Legacy Restaurant At Lopez
 
We had not eaten at Legacy since 2018 when it was still owned by the guy who ran Hemmingway's into the ground. Went this past weekend mainly because of the BOGO email we received ( no judging please).

What a pleasant surprise! We sat outside on the lanai at a white table cloth covered table. The menu was impressive with many items. I ordered the shrimp cocktail (jumbo Gulf shrimp!) and my wife and I had the Grouper on a bed of corn risotto.The fish was cooked perfectly and the presentation was spot on. Attentive service and an overall great meal. Reminded me of the meals we used to have at Hemmingway's before it went south. Highly recommend.

:coolsmiley: I think there was a compliment in there between 2 zingers. IMHO things are looking up on TOTV. :shocked:

Suleiman Family Restaurants owns Legacy Restaurant and Havana as well as 2 other businesses, if I'm not mistaken. :ho:

Husband and I think Lopez is best dining of all the Country Clubs in TV. By far best service and food. And prices are reasonable. Just wish we lived closer ! (we are between 466A and 44)

I agree! We have never had a mediocre meal at Legacy.

Absolutely no judging but rather a question. How did you receive the email - that is what prompted it?

Good to know, haven’t made it there yet on our tour of CC’s. Thanks for the positive recommendation. We don’t get that many on here...

Takes us 30 minutes to drive there but well worth the drive.

I think they mean Havana which is now (for the past few years) also owner by the same family, and is equally as good as Nancy Lopez. We eat there ofter. Try the Lobster Mac and Cheese. He puts a whole lobster tail in it. Never had a bad meal at either since the Suleiman Family took it over. They sure know how to run restaurants.

We've eaten at Legacy a dozens times this year. Never had an issue with anything. Food is great and service top notch. The prices are very reasonable.

You can go to their website and sign up. They post about once a week.
