Was caroleandbob at Legacy a mag?
I stopped by this restaurant yesterday for a meal. I had the chicken strips and chips, which were excellent. My friend ordered a meatball baguette, and even though she is picky, she loved it. We plan on returning soon. Joe, the chef, is also really nice. View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about Legacy:
Good band playing when I visited, apart from that little to recommend this place. Staff looked like they were homeless, not shabby chic, just shabby ! Service slow and indifferent, bar was untidy dirty and disorganised. Altogether a complete omnishambles View all feedback.

This restaurant is a complete dump. The smell of the bathroom hits you as soon as you walk in. The men's restroom was flooded with water. The bartenders were nice, but the overall condition of the place is terrible. I will not be returning anytime soon.

If you are familiar with Sunderland and have been around for a while, you may remember when this bar used to be called 'PURE' and had live bands playing on both floors. However, it has undergone multiple ownership changes and attempts at serving food. Now, it has reverted back to being just a regular pub. It's not a bad spot for a quick drink if you're in the area, but it might need something unique to stand out amongst the competition in Sunderland.

I had a negative experience at this restaurant. I tried to use the bathroom and was told by a rude staff member that it was only for customers. I explained that I was planning on ordering a drink afterward, which was true. However, when I did order a Diet Pepsi, it was warm and expensive. To make matters worse, the same rude staff member appeared again while I was being served. The whole experience was disappointing and disgusting. I will not be returning to this restaurant, as I had originally planned to attend their rock night on Thursday but will now be taking my business elsewhere. I refuse to be spoken to disrespectfully.

I visited this restaurant a few months ago and I was very impressed with the delicious food and the friendly staff. It was a great dining experience and I definitely plan on returning.
