    My friend and I went to Brickman's for Thanksgiving today. It was the best restaurant Thanksgiving meal I've ever had! It was buffet style and there were so many options. Everything you could want. Quality and taste were perfection. Price was very reasonable, too. Ambiance was very festive for the holidays with lots of attention to the details. Staff was friendly and very helpful. We had reservations and we were seated right away even though it was packed. There was a cute bar area too with a nice view of the golf course and an outdoor dining area option. It's a hidden gem in my neighborhood in Lake San Marcos. I'll definitely be back!

    Had a really great time at Vintana. My friend and I went during happy hour and we tried a bunch of dishes. She really loved the chicken wings and I really enjoyed the wedge salad. My mocktail, the prickly no pear, was really delicious as well. Our waiter was really great as well, but unfortunately I forgot his name. :/ This was my first time eating outside on the lanai (I had been once before, but ate inside) and it was really nice sitting by the fire pit, as it was a bit chilly. Just an all around wonderful time!

    The Pony Room was the perfect spot to celebrate friendship and gratitude. As two happily married couples, we honored the husbands’ 45+ years of friendship with incredible food, creative cocktails, and live music that set the perfect mood. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance made the evening unforgettable. Highly recommend for any special occasion!

    Very creative menu with natural sourced food. Our table had the duck taco appetizers that were amazing along with a chopped beet salad, apple and burrata cheese appetizer, and the tuna crudo. The latter was the only weak link among the appetizers since the sauce over-powered the tuna. I had the scallops which was one of the best preparations of scallops I've ever had. Our server was excellent--informative, attentive, and never intrusive. An all around great dinner meal.
