Where to begin? It was all so good. Super preparation in advance to be ready for my daughter’s birthday lunch. Balloon, cake, singing… all was made ready. Even though we were late arriving, the welcome was warm. The staff made us feel at home straightway. Menus are extensive with so much choice and the staff are happy to offer guidance. Food was amazing. Some of the highlights: lobster salad was chock full of meat and very tasty. Pakora starter was very tasty Steak was just so! Puddings were all very indulgent And the birthday cake was a huge hit with my daughter. All in all, a superb lunch!!! Can’t wait to come back.

**An Exceptional Dining Experience** We had a fabulous evening at The Legacy at The Grand, York, enjoying the Steel Food Journey paired with the Classic Wine Flight. The food was exceptional, with every course beautifully presented and a real pleasure to experience. What truly made the evening stand out, though, was the unbelievable service from the team - special mention to Ale, Sam, Emily & Ben. Their attention to detail, genuine warmth and willingness to go the extra mile, with thoughtful little touches throughout the evening, made the whole experience feel even more special. A wonderful combination of outstanding food, excellent wines and service that goes above and beyond. Highly recommended for a truly memorable dining experience!

Booked here for a birthday meal, I made the mistake of looking at the sample menu online so was a bit disappointed that there were no scallops on the menu. We were surprised with the range of starters, given its a fish/ seafood restaurant only two of the starters were seafood. Better choice for the main course. We both had hake and it was beautifully cooked. Waitress was wonderful, very kind and attentive, offered to take the wine we had chosen back and swap it for something else. The wine list is wholly Australian / New Zealand so flummoxed us a bit as were used to drinking European wine. Overall a nice evening

The menu has changed since our last visit and included one or two new dishes, Seabream which my wife loves and duck breast , one of my favourites. One of the nice things about this venue is that staff who remember us from previous visits come over to talk to us even if they are not serving our part of the restaurant. Never disappoints.
