Where do you start? How about 75 minutes after being seated, when the long-awaited Parker House rolls finally graced the table. Despite a charming, wood-paneled setting and a promising menu, our visit was marked by a stunning lack of efficiency. Our friendly but overwhelmed server asked that we place our entire order at once. A move that made it easier for the kitchen to prioritize quicker tables. We witnessed at least four other parties arrive after us, complete their meals, and leave before our triumph with the bread. After us seeking out a manager which is odd for a restaurant trying to play fine dining- which they market as, aspire and charge like. No control or awareness of the floor. It kind of worked- our appetizers arrived roughly 15 minutes later. The burrata was creamy and well-paired with seasonal accompaniments, and the plum salad stood out with its thoughtful layering and acidity. These bright spots, however, were undercut by the glacial pacing. Their calling card, the steaks were cooked to temperature and satisfying. But hard to tell is they were good or just so hungry anything tasted great. A seasonal risotto, delicately balanced and generously flecked with truffle, was the sleeper hit of the night. Unfortunately, the walleye arrived on a plate so scorching it clearly served a long sentence under a heat lamp overly salted, and lacking flavor after being stewed in its own juices for who knows how long. Salt-mania extended to most of the sides, dulling what should have been a classic steakhouse spread. The poor service did net us some free deserts which were (sorry to say) but were uninspired as they clearly don't have a pastry chef on staff. I guess that felt like making up for the 85-year-old celebrating his birthday enduring a wait two hour for his entree. Hard pass for any groups. They're clearly not set up to serve them with sluggish pacing, communication lapses, and a mandatory 20% service charge that rewarded these shenanigans. While this is located on a golf course I would recommend playing through on this one.
