Quite a fine-dine pasta and burger restaurant with live music and really amazing food. They have limited vegetarian options, but the ones on the menu are great! They also customize your food as your taste. So when I ordered a ravioli in butter sauce and substituted lamb sausage for mushrooms, they did that for me and it turned out to be delicious!I tried their Cream of Tomato soup and crispy golden Arabcini balls. Even my non veg friends absolutely loved them!!!!They also serve a plate or double bread with home-made tasting sweet butter - on the house. Which was yum!For drinks I also tried their blueberry blast. it had the right amount of alcohol and sweetness: very well balanced drink for sure.Downside: they just don’t know how to serve water, or so we felt: first they got iced water, which is normal. So we asked for room temperature water. Then they said that room temperature water is not available and that they can only get cold or hot water. Once we said that we prefer it a little hot, we actually got boiling hot water! We actually to ask again for cold water, mix the two (hot and cold) and then we could drink a regular cup of water. This hot water almost burnt the throat of my 2-yr old niece. This water science experiment was definitely a mood-killer.

There was 1 other table seated when we arrived, however it was almost 5 minutes before we were acknowledged and seated at our table. Only because it was our anniversary and I didn't want to upset my wife that we stayed.There were only 3 tables seated in the main dining room (1 table of 4, 1 table of 2 and our table of 2) and there were about 12 guests in party room celebrating someone's birthday. Although there were 3 service staff, our table service was quite slow.Also, the larger party were in the hallway making quite a ruckus and noise. Why wouldn't management asked them to take their drinks in the party room to which they were allocated was quite a surprise.My wife ordered the Prime Rib and she prefers it served medium well. We asked for this dish to be served medium well and when it arrived, it was medium at best (I felt it was medium rare). She had to wait almost 15 minutes for a replacement and I waited for her and allowed my food to get cold.We skipped dessert.After long loyal supporters of the original Fazio's and continuing to provide our patronage to Legend, no more. This is the second disappointing meal we have had at Legend's of Fazio's. The first one, we chalked up to a busy night and we had a larger party of 7, but this was a quieter evening and there was only 2 of us.

I wouldn’t like to put any start the most ignorant owner I’ve ever met in my life. A special 30 year anniversary turned into a complete nightmare never again will return I would rather drive an hour to Toronto I’ve never been so insulted

The food was really good!. Enjoyed the risotto and chicken penne. They also have a homemade hot sauce which is excellent ?

I'd give them 4.5 stars if I could. This was our first time visiting here for our anniversary. The server was friendly and our food and drinks were all well timed, we were never waiting too long for anything, even though almost every table was taken. The bruschetta was very good, and we both had the 10oz New York sirloin. My only complaint would be that the steaks were a bit well done, especially my husband's. We asked for medium (should have asked for medium rare) and mine was more medium well in some spots, his was actually closer to well done, his was also a strange cut with some of it being much thinner than the other part, so it wasn't cooked evenly. The desserts were very good, and they gave us a free brownie with ice cream, which was delicious. I will return, but would ask for the steaks to be medium rare for sure.

This place was awesome, the bartender Danu had a great personality and was pleasant. The Seabfood linguine is to die for. The owner introduced himself as well. Great place I truly recommend this spot. I will be back once a week. Thanks

Once again the staff and the food made for a great night! This time for my daughter’s birthday. We had a great time as a family and really enjoyed ourselves. This is the place to go if you want quality and great service.

I was literally just assaulted by a staff for trying to ask for an accessability table. He threatened to kill my cat, dragged me on the floor, tried to take my phone away as I called 911 and I was on the ground having seizure symptoms. He strangled me slightly. Im a rock-climber and defended myself against his abuse which would have escalated. I assume he didn't want it on recording to the police / want police involved.This place is literally run by an abuser. I was assaulted on site and am writing this from the hospital and likely have an injured sacrum and or lower back / hip bone injury. My trachea also hurts slightly. I was able to defend myself because I am strong, literally an elite athlete.Don't ever go here you'd be giving money to a narcissistic abuser who doesn't deserve any of your money who is now under police investigation and I planning on involving my lawyer.I am a small female sick women whose kind and intelligent, travelling with a service animal. This place and ownership is sick and a human rights issue and a personal injury, human rights, discrimination law suit issue. My lawyers will be in touch.Go somewhere else.

The atmosphere is incredible here, the staff are amazing! So friendly, fantastic service and very knowledgeable.I had the best calamari I've ever had, perfectly crispy and tender!And the seafood linguine was fresh and flavourful and the sauce was delicious and yet also delicate so that it didn't overpower the seafood!I loved my dining experience here and will definitely be coming back!Dietary restrictions: I am lactose intolerant and they were very accommodating and the food was incredible!

Heard great things about this place, so expectations were high. Unfortunately, service was poor, it took nearly half an hour to get our drinks, and another half hour to get food. I had ordered the steak and lobster. The lobster did not taste fresh, the cut of steak was poor and tough to chew, and my meal was room temperature, when it arrived. I would not recommend this dining experience to anyone .

Was a busy event evening, and the place seemed under-staffed for the crowd. While our server made a point to take our entire order at once, we were still at the table for two hours, with our main course coming out 1.5 hours in, and we had to remind the server of our drink orders. Our show started at 7 p.m. and we weren't out of the restaurant until 7:30. We had to rush through our main courses, and ended up missing the opening act. We had 5:30 reservations and tables that came in after us left before us. We definitely felt forgotten right from the moment we sat down. The filet and prime rib were tasty. Great horseradish. The olives and crostini appetizer was disappointing; it was a bowl of warm green olives and round breadsticks. I'd say go for the steak and convenient location the Tribute Communities Centre, but be prepared for a two hour service, minimum, on event nights.

Hands down the best caesar salad I have ever tasted!

Upon arriving we were sat at a small table in the middle of the isle. There were a few family's there that night and kids were running around the table. So I asked for another table and they reluctantly moved us to a corner table. Our drinks didn't come until after the appetizer, bread for the table came after the appetizers as well. I ordered the prime rib, they came back 15min later to tell me they were out of prime rib. Food was fair tasting, but the ribeye steak I ordered was a little thin for a ribeye steak.
