    Our waiter Diego was terrific but we waited almost an hour to get our main meal. We were absolutely disappointed because this was supposed to be a special event. It doesn't help that it was expensive. I do not recommend anyone going here

    This place could be awesome! The restaurant is beautiful overlooking the golf course! We had 10 of us. We all ordered mimosas for Mothers Day. It took so long. There wasn't enough help. We waited for the food for an hour. Our reservation was at 11:30. We left at 1:15. I was fine if you have lots of time. The food was ok. It could be a hot spot if there was more help and bartenders.

    Our server reported that some employees had not shown up for work on a nice spring day. So our service was very slow, especially mimosas that showed up 35 minutes after ordering. We were having a special occasion for a grandmother, and so the slowness of drinks and food really put a damper on everything. There were uniformly positive comments about the food -- burgers, club sandwich, and fried chicken.

    Lovely view and delicious food & drinks, however the noise level was horrible. A group of seven of us could hardly hear one another at our table. Add to the overall noise, add a shrieking child and the meal was uncomfortable. Maybe it was just the beautiful weather that brought so many people out? Very busy; waitress harried. I've been here for lunch several times and always enjoyed it, but dinner was unbelievably noisy. I wouldn't recommend it for dinner! I was sorry I had brought six friends with me!!!

    I had fried chicken. The breading was very salty. The butter served with the biscuit tasted like margarine. The price was very high. My husband had the Thai bowl. He liked it, the price was too high, especially considering there was no bread or anything served with either meal. Water served was not cold enough; s/b ice water. Entrees s/b served with soup and bread, especially considering the price.

    Service was painfully slow. Waited 15 minutes just to get some half-and-half for my coffee. There was a mixup in our order we ordered three sides of Bacons. All of them were supposed to be done crispy only one really came out crispy. The other two were very wiggly and then we got double charged for one my coffee cup with empty half the time, I just wish they would leave the coffee there if the server isn’t going to be pouring coffee constantly. . Food was good

    Great addition to the neighborhood. Food was outstanding. Service was very slow and lacking (one person ordered salad and entree and he put both in as entree). Server was very nice -- just needs more training. I look forward to going back when I can sit outside.

    Someone told my husband and me, The Lawn had a special every Thurs., $1 oysters for the month of March. We went every week. The special is over and now it's our go to restaurant with family and friends! The service (very efficient and friendly), the food/cocktails (GREAT) and the lovely dining room are perfect!! Check it out!!

    They're still in the early stages of development. The food is overpriced given the quality. The service is mediocre. The waitress was a long time coming. The general appearance of the staff (sans uniform) was Chucky Cheese couture (perhaps that's the familial look they were going for), which seemed out of place given the attractive redesign of the restaurant.

    We were at The Lawn for Easter brunch. Everyone enjoyed themselves, really liked the vibe of the restaurant, and enjoyed the food very much. I really like The Lawn, and have dined there quite a few times in the last few weeks. My only suggestion to restaurant management is to consider ceiling baffling to help with the noise volume. Brunch was a bit busy at times, and people were trying to have conversations. But it seems that the music volume was upped to be heard over the conversations. The music was too loud and was distracting.

    Management needs to figure out their staffing model. We came for an early dinner at 6pm and waited for nearly 15 minutes to be served and another 20 minutes for drinks and simple appetizers to be served. Food quality is good, as long as you don’t mind waiting too long for it.

    I visited The Lawn two nights in a row this past weekend. First night with girlfriends for dinner, followed by Saturday night for dinner/drinks at the bar watching NCAA basketball with my husband. Both experiences were really great. The food was very good, the ambience is nice, the service is very good, and the restaurant is very attractive. I grabbed Easter Day reservations before they sold out, but waiting to hear back on adding 2 additional people to our reservation. Fingers crossed!

    The St. Patrick's Day party was a good idea for a Friday night. The clubhouse dining room is a very nice setting, but the recorded and live music was too loud for the room and we had to scream for our conversation to be heard above the sound. The food was tasty and ample and the green beer flowed, but several guests in our group of 8 and others commented that for the $50 price there should have been wine also available at the least, since not everyone drinks beer. Management caught the word and comped our group with a bottle of wine to sooth the mood. Overall a great concept and I hope it repeats next year with some fine tuning.

    I've been meeting friends for lunch here, it's very nicely decorated, nice menu and very nice staff. Yesterday was my first time for dinner, my salmon was excellent, wish it had a bit more of that delicious sauce. I wanted a Kir Royal, but they were out of Creme de Casis. The atmosphere was lovely, not really a place I would bring toddlers or young children. It has a sophisticated atmosphere, fireplace, has nicely spread-out table seating.

    We always enjoy being at the Lawn, When the noise level at a table next to us, our conscience water was very helpful in moving our table so it was easier to hear each other and chat. My lunch was delicious! (It was the Caesar salad with blackened shrimp.) We are returning in April for our monthly gathering.

    $17 for a glass of Kendall Chardonnay is excessive, as is $16-17 for a cocktail. Prices for food out of whack as well, for the atmosphere (a muni golf course restaurant). Our server was very pleasant and attentive though.
