Nineteen at TPC Sawgrass — Restaurant in Ponte Vedra Beach

I think some may frown on my rather neutral review as I was not all that impressed with the some of the dishes here. I'd call it good but average. The happy hour five for Five is a nice draw but the appetizers this month were not the greatest. We had the Nachos which quite frankly had a bar-b-que flavor and the toppings of "canned jalapenos" , what seemed like canned beans and cheese was just ok but did not taste fresh. The flat bread with it's balsamic vinegar and mozzarella was also ok but nothing to right home about. The wait staff is excellent, friendly & attentive. In fact everyone is friendly and attentive including the parking lot attendants. The views of the course are amazing. The room itself is reminiscent of old school men's country club grill rooms, quite dark with heavy furniture but comfortable. Several large 70" TV screens blanket the walls and of course you are watching the golf channel. One of the folks at our table had the duck confit carbonara and raved about it. I ordered the Hamburger which was done to perfection and was at least a half pound. Fish was not seen on the menu but maybe I missed it. No one ordered The Club Sandwich, a $16 item, vs the $14 hamburger. For $16 it must...

We sat for almost 3 hours trying to eat lunch 🙈 the first time I was here in March and we absolutely loved service and dinner menu was very good, so we wanted to come for my birthday, made online reservations but it took them about 15 min to sit us, even though there was plenty of empty seats. Then the waiter forgot about us not sure how cause she was running around us all the time, manager apologized said dessert is on them, but they still charged us for it 🙈🙈🙈 I’ve seen people who came in after us leave happy and fed while we were still waiting on our food.🙈 I don’t like to write bad reviews… but I’d love to see improvement that’s why I’m giving 3 starts. but for the price they charge service needs to be outstanding, it might have just been a bad day for someone, or perhaps waiter was overwhelmed, I get it we all have those days. Having gratuity automatically charged is not the best thing because waiters don’t really care to serve well, because they know they will still get their tip. I know like 5 starts restraunts charge upfront but they hire professional staff who serve with such professionalism! Also lunch menu needs to be improved, maybe make dinner menu...

UPDATE: 4/2723: Every meal here is outstanding! High praise for the team that works here, from the host/hostess to the servers, everyone is happy, smiling and welcoming from the moment you walk in and that means a ton to me. The food always meets or exceeds my expectations, it's an outstanding menu here. Many thanks!

All I can say about Nineteen is “WOW!”. I’ve been through the clubhouse dozens of times but never had the time to eat at Nineteen until last night and I am full of praise for the quality of food and the fantastic staff there, from hosts, servers, chefs and all involved. We had the Pork Belly Bao buns, Burrata and melon, Calabrian Scallops and Coriander Seared Ahi Tuna. The Burrata made my eyes roll back into my head and the Pork Belly Bao Buns I just can’t describe other than writing that I felt like I was getting a big hug. Every bite better than the one before. As if that wasn’t enough, while my palate is thanking me my wife and I are sitting on the balcony overlooking the stadium course at sunset. I really want to recognize and compliment the staff again, everyone smiling, happy, gracious and welcoming. Top shelf...
