It was the first time any of us 4 had been to this location. The first thing each member of our party noticed and commented on was the beautiful interior design of the club house/restaurant. The staff was cordial but that is the extent of positive things I can say about our experience at this restaurant Each and every entree was disappointing. Thursday is supposedly the restaurants signature weekly prime rib night. The $25 prime rib was under seasoned and over cooked. (It came out looking like the meat had been boiled) not to mention, the sides were bland and odd. The asparagus was unpleasant, and the mashed potatoes were oddly sweet, to the point that they were not eaten by either patrons who ordered the mashed potatoes. The $17 patty melt was dry, under seasoned, and barely melted. The first half of the sandwich the patron bit into had cold spots within it, while the other half was warmer and more melted. Which suggests both halves of the sandwich were not put symmetrically under a heat lamp, or even worse, were not cooked at the same timeto compound that disappointment, the patty melt included a side of fries where multiple fries were cold or even still frozen in the middle. And I cant forget the most expensive item ordered, the $28 salmon entree. It was supposed to include an overall lemon flavor to the entree, rice and green beans. I am still searching for it. The rice was cooked well, but it was remarkably unflavored. the green beans were dry, and the salmon was undercooked. Leaving the patron with a very dissatisfying experience. the best tasting items were the appetizers, the soup of the day, and the salads. Which are hard to mess up. For the price, it was highly disappointing. Maybe this place is more ideal in the summer, during happy hours, when the weather is nice, and the bar food aka apps, burgers, pizzas, and beers are discounted. But I am very reluctant to give this place an other chance at the prices they list. Why pay $17-30 for each entree that you would prefer throw away rather than eat?
