| - This restaurant is now known as "Rusty Putter". It is the casual / outdoor part of the restaurant/bar at the Las Sendas Golf Club. The formal / indoor dining is known as "Bogeys". It is all run / managed by the same people, from what I can tell, and many of the items on the menus overlap. However, I have not eaten at Bogeys.
Anyway, we go up there for the spectacular views on the patio, and the happy hour prices from 3-6 (draft beers $2 and house wine $3 - can't beat that! I think they have some mixed drinks for $4 as well).
I've tried hard to like the food, but it just isn't that good, and its overpriced. There are 4-5 happy hour special appetizers, and the only one we liked were the potstickers - which as of last Friday have been removed from the menu! The pork sliders on the happy hour menu are decent.
We have occasionally ventured to the rest of the menu. My wife had a kobe beef burger - the meat was tasty, but it comes with mozzarella cheese, which has the interesting effect of completely masking the taste of the meat. This makes me concerned that the designers of the menu do not know how to pair foods well, if they did not know this. One time, we saw a table order coconut shrimp and decided to try them. Our four shrimp were overcooked, rubbery and tasteless - and came with a tab of $14! My fault for not checking the ridiculous price on these. I've had chicken wings a couple of times - they were reasonable. But, chicken wings are like **x, as they say - even when they're bad, they're still pretty good.
I'm not sure how to describe the service - they are friendly, there are alot of servers, but they are very unpolished and disorganized. They don't seem to know whose tables are assigned to whom. Whenever we are informed of a shift change with the waitress, the wait staff settles up our bill and then seems to forget our table from that point on.
So, in summary, if you want to have some cocktails on a beautiful spring day, with a wonderful view, head here. But, eat first and stick with the 3-6 happy hour drink specials.
