Formerly Basil's Legends Lamb Chop House, this Mediterranean restaurant is under the new management of Robin and Chef John Krakowski. The Legends Grill, which has served local diners for several years as Basils and developed a following for its cooked to order specials, will continue in East Windsor. The restaurant will keep the same recipes and dishes, but also introduce new food items and a kids' menu. Legends Grille is open for lunch and dinner.

"Four of us dined there on Saturday night and none of us were satisfied with our meal. The house dressing on the salads lacked flavor. The pork chops were "OK." The salmon was "edible," but the Chicken Marsala was not. My choice of the Shrimp Siciliano was awful. The shrimp was extremely overcooked and I didn't eat it, and the sausage in the meal was kielbasa, hardly a Sicilian ingredient. The vegetables and bread were the best part of the meal. We didn't dare order anything else, and left Legends to have coffee and dessert elsewhere. The confirmation of our disappointment came when none of the staff asked, "How was your meal?""

"We found Legends Grille from feedback on Trip Advisor. It did not disappoint. I had the duck which was absolutely fabulous. I have not had duck in years and I think this was the best I ever had. My husband had the lamb chops and loved them too.

The Greek salad had a wonderful tomato based dressing that I hope to duplicate at home.

The only reason I did not give this restaurant 5 stars was because we found the desserts to be a disappointment. I got the Brownie Dessert. It was one small brownie surrounded by 3 scoops of ice cream and a small amount of chocolate sauce. My husband got the apple pie. Lots of ice cream also. Neither the brownie or the pie had been heated.

Go to Legends and skip the dessert."

"The restaurant may be small and located in a Days Inn but you can't beat the flavorful food and the drinks that are appropriately liquored. The food is Mediterranean leaning strongly to the Greek."

"Everything about our experience was great! We had appetizers: stuffed mushrooms and pan-seared shrimp, and they were well-prepared. I had the signature soup, which was a delicious blend of chicken, escarole, sausage, and chick peas in a lovely broth; hubby had salad, which he enjoyed. Our entrees were really good! Mine was the day's special, Bourbon glazed ribs with garlic green beans and Grecian potatos. My husband had Shrimp Voula. Dessert topped off the delicious meal. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the service was superior. The owner even spent time talking to us about our experience. In all, we highly recommend this little gem. We are going back in two weeks for another delicious meal."
