An associate invited me here for dinner recently and I really feel like this place needs an honest review.
Eating here reminded me why I don't go to places like this for food. Maybe a cocktail, but to even call what they serve "food" is a reach.
This place is for uncultured, tasteless, uninspired, dying people.
When I was eating the food I felt as if I were in a scene of a movie where a character has hit rock bottom and the food they eat (which is supposed to give us life and inspiration) tastes like the color gray.
The food was not simply missing seasoning, it was also missing intention and care.
It reminded me of the unspoken moment over a decade ago, when I realized that steakhouses like Golf's was actually a scam. How anyone could recieve a higher and more professional level of cooking, with a more refined menu for the same price or less, elsewhere.
The price isn't at all the issue - it's the food. The food is reminiscent of old white lady's home cooked dinner, where her husband is going to keel over if he has a touch of salt but that makes no difference to her because she believes her only purpose is to serve her husband so her food is bland, overcooked, unloved, and somehow tastes a lot like resentment.
I feel like I ate the meal of a silent domestic dispute between two geezers. I was truly offended that my associate invited me here that I took it as a sign to not do business with him in the future.
It is incredibly telling when a human being can't recognize when something is below mediocre. The price is just a bonus joke. If you're going to be a steakhouse, do it because you care about making great steak, not because it enables you to be in a higher price point for profit.
We were happy to spend ~$260 initially, expecting a higher class of cooking and ingredients.
Steak was used and abused, steam veg tasted boiled from frozen, rice was greasy in a lard kind of way, seafood was somehow lacking its natural flavor. But the lobster was cooked nicely, tender yet firm.
I really could not finish my food because it was beyond unappetizing, the service is similar to an Applebee's - inconsistent. It is a coinflip because our server was impolite, unresponsive, and clumsy. However I'm sure there were great servers working other sections.
Honestly don't go here, for any reason. But especially not for a celebration, because whatever joy you hope to garner by having an amazing dining experience will be diminished if you chose to eat here.
Please deprogram yourself and spend your money at a restaurant that pays you in flavor, ambiance,...
Read moreThis is a great spot for a good steak, great ambiance, and very hospitable service. We started off the night with their Smoked Old Fashioned. It arrived under a glass cover enveloped in smoke, which lingered on the glass the whole time we drank. It really gave the drink that perfect smoky flavor throughout.
For appetizers, we had the escargots. They were served in-shell with a gracious amount of melted garlic butter. It's a perfect dish for sharing between a couple of people and comes with a side of garlic bread.
For our mains, we ordered the Peppercorn Steak and 12oz New York Strip with sides of rice and vegetables. The mains include a side each, a course of soup, and a course of salad. For soup, we decided to upgrade to the French Onion, and for salads, we ordered the Caesar and Greek salads.
Everything came out in a timely manner and well-spaced out enough for you to enjoy your company. The layout of the space is great, not too loud, and one thing that really stood out for me were the wooden chairs that gave the space a whole other vibe. It was welcoming, modern, and elegant all at the same time.
The food was cooked to perfection; medium rare was medium rare and was an absolute treat to enjoy. The steamed vegetables were firm but not on the raw side, and the rice was on point. The salads were sizeable, the two we tried get a thumbs up. The French onion soup was really flavorful, light on the onions, with a good amount of cheese topping the bread.
For dessert, we were suggested the Peanut Butter Pie. We were on the fence if we were even going to get dessert at all, but with enough convincing, we took a couple of orders to go. Why were we on the fence so much? It was so good! The peanut butter mousse is so soft and pairs so well with the chocolate and pie crust. What a delight!
The service there was great! We took our time, and the waitress didn't make us feel rushed or bad that we didn't decide on our drink/food. She respected our time and was happy it was our first time there. She was rather helpful with any questions we had about the menu.
Overall, a great experience for people looking to go out for a nice dinner, take customers out, or just enjoy a classic...
Read moreIf you are looking for fine dining I HIGHLY recommend Golf’s steak house in Regina. My husband and I went to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. Not only was the service amazing but also the food and you get A LOT for the price you pay. Included with the entree was 2 slices of freshly made garlic toast, soup AND salad. I had the baked French onion soup and it was a $6 up charge but worth it. Caesar salad was a bit more on the creamy side for me but still great (soup and salad not pictured) for an entree I had the Parmesan crusted lime salmon with rice and asparagus, my husband had rack of lamb with lemon roasted potatoes and vegetables. Oh and we got the Greek ribs as an appetizer and they were tender! We also got a complimentary dessert which was bite size brownie (warm and gooey) and bite size cheese cake!
Service was great! We had Autumn and Joanna as our servers. Our water was never below half, our drinks were never empty for more than 5 minutes. They brought each course out with perfect timing, never having too many dishes on the table or everything coming out at once.
Overall we were very pleased with trying Golf’s as we normally go elsewhere for celebrations. The atmosphere was nice and calm, quiet even tho they were busy and unlike our normal special occasion restaurant we could actually hear each other talk while sitting 6 feet across from each other! (Normally we sit beside each other in a booth and can...
