    Great view. We sat at one of the umbrella tables a little ways from the main patio. It was quiet and with outstanding views. Food was very good including bread pudding for desert

    The restaurant wasn’t busy but we were seated and left for too long before someone passed by and asked if we’d been helped. Thereafter the server was attentive and pleasant. Burgers delicious and a good value. Ambiance weird. Live classical guitar player and low level lighting was great but large TVs like a sports bar. What’s that about? I might go back but would ask to be seated outside.

    Had lunch with friends. The menu is limited, the food was ok. The service just ok too. However the view of the mountains from the patio is breathtaking.

    Setting and food was excellent. I would drive across town to sit on this patio! Just know that the food takes a while to come out of the kitchen.

    Beautiful view of the mountains and golf course from the restaurant. Smoked salmon plate was quite large and very good. Avocado toast was also very delicious. Service was excellent.
