Legacy Records New York - Buy Reservations

Had a very pleasant experience when I took my boyfriend here for his birthday. The host/hostess at the front were super sweet, they knew who the reservation was for before even telling them and they offered to check our coat/bags right away. The place inside is beautiful, the vibes are great , the furniture and colors go along so well with each other which enhanced the experience. We went with the approach of getting different things off the menu to share. Starting off, we got the legacy bread paired with the Stracciatella - already off to an amazing start. The bread was delicious, soft, and savory, and the cheese was creamy, sweet and savory. 10/10. Then, we also got the Ravioli, Tortellini, and the slow roasted cauliflower. Ratings? Ravioli 11/10, Tortellini 8/10, Cauliflower 8/10 (nothing crazy). All three were really yummy.Disclaimer, the sizes of the plates are very small. It was a good amount of food, but definitely get the bread and stracciatella to start off which will help make you feel more satisfied! Our waiter Zack(h)? was lovely. Very attentive and on top of everything. First time i go out and my glass of water was always full and our plates were removed promptly.Overall, 10/10 experience. Looking forward to coming back and trying out more things from the menu.

Waiter messed up multiple times. Food was good, not great, but portions were a rip off. Had a great bottle of wine which gave our friends and us some sense of positivity for this place. The fact that it was a Saturday night and the place wasn’t busy should say it all. So many places to eat in NYC. Don’t make this one of them.

Very cool 80s vibe, loud but not obtrusive Marvin Gaye and soul soundtrack, very busy even at 6.30pm. So, first to say is it’s not cheap. The much hyped crudo (four different fish) was beautifully presented but frankly underwhelming especially at $26 per head. On the other hand, the honey lacquered roast duck with satsuma ($41) was truly outstanding. Superb, in fact. Wines by the glass were good quality and - small detail- served in beautiful glasses. All in all we enjoyed it - if you can afford it, go.

This spot is a little hidden on the far west side of Manhattan. The food is excellent (the pasta is amazing) and they have lots of options if you have food restrictions in your group. The service is excellent and it's a cool concept. They play excellent music.

They charge $12 for bread and butter and it's not listed on the menu from what I recall. Wished the portion sizes were a bit bigger for the apps as well. Decor was really nice. Please update your menu prices on your website.

Long been on my to do list but had such a strange experience this week. Upon arrival staff seemed very at odds as to why we were there (we had a 9pm booking) and the place was very quiet. They aggressively rushed us to order in such an unpleasant way and turned off the music halfway through the meal as if to rush us out. This is an expensive restaurant and while the food was unremarkable, the service was so unwelcoming that I wouldn't want to return, nor recommend to anyone else that they do.

I had a reservation and they within 48 hours just sent a text saying sorry we took a private event. We can book at a sister restaurant. And provided none of them. Bad customer service.

The food was very good but small portions for the price.

