    The patio is lovely, but it’s breezy so it was a bit cold. I wished I’d had a light jacket or sweater. The service was great. Our guacamole appetizer was good even tho the chips were a bit greasy. We ordered the BLTA sandwich which was horrible. It was served on brioche which fell apart as we tried to eat it. The top slice of bread was smaller than the bottom so everything was falling out. And the avocado was mushy and black. It looked like it had been cut the day before. We definitely will not give this restaurant another try.

    A go to restaurant when we treat our son and daughter in law. Beautiful location with delicious food. Everything we ordered was excellent. Corkage fee is high and restaurant should consider lowering it.

    We went to the Veranda to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We sat with a beautiful view of the golf course and they surprised us with a yummy piece of chocolate dessert. The weather was beautiful and they had a lot of umbrellas to shade us from the sun. Our server was very attentive.

    Tonight the hostess who seated us was rude and incompetent. She was an unhappy person and was not willing to make the slightest effort to accommodate our request unless we asked to talk to the management. Then she did it with a long face. The fact is she knew we visited the restaurant frequently but still treated us badly. We used to like to have dinners here because of its proximity to where we live. After this rather unpleasant experience, we don’t think we will come back. The place always over charges for rather ordinary food and they don’t change their menu in recent years. We really don’t find much reason to ever come back again.

    I go to the bar a lot but the last 2 times we sat outside, service was lacking. The waiter is very nice but he took my order wrong. The service was slow the last 2 trips. Also, when we asked the hostess if she can take the umbrella, she said “oh you’re gonna need it.” She made the decision for us. So we just let her be her.
