The stuffed squash blossoms were unique and tasty. I shared my salad which was kale and spinach with goat cheese and persimmons which was all light but very favorable and not too sweet. The service was exceptional.

Love sitting on the beach! It was wonderful and our server was exceptional! My only complaint is the scrambled eggs seemed to be uncooked in places and very discolored— not how I remembered them from prior visits.

I’ve been going to TRGC for over 15 years - both to play and eat! Their food has always been good. The Fine Dining Fridays are a treat. My son and I went recently and had a great time! The prime rib was excellent.
