Hi again everyone,
Ok, I should have done a real TR since this is my third post about the food on our recent trip! Two toddlers keep from doing one (I know, poor excuse
)...But I wanted to share our Magical Moment at the Turf Club.
First, let me say that the Turf Club was excellent all around. Great service (thank you Jasmine, you really are a princess!), high quality food, and a nice relaxed atmosphere.
It was myself, DH, DD3.5, DD1.5, and my "little" brother (32) for dinner at 6:30. Appetizers were calamari and onion rings - both good with nice dipping sauces. Kids' meals were one chicken breast nuggets, and one pizza. Both came with drinks and sides (fries with the chicken, apple slices w/brown sugar with the pizza). The kids enjoyed thier meals. And DD3.5 had a sundae at the end of her meal; the pizza meal didn't come with one.
DH had the strip steak, DB had the lamb, I had the pasta w/veggies and chicken. We were all pleased and stuffed at our meals' end. DH had an agave margarita, DB had...? jack and coke, I think. I had a sprite (too much at Citricos the night before
).
As the meal was winding down, the waitresses came over and asked if the girls wanted to be in a horse race. They gathered all the children in the restaurant (7-8), took them to the front entrance, gave them each a toy riding horse (you know, the head on a stick) and they raced into the restaurant and back to the front! So cute! They were not rowdy, didn't seem to bother any of the other patrons (everyone stopped to watch the two minute race), and they all loved it. At the end each child was given a small toy horse and a certificate with their name on it and a description of their Magical Moment.
On the outside, the Turf Club looks like a gentlemen's club, but it is not at all stuffy or stiff as you might imagine. It was a wonderful meal in a casual atmosphere. Even with several familes dining, it was quiet and relaxed. Thanks again to the excellent staff!
