    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.

    The outdoor dining ambiance is wonderful. Flanked by a beautifully manicured golf course. The food and service is excellent

    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.

    Wonderful atmosphere, good food and great service. The fantastic San Diego weather lent to a great al fresco early dinner experience. Not sure how it would be if it was cold or windy but our dinner was splendid! I had the roasted chicken breast which was very good, moist and not overdone in the slightest. The roasted carrots and cabbage were equally delicious! Do NOT skip the Parmesan truffle fries!Would definitely recommend going but especially when it’s not crowded and the weather is ideal :)
