I recently visited Legend's Restaurant, and it was nothing short of magical. The live piano performance created an enchanting atmosphere, with the pianist masterfully transitioning from soothing classics to lively jazz pieces. It added a touch of elegance that elevated the entire dining experience. As for the food, it was equally impressive. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. The menu offered a variety of options catering to diverse tastes, and the attention to detail in both taste and presentation was evident. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring that every need was met promptly and courteously. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or looking for a memorable night out, perfect blend of ambiance, music, and culinary excellence. Highly recommended!

Their lamb chops are simply out of this world! Having enjoyed lamb chops across several Mediterranean countries, I never thought anything could top those experiences—but Legends Restaurant has truly raised the bar. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked—tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor, with a beautiful sear that added the perfect touch of smokiness. The seasoning was spot-on, enhancing the natural richness of the meat without overpowering it. Every bite was a delight, and it’s clear that the chef is a master at their craft. My compliments to the chef Joe and Rebecca sparks! The ambiance of the restaurant is equally impressive—warm, elegant, and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both special occasions and casual outings. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall wonderful experience. If you’re a fan of lamb chops, trust me—this is THE place to be. I can’t recommend Legends Restaurant highly enough. It’s a true culinary gem that deserves every bit of praise!

What an incredible place! The service was great, the food was delicious, and our desert was on the house because we were celebrating our anniversary. I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend this place.

For Valentine's Day, my wife and I ate at Legend's. The staff were excellent, swiftly seating us and proving prompt service throughout the night. Whenever our drink ran low or plate emptied, the waiter came to top us off or clear our table. The ambience was particularly sublime. Despite the crowded interior, conversation volume never grew too loud. Furthermore, the beautiful interior was complimented by the sound of romantic piano music of a live performer. Alas, the splendid service and ambience were not matched by the food. Though the tomato basil soup was delicious, the mac and cheese I ordered for my main meal was sub-par. It was excessively large, with the platter sufficient to feed two or even three persons. The texture was coarse and the macaroni felt dry and tasteless. The macaroni could be improved by making serving sizes significantly smaller and with a modest addition of creamier cheese. My critique of the mac and cheese should not be taken as necessarily indicative of the quality of other offerings on the menu. My life greatly enjoyed the lasagna rolls, a surprise given she normally dislikes dishes with cheese in it. I previously ate the lasagna dish and I can affirm it is rich in texture and taste without being overwhelming in size. Please compare my experiences with other reviewers. Legends is a wonderful dining locale and the pride of Norman, even if the quality of the food is inconsistent. Other reviewers can provide guidance as to which dishes to consume and which to avoid.

Went here for the first and last time for Valentines. They were busy which was understandable. When our food arrived everything was cold, not tepid but cold. We decided to get togo boxes and take it home, no worries. Our server argued with us to the point we decided to leave. The server got who may have been a manager in title only, I think she was a Karen, may not have been but as woke as she was she could have been. She argued that they should have been able Try again to make it right. I explained to her that I don’t send my food back but she wouldn’t let it go. In the end I told her to keep the food and we left. Karen stopped us on the way out to tell me I caused someone to miss a reservation that I took from them. She even came to the parking lot to inform us that this has never happened. Not an establishment I would recommend. When you go out for a nice meal with no special requests, one chance to get it out right is enough!!!

We went to Legend’s to celebrate our anniversary, and they did not disappoint. When we reserved the table, they noted it was our anniversary and put a white tablecloth down JUST at our table. We used to go there regularly when we lived by campus but it got off our radar. Erin our server was precious and gave good recommendations, and I was so pleased they still have a piano player even on a random Tuesday night .. I had the blue cheese balsamic steak, cooked perfectly and was SO tender (wedge salad preceded, I had forgotten about the bacon bits so yummy) . Jim had the crab cake topped tilapia, and it was flavorful and also cooked perfectly (so easy to overcook fish), and potato and pork soup, which he said was very rich and satisfying. I will say I couldn’t eat very much of my entree bc it was very rich, AND I tried not to eat my bread but it came out so fresh and that extra cold butter…..I couldn’t stop. I recommend going easy on that bread so you can enjoy the sour cream chive mashed potatoes. Amaretto chocolate cake for me (my favorite for decades) and cobbler for my husband, also perfect. Even though I was full I somehow managed a few bites of my cake. The idea that they put down a white tablecloth on a slow Tuesday night JUST FOR US is beyond special. We saw some friends from leadership Norman and had a deluge of memories from there. There is an upscale steak restaurant that we went to on the west side, and I’m not sure we will go back. Keep the Legend alive! So glad to put this restaurant back on our regular schedule.

I have always heard about Legend’s Restaurant. I have never heard a negative word about it. This experience was absolutely amazing! Have you ever taken a first bite of something and just stop before you even swallow it and say “oh my gaw!”? It was THAT good and we will be back. It was an hour away from where we live but was so worth it. Live piano, upscale but casual, unbelievably fantastic.
