Hacienda Hills CC
 
GOOD

Went there with 6 other golfing guys 2/13. About 1pm for lunch.
Four of us had the Rueben & Navy Bean Soup. Everything was very good.

Looking forward to a return visit to try something else.

Cuban Menu Night at Hacienda CC
 
They have been advertising a cuban menu night. Is it authentic cuban food? Has anyone tried it?

No, I have not been there on Cuban night.

However, I have been to Hacienda Hills CC for their Fish & Chips night (Fridays) and I really enjoyed it. The fish was so fresh tasting and not heavily battered. The fries were pretty good, too. I did not care for the cole slaw but that was no big deal at all. Excellent fish!

I have also been there for the Lobster Tail night (Saturdays). Another excellent choice. I liked it better than the lobster tail at Lopez Legacy CC.

I also have had the Sunday brunch at Hacienda Hills. That is another winner!

Three times - three times I had great food and service.

Hacienda is my favorite in TV. It's a fun place on karaoke night, some really good singers. We enjoy the food as well. :mmmm:

They used to have the best Italian Hoagie I've ever had. At $11 it was a little pricy but well worth it for the toppings and the fact that it was a foot long. However, some months ago they decided to eliminate the toppings and cut the sandwich in half. The price did not change. Very disappointing...

Chef Brian is well known for his creative cooking. Sorry to hear about the decrease in the hogie sandwich, though. I am going to try their lobster next time I get a handering for some. Had one at Glenview CC last night and it was good as always. Wish I had ordered twin tails! The filet steak was a disappointment. It was a lousy end cut. Shameful to even offer that as a filet mignon. The ends are really good for kebabs and tournedos of beef.

Food has been wonderful, but the entertainment that is being played while your trying to eat and enjoy your conversation with the people at your table is very annoying. If it were soft dinner music that would be one thing, but when they think they are on stage and performing at a musical is another. Especially when the speakers are pointed right at the table in front of them.

Disappointed
 
Nine of us went to Hacienda for dinner tonight. It was German cuisine night. Some of us had the German food and were disappointed. In had a chicken dish. The chicken was done nicely but the red cabbage and German potato salad were terrible. They both tasted like cinnamon and apple. Hubby got fish and it was half breaded and they ran out of tarter sauce so the server went in the kitchen and made a dill sauce herself. It was a nice gesture but not good tasting. Seemed that the food was on the scale of diner food. They had entertainment that was very loud, karaoke type. Bad acoustics. It was more like a night club atmosphere than a restaurant. We won't go back.

excellent evening. the choices on the menu were so interesting it made it hard to finally decide. i had the swordfish over mushroom risotto with asparagus, and my wife had scallops. unbelievably good, and so unique for the villages. the live music was great, a bit loud but that can be attributed to the acoustics in the room. the service was professional, attentive but not annoying. i would suggest arriving around 7 - 7 30 pm as the place starts to clear out around 8 and is a lot more pleasant.
am glad that we discovered this place as we are located in the southern end of the villages and tend to overlook some of the places north of CR 466.

Mediocre at best!
