   We had lunch at The Grill after a wine tasting at Wente. The food was very good. We sat outside but were warned of yellow jackets visiting the outside seat. We did not see any until we were about to leave. Good service, and a nice view of the golf course, oak hillsides . Menu was varied with lots of choices.

   Somewhat noisy inside, but overall a good place for lunch if you are in the area.

   There are always bees that are problematic. It really detracts from the overall experience. My club sandwich was skimpy and my wife’s hamburger and side salad was not great. The salad was a bunch or lettuce thrown on the plate.

   The ambience was beautiful, server was excellent and the food was good. The starter platter appetizer was delicious. I had an eggplant pasta my husband ordered fish and chips, and my friend had a hamburger. Overall the food was good.

   Terrible service. I didn’t realize Wente closed their restaurant. This is casual dining for golfers, not patrons from their tasting experience. I called in advance to let them know we were running late, but the hostess balked at our 10 minute arrival past the reservation time, saying the rest closes at 6:30. Wow. Then a couple of us ordered 2 Cadillac margaritas with one without triple sec. The bartender brought them over and was so confused about which one was modified that he silently took both drinks and returned them in a much lighter color as they both didn’t have a hint of Grand Marnier. My modified drink was still so sweet that I couldn’t manage more than a sip. Disappointing.

   Friendly atmosphere. Good service. If weather permits, great outdoor seating watching the golfers finish hole 18.

   We really enjoyed the service - Deliah was exceptional servicer and the food was delicious. Her recommendations were great and appreciated. We will definitely come back again. We requested outside because of the nice weather, and it was loud inside so much quieter on the patio. We will definitely go back again

   Love the new menu. Lots of new drink and sandwich options. Prices, like everywhere, have gone up up up. Service was good. Sitting outdoors was beautiful, minus the wasps. They kept wanting to join our meal.

   Major problem of dozens of hornets We saw them stinging people and they were everywhere. We asked the server to put some food on a plate by the bushes as a sacrificial plate which seemed to help

    Apparently it is yellow jacket season at the Golf Course. Our small group of four, hubyy and my parents, chose to eat outside because the indoor dining room looks dark and it was a bright sunny day. We faced the green rolling hills of the venue. However, we were not warned that we would be sharing out meal with a plethora of yellow jackets. We had my 93 year old dad and 86 year old mom so moving quickly is not in their wheelhouse any longer. Hubby and I ate in shifts so one of us could guard the elderly parents. Other than that the food was plentiful and tasty.
