We ate there last night with a party of 8. Most of us really liked the place, but there were a few areas of improvement noted - and mentioned to the manager who was going around actively soliciting comments (a good sign). The happy hour prices were very good and the beer selection was better than most of the CC bars.

location?
 

Where is /bonifay?

Hi I read your comments about Bonifay...how far is it from Bonita? I am renting there for the month of Dec.

We had a wonderful early dinner this evening. It was my mother's birthday. Happy hour drinks were good. Had the spinach salad with goat cheese and the Creole Jambalaya. Delicious food and excellent service. We ate outside on the patio with nice views.

VERY close to Bonita. Odell to Morse..south on Morse past 466A to Sanibel.

:wave: Had dinner after golf Sunday. We had a group of 12. Service, food, p;rices etc. were great. Went back last night with our men's group of 8. We arrived about 6. It seemed everyone in the villages showed up. Every seat at both bars was taken, all tables were full, no seating for at least 30 minutes and then they could not take a food order for at least 45 minutes. We left.:crap2:

4 of us had dinner Saturday nite, they have some bugs to work out with the food and service,but that's why you have a soft opening.Did anybody else feel the lights were really bright,especially for an evening meal.I don't recall ever going to dinner at a restaurant that the lighting was soooooooooooo bright.I'm sure by the time of the official opening, everything will be just fine.

The staff probably forgot to turn down the dimmers as it got darker. They were probably busy. The mgr. needs to decide the lighting level. Always a battle, some folks like it dark, others grouse that it is too read the menu.

Had dinner at Bonifay the other night
 

and I still prefer Cane Gardens, particularly if we have company. As mentioned the lighting was bright. The service was good and the food was OK but we found the menu rather ordinary. It is not on our preferred list. It reminded me of a Burger place on the Beach, which might be exactly what they were wanting. I thought it would have a little more style for a Country Club setting.
Went back to Cane Gardens last night and had a great meal (Ambrosia Chicken Salad wrap & Chicken Marsala) from a new menu. We still can say we have never had a bad meal there. That's my 2 cents.

Is Bonifay open on Thanksgiving? Heard it wasn't opening til the 28th but guess not. Thanks. Toni

Speaking of the pool... (This is not bashing; it's just a question) Where is it? We looked everywhere for the pool at this new Country Club. Isn't it built yet, or doesn't it have a pool? :confused:

2 miles

We tried Thursday evening at 6pm for dinner ----1 hour 45 minute wait

guess no one likes it there !!!!

Ended up at Cane --wonderful as usual

The Club food was spectacular, as well as the service. If you have not gone yet ,you must go. The beautiful golf course, and the sunset just made the evening that much better.

Living has been " never Better "

This Country Club will not have a pool. I have heard a couple of rumors that is has something to do with the Priority Pool Program not getting the interest that some had thought it would.
