The view to the golf course is amazing. Recommended for family to dine and enjoy their vacation here. The cheese entree is the surprise. As a person who do not like the taste of cheese, it taste amazing. Ordered two special main course, the chicken Kiev is a bit dry; the fry meat (forgot what meat that was) was more interesting. Oh, almost forget, the scallops is amazing. The manager lady and gentleman, are very attentive and nice.
