There are QR codes on the bar for the beer menu. It isn't accurate, they're out of several. I was told by a staff member (again, it's hard to tell who fills what role so I'll just call them staff members from here on) that they are "locked out" of that account so I should check the board behind the bar. The board lists the flavor and usually the type of beer. It does not list the manufacturer or really any other details. At this point I ordered a beer and the chicken nachos. I received the beer promptly. I finished that one, then another. Still no nachos. After an hour+ and 3 beers, I cashed out and left. At least they never tried to charge me for the nachos. I witnessed numerous dishes returned to the kitchen. There were 2, sometimes 3 staff members for the entire bar and dining room. All were friendly but seemed inexperienced. I witnessed at least 2 on their phones at some point. Last but not least, the atmosphere. The place could be really amazing. When I was there, the bar was sticky. 3 of the lights above the bar were burned out and the fixtures, obviously intended for old looking filament bulbs had bright LEDs installed giving the ambiance of a hospital waiting room. The recessed can style lighting in the rest of the establishment wasn't much better. The stools at the bar are seriously worn. It's almost worth visiting for the spectacle...almost. Update: they did charge me for the nachos. I misread the receipt that night.

Nothing that we had was good. He ordered garlic burgers and onion rings. He ate a few bites of everything and couldn't stand them. My burger was ok and my Oreo shake was ok. Nothing special!

There was literally nobody at the bar top. or seated at the table surrounding the bar. Next, I ordered a New York medium rare strip with a side salad and steamed broccoli Wife did order a cheeseburger with fries. She said the cheeseburger was good, but the fries were old. What I got was not what I ordered for one. I didn't get a side salad for Another. The steak I got was not medium rare but the steamed broccoli was nice. I complained about the price because the steak was not cooked correctly they offered to remake me another one, but who wants to sit there in while your wife eats and you're not eating so I said no just adjust the price they took $6.50 off of a $25 steak dinner I asked to speak with the manager because that was not enough and he comped my meal after complaining and I told him that someone at a steakhouse should know how to cook a steak. he did say he was a new manager is just taking the place over so hopefully he can fix it but if you're cook, can't cook a steak and let him wash dishes.

They are always amazing. The food has been good on some visits and absolutely terrible at other times. I know there is a new chef and a lot of new staff, so we are trying to be patient while everyone gets trained. I'm adding pics of the filet and ribeye we had right before Chef Chris' departure. Also, I would love to see some attention to the patio. It has amazing potential, and we absolutely love having dinner out there, but for a golf course and restaurant of this caliber, it could use some love. Updated outdoor furniture would be a great start!

The weather was perfect for it, and I love dining outside so when we walked in to be seated we asked for the balcony seating. You take the stairs up to the second floor and then walk out onto the balcony. Service was exceptional. Our waitress was knowledgeable, made suggestions, took our drink order and food orders quickly and brought everything right out. This time I ordered the chips and queso for a starter, and the chicken quesadilla for my meal. Both were very good. My husband had the CRP sandwich with crispy chicken and French fries. You can also get it with grilled chicken if you prefer. Everything came out hot and fresh. Large enough portions that half of everything went home for lunch the next day. Check them out!
