Limited indoor dining

Legends Grille in East Windsor was previously known in East Windsor as Basil’s Legends Lamb Chop House. It continues to offer the same Mediterranean dishes using many of the same recipes with the addition of a few new items as well as a kid’ menu. Open for lunch and dinner, Legends Grille offers early bird specials on a cash only basis as well as a daily appetizer and entrée special.

With sandwiches, soups, pasta, steaks and chops, there is something for everyone on the Legends Grille menu. It will have you coming back over and over again, if only to have the wizard’s famous lamb chops. Choose New Zealand or porterhouse loin lamb chops and select Basil’s famous seasoning or the savoy - a rosemary, balsamic vinegar and garlic creation topped with an apricot chutney. Special night for two? Get the lover’s nest for two that is loaded, including lobster tail and shrimp!

Just average. Steak tasted like the grill hadn’t been cleaned so it tasted like other peoples burgers and chicken. Certainly not worth $100 for two people to eat.

A hidden “go to” for a smaller cozy place located inside the Days Inn in East Windsor. The Food is good, nothing really stood out as exceptional but it was of good quality and flavored nicely. Would visit again for a good meal and relaxing atmosphere.

The restaurant was very small and tired. The food was OK considering the room wasn’t very clean. If there was an alternative to eat at we would have left.

Food was great but smells like stale cigarettes. Service was pleasant, fast and friendly. Location is small and when I entered at 6:30 pm on a Thursday, there was only one other table occupied. By the time my friends arrived 6:50, it was much livelier. We ordered shrimp siciliano, wings and salad. Portions are more than adequate.

This isn't the place I used to go to get the best duck around. It was tasteless and at $40 I expected more. My husband's chicken parm was grilled chicken topped with mozzarella and some type of light tomato base gravy. Drinks also were watered down with ice. I so expected more as it was phenomenal years ago when it was Basil's. Service was good however as the 2 servers worked their butts off.
