It is a beautiful country club and we need to support our restaurants.
Happy to hear you had a good experience at Havana. The facility is indeed beautiful, and it is too bad they don't have much of a following as far as the restaurant goes. Unfortunately it wasn't the rain that kept the crowd down. It was the food/service combination that has not measured up to consumers' expectations since opening day.
Chris is a super guy, but he cannot run a bar/restaurant to save his soul. After 4 tries, we gave up on the restaurant.
The bar is okay, but that's because of the bartenders, in spite of management.
You cannot have a successful country club without a reasonable food service operation. And that hasn't happened since the place opened. It is time for someone else to take over at Havana.
My opinion...
