each and every customer. Watching sports games there is the best! But they are also so active in giving back and supporting the community. The atmosphere is upscale and yet you feel like you are in your neighborhood bar/restaurant! The best place in town! read more

It's fine if you have nowhere else to go and nothing else open. Then I'd say go. But otherwise skip this place. The grilled octopus was rubbery, the salmon was overcooked and dry, and the steak, which we asked for medium, had ventured beyond well into cardboard land. Topped if off with warm chocolate cake? Why was it warm? The bartender was fun to talk to and we had interesting conversations with other patrons but the food is not worth a 2nd trip for me. read more

Love the food and atmosphere! Always a great time here. The bar is inviting and cozy.

The food choices were amazing.... the service was top notch as we were waited on by Emily. The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming too. We will definitely be back!!! read more

Worst sushi I ever had - and for 3 people $250 not worth it at all - don't mind spending money on good sushi but this was not worth half. The tuna tare tare was basically tuna with bad hot sauce on it - the mochi also over priced and was mushy. Not going back - read more

I moved away from Cutchogue 10 years ago and was excited to return to my favorite North Fork restaurant. It was every bit as good as I remember...perhaps even better! I'm a true foodie and a really tough critic. Trust me, this is place you want to go to. It's simply the best restaurant on the North Fork, hands down! read more

Five stars for Legend's.. As a local No Fo girl, I truly believe that Legend's is by far the best tasting, most exotic food available to locals and No Fo tourists, alike! Loved the fresh Swordfish with Pesto, the New Suffolk Chowder is a unique recipe, tomato based with a slight zing to it, to die for! My FAV for lunch, the Rocket Salad, all farm to table ingredients, 3 types of beets, love the healthy feta cheese, walnuts, cranberries over arugula! Save room for dessert... My preferred choice last week was the peanut butter and dark chocolate decadence, worth every extra ounce I gained, eating it! I can't wait to return to Legends! Kudos to the kitchen staff, my server, Whitney, host was Nancy. First class service and exceptional cuisine, a win/win all around the clock! read more

Been going to Legends for several years. Was disappointed that service was poor. Children running through bar area playing tag. Food took forever to come out. Waited 18 minutes for bar tender to even acknowledge that we were standing there. Not sure I will return, read more

Everything we ordered was really good. Great ambience on the dining room side, intimidate environment. Love the calamari and baked clams. Waitress was very friendly. read more

One of our favorite local go-to's. Consistently high quality and fresh offerings, well-prepared cocktails, upscale crowd and reasonable noise levels make this a favorite. Don't miss the Hawaiian chicken salad. read more

The appetizers were fabulous. The raw oysters were fresh, mild with a soft texture that melted in your mouth. The sauces were perfectly paired with them. The calamari was delightful in a light oil, lemon, garlic and pepperoncini dressing. Baked clams were filling. I can't wait to get back here for a second round. read more

Good service, delicious marinade on our steak and great ambience. We enjoyed the buratta appetizer too. Parking can be a pain, but there's always spots a short distance away. read more

Good food and the servers are great. We had steaks, Brussels sprouts, oysters, and a Cesar salad. The Cesar salad was delicious. Brussels were the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. Steaks were cooked medium rare. They also have a bar menu that is super kid friendly. read more

Went to legends and had home made cocktails crafted by Tim the bartender. Chatted with him and he educated us on mixology. He's a true legend in the making. read more

A North Fork staple and local favorite spot. Go chic and quiet in the dining area or cozy sports bar in the pub area. Friendly service. Pad Thai is a favorite but there is everything from burgers to elaborate and delish specials. Come for a drink and apps at the bar, a burger, or an intimate dinner. You won't be disappointed! read more

An excellent experience all around. Food was clearly prepared by a talented chef, very tasty. We had mussels in broth, tuna tartare, goat cheese salad, calamari, fish and chips. The service was top notch. And what a lovely setting, quiet, beautiful view of the waterfront. Highly recommend read more

Our beloved Legends is under new management! Same friendly ambiance in the bar area however, smaller portions & higher prices! Bread for the table costs extra ( so does cheese on your burger!) Really? Just not the same anymore read more

Diane knows what she's doing! She was made to do what she does. Having worked as a busgirl here for four years, I was treated well as an employee and even after. Having been behind the scenes, I can attest for their cleanliness. The food is always delicious! I'm more of a pub menu and pub budget type girl- but what's unique and clever about Legends, is the fact you get both pub and posh here. Many moons ago, when smoking inside still existed, the smoking side was one of the only restaurants that had the proper ventilation. specifically, I believe there are fans above the bar that would move the smoke out in the dead of winter. That alone is a classic example of how Diane and Dennis do things. They don't cut corners. They treat everyone the same. Most of all, they never forget a face. read more

