***FOOTBALL FRIDAYS WE ACCEPT WALK INS ONLY****Legends, our refreshed tavern offers a new menu featuring shareables, burgers, salads and sandwiches. Located just yards from Notre Dame Stadium on its sound side, Legends is open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday. The University of Notre Dame is a cashless campus. Please be aware that campus is undergoing multiple construction projects this summer that may impact how you navigate campus by vehicle and on foot. A renovation project to the Main Circle on Notre Dame Avenue has begun, closing the roundabout to traffic. Access to North Notre Dame Avenue will be limited until mid-August and you may experience delays upon your arrival to campus. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and look forward to welcoming you to campus.

    Valentines menu. Great atmosphere, good food, good times. Review: food was good and served in large portions. We had good service and server was very knowledgeable of menu and specials. Dessert options are amazing! The serving size is quite large definitely shareable . This was our first time here. Very eclectic decor reflective of the restaurant's name. Warm and inviting. There was a light crowd this evening and everyone was having good conversation and laughs. One note and we are not sure if it is like this all the time but the time between courses was a bit long. We were glad we had a 5 pm reservation as it took a little over 2.5 hours . We did not mind the time but it was unexpected. We will be back again!
