Unfortunately, the fish in my tacos was very dry and bland, and there was hardly any cabbage or sauce inside. I usually love fish tacos, but these were nearly inedible. The kale salad was just, well, kale. I think they would be better off using romaine lettuce instead. I ended up sending my tacos back and ordered crab cakes instead. They were good, but I've had better elsewhere. I also believe it would have been courteous for the manager to come out and inquire about my experience and offer some form of compensation. My mother agreed that her fish tacos were disappointing but didn’t want to make a scene. I was polite and respectful to our server, who was very pleasant. Overall, I left feeling quite disappointed with my experience at this restaurant, and I doubt I would return.

I absolutely loved this restaurant! It's situated on a golf course, but you don't have to be a member to eat here. A tip: try to get a seat in the patio area inside for a stunning view of the green, all while enjoying the comfort of air conditioning. We liked it so much that we came back twice! I ordered the oak-grilled salmon salad both times because it was that good! The portion is quite generous, packed with crispy sugared pecans and salty goat cheese. The salmon is large and grilled to perfection! It’s delicious and reasonably priced at $17. I requested the dressing on the side, which was a good move, as the balsamic reduction is quite sweet and thick. My mother ordered the Cobb salad both times as well. It’s just as big, loaded with blue cheese, cheddar cheese, and bacon bits. She really enjoyed the blue cheese dressing, although I found it a bit heavy for my liking. My dad tried the steak flatbread the first time and the fork cheese sandwich the second. The flatbread was tasty, but honestly, it was too much food (those American portions!). I also wish there had been more steak on it. However, the fork cheese sandwich was delightful! It reminded me of a Philly cheesesteak, with chunky pieces of steak and lots of melted cheese. His only complaint was that the fries were a bit overcooked, making them slightly dry. My sister ordered the steak skewers her first visit, which came with about 8 bite-sized chunks of beef. The second time, she had the striploin steak with a side of basil mashed potatoes, which she absolutely loved! We also added grilled shrimp skewers that were beautifully charred and full of flavor. It’s a pity this place is all the way in Fredericton, or we’d be regulars!

This restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere and friendly service, although it can be a bit slow at times. However, the food is significantly overpriced considering the quality and portion sizes. While the dishes do taste nice, they lack vegan options and will charge you $18 for a plate with just tomato sauce, pretending it's a curry. The location is convenient if you're heading to play golf or are already in the area, but I wouldn't make a special trip to dine here.

We came here for steak night and was super impressed with the whole atmosphere! The wait was a little long but there were many tables of 8 plus so it's understandable. We had the chicken and goat cheese flat bread to share and would go back just for those!! My husband had the steak which was cooked perfectly and I had the fish tacos which were incredible! Overall a great experience and will be back!

Here tonight for wings and beer with a friend and they are excellent. Best wings in town! Friend had nachos and they were very good. Server was very polite and helpful with menu selections. Have eaten here several times in past years and always impressed! Highly recommended!
