I was shocked at how good the Penne Vodka was for the price. While it isn't a "bargain" plate, I was really surprised at how fantastic it was!! I judge a place by its Penne Vodka and previously only one other restaurant in Pittsburgh have I found who makes it decently. Legends, however, tastes just like homemade New York vodka sauce.
The place is small, so I would suggest making a reservation ahead of time. We went on a Friday night with a group of 9 people. My only negatives is that they will not split a bill with a certain amount of people at the table and charged everyone at the table for drinking (when I didn't, because I don't drink alcohol). The waitresses also seemed to not enjoy their job and be really annoyed. I don't know, maybe that's part of the attempt to make you feel like you're sitting in a real Italian restaurant in Queens, but they definitely played the part.
The place is BYOB with a corking fee.
The chef came out and he was really nice and he didn't give off the vibe of "I'm just trying to make you feel special by coming out here" but more of a "I needed to stretch my legs and wanted to see how the food was going over with the customers."
I plan on coming back to Legends of the North Shore. The service wasn't bad enough to turn me off from the food, but I've read a few reviews who complained about poor service so I hope they find a way to improve!