My boyfriend took me here for our 3 year anniversary and the food was absolutely amazing. The waitress asked us if we wanted a bread basket, and we couldn't pass up on that offer. The bread came out so warm and there were these (flax?) seed biscuits. The butter that came with the bread was so creamy and enough for the bread basket. I ordered the short ribs and he ordered the salmon with some coconut curry sauce. The short ribs could be better with more sauce but it was still good nevertheless. The service we had was immaculate, being that I used to work in a restaurant, our waitress was far and beyond and always were attentive to our needs. We got the Mint Lemonade, which was too minty but it masked the alcohol so if you aren't big on alcohol, this one is for you! We also got the Watermelon Margarita, which tasted good with the lime but this was more alcohol-y. Then I got tipsy lol. It was past closing time already but we weren't ready leave this gem we found. We ordered desserts: Peach Praline and Brownie Sundae with Blackberry Goat Cheese. For the peach praline, I would suggest ice cream to go with it as the dessert itself gets too sweet after a few bites. The dessert was really good, fresh peaches and the crust tasted amazing. We weren't really sure how the brownie sundae would taste, considering it had goat cheese but it actually paired pretty nice. It tasted like a brownie cheesecake, and the ice cream paired with it was delicious. read more

What a fantastic find! Food was wonderful, every bite. Service top notch and nice environment. One side TV's and a separate side for a quieter meal. Right off the water which made for a nice little walk to the water after dinner. read more

Sushi is amazing great service best bartender Eileen!! Good local find! Great bar atmosphere, plenty of choices on the menu, will be back.

A Must try revamped menu! THE best sushi I've had in years. Superb. Resy does not seem to work for them right now [said there were no tables and there was plenty of space] so call for a table. There are 2 menus in the restaurant - the regular one which is still very nice and the sushi menu which is a local. modern twist along with some traditional offerings. The fish is top grade, prepared by a true expert. Service friendly and attentive. read more

We came back to a familiar place that is under new ownership. Thankfully, our favorite server, Kathy, is still there and is as nice as ever. The menu has changed, but the selections were very appealing and they have added a sushi bar and menu as well. We met the Sushi Chef, Michael and he was really knowledgeable and creative. The sushi was outstanding and unbelievably fresh. For our entree's, my wife had salmon and I had tuna and both were delicious. We ate in bar area and it is as warm and inviting as it always was. We will definitely Legends back into our regular rotation. read more

Best oysters food always good either bar menu or full restaurant menu. Tuna Napoleon App. 2 restaurants in one read more

Great food and drink, can get a bit noisy, but its a sports bar if ya know what I'm saying. There is a separate dining room if you don't like to watch sports, and want less noise. Ive been going there for years, its not cheap, but I never had a bad meal there. Good Service even when it gets busy. read more

We have been to legends a number of times as we have a weekend home nearby and we often take our guests there as well unfortunately that will no longer be the case. We decided to stop in for lunch yesterday directly from new Suffolk beach dressed in t-shirts and shorts (perhaps it was off putting but by no means inappropriate ) , my husband arrived first and requested a table he described being met with an unpleasant demeanor from the young waiter and hostess , the waiter proceeded to say "yeah ok this way man". As we were meeting my husband there he decided to stay and see if the attitude was going to change during service unfortunately it did not .... We were a party of 3 adults and 2 children we ordered cocktails a number of apps and food for the kids (and were planning to move to entrees) when my husband ordered a beer the same waiter took the order and proceeded to not fulfill the request for the beer rather went and sat with the hostess again to socialize , my husband waited a few minutes and approached him about the beer at which point he got up to get it non apologetic .... When my husband addressed the attitude he had been getting since we entered the responses were indifferent we asked for the check paid in cash (we're not provided change as it was assumed it was the tip ) clearly we would have tipped regardless but the change is returned regardless for the patron to then leave a tip ) we spent 200 dollars which easily would have become 300 had we stayed for entrees but felt it was not the setting we wanted to be in . Upon leaving the waiter yet again said "yeah ok have a good day man " I'm not asking for sir but "man" doesn't seem appropriate. As far as food it is good but overpriced at the rate you expect impeccable service which it lacked read more
