Full-Course Meals, Nice Greens At Florida Golf Course
Light, airy and lovely all describe the recently opened Dining Room at the new Plantation Preserve Golf Course & Club in Plantation Florida. The restaurant serves bountiful lunches at expandable tables that seat four or more people and a bar where ''snack-a-tizers'' like potato skins with cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon bits ($5.50) are served until 5:30 p.m. As yet, there is no brunch or dinner service at the Florida golf course, though both may be added later on.
What one notices upon entering the Dining Room, with capacity for approximately 100 people, is the spectacular view of the golf course greens from subtly arched large windows. The positioning of the building relative to the Florida golf course is high, affording a dramatic perspective of the swaying native grasses, sand traps, golfers and hillocks that challenge their game.
The room itself has a gentlemen's club atmosphere, with walls painted dark green and beige to echo the nearby landscape; the plaid carpet and wooden cafe chairs with tapestry fabric both have a golf motif. Natural touches abound in the artwork of Florida marsh birds and palm trees and real purple orchids set in little goldfish bowls on each table. With two TV sets tuned to sports and golf channels, the restaurant caters to its golf clientele in myriad ways.
A standard menu given a creative flair includes soups and seven specialty salads, including Southwestern Taco Salad with marinated beef or chicken and Asian Salad with Teriyaki Chicken, crispy rice noodles and peanut dressing, both under $10. Cold sandwiches include a classic club, ham or turkey, ranging from $6.50 to $8.50. Among the hot sandwiches is blackened fish, a hearty portion of seasoned, tender salmon in a kaiser roll with sweet potato fries, for $10.50 and grilled bacon and tomato for $6.50. Those with bigger appetites can choose from four pasta dishes, including shrimp and pasta for $13.50, a homemade meatloaf with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables for $9.50 and grilled salmon for $13.50.
The Florida golf course desserts include a scoop of vanilla ice cream for $2 at the simplest end and a chocolate brownie sundae dessert for $5.50 at the most elaborate.
Service is speedy at the Golf Course Dining Room, where diners on recent weekdays felt the urge to linger. Beers and wines are on the menu, and most house wines by the glass are priced at $4.95. The Dining Room also accommodates private parties. An automatic 18 percent service charge eliminates the need to add a tip. Time to stop and eat at this Florida golf course.
