The food here was exceptional. My girlfriend had the Ahi Tuna and I had the Pork porterhouse chop. Mine came with roasted brussel sprouts and polenta. The tuna came with bakcoi and rice. We also had old fashions to drink. The place is quiet and very clean. It would be great for a date night. The prices were to reasonable. All in all we will be back as we had a great experience.

“We had such a wonderful evening here. The atmosphere was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Our server, provided excellent service. The food quality was superb—every bite was a delight. We left feeling happy and well taken care of.
Food we had was herb crusted whitefish and Turkey Havarti club sandwich.

A great restaurant sitting in a golf course. Had a lunch meal that was made great. Even in the winter, sitting near the window had a great view. I’m sure it is spectacular in the summer. Nice hidden gem in Elgin

Quiet dining, bar experience, or outdoor seating, the food is always amazing. Service is friendly. Atmosphere is inviting. Some noise in the bar, as expected. Dining room is quiet and intimate. Parking is plentiful.

We love this place! Great food all the time. We both had chicken entrees and they were both awesome. Can’t wait to return during warmer weather so that we can sit out on the patio and enjoy the view.

Came here with my boyfriend for a late lunch around 2pm. Our waitress was friendly and attentive- can’t remember her name but she had dark curly hair. I got the Chicken Saltimbocca. The chicken was herbal and had lots of flavor. It also came with mashed potatoes and a gravy which was phenomenal and asparagus which was meh. The asparagus was a bit fibrous and lacking in flavor. My boyfriend got the Jambalaya which i saw that other reviews recommended. He said it was good- 4/5 stars. I think overall for the prices we would have maybe expected a bit more from the dishes. I will say the restaurant itself is clean and classy. It has a great view and we actually sat outside because it was a nice day out. There were quite a few wasps since it was early fall- one landed in my food.

Lunch on the elevated 2nd story outdoor deck with peaceful views overlooking the golf course – who knew it was so nice !
So very pleasant
A friend and I came for lunch each ordering a wedge salad & a deep fried seafood choice.
Mine was calamari with breaded and deep fried jalapeño slices also breaded & deep fried. This was so delicious ! Very large portion so brought 1/2 home.
Shrimp tempura was my friend’s choice and she said so delicious.
We will be back !
Ps – neither of us golf – so don’t let it’s location at The Highlands of Elgin golf course keep you from trying

Came here while visiting the area for a couple of weeks! The food was so good I had to come back a second time. On my first visit I had the charcuterie board which was prepared beautifully and tasted wonderful, my ahi tuna entree was delicious. 6 days later on my second visit we tried the mussels. hands down the best mussel I’ve ever had. I would certainly recommend this place when in the area!
