It was a lovely gesture offering delicious focaccia and a desert complimentary. However as lovely as this was charging $59 for a Porterhouse steak with no sides ( just few chips) is way too pricey. The cut of meat was very chewy with plenty of veiny fatty bits.

Great place to catch up with friends and family. Nice food and fun activities. Great practice for golfers and even more fun for people who just want to experience golf on a not so serious level. Would definitely be back and experience it again.
