Legends at Bennett Valley

holy mackeral, what a superb champagne sunday brunch! absolutely the best i've ever had. the food was impeccable, delicious and there was plenty of it, as it was a buffet. my party was deeply impressed, and we are hooked on legends. they are a four star restaurant at a 2-1/2 star price. happy noshing!

I was so impressed the other day. The food quality has improved, and we had very lovely, informed, attentive service. I truly enjoyed the crab melt sliders -- perfect size, consistency and the sauce volume was just right. Hubby liked his burger. I hope the food quality stays at this improved leve and Legends starts adding some more inventive sides such as sweet potato fries, greens etc. Homemade salad dressing (tasted bottled) would help --and maybe some cushions for the outdoor metal chairs? Nevertheless, for the price, the ambiance, the view, the nice cold beers and the improvement in both food quality and service, Legends gets a 4-star from me for my favorite neighborhood joint. Better experience than some local places with $15 burgers.

Tonight we had great service, could not fault it, had two guys doing all they could to look after many tables and doing it courteously and professionally, some people left without being served as they could see the wait ahead of them -  but oh what a terrible waste of a great place. Food mediocre at best, selection so-so, wine choice appalling given where we live in Sonoma, beer choice OK- but when you have a chain running things this is what you get.  On a nice day/spring or summer evening a balcony to die for lovely views, music some nights, cannot beat it but they need to take this place up a few notches to bring in line with its location and also realize its potential. Its should be gold mine but don't fool yourselves it's just pyrite
