I heard that they recently opened a restaurant on the moon, but they had to close it. The food was good, but it had no atmosphere.
I agree with Lopez but our last and final experience at Palmer was on our anniversary. We were seated in the noisy bar area, very cramped. The sweaty golfers piled in for 19th hole and the B.O. was profound. Then the filet mignon came and was tough and stringy. We'll pass on Palmer in the future. Never had a bad meal at Lopez.

We live in Pine Hills area and really like Belle Glade, however Havana has great food as well and so does Bonifay. We are usually there for dinner and the view at Belle Glade is gorgeous.

IMO the best view is Belle Glade, but the food is marginal. The best food is Lopez and the only decent view there is the side porch overlooking the range. The inside dining of Lopez is nice and reminds me of Capital Grille.

I found that Lopez has great food and the inside atmosphere is nice. Had the filet minion not long ago and it was perfect.

Default Best Staff

If you are looking for the CC with the best Staff then Laurel Manor is first on the list. The
Management and Staff there are the best.

OK, I’ll bite. Laurel Manor is a regional recreation center, not a CC?

Outside at Belle Glade is our favorite. We mostly go for lunch.

I agree. Nice atmosphere too. Although they have live music out on their porch around dinner time, which might not be one's cup of tea.
