Cottonwood on the Greens

Honestly, we are just disappointed. We tried to have a nice anniversary dinner and the food was incredibly underwhelming. It is completely possible that we ordered the wrong thing, and the other food on the menu was good. But their steaks are clearly a weak point.
We each ordered a steak, priced at $41 each. My New York strip ordered medium rare was gray, and was so tough I couldn’t eat most of it. I got the scalloped potatoes, and they looked great. The flavor was good, but the potatoes were completely undercooked and crunchy. The veggies were fine, really the only thing edible.
The ribeye my husband ordered was advertised as 16oz, but unlikely. Small, thin, also grey, and overcooked.
The owner was kind and gave us $20 off our meal to compensate for my inedible meal.
Service and atmosphere were good, and again we may have ordered the wrong thing. So if you go, don’t get the steak.

We stopped by on Sunday for a late lunch. The food was excellent and the service superb! There are few options on Sundays in town and we greatly appreciated our dining experience! Thank you!

Excellent option on Los Alamos. I've been here for dinner for 2, 4, etc... also banquet events and their Sunday brunch too. Great dining room view, consistently good fast service. This town needs as many good restaurant and football watch spots as we can get... and Pawel and the Cottonwood team deliver, thanks so much!

I've enjoyed everything I've gotten here, even though I've heard a lot of people having trouble. Maybe I'm just lucky.

Service was excellent but unfortunately the two times I went the food was not good. My pizza was burnt (couldn't even bite it). And the second time my fish was not cooked all the way. I guess if you order a burger that's safe but I will not try any other menu option.

Hit n' miss on the food. Sometimes the best burger in town, other times not so good. The staff and service are attentive for a moderate lunch crowd.

The owners take really good care of you, the food is good and so is the scenery. You owe it to yourself to stop by and try for yourself.

Make sure to try the pierogi!

I remember a much different place pre-covid. The atmosphere was far more casual than I remembered, the seating was more industrial, and tablecloths and candles are a thing of the past.The menu is now much smaller, and the food quality isn't up to what it once was. Appetizers (mozzarella sticks) where obviously multipack frozen sticks that were almost warmed.Many of the selections were a strange fusion: "Irish style beef snitzel" was a bridge too far I'm afraid.We opted for the pork schnitzel instead, which was sadly underwhelming; very thin—even for schnitzel, and decidedly tough. The Rahm sauce was more like a thin mushroom gravy.The Salmon, on the other hand, was superb, with the butter sauce a wonderful compliment.The vegetable sides on all the meals sadly seemed to come straight out of a frozen vegetable bulk pack.All in all, I doubt I'll be back.

The service was middle of the road. 1 server but few tables, it was not busy, in heinsight probably due to poor food quality. I had an elk burger with fries. The elk burger was the most obviously frozen burger I have ever had. It tasted just like a burger you would be served in a school lunch. Poor bread quality and lack of flavor. I could make a better burger for a lot less than $20.. The fries were cold. The atmosphere was the worst thing ever. I don’t know what one should expect out of a restaurant at a golf course, but the star spangled banner in jazz form isn’t something I particularly enjoy. In fact I found it disruptive to the quiet and quaint atmosphere. Why play music at all? Let alone the weirdest elevator music you can find… I would not return, nor recommend anybody eat here, unless they would like to experience the most overpriced and underdelivering restaurant in Los Alamos. You’re better off going to Sonic for a burger, paying half the price and getting something that actually tastes like food.Please do not attack me personally or threaten me for leaving an honest review. Thank you.

Food made me sick and and it took over an hour to get served even though the place was empty.. Looked like my meatball sandwich was a frozen microwavable one. And yes I voted for Trump.

Service was slow. Food was way over priced, bland and frankly looked like it came out of a box and went right into a microwave. Not even close to what one might expect from a Country Club restaurant. We actually heard the Star Spangled Banner while we were waiting on our food. Very, very disappointed.

We all had a seafood dish that was very tasty! The dessert was out of this world!We can’t wait to go back! Such a great place!

Cottonwood accommodated our large party very well in their lovely patio area. The staff was pleasant and organized, and they had each person's drink ready when we arrived. Our pre-ordered lunches were out shortly afterwards. Everyone was pleased with the food and service and agreed that Cottonwood will be a great place for future events!