3.5*sI visited Legacy Records recently for a private event that was held in The Test Kitchen. I entered the room and found myself face-to-face with a modern kitchen full of staff diligently preparing our meal. I passed through that section and entered a cozy space known as "The Drawing Room", which resembled a classy library or actual home dining room. There was a small bar set up in the corner, where a bartender was making basic cocktails and pouring glasses of wine. The center of the space was composed of two custom, teak tables that were joined together to make one long rectangle, which later allowed us to easily go around the room and share our stories. We had a brief cocktail hour with a few passed hors' d'oeuvres. I had a glass of crisp prosecco and saw various items, like sliced prosciutto on toast, being passed. However, with all of the chatting happening, I was only able to try a spoonful of diced Long Island Fluke, which was served like a tartare with coconut, lime, cashew. It was very refreshing. Once we sat at the table, there were some other raw bar items on offer, including the Diver Scallops that I sampled. The scallops were thinly sliced carpaccio-style, cured in lemon and brown butter, and topped with diced pistachios that added a necessary crunch. There were also large rolls, seeded bread, and a bowl of hand-pulled and seasoned mozzarella, which were delightful treats before our substantial meals arrived. Servers also came around with white and red (Chianti) wine to enjoy with our starters.Our first plated course was a Gem Lettuce Salad topped with shaved radishes, hard Parmesan, and sliced peaches. The dish was fine, but the peaches were already turning brown and mealy. Given that the type of fruit was currently in-season, it was disappointing to see that it was not fresh. Next came the Agnolotti pasta course with a mild broth, as well as mushrooms and corn. The dish was light, but had a robust, earthy flavor, making it my favorite part of the meal. Next, came our main courses of either a dry-aged ribeye or duck. I opted for the Honey-Lacquered Duck, which was served with 2 measly turnips sliced in half and a few pieces of crispy greens. The one large slice of duck breast had a very seasoned top layer of skin, but since that was right over the thin line of fat, I really did not eat much of it. Then, the meat itself was just bland. There were also plates of side dishes available to the group, including sautéed mixed mushrooms and broccoli rabe, which had been cooked in chili, garlic, and lemon. Of these two, I only sampled the mushrooms, which were aromatic and flavorful. Lastly, came a big bowl with 2 scoops of vanilla gelato and a pignoli cookie. The cookie had a bunch of almond paste in it, which allowed it to infuse the ice cream with nuttiness. It was heavenly.Overall, I found the service very professional and tasteful, but the food good...but not great.

I had the opportunity to visit Legacy Records earlier in the week for a team dinner. The experience was certainly memorable, though not necessarily in the best of ways.Legacy Records is nestled in a somewhat deserted part of the Hudson Yards area, but is (in my view) an up-and-coming establishment, with a handful of areas to improve upon. When my party entered, I immediately noticed the hip clientele and ambiance. Legacy Records is impeccably decorated and their bar and seating area is incredibly swanky. The music is loud and trendy, the kind of music you'd want to blast over your Friday / Saturday evening dinner before going out (thus, a tad too loud for a random Tuesday). That said, I appreciated it. My main qualm was with the service. Our server was nice but almost felt a bit pushy about getting us to order at the onset. When asking for recommendations, he literally called out every item on the menu (which, by the way, is a completely useless thing to do--if everything is so good you may as well have recommended nothing). Yet, despite being so pushy to get us to order, once we actually ordered our drinks, it took OVER half an hour to even get them. Makes absolutely zero sense. The drink that took the longest time to prepare was a simple club soda with cranberry juice (apparently they were 'trying to find cranberry juice' for over half an hour which caused the disruption). Ultimately, the drink had no cranberry juice in it. Then, it took at least 3 attempts to get our waiter to even take our order. We had to flag down other servers to help capture his attention too. Once we ordered, the wait wasn't quite as terrible, but we were disappointed to see the portion sizes when the food came out. We realized we'd severely under-ordered in our view--the pasta dishes are tiny, so even if you plan to order family style it's worth just getting a dish per head.The food itself was good. Nothing to write home about but no major qualms either (though the branzino is quite disturbing with the head still on). We went overboard ordering desserts by the end (3 tiramisu, 3 panna cotta, 1 olive oil ice cream) because of how hungry we still were. Anyhow, overall, I'd rather the experience three stars but would like to note that service was close to a 1.5-2 (at least the servers weren't rude). But the inattentiveness, the useless recommendations, and the contact bumping into our hands / dropping silverware (on many occasions...) was a major bother. We all had work to turn back to that evening yet somehow what was supposed to be a 1.5-2hr dinner turned into a 3+ hour one due to the slow service.That said, I'd perhaps return for drinks only as I appreciate the swanky vibes.

After a hiatus for the pandemic, Legacy Records has reopened. The cocktails and crudos continue to be the stars, but the pastas and other menu selections are terrific too. As would be expected at a spot named Legacy Records the playlist is awesome. Fun spot.
