Legends Spanish Restaurant
Located within the Capital Theatre Centre, Legends Spanish Restaurant in Manuka is a great place to dine at before or after a show. Serving Spanish cuisine, options on the authentic menu include the calamares fritos which consists of deep fried squid and the montadios de lomo; the latter dish is pork loin served atop fried sliced bread. Ring ahead to book a table as some nights a minstrel performs, entertaining patrons with bards from days gone by.

Less than impressed with this place. Mixed up booking, forgotten order twice, first had to run after the waiter to finish my order as she walk off and forgot to finish taking it and the second time to ask if we could order drinks, again because she forgot. Very ordinary food greasy and the chicken was dry along with the very rude waiter it made for a disappointing night. I won't be going back!
My first impression was that it is an agressive place to come - and as a diner, that is very off putting. My comment refers to the bad time some staff were having of it when we arrived. The treatment they received was horrible. Then being on edge ourselves, it was hard to let ourselves catch up with eachother.
The food is themed well, but doesn't actually deliver. It's just a BBQ with a few overcooked sides from our time there.
Great atmosphere (created by the spanish guitarist who is often playing on certain nights of the week) and authentic spanish food. Had a couple of great experiences here but unfortunately the last time I went we had problems getting a reservation because they were 'very full', but when we got there half the restaurant was empty, our orders were rushed by the waiters because of the supposed glut of people coming in, and while we would have been content to stay and sip Sangria for a while the waiters were keen to see us out - so instead of spending time and money in the restaurant we went elsewhere! A shame as we had good experiences prior to that incident but will not likely go back there with a group in future.
