We were here for my friends wedding and the garden courtyard was just the perfect spot. Filled with tables and exotic plants flowing through made this setting almost fairytaleesque. (Trying to make this a word here). The inn is a bed and breakfast and offers 4 rooms to rent with a full breakfast and evening dessert. They also have 2 apartments to rent and 2 cottages too. They have a gazebo beverage bar and even an outdoors dance floor. The downstairs dining area and entry way are full of history from the furniture and all. Beautifully set up inside with the food and desserts for this evenings wedding. I wish I'd spent more time inside taking photos, but you can also checkout their website for full video tours and photos of each room and area of the inn.

The only thing that was good was the omelet station. The beef from the carving station was extremely rare, the chicken piccata and mashed potatoes were ice cold - no one was checking to see if the sternos on the chafing dishes were still lit (they weren't), and the desserts left a lot to be desired. Certainly not worth $45 per person plus a very generous tip. Our total bill was over $400! My entire family thought it was a terrible experience. I remember years ago it was the place to go for special occasions and the food was very good back then. Unfortunately, we will not be back.

Fox Hollow has always been one of the premiere public courses in the Bay area. The course is set…read moreagainst a stunning backdrop and plays difficult but not crazy impossible by any means. Over the past decade I've played here numerous times and rarely been disappointed. However, the past two visits have been wildly disappointing and even infuriating. The disappointing part has been the upkeep of the course. I played the course in December and again this week and the greens are in very rough shape. They are patchy with seed speckled throughout. I realize it's been dry but several other nearby courses are keeping their greens well managed. The infuriating part was the pompous and belligerently rude ranger. The guy was a total jerk and everyone in my group (a group of guys I didn't know before the round) spoke to his demeaning behavior. I'm certainly no cupcake and the fellas I was playing with were physicians and a business owner, so I doubt they are either. We simply expected to be treated with respect. If you want a nice course just swing over to TPC or Dunedin, or save some cash and play Crescent Oaks right around the corner.

We were invited out for a birthday celebration, and I'd never heard of this place. Fine dining in a…read moreplaza next to Tractor Supply Plus? I wasn't expecting that! We were greeted at the door and taken right away to our table. It was Wednesday night, so it wasn't very busy. Our waitress was super attentive and offered a lot of advice on the menu. We each had something different to try, and each of us enjoyed our meal immensely. Their cute shell shaped butter was delicious, I guess it was a brown sugar butter, which offered just the right sweet on top of their warm bread. Our table enjoyed Caesar salad and the beet salad, both of which did not disappoint. The salads were offered in a small or large portion. The French onion soup was a relatively small portion, but when paired with the salad, it was a perfect meal. I was told the burger was one of the best they'd ever had, and the Parmesan potatoes were delicious. Both the scallop risotto and filet tips were hits too. We all cleaned our plates. It is listed as fine dining, and their prices definitely cater to that. I would recommend maybe a little brighter lights, but overall it was very cozy inside.

This was our first time visiting this restaurant. We visited for a birthday celebration…read more We started off with pimento cheese board and ahi tuna appetizers. Pimento cheese is a fond childhood memory, so I had to try it. Very good! My husband ate all the tuna before I could try it! The complimentary bread with herbed butter was phenomenal! There were five of us at dinner. Each of us ordered either the scallops or the filet. The filet was truly the most tender steak I've ever eaten. Service was efficient. Not overly personable, not rude. My only negative feedback for this restaurant is that it is definitely somewhere you go for an experience or date night, not if you're hungry. I'm fine with paying a premium for good food but I shouldn't leave hungry. Plates that cost $60 per plate should fill me up and come with a salad, in my opinion. It was a nice experience.

Do not book this venue if you do not want your…read moredate set in stone or if you want to put a deposit down and still not know if your date is secured. I truly didn't think this could happen to me but it did. I was consistently told by this venue that once you put your deposit down, that secures your date. Great! We had our deposit put down and I got confirmation of it being received. The contract for my fiance and I to sign was sent out, with our date in the contract, and we sign it. Six minutes later after we both sign the contract online, I get a call from their office assistant saying "our managers had miscommunication and that date is actually taken and a different bride had to reschedule and take that date". When I tell you my mouth dropped and my heart sunk, I thought there's no way. Messing with the date of a wedding is not something small to brush off...this is something huge yet they somehow screwed it up. It gets even better with the fact that their assistant said they had a meeting with management and they could not compromise. I chose a date in off peak season, which qualifies for a discount, and on a Saturday at the end of September for a CERTAIN reason. So when I put down my deposit, and between the contract stating the date, "because the manager didn't sign it yet" it was not set in stone. I WAS TOLD MULTIPLE TIMES MY DEPOSIT SECURES THE DATE. The fact that the management screwed up and couldn't help or compromise or give me whatever date I wanted at this point was honestly the most upsetting. It is clearly a money hungry venue with bad business practices. I obviously have never planned a wedding, this venue was perfect for our budget, and they just made this TEN times more stressful and hard on us. You should NOT be doing business like this and treat your brides this way. They then immediately voided my contract after they called me to tell me the date wasn't available. Please do not use this venue. If they can't get the scheduling correct for you and secure your date, imagine how you wedding is going to go. Yes, many people may have had great weddings here, but they do not have good business practices by treating their renters this way after a mistake on THEIR part.

I have to admit that some of the landscape improvements they've made to this golf course are better than any of the landscaping in my neighborhood and I live in a very nice neighborhood! At first, I was not a big fan of the restrictive geo-fencing that keeps us closer to the middle of the fairway (I don't tend to hit the ball in the middle of the fairway, ha ha) but I appreciate the owners wanting to improve the course and protect the bunker and grass near them. We are in a state of drought right now and the course is amazingly good shape given the head don't have full water. If you have never played here, I highly recommend that you try it. Some of the holes are easier than others and some of the other holes are very challenging so it's an interesting golf course. Thank you to the owners for making investments in our community. It is much appreciated.

Making reservations on open table as quick and efficient. When we arrived, our tables put together and ready for us and we were sat immediately. A decent menu with good variety and fair pricing. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. My husband had the stacked turkey club sandwich and he thought it was delicious. I had the tuna poke nachos and the tuna was very good but the wonton nacho chips were stale tasting. I don't know if they were just left out for too long or if they were over fried, but that would be my only complaint. We chose to dine outside and watch the beautiful sunset with the cool breeze, brushing our faces while we sipped on our cocktails and enjoyed lively discussion. If we were in the area again, I would likely come here at sunset

Whiskey Joe's came highly recommended by several locals, so I was really excited to give it a try…read more The atmosphere is definitely the highlight--it's right on the water with beautiful views, a fun beachy vibe, and a great place to relax. Unfortunately, our dining experience didn't quite live up to the recommendations. We ordered appetizers and entrees at the same time, but our food took about 45 minutes to arrive, and our appetizers didn't come out until the exact same time as our entrees. Since we had ordered simple appetizers like chips and queso and ceviche, it was a little disappointing that they weren't served first. When I asked about it, I was told the kitchen was backed up. Our server was pleasant, but she wasn't very attentive throughout the meal. There were a few times we had to get up and find her just to get drink refills or an update on our food. I completely understand that restaurants can have off days, and even the people I was dining with--who visit often and usually rave about this place--mentioned that this experience was out of the ordinary. As for the food, the ceviche wasn't my favorite, and my shrimp tacos were a bit over-fried. Overall, I left feeling disappointed, especially considering how highly the restaurant had been recommended. That said, the location and atmosphere are absolutely beautiful, and based on how much the locals seem to love it, I'm hoping this was just an off day rather than the norm.
