I have been using the meal vouchers (Connections) for the last few years. This was our first year for using the Quick & Casual (Q&C) Meal Voucher at the Sand Trip Bar & Grill over at Osprey Ridge / Eagle Pines golf course. Someone had mentioned it in a trip report last year, but we didnt have a car that trip and you do need one to get here.
We arrived for lunch about 1:30 (Friday, June 18), right from the airport. The restaurant was about ¼ full, and we were able to sit down right away. Our server, Mary, explained what we could and could not get with the vouchers (I always ask the server, even if I just used them at the same restaurant during that same trip, since not everyone is equally aware of what is allowed.)
We had the Cobb Salad (excellent, huge but not ground-up like the Brown Derby enough for 2 people lime sesame vinaigrette dressing), talapia fish sandwich (very tasty, but not very filling) and the tenderloin sandwich (tasty). Meals came with homemade potato chips (excellent) or fruit and a drink (virgin mary was allowed). Our refillable drinks (ice tea, coke) never ran dry or required prompting the server.
The ambience was, not surprising, golf clubhouse. Very NICE clubhouse. The view was of the golf course. The only down side to this restaurant was the very limited dessert menu selection. I am not a big dessert person, but when it comes with the meal, I am up for it. Choices this day = key lime pie (very good) and mango pie (wasnt my cup o tea). Mary was able to get a brownie for my son from the lunch banquet going on (youth, minority golf tournament).

Still, our bill, with tip/tax was around $55 for $33 worth of vouchers. The ambience was a decided improvement over any other Q&C offering (Beaches and Cream and Pepper Market review to follow).
Dessert aside, this place rates on par with B&C for best value for a Q&C meal voucher. I will definitely return next year (a) on a non-park day, (b) if I have a car and (c) if it is still on the voucher list.
