“We had my daughter’s baby shower at Lola’s. From the start of booking until the day of the shower. So easy to work with. The day of the shower, we were greeted with such warmth and truly our waitress for our party, Becky, was fantastic. Catered to our every need and was so beyond helpful. She worked very hard and was so pleasant! The food was amazing and plenty of it! Guests went back for seconds! Becky even went above and beyond for my mom who couldn’t eat something and prepared a new one just for her. Truly a gem of a place! Thank you again to the owners and to our waitress who went above and beyond for making our day so perfect! We can’t wait to come back! Kim Landeen“

The owner was great to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed to make our event successful. The food was delicious and the service was attentive. Our guests really enjoyed the mimosa bar. Our plated meals were served hot and tasted delicious. If you’re looking for a space to host a private event, I can’t recommend Sans Souci highly enough. We’ve eaten here many times and can’t wait to return!“

“Good service with very attentive waitresses. Food is delicious and cooked perfectly. They do have size options for the pancakes so if you are not into giant pancakes you can downsize. Atmosphere is comfortable but not overwhelming. The price is a nice plus to coming here, even though they only accept cash, but that keeps their prices down.“

“I love this place family oriented and great food and service highly recommend“

“Just had our first meal here. The entire restaurant is filthy. Our dishes that held our silverware were reused. Our table was dirty To where we washed it with our drinking water. We were ready to leave but had put in our order and wanted to try food. The food Was decent but pricey for amount you got. Called manager over to show him how thick the dust was on ledge where everyone sits And eats. He said he was new. Not an excuse. Restaurant was empty now I know why. The whole place smells dirty as soon as you sit down and have to breathe in one spot. This restaurant will not last if things don't Change. It will be a repeat of Chips restaurant all over again.“

Little do you know, I ordered this meal for my mom who spent the entire day in the hospital with my grandma.

Will continue to recommend this restaurant to all. 🫶🏼“

“I made a reservation here on a Saturday for a date night with my wife and we had a great time. The atmosphere was cool. The service and food were all very good. (We had Cuban Sliders, Calamari and loaded plantain nachos). It was nice to have a unique restaurant experience for a change. It’s the type of place that everyone in the area should do at least once.“

“Celebrated our daughter’s birthday on Friday and everything was AMAZING! Our server, Jaden, was fabulous and our food was incredible!! Definitely a great experience!“

“This was a great unexpected experience. My friend I wanted sliders so we stopped in for that, not realizing it was 8:50 and they close at 9pm. The hostess was so sweet and still let us dine in which was greatly appreciated. Shout out to our server Aidan he was awesome!!! He didn't make sus feel rushed ! I ordered a porn star martini which was great!!! Instead of sliders we ordered a double smashed burger to share, one thing I loved as an option is we could do half regular fries and half sweet potato fries. You know I love some good accommodations!!!! he burger was very good, I like trying smashed burgers at different places. Max you got it right!!!! I really appreciate the kind service staff had to offer!!! We will be back!!“

“I’ve now been to Casadoro three times, and this latest visit was hands-down the best yet! This place has quickly become one of my favorite spots for Italian-American comfort food with a fresh twist. Great happy hour.The new bean and garlic dip is an absolute standout—creamy, garlicky, and loaded with herb flavor. Paired with their warm, homemade bread. We also got the Bianca pizza with shallots. The sweet caramelized shallots combined with the creamy base and crispy crust made it incredibly tasty and unique. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Casadoro nails that cozy yet elevated vibe, and the food quality keeps impressing me more each time. Highly recommend for date nights, happy hour hangs, or just a delicious Italian meal. We’ll definitely be back soon—can’t wait to try more from the menu!“

“Amazing tacos on taco Tuesday! Full plenty of meat for 3 tacos. The truffle Mac and Cheese is also delicious - highly recommend! Service was also amazing and quick.“

“This place has the BEST mac & cheese!! So much so that it was my first pregnancy craving last year. 😂 super creamy, flavorful, and a huge portion that lasts me at least 2 meals!!“

“We arrived to some nice scenery outside & the decorations inside are beautiful, the staff were so nice! The food was delicious, and we were not rushed at all. The greenhouse is so toasty with heat, not uncomfortable either! Our waitress, Allie, most loveliest person I’ve ever met, you could tell she is there because she enjoys people. Absolutely will visit again! The atmosphere, the staff, the food, all excellent!“

“I highly recommend you all come out . The food is absolutely amazing staff so friendly it’s a family like atmosphere. They have a beautiful area to sit down to eat . This is my weekly spot“

“4th year being a non resident golf member here and I absolutely love it! The most affordable private club to join in the area and the amenities keep getting better!

The investments into the golf course, restraunt, bar area, and outside seating has gotten very classy! They redid the entire bar and dining room area. The makeover was much needed!

As for the staff, everyone at the pro shop at wonderful and genuine. Kevin, (head pro) is one of the best! His witty jokes and puns make my entrance more enjoyable each and every time! He is wise with his lessons and is a great teacher with the junior golfers. I took a package deal lesson with him and the results have helped me tremendously!

The assistant head pros are young and agile. Quiet and reserved but then I think some of Kevin's humor has rubbed off on them! Mike has been working with my son on lessons...with it being his first junior golfer also, this will help mold him into a possible early retirement job for myself to be his caddy! Fingers crossed!

Overall, I love playing here and dining in. Yes the prices are a bit steep but what isn't expensive nowadays...it is an older population majority but I see more young guns coming in to help blend the crowd!

P.s. I have gone and played some public courses....but I'm so used to playing on lush tee boxes, fairways that have all divots filled, sand traps that are sand....and greens that run fast and quick. Public courses seem to be wanting money rather than quality
