What better way to follow up a review of the dumpy Metrocenter than with the classy Arrowhead Country Club.
I just went here for lunch the other day with a friend whose husband is the chef here. So needless to say, this review is of the clubhouse dining - not the golfing. The food here is pretty good. It's your average country club fare -- upscale, but a bit conservative.
I was so tempted to walk in the joint with a sweater draped over my back and shoulders and tell them my name is Carlton, but I held it in.
I ordered the chicken with a wine mushroom sauce and rice pilaf. Good, but par for the course (no pun intended). Service was polite and quick, as it always is when I've been here for business meetings. I've also been here for a number of rubber chicken banquet dinners - so I know what to expect.
The clubhouse facility itself is decent (not as fabulous as you might think), but the banquet set-up is a bit small, semi-circular, and is downstairs, so you feel like you're in some kind of basement.
I keep asking for a certain member named Jordin Sparks, but she never seems to be around....dang it.
