    The views of the golf course is beautiful. Service was great, food choices were good. Parking is not great, had to valet since no spaces were available. Menu is pricey, but I guess it's typical of a resort property.

    Excellent lunch with friends sharing Flatbreads, Burrata Salad and a Chicken Club. Michael was our server and he was friendly, efficient and very accommodating. Always love The Veranda on a beautiful afternoon.

    Reliable. Great setting. Good food. Limited wine lust and menu - they haven’t changed in two years I’ve been going there. They should add new wines and menu items.

    The Veranda outdoor space is very pleasant and the service was excellent. Michael was very attentive and quick. The Steak Wedge is my favorite and the burger was good. Brussel Sprouts are very good!

    Why is it the restaurants do this? You show up and there are 25 tables. You have a reservation and you ask for a different table than they want to give you which is too near the check-in area and you want to sit in a quieter table. They say that the other table is reserved for a reservation. Then nobody shows up or ever sits in that table the whole time you're there. Why won't they let me change tables?
