Second date and again it was a great experience. We were seated by the window overlooking the mountains and the darkening vista was spectacular. Food was absolutely amazing, especially the wild mushrooms and calamari I had. Wait time was also considerably less this time around, so very much happy about that.

This is a great place to go for brunch. We went the day before Mother’s Day and now the day before Father’s Day. We never have a problem with crowds, food comes out hot and very quickly. Beautiful views of the golf course. Very relaxing and the food was delicious.
