Located in the Cloverfield Country Club, Bobby O'Brian's provides a casual feel with a sophisticated look. The stone building with white pillars and green awnings provides a sophisticated view, but there's a laid back and relaxing feeling that permeates the restaurant. Large dinning rooms, seating at the bar, and a large patio in back gives a chance for everyone to spread out, leaving it mostly quiet for your dining experience.
The menu gives a solid selection, with prices about where you would expect them. We chose the Strawberry Daiquiri from the frozen cocktail list, the pound of mussels, pound of wings - garlic parmesan, and the crunch rolls. The Daiquiri hit the spot at the end of the day, and the mussels and crunch rolls met expectations. The surprise was the wings! The outside was crispy and crunchy like fresh wings are, and the garlic parmesan was a flavor that stayed in our mouths long after we had left the restaurant. I mean that in the best way possible... they were delicious!
That's the food... but the view! Sitting at the top of the golf course, the view was amazing! The sprawling green lawns and pockets of trees amplified the relaxing, calming atmosphere. We needed it after busy weeks and hectic schedules.
I am giving it a three instead of a four because of one thing: the food took over an hour to arrive on our table. Not being terribly crowded and being items from the Appetizers list, we thought this a little unusual. We did notice that two parties had to leave with their entrees as "to-go" after their waiting as well. But... as we had gone to relax and are not in a rush, we had few complaints ourselves. read more
