At the Tierra Verde golf course - this place is a clear upgrade from snack-shacks and golf course restaurants. After several management changes and executive chef redos- Ventana has settled-in, known for great burgers, big breakfast burritos and a solid Sunday brunch. I had the Eggs Benedict this weekend with spicy sausage and a great hollandaise sauce. Breakfast potatoes also solid. Mix in a spicy Bloody Mary on the beautiful deck for a solid Sunday AM breakfast. read more

Ventana Grille - Beautiful outdoor patio. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Please don't do their Mother's Day brunch unless you hate your mother! Food was subpar not worth the $45 per person charge. 4 main entrees and an "omelet bar" with ok taste, had to add salt and pepper to everything. Replenishment of food was almost non-existent. Service was lacking, our server had a look of annoyance when asking for any type of request as if she didn't want to be there. The atmosphere was not festive and the music was very sad and depressing. Overall not returning, I would've had a better experience at the Waffle House. Do better, thanks. read more

I love this place, I've been twice in the last month. I looks great and it's really cheap. It's on a golf course and they have liquor. The first time, we got some shots and ordered the big burger, it was really good. The second time I got the sliders and tried some of the chicken fried steak. I absolutely love their chicken fried steak, probably my favorite. Service was really good both times, one time at the bar and other at the tables, the bartender seemed nice. It has a great view and a fountain people take pictures at. I can't recommend this place enough for a date or drinks. read more

Food is great. Staff is amazing. Always have amazing servers whenever going there. Definitely would recommend.

This is an interesting place in a golf course in far south Arlington that's currently being renovated so you really have to search this place out if you want to go there. First of all I have to say that the view from the dining area is just beautiful big windows overlooking part of the golf course truly breathtaking. Now for the food. I must say that I didn't find anything extraordinary here and by the same token nothing was horrible - everything was pretty middle of the road. It might be that they have a limited menu because of a smaller amount of traffic due to the renovation but the basics were burgers and sandwiches and salads as well as appetizers. If you're looking for a Grand country club dining experience, this is not the place. If you're looking for a quick bite or a sandwich or salad to hold you over the selections looked very good. I came here for DFW restaurant weeks and the menu that was provided for Restaurant weeks was comprised of items that were not on their regular menu, so I can't really comment on The quality of their normal menu. The prices seemed very reasonable and the service was certainly efficient. So, if you find yourself in fire South Arlington in need of a beautiful view to enjoy a tasty salad bye, give Ventana Grill a try - you can thank me later read more

The food was pretty good from what we ordered. However, its only 3 star worthy because they changed their menu... I was really looking forward to a lot of the spanish dishes from their online menu. But upon arrival, the place was empty, it took a bit of a wait before someone noticed we were there waiting to be seated, and the menu was completely different! They replaced many of the spanish fare with american dishes like nachos, sliders, burgers, etc. Which was truly disappointing. The tapas menu became tapas/appetizers with calamari and the previous mentioned nachos and sliders. The entrees changed to italian spaghetti and chicken parmesan dishes as well as burgers and philly cheesesteaks. If I wanted sliders or nachos I would have gone to chilis. So we ordered the few remaining tapas and a salad. Overall the food was quite good and I'm sure the original menu would have been delicious and I am very sad I didn't get a chance to try them. I heard from our really nice waitress that they changed the menu for the golfers. Apparently their regular golfers would rather have a hooters or bennigans there than a fantastic spanish restaurant. Boo you unrefined golfers! Thumbs up to their chef though for doing a great job with what we ordered! read more

Amazing food, cozy atmosphere and great views. The white cheddar pasta was a favorite, topped with tender beef short ribs and the pickled red onion that was deep fried. The pickled fried onion added an unexpected pop to the dish to the creamy pasta. The Beer Can chicken was crispy and perfectly seasoned. The loaded mashed potatoes were fresh with crispy thick bacon. Everything was so good we were happily sharing off each other's plates. We enjoyed our entrees so much we decided to go for dessert. Fresh made sopapillas with cinnamon sugar topped caramelized apples and a drizzle of salted caramel. Perfect fall dessert. Ventana was delicious and worthy of a slight food coma. At $12 a plate you would be hard pressed to find similar valued meal with this quality and execution in the area. read more

Service - 3 Stars Food - 3 Stars View - 4 Stars A beautiful little restaurant located at Tierra Verde Golf Club in southwest Arlington/Kennedale, off Hwy 287. LIke the golf club, this is in the COUNTRY. If you live in Mansfield this place is right off 287 at Eden Road exit. It's a shame that its not on the beaten path or it might get more business. My own taste buds persuade me its worth the trip. They serve a variety of stuff, including the cuisine of Spain, that is fairly upscale, tapas and paellas and variations thereon. Their menu is located at their website www.ventanagrille.com. I had an excellent salad and an exceptional burger at that location as well after a round of golf. They serve a lunch buffet on Sunday and have a large, beautiful patio outside the door. With the well-kept greens and golf course area as a back drop the patio area is particularly beautiful. Now, if I were of the female division, I would think this patio area perfect for a wedding or reception. Me, I'd would rather just drink beer or wine or some other cool drink. I'm also trying to talk my daughter into eloping, but that's just wishful thinking, like peace in the middle east! read more

