By day, I'm a librarian…read more............ There are others just like me: practical shoes, really really nice (yes, it's true, even if I cut you off in traffic), and we actually give a shit about most things. For instance, I care about food, like, obsessively thinking about it. So though the speeches were great, and the decor grand, my luncheon with the other librarians yesterday had me mostly focused on the sit down meal that I expected, like most of these shindigs, would be small, tasteless, lukewarm, wilted and overcooked. Like wouldn't it be nice if I looked forward to a GREAT meal instead of thinking the worst, for a change, hmmmmmm??? OK I was wrong, but read on. The starter salads were romaine free because of the recent e coli outbreak. Kudos. Nice creamy balsamic dressing, colorful, fresh. The rolls were sourdoughy, warm and fragrant. Red had a chicken dish rolled around a bread stuffing covered in a rich gravy topped with dried random cranberries, good mashed, perfectly cooked green beans. Apple had the steak, topped with a burgundy sauce, same mashed and beans. The meat was a bit dry but he ate everything. I had the parm, of course. Anyway, it was eggplant, thinly sliced, pressed into a lasagna almost, topped with a beautiful thick layer of flavorful, gooey cheese, a bit crisp on the edges, and a rich red sauce that was better than just about any I've ever had. The rigatoni on the side was boring, as was the presentation, but this parm was perfectly assembled. Wow. OK this is a review of a special event, but let me tell you, the parking is ample, the grounds are spectacular, the space is lavish and beautiful, the staff were courteous and kind and professional (x5). A venue that would be lovely for any special event. Zena, Goddess of Fire (wearing her cool shoes)

Staff were busy trying to get the 3 different choice meals out to the crowd of 200, but by the time last of the group ate, the first people were sitting twiddling their thumbs. Maybe more help would cut down the wait time for the entire crowd. While friends thought the food was good, I was not impressed. My roast beef appeared to be sliced lunch meat with jar gravy on top. The green beans at least appeared to have been freshly steamed (cool when they arrived). Our dessert was cheesecake. (Friends said I make a better dessert.) That being said, to be sociable, I am sure I will return if it is again scheduled for this club.

This is already my fourth visit here this season, and I've been coming to Control Tower Ice Cream for years. It never disappoints. They have a huge variety of both soft serve and hard ice cream flavors, along with a ton of sundae options. Portion sizes are very generous too, both for sundaes and cones. Today I had the Chocolate Overload Sundae with Moose Tracks ice cream. It came with delicious hot fudge, little peanut butter cup pieces in the ice cream, Oreo crumbles, whipped cream, sprinkles, a cherry, and even a fun size Hershey bar on top. So good. While I was there the people in line in front of me got slushes that looked very much like bomb pop flavors. I bet there's awesome! Almost changed my choice but I stuck with my original sundae choice. I've also had their brownie sundae in the past, and that was excellent too. Trust me when I say a regular size is already pretty large. The large is enormous. This is probably my favorite ice cream place in the area, with Kurver Kreme right behind it. Another thing I really like is how quickly they move people through. Even when there's a line, I've never had to wait very long to order or get my ice cream. They also have go-karts and batting cages, which makes it a fun place overall. The go-karts aren't open until May 16th, but it's nice having those attractions there. 5 stars.

They have an extensive menu of soft serve and hard ice creams but they're definitely well known for their sundaes which is what we got this time! Sooo decadent and delicious and you get to choose what soft or hard ice cream to go with it! So many options you can't go wrong! We got the coconut caramel, pb trashcan, and another peanut butter themed one which were so good! So easy to order and everything came out quick! They also have indoor seating during hot summer months

Had a terrible experience at Van Patten last week…read more Had an old gift card for a foursome with carts that we won at a scramble. I don't know Bob Kennedy and perhaps he was just having a bad day, but he was very confrontational and short tempered with me and his staff. He made up one excuse after another as to why we couldn't use the gift card and why he wouldn't give us a store credit for 2 more rounds with a cart considering there was only 2 of us that day. Not only was he a very stand-off-ish person; he made an already painfully slow round even worse when he sent out not 1 but 2 groups to cut us off on the turn. Round took over 5 hours. Can't see us ever going back again.

We had a 1222 tee time today, and as we always do we got there early, checked in and putted around a little. We went over to the tee box after we saw the 12:10 tee off and I said we are Farina. 12:22. So the starter said looks like the other two are not coming....So we go up to get ready and tee off and right at 12:21 he goes. "There's your other two-some" I told him I am not waiting I scheduled for 12:22 and I was a half hour early because golf etiquette you don't run up to the tee box AT the time. Anyways. 12:22 comes and the 2 kids still are not coming out of the clubhouse. The starter said "they are just paying" i said well, We are teeing off. He said "no hold please". I said. "What time is our tee time?" He said "12:22" It was 12:23 at this time still no one around.... So finally i said "Mike hit away" and he got all mad and said "I tell you when you can go" And then he said "someone is on the shit list" For what being there early??? I wanted to beat the rain and had dinner plans. It's not my fault you guys want to squeeze every possible person out there.... Come to find out. The kids only had one bag. We will never return as much as I love the course. (Since I'm on the shit list) No one ever treats me like that or punishes me for being on time....
