    Well cooked, and interesting dishes. We ordered the duck, and the waitress asked us if we wanted it medium rare, as it should be. When we ordered duck at Dish they didn’t ask how we wanted it cooked, and it came out very overcooked. The tiramisu was among the best I’ve ever had.

    Laura was our waitress. She attended to detail. She took excellent care. The meal was delivered, food was prepared as explained. Easy to have a conversation in the environment. Everyone was gracious. A wonderful experience. A beautiful place to have a wonderful meal.

    We were told that our waitress was coming, but was in the bathroom. Then she came to our table and smelled like smoke. It felt like our ordering was sort of rushed. Didn’t get asked how I like the salmon cooked. Had to interject to say that we would like salads too. The salmon and steak meals were just not near as good as I recall from this restaurant. The staff was very kind, it was just these elements that were off, and not the experience I recall from years past.

    Great food; everything was delicious. Service and management were mediocre. There is no sparkling wine by the glass, only by the bottle. "Bread service" is tasty but is an appetizer, not complimentary. Main dishes were really good. We attempted to order a bottle of wine and were told by our server after several minutes that it was actually $40 more than the menu price. We declined and picked another bottle. Again several minutes later, we were told it was unavailable, and our server offered three others. We picked one, and she opened it (after leaving again for several minutes to find a wine tool). Overall, it took about 30 minutes to finally have our third choice wine, and our appetizers had arrived beforehand. It took almost an hour to receive our main dishes. The manager checked on us, and we conveyed what had happened. His immediate response was that he would honor the listed price of the wine we originally requested, and we told him we'd eventually gotten to a different bottle. He apologized and said they were changing some of their wine menu. When I asked him why there is no sparkling wine by the glass, he was unaware this was the case (I showed him the menu). He wished us well, and that was it. All of this could have been handled better, especially if the server had been trained to involve the manager. The server cleared our dishes and asked if we'd like the check, not offering dessert, and we decided to leave. As we left, I asked the hostess whether they could see any notes in OpenTable reservations, such as "birthday" or "anniversary." She said yes, they could. We had indicated this was a birthday dinner, but no one (hostess, server, manager) acknowledged it at all. The ladies' room is large but was messy, with an overflowing trash bin and water all over the vanity and dripping onto the floor. I alerted the country club host in the hallway, and he immediately went to find someone to attend to it.

    Food was great, clean and friendly. Took my wife for her birthday and it was a very enjoyable first time experience. We sat outside and very much enjoyed it hearing the swimming pool water flow, watching people drive golf carts on the course. Would definitely recommend to anyone to try these guys. No necessary dress code (even though it seems fancy) as people will come off the courses in shorts and those celebrating birthdays or anniversaries tend to dress fancier but it is whatever you feel comfortable in. Will definitely be back!