I really like Ventana Grille's paella valenciana, but it is now only served on an irregular basis. The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere and the food is really good, but the service is very inconsistent. One time the paella did not have any mussels and the sangria was lacking fruit. The Chef, Luigi, did take care of it after he saw what was served. I think this place can improve if there was a steady flow of clients, which will attract and keep good waitstaff. By the way, the lavender creme brulee is as good as it gets and there is a good variety of tapas to choose from. read more

What a disappointment drove all this way for some Spanish food to treat my wife (she is from Madrid) only to find they have removed almost everything Spanish except a few Tapas. So not to waste the trip we ordered one of each. If you ignore the fact that these are supposed to be Spanish Tapas they had an ok flavor, but with the expectation of Spanish Tapas full of flavor they fell miserably flat. We will not be back, so unfortunate. read more

Our group of of 25 celebrated a surprise birthday here for dinner on a Friday night. Service was pleasant and efficient. The food, however, was very disappointing. My wife and I started with the spinach salad. The greens were very tough and the balsamic vinaigrette was bland. We did not finish our salad. I ordered blackened salmon--TOTAL disaster . Very salty and no spices... Hmmm .... How did the chef develop this recipe? Another diner had the same experience and couldn't eat their meal Portions were reasonable for prices. My wife had penne pasta with chicken. Pasta was properly cooked and chicken had nice flavor. read more

Played a round on the course which was in good shape then stayed to have dinner. There were 13 of us for dinner. It had been a while since we'd played here but we recalled the last time they have a good restaurant. Well things have changed. They are now more of a "grill" serving sandwiches and burgers and one entree special. The night we were there it was Paella. Overall the food was ok. The Paella was good but it was not clearly advertised that the order was for 2 and was $30. I had a burger. I have had better; I requested medium it was very well done. The biggest issue was service. The servers themselves were nice but given there were only a few other diners besides our party I expected more attention. It took multiple requests to get drinks refilled and one member of our party didn't get his meal until most of us were eating dessert. Wish I had checked reviews earlier. Think we probably would have chosen a different place to eat after our round. read more

Excellent food, great view, friendly staff and very reasonable prices! My Cajun chicken was delicious, as were the sautéed vegetables. Service was pleasant and quick. I spoke with someone that had a birthday catered by Ventana. They raved about the Sherry Chicken and the meatballs; however, next visit I'm giving the buffalo chicken tacos a try! read more

We went there for lunch today and I was very impressed. After reading some of the (very dated) reviews, I was a little leery about the service and the food. But what ever issues there were in the past seem to be resolved. We were greeted by the bartender as soon as we walked in. She came right out and took our drink orders, then came back promptly to take the food orders. We both had a cup of the tomato basil soup which was delicious on this rainy day. I had a salad with chicken; my husband had a club sandwich and we split some garlic fries. Everything was fresh and tasty. I didn't give it 5 stars since we only ordered "lunch food" but I would not hesitate to come back for dinner and try some of the other choices. If anyone has been afraid to eat here because of previous reviews, I would urge you to give the grille another chance. read more

I can't remember this place too vividly, but I can recall that it was my first go at tapas; and a memorable few dining experiences it did offer to me. As it is located in a tiny little golf club that shouldn't even be classified anywhere near Arlington, it is a bit out of the way and extremely hard to find. If you do somehow locate this place off of the country road, this tapas style restaurant truly is a gem. This was my first time to really try pretty much any semi-gourmet food, as I had my first real rack of lamb, paella, and tapas at this nice, cozy location. The dishes are done a bit eclectic rather than with authentic Spanish design, but they are definitely prepared fine. The lamb chops have an olive tapenade, and are cooked nicely. The pork tenderloin has a nice ancho sauce and is served over pasta carbonara with pine nuts; these components add a nice touch to the delicate pork. The paella is well done, with your typical seafood from scallops to mussels. Beef tenderloin tapas is fine, as are other tapas choices such as quail. Overall, nice tapas joint, just not the most authentic. Definitely classier than traditional European diners though. read more

We usually eat here twice a week after a round of golf. The service is excellent and the food is always very good. The servers are super freindly and very efficient. Chef Luigi makes a special effort to say hello. Overall, a treat to eat here. read more

We had not been to Ventana Grille in a while but went for the Mother's Day brunch with some friends. It was terrific! The variety was amazing and everything we had was delicious. The service was very friendly. We look forward to going back. read more

The owners change the menu fairly often. The menu today was mainly Italian. We started with the very large baby spinach salad. I am fond of spinach salad and this was best I have eaten in years. I have spent four times the money for salads I thought less of. My entre was Blackened Salmon and for twelve dollars, this was a steal. My wife had the Chicken Parmesan. Both were simply incredible. We were then were given a very large Chocolate Covered Strawberry for the finish. I love this restaurant. The chef stated that the next menu in two weeks would be Greek. I can't wait. read more
