Legacy Bar & Grill

My fiancé, another couple, and I had dinner here on a weekend evening, before a Mardi Gras ball. The décor was beautiful, and our helpful server brought we ladies little tuffets to rest our purses on, which was a brilliant idea, and so cute! We explained that we doesn’t want to eat so much as to have belly-​bloat in our gowns, and after suggesting wonderful cocktails based on our liquor preferences, the server guided us into the best of their small plates and appetizers menu. The food was perfectly prepared and seasoned with a light but flavourful touch. The server suggested some menu favorites that we might want to try on the next visit, as they are heavier but are must-​tries. I will definitely be back! It was a perfect experience, in large part due to our server, who understood our needs perfectly and helped us to start our evening in just the way we had planned. Great job, Legacy! And PS: the drink names (each for a local musician) are a nice touch! I loved my Eric Erdman!

My fiancé and I had dinner here and had an awesome experience. The food was great, and the service was superior. I look forward to going back.

I owned and ran several fine dining restaurants in California, Nevada, and Texas before retirement. I have looked all over southern Alabama and Mississippi for a decent place to eat since I’ve been in this area. I thought I would try Legacy the atmosphere seemed simular to my restaurants. WORST mistake I’ve made lately. The service was atrocious, the food was absolutely terrible, and management could care less. I waited 20 minutes and couldn’t even get anyone to come to my table. It seems like most patrons are dissatisfied as am I how do they stay in business?

Had a wonderful time and a beautiful meal! Chris, our server, made great wine and food suggestions. We were not disappointed at all. Will definitely come back!

Best Seafood and Filets. Ask for the special it’s usually excellent. Order a bottle of the Belle Glos Las Alturas it’s great!

We came to this restaurant solely for the entertainment… our favorite, Lisa Mills was playing along with another band we had not heard of. Lisa was great as usual! We had high expectations for the restaurant after reading info on its website. It is beautiful inside and out. However, the food and service were severely lacking. We had to wave down one of the many waiters to order. Chicken was not cooked thoroughly, turkey slices were spoiled, lettuce was wilted, croutons were stale. The manager came to our table, apologized and comped our entrees and offered more drinks. We really appreciated that.

My husband, son and I had a pretty sad meal yesterday for brunch. The server was insolent, the grits looked like they’d been cooked earlier that morning, the eggs had a grayish tinge. However, the Bloody Mary’s were good and the music was nice. But, we definitely won’t be returning.

Ambience is nice and inviting. It was easy to get a reservation. Host person was welcoming. It was clean. Our dinner at Legacy went downhill quickly from there.
Our server was not familiar with the menu. After we ordered our dinner upon his recommendation, he returned to inform us it was out. What we ended up ordering was average and completely overpriced for what it is. Dessert was also bad. It looked/​tasted like it was bought from elsewhere. Not fresh.
I could see this place thriving as a happy hour/​BOGO or same category as one of these family friendly big chain type of places at much lower price range.
Go elsewhere if you are looking to enjoy carefully prepared meal and memorable evening.

Service was excellent. Food was amazing! The menus light up when you open them. If this place was in Atlanta it’ll clearly be in the top 10. I came here for an amazing business dinner but the tuna tartare and red snapper had me in heaven!

This place is wonderful! Having eaten at Ruth’s Chris & Prime 112 I have to say Legacy has them beat! Excellent atmosphere for any mood, staff is great! Will definitely be back! Melt in your mouth, good stuff!!!

Enjoyed an evening here on Opera Night. Heads up — full menu is not served on Opera Night, only appetizer menu. Not a problem. The crab cakes were divine, the music was OUTSTANDING, (great talent!!!) but I’m not giving 5 stars because the staff treated us like an intrusion in their lives rather than valued guests. When we could get a server’s attention, he was brusque or condescending.
The night was great, because of the food, the friends, and the music. Not the people.

Great food, music, and atmosphere! The lamb was delicious.

The food here is amazing! They are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. The service was impeccable and the ambiance is fantastic. My favorite item has to be the crab cake. It is the BEST I’ve ever had! And believe me, I’ve had them at almost every restaurant that I’ve been to that serves them. No one compares to theirs. I would highly recommend this place for a romantic date or a special celebration.

