I am not sure why we were able to get in at Chaz 51 this evening, but we did. We like to go for…read moredinner after golf. Chaz 51 has a bar menu that's perfect. After golf we prefer the bar rather than the main dining room. Their bar menu has shrimp tacos, beef Wellington, mussels and ahi tuna and many other upscale meals. We do miss the live music in the lounge. Sigh. Folks if you want a fantastic meal this is where you need to go. The main dining room has a fantastic menu which includes steakhouse fare and one or two seafood dishes. The lounge has an upscale bar menu. All in all I have no idea why it was so easy to get in. I'm guessing that many Floridians were up north for the holidays.

We didn't have a reservation but were seated promptly in about 10 minutes. This must be a popular place for celebrations as we were asked by 3 different people, literally every employee we interacted with, if we were celebrating anything...tonight we were just celebrating dinner! I was prepared to splurge and spend any amount of money tonight. Started with a couple of old fashioned drinks. They had an impressive Bourbon menu, however...They didn't have the Blantons Gold, didn't have the regular Blantons, No Eagle Rare, only had enough Four Roses for one, it was hard to get anything special as the actual selection was limited. We ordered the $22 Bacon wrapped scallop appetizer and were disappointed to only get 3 very small scallops. They were good but we expected more for the price. How do 2 people split 3 tiny scallops? They came on a bed of spinach, which I enjoyed. I ordered the 11oz strip steak with blue cheese crust which was cooked as ordered and tasted fine. Nothing special, but a decent steak. My wife enjoyed the pink snapper however, she ordered rice and it came with potato wedges instead. Our server was very nice and was attentive. However the second round of drinks took too long to come to the table. Like 15 minutes too long. Our meal with appetizers and drinks and tip was around $200. We will definitely come back and I might even try their all you can eat bbq option. Maybe I'll be celebrating something...

We were quickly lead to a table way in the back but facing a glass window allowing us a nice view of the lake. Our waitress was not the best....drinks took a bit to arrive, bread was provided halfway through drinks, right before our food arrived, and we felt kind of rushed. My husband was really bothered by the smell of fish. It wasn't the pleasant smell of a nice fish dish cooking, more like the smell of raw fish in a fish shop. I noticed it but it didn't get to me like it affected him. The food was good, but nothing memorable. There isn't a lot of Gluten Free options. I never hold that against any restaurant just thought I'd mention it for us unfortunate folks that can't have Gluten. If we happened to be in the area we'd probably go back for drinks and apps at the bar but would make a special trip.

The staff was up front right away about the sunset might not be the best, but the view and food would be great. The sun was bright and we got there early enough to enjoy the sun and beautiful view. We were seated outside right away. Started with some appetizers to include Mozzarella sticks, and the crab ragoon. Both hit the spot. Food was all great (Ribeye, Shrimp alfredo, Jumbo shrimp, Salmon special and ofcourse my cheeseburger with green beans. Everything was made to our taste and had some special orders (green beans no sauce, spice or salt). Adrianna was our server and kept drinks filled, had some great suggestions for meals, and let us linger and talk etc. It had a great vibe with seemed upscale but casual. Great food but pretty decent prices for the amount of food. Great evening for my humans and me!! I got a lot of smiles and greetings which also makes for a great night. Ranks as another great cheeseburger. This one is Bodhi Approved #thebodhiway
