We crossed the landing of the outdoor patio, which has a remarkable view of the beautiful golf course, and the surrounding trees and hills. We arrived just before sunset, and although The Clubhouse Grill has many full-length windows and sliding glass doors, none of them face toward the setting sun. The interior of The Clubhouse is somewhat small, but not at all cramped. The table spacing and the many windows, make this modernly rustic restaurant feel roomy and seem wide open.
Upon entering, we passed the bar that is immediately off to the left, which was also where most of the customers were watching the basketball game on the two plasma televisions. Over the boisterous Lakers fans, we were instructed to pick any table. Our waitress brought our menus, took our beverage orders and asked if we would like to try The Clubhouse’s Famous Garlic Bread ($5.95).
We did, and it was such a large portion that we didn’t need to order any other of their appetizers, such as Steak Bites ($10.95), Sautéed Mushrooms ($7.95), Halibut Fish Tacos ($8.95) or Chili Fries ($4.50). The garlic bread was an extremely tasty, full loaf of homemade sourdough bread (yes, they make their own bread!), cut in half and in one-inch slices, buttered, with a generous amount of fresh garlic baked in. The zest of the sourdough and the bite of the garlic made it a real pleasure to eat.
The Clubhouse serves breakfast from 6 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. every day. Traditional breakfast choices range from omelettes ($5.25 to $9.95), to pancakes and French toast ($5.25 to $7.95). Specials include the Breakfast Burrito ($6.50), Chorizo and Eggs ($6.50), and Corned Beef Hash ($6.95).
