Legacy Restaurant at the Nancy Lopez Country Club

“My wife and I come here for date night every couple of months - it’s great! We ask for the server named Josh because he is easily the best waiter I have ever met. Good food, good service and great views when you sit outside.”

“Came down to visit my mother and she loves going here when I am visiting. Food was wonderfull as always and the staff were great. Our waiter Andrea's was fantastic and very attentive even though he was extremely busy.”

“We had excellent meals on a cold Sunday and were fortunate to be seated in the bright sunroom. The mushroom brie soup was very tasty as were our chicken apple salad and beet and burrata salad. I added steak to the beet salad and it was cooked perfectly and tender. Would return.”

“My wife and I celebrated Valentine’s Day, by enjoying a meal at The Legacy Restaurant in the Villages, Florida. I’ve never seen so many people gathered together in one place for a meal on Valentine’s Day. I consider that a testament to the prestige and quality of this place. In order not to be overly full, my wife and I bypassed the appetizers and salad, and went straight to the entrees. Prior to ordering, they brought out warm bread and a delicious unique herb and mint butter. The bread was good, but could have been a bit more moist. My wife ordered the sautéed Sea Bass, with Rice and Corn Risotto, and sautéed Broccolini, which she said was flavorful and well prepared. I ordered the Seafood Ravioli, which consisted of large cheese stuffed tender ravioli with a rich butter and cheese cream sauce, topped with perfectly steamed shrimp, sublime sautéed scallops, and a juicy and flavorful lobster tail, with a side of warm drawn butter, for dipping. It takes some kind of skill for a Chef to prepare so many different components of a dish and have everything turn out perfectly. We also shared a decadent slice of Cheesecake with flambéed cherries jubilee. One suggestion that I would like to make is for The Legacy Restaurant to consider offering a selection of Non-Alcoholic Wines, for those of us who do not drink alcohol. After 4 million views of my contributions, I was honored to review yet another great restaurant. We will definitely be dining at this place again soon.”

“I visited the restaurant for the first time with a group of ladies for a birthday celebration. Very limited vegetarian choices on the menu. I choose the You-pick-two: Caesar salad and a grilled cheese sandwich with the bacon on the side to give to my friend. Plus a glass of house white wine. My plate was very hot when I received my order. The salad bowl was on a napkin on the same very hot plate as my sandwich. The salad was a bit limp due to the heat and there was very little dressing on it. It was a bit of chopped romaine, a few packaged croutons and some Kraft Parm. (I recognized it as tthe same stuff in my fridge at home.) The sandwich was OK. Not sure if butter or oil was used to grill it, All I could tell was that very little was used. The bread was pretty dry. Half the sandwich had very little cheese. The other half had a lot of cheese. What was interesting was that out of 12 of us present, the only one that enjoyed her lunch was a lady that had chosen a chicken salad. Everyone else was very politely quiet about their lunch. Our server Destiny was wonderful. Unfortunately without her smiling face and her pleasant attitude this whole lunch would have been a total disappointment to me. I read a lot of glowing reviews of this restaurant. Somehow a bunch of l ladies in a private dining room seem to have been given mediocre food. I didn't hear anyone say they wanted to come back. I'll give it one more try and sit outside on the veranda. Hopefully the food I am served will be better out there than what I got inside today.”
