When we were dreaming dreams and drawing drawings of our brand new clubhouse, we wanted to create something that goes far beyond your typical golf course restaurant.The Grille was always intended, and indeed is, a place where family, friends, residents, neighbors and the entire Richmond community can come together and enjoy each other’s company. Amazing food is an essential part of the experience, but we keep it reasonably priced so that everyone can enjoy.Our seating setup is designed to create spaces for every occasion – from the private and intimate Reserve room for special dinners, as well as the high tops, traditional tables and 10 TVs scattered throughout. Special attention was paid to make the entire facility wheelchair friendly.

From the appetizers to the dessert, everything was delicious. We enjoyed the butternut squash soup, bread with cheese, pork chop, duck and the short rib. For dessert the caramel cheesecake and the cookie monster ice cream sandwich was shared because we were so full. The portions we larger than in past visits and we were pleased to see that. Staff made it an enjoyable experience.

Awhile back we stopped going to Red Lobster in Midlothian because the food and service were so poor. They never seemed to recover from 2020 challenges. Even the cheese biscuits were bad. We decided to try it again last night because they offered a free meal for veterans. Everything was very good. Our waitress was professional and friendly. The food was back to pre 2020 standards. The cheese biscuits were perfect. We will definitely be back.