I went there on a Friday night. It wasn’t too crowded, but it took forever to get service. We ordered the Tempura Shrimp appetizer and you can tell it was frozen food that had been fried. For the price you spend here, you would think it will be freshly made. I also ordered the ribeye and creamed spinach. The ribeye was nice. The creamed spinach was like spinach in a bowl of watery cheese. You can tell that the spinach had been frozen and just reheated, because it was way too soupy. The only bight spot is the atmosphere. I enjoyed the music, but service and food preparation swayed me me too never go back.
Definitely not impressed and definitely not worth the price.

Geez, after reading through the other reviews, all I can think of is how some of you make a tough crowd!
My guy and I had a beautiful date night here last night — thank you to our server Erica for wonderful service, friendly conversation, and sharing your knowledge about the menu.
Everything we ate was delicious — from the soup of the day to the wedge salad to the lamb chops and berkshire pork and tableside bananas foster for dessert (!!). Yum!
So nice to know there is creative, fresh, quality food to be found in Mobile. I tend to get spoiled in San Francisco but Legacy didn’t disappoint :) Thanks! Going to heat up the leftovers for lunch now.

We had the most wonderful experience tonight at Legacy. Our server Erin was wonderful as well as the rest of the staff. The food and wine were all suck a to detail surprise. From the lamb to the blackened tuna to the moist crab cakes – yum!

This restaurant was the worst I have been to. Food is not even close to what you can expect for the money you spend. To simply put it, all I can say is Mc D’s fries are a lot better than what you get here. I got lamb chops, and the vegetable are better than the chops themselves and my wife got a carb cake sandwich which was salty and dry. Don’t waste your hard earned money here.

When I travel out of New Orleans, I normally don’t expect great meals. I got an incredible surprise with this restaurant. First, forget «bar and grill.» This is a first class restaurant serving some of the best FRESH food I’ve had in a long time.
The scallop appetizer and the crab cakes were phenomenal. The crowning glory of these was the amazing sauces which came with each. The small filet was melt in you mouth tender with a wonderful char from the grill. The fish dish was delicious, and again, each entrée came with an amazing sauce.
With the entrees came grilled vegetables as a «side.» These were much more than an afterthought. The grilled asparagus, cauliflower, grilled fennel and roasted vegetables were as well prepared and carefully presented as anything else. And they were all totally fresh and amazingly flavorful. I suggested to the owner they have a grilled vegetable plate it was so good.
We were pretty full but just had to share a Molten Chocolate Cate which was warm and gooey and rich. Too much for even two of us.
I don’t quite understand why other reviewers felt that this restaurant was overpriced. Our dinner, minus drinks came in at about $ 100.00. For the quality of this restaurant, the ambiance of the place and the freshness and skill of the products served, I considered it entirely reasonable. The value of this meal was excellent.

This was OK. I was excited to find a place with tapas — my favorite way to eat. The food was tasty, but I felt unimpressed by the lack of imagination the menu offered. The food also took way too long.
For me, I left confused. This touts being a «bar and grill» but the prices are pretty high and the wait is more in line with the price tags associated with the menu choices.
It just seemed like a place with an identity crisis (emphasis on «crisis»). Once you make up your mind on who you want to be when you grow up I will be back.

I bought a living social for this place, and finally got around to checking them out for dinner. I arrived and there was a live band playing jazz music. On a Tuesday. If I had been sitting at the bar, I really would have enjoyed that. I was quite impressed by the level of service and food quality at this place. There are some gimmicky twists — like LED lighted menus (which are sorta blinding…) and small pillow chairs for women to place their purses on (so they don’t have to sit on the floor).
The food and wine menus had a lot of variety, and my glass of the rule cabernet that I enjoyed was delicious. I ordered the tile fish with brussels sprouts and purple potatoes. My fish was perfectly cooked. It was fantastic. My friends ordered the duck and grouper and they both liked their meals too. While we had to wait about an hour for our food to arrive, our server recognized the delay and provided us with a complimentary bowl of soup while we were waiting. Great service.
This is a wonderful place to have a romantic night out. While it is on the expensive side, I think it is worth it.
I have to mention, I was expecting a certain kind of atmosphere based on the fact that the name of the restaurant contains «bar and grill». Quite frankly, «bar and grill» this place is not. And I think many a customer will be confused upon arriving at a «bar and grill» that the entrees are $ 25-​$ 30, especially considering that the menu on their facebook page is not the same as the restaurant menu. That said, I really liked this place and will be returning.
