    We went with friends and had the 7 course dining experience, and what an experience it was. The food was excellent and some of the things we had were Cherry Consume, Oxtail Ravioli, Crab with dill, Halibut, and Duck. Delicious ! I've never dined like this before and they even brought me a little stool to place my purse on so it wasn't just sitting on the floor!! You have to experience this at least once.

    Jason was the perfect server and host for our lunch. We sat at a table by the lower fire pit and were perfectly comfortable in the sun and protected from any wind by the bushes. Watching the groups finish their round of golf was great entertainment while being attended to just the right amount – timing, service, food, vibe were all spot on. Shrimp cocktail is unique and perfect to share. Poke bowl was very colorful and the wagyu burger could have been cooked more but the kettle chips were delicious. Sundae was quality but the ice cream flavor different than on the menu. 10/10 for Jason and 9/10 for Ritz property overall ($50 for required valet for guests is steep, but someone took care of us there, too).
