Ate outside. And they were very busy with a private event and many golfers. Figured service would be very slow, so we’re very surprised at the great service. Soup, which are generally excellent was great. Menu had many new items and waiter offered other specials. I had soup and the Philadelphia cheese steak sliders. Was a little cool with the wind, but a pleasant lunch which i share with a former colleague and my wife

Everything I had was outstanding. I usually try to take half my meals home but I ate every bite. The atmosphere, we sat outside, was so calm and inviting.

Our first time at The Park Grilland loved the Sunday brunch buffet! The food was outstanding and many choices were available! We sat outside at the open bar with the golfers and the lake and a views were just perfect. And they had TVs with sports on so we really had a great time! Bar tenders were great! Very nice and personable! We are coming back!

We had a birthday celebration and everyone enjoyed their lunches and experience. The wait staff was wonderful and even though she was very busy she still went out of her way to take care of us.
