Play it again Sam
Legends Steak House is located in the clubhouse of the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club. I do love a good steak, and as Legends was rumoured to serve up some of the best in town, plus it was located close to our hotel, it seemed inevitable we would end up there one night.
We arrived by taxi, and as it turned out the driver dropped us off at the wrong part of the complex. No problem, a golf buggy was arranged to ferry us to the main club building where Legends was located. This was the type of top class service we received the rest of the evening.
The restaurant is housed in a plushly decorated room, perhaps a little too 'mens club' for my taste, but who could fault those large, comfortable chairs. Eating inside, we were unable to enjoy the Dubai Creek views, but am sure the terrace is very popular on summer evenings. We were however, able to enjoy the amiable piano man, who played a mix of Christmas carols and Sinatra classics, though his occasional unusual singing did make us snigger a little.
We skipped starters, wanting to get straight to the meat. I am a lightweight, so ordered the small Rib Eye steak with steak cut chips, while Alex ordered the large size Angus Tenderloin steak with fries. Both steaks were excellent, with the Tenderloin the stand out - a melt-in-your-mouth kind of steak, perfectly pink and juicy. A bottle of Californian Cabernet Sauvignon was the perfect accompaniment.
Desserts were beckoning - well we couldn't leave as the piano man hadn't played all of our requests yet. Alex had the Apple Crumble, which he really enjoyed. I had the "Trio of Chocolates", which consisted of two Chocolate truffle tartlets, with chocolate covered ice cream balls and chocolate sauce. I was certainly chocolatey, but not as good as it sounded or looked.
We very much enjoyed our evening at Legends. It has that "special occasion" feel about it, but don't let that put you off, as the prices were reasonable and the service friendly enough to make it feel more relaxed than it looked. And there is that kooky piano man.
