Well. The food may be not WONDERFUL but I think the service is very good almost everywhere here.

And you can count on at all of the country club restaurants for a very very good Angus cheeseburger served on a fresh bun and very tasty fries and excellent slaw. You can eat decently for less than ten dollars, so unusual in Florida for even junk. My favorites are The Lighthouse, their catfish and fries and slaw with mandarin orange and pineapple and sweet strong tea hit the spot last evening sitting out on the deck with a warm January sun.

I love the pizza at Mallory. I really like Cane Gardens Chicken with Brie and any soup and salad or soup and sandwich at Glenview is usually succulent, fresh and VERY good.

I think Toojays chicken livers in a cream sauce with chunks of onions served with mashed potatoes is the best of it's kind anywhere, anytime, and I say again that the service I receive is always wonderful.

I can't believe that when we go to Glenview three or four of the wait staff remember us and what we like and I know we have been there less than 25 times in five years.

I try to thank the servers and tell them how much I appreciate how hard it is to deal with the public at times. It doesn't get me any better food or any better service but it makes me feel better.
