The chef on the weekends is better than the one during the week. If the weather is good, we recommend sitting outside on the balcony that has stunning views of the greens. Skip it if you're in a hurry - service can be slow. Cheap corkage fee.
Check out their Philly Cheesesteak!

Amazing views with plenty of shade under Ponderosa and Piñon pine trees. Downhill to start but a workout on the way back up! You can take this all the way to Mt. Pinos but it will be an all-day challenging hike.
