Love Chop Night & it didn't disappoint again. I introduced two friends to Ox Club for the first time & they had a brilliant experience. We loved all the drinks, the rack of lamb was fantastic with a plether of sauces to choose from. Desserts were delicious, definitely will be coming back

This was our first time in York as well as our first meal. From the time we arrived to the time we left Legacy was a wonderful experience. Our main server, Jaime was very knowledgeable and personable. The vegan tasting menu the chef created was so creative, exciting and delicious. We also had the wine paring which just made it all perfect. They even made sure the wine was vegan. The entire staff was so friendly and accommodating but not in the typical five star restaurant type of way. No pretension here. It was just so warm and inviting there and I can’t wait to return.

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.

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.
