I was disappointed with the limited items on the lunch menu. The menu overall was a bit to be desired. The avocado fresh mozzarella toast was excellent. The salmon was good. The shrimp was not worth it. Made me second guess I should have gotten chicken. The salad was pretty good, although the raspberry vinaigrette tasted old. Not fresh. Not tasty enough. It'd be nice if you leveled up on your desserts. Not much to choose from there. Also it was whipped cream not fresh cream as described. On the menu

Lovely evening overlooking golf course. Food was excellent. Limited staff slowed service but we enjoyed just relaxing on the patio. Prime rib cheese sandwich was enough for lunch the next day as well. Same for the spinach fettuccine. Nice cocktails as well. Good value!

Even tho a limited menu we were 6 people and everyone found something to order. All good was excellent. Good size portions, nice presentation, delicious. Never been there other then Monday night burger night. Good variety for everyone. A definite return visit in the near future. Waiter was pleasant, accommodating and couldn’t have been nicer. Think his name was Bob. Not sure but he said he’s been there 30 years.

The setting is lovely. The servers were pleasant, and the food was good with very ample portions. We would have liked the dishes spaced out. Appetizers, salads, and entees all came out together. Also, we wished there were more seafood selections on the menu. All in all, we will return. It was a nice dining experience.

We thought our dinner experience was great. our reservation was honored immediately. The waitress was so sweet and attentive and asked us for our drink orders right away. One area of our table was dirty with some sticky residue, and the waitress quickly went to clean it. The onion soup we all ordered came out promptly and was absolutely delicious. The rest of the meal was served shortly after and was equally delicious. Food was great and so was the service for a great affordable price. We will be back.

We had a delicious meal but felt sorry for our server. He was the only server working that night. He did an excellent job especially being the only server and other customers were giving him a hard time because the patio was closed. One couple was obviously annoyed because of the wait to get their food. Again the server was excellent and good delicious. Unfortunate there is such a staff shortage.

We have eaten at the grille many times, both inside and out. The food, service, value and ambiance are wonderful. Usually the whole overall experience is. However last night, there was a party of 6-8 behind us which got very loud, and a group at the bar, which was shouting at the games. We could not hear our own conversation at times, which made it less enjoyable as we were with our best friends and celebrating our selves. On a better note our waitress was terrific. She was sweet, accurate and attentive without hovering. Keep her, she is an asset to you.

Everything was good but our service was not. It was a nice day so waiting an hour was not a problem.

Our burgers were very good, but the service was deplorable. I’m still waiting for the Russian dressing I requested!
