    Food was pretty good but waited over an hour for our brunch food to come out. Not even busy. Waitress admitted she forgot our order but still decided to charge us full price even though she could see we were not happy. Even after she brought our food she forgot part of the items. I asked about it but it was just not happening. Bad luck we got a crummy waitress but I expected her to make up for it in some way. Won’t be coming back... not worth it!

    Chef Allen is a great cook and has always very good daily special beside normal menu. His restaurant provides a great atmosphere while having delicious meals. His wine card, although reduced, will provide you with great wines priced very reasonably Will be back next year for the 31 st as usual.

    The food was very good, but the coffee needed improvement. We mentioned it to our waitress and she agreed. We went back 2 days later and the coffee was very good and the food was wonderful. Good value for the area.

    Great Poke Bowl! I was especially impressed since it's at a golf course.

    I made an open table reservation online because their website said reservations were recommended. We showed up and there was a "seat yourself" sign. We walked in and decided we wanted to sit outside. I made sure to let the staff behind that bar (since thats where all staff were) that we wanted to know if it was ok to sit outside. Service was very slow. I got menus for our own table. The waitress was nice but the food was not great. My eggs were good, but the french toast with the berry and cream cheese topping were pretty gross looking. Myself and the other guest at my table pushed all of that to the side. Bellini didn't seem much like a bellini and needed to be remixed. After asking for the check 3 times and 20min later, we got the check. Was pretty disappointed because the restaurant seemed to have good reviews and the location is very pretty outside overlooking the golf course.
