The Legacy Luxury Event Venue

Attended an affair this evening and was quite disappointed. Although the venue has a classy décor, the service left a great deal to be desired. Our table was repeatedly skipped over by the wait staff for service, even after alerting the head waiter about the situation. She stated that she knew we weren’t being served and asked for our table number. Even after notifying the supervisor, we still were not served. I was considering this venue to celebrate my graduation from graduate school, but now it is not even a thought. I can’t review the food, because I never received any. Too bad. This could be a successful banquet venue under better management with better trained wait staff.

Attended a party here last night. The DJ was great! The food was great! The drinks were great! I enjoyed the fact that the workers kept the place spotless all night. Even in the the ladies room the place was well kept. If I lived on that side if town I’d host a party there.

Out high school Friend had her wedding ceremony and dinner at the smaller hall. The facility is kept up very well. The color and decoration scheme adds a nice touch to the event. Staff members are very friendly and the food was great!

The Legacy took over what used to be Harambee House Banquets. Over the years I’ve attended many events at this facility and as time went on I became unenthused anytime I had to attend an event there. The place was unkept, there was little climate control and the food was just ok. It was not a facility that I wanted to host events at. When I went to the opening event for the Legacy, I was skeptical, but upon entering I was pleased. The place has been updated with flat screen tv’s in the Chicago Board Room and at the Grand Ballroom entrance. The mirrors added to the classy look (and what woman doesn’t like the opportunity to check herself out from all angles). The Crystal Room is intimate and beautiful (although I like the gold hue in the Grand Ballroom more.) The food is also good because they use at least 2 of my favorite caterers. But the biggest improvement I noticed was in the bathroom. Once they were really awful and now I feel comfortable going in them. The Legacy’s motto is bringing Downtown to the Southside. Now I’m not sure it’s downtown, but for the southside, it’s darn close. And I would be proud to host an event there!
