    I had the pleasure of dining at the club restaurant 1st floor during my travels with my Service Dog, and I couldn’t have been more impressed. The staff were not only experienced and professional but also incredibly respectful, ensuring I felt completely comfortable and welcomed. The breathtaking view alone is worth the visit—it’s truly unforgettable. The food exceeded my expectations, with every dish beautifully prepared and full of flavor. What stood out most, however, was the warm and friendly team working during the holidays. Their kindness, helpfulness, and genuine smiles made the experience even more special. I can’t recommend this place highly enough!

    We arrived at 5:30 and the view was stunning over the water. Food was incredible. Service a bit rushed even though we had plenty of time with a 2 hour allocation. We haven’t been to this restaurant for some time but will definitely go back soon.
