The food tasted great. The manager was very attentive to all the tables. And the servers were on point. Will return for the prime rib night again soon.

We keep going back to the restaurant at the Van Patten Country Club hoping for the top notch salmon salad they once served. Of course the place has changed hands and names at least twice since that salad and although you can order a salmon salad, it bears only a slight resemblance to the original. In fact. I ordered the grilled chicken on the strawberry salad while my wife tried the salmon and I got the better deal, more substantial despite counting only 2 cut up strawberries. Even so, both of us were hungry later that evening, a testament to the shrinking sizes but not prices, $20 for mine and $22 for hers.
The setting was beautiful, on the terrace outside with green lanes stretching forever. It was a hike for the waitress but she was cheerful and attentive, no complaints; in fact, she brought me a dish of vanilla ice cream not on the menu although it was melting to the point of spilling over the cup. Definitely worth the $2 she charged for ( should have tipped her more).
Inside was hot and stuffy, as though they were conserving money on AC, so the terrace was a better choice, the main attraction for us.

Great food best staff
Had 5:30 reservation, they were out of one of their steaks,BUT did do an upgrade to 10 Oz filet @ no extra charge. Excellent smashed sweet potatoes & the asparagus was cooked perfectly!! My 8 Oz filet was done med rare per my request. You aren't rushed at all. Will try some other specials.

Left message, no one called back.
The only negative and it is a major one is that they did not salt nor plow the long path to the hall. They left a blanket of ice that multiple vehicles slid on and almost caused multiple accidents. That is a lawsuit waiting to happen.The food was great, it is a little dated atmosphericly speaking but it is clean and nice.

Finally! Some darn good onion rings!
Ordered ahead of time over the phone, which was a task and a half. At first I thought they were so busy no one could answer the phone, but I think I figured out what happened after having actually gotten to the restaurant. The restaurant is actually, officially, closed for the season as of October 30th according to a paper taped to the door to the place. I was only able to order take out when I called the Pro Shop, and the guy there actually took my order. That was cool.
Went with an order of a Caesar Salad, the basket of Onion Rings, and the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich. The total came to a little over $40, which is a bit pricy, but this is a golf course so that's *ahem* par for the course. Heh.
When I got home and opened it all up I was impressed with the visual quality, looked great, but the real test was the taste. Well the onion rings were phenomenal. Perfectly crispy, abundant flavor, and that horseradish dip that came with them paired so well. And that's coming from a guy who doesn't like horseradish typically. The salad was equally fantastic, every bit of it coated with just enough dressing, a light sprinkling of cheese, and the homemade croutons kept their crunchy-ness despite the trip home. And then the main course, the sandwich. Well it was exactly what it said it would be, a chicken parmesan between two buns. A thin spread of marinara sauce, two chicken patties, with some great buns that really held onto the fillings. The accompanying fries were alright, but the sandwich was the real deal.
Overall I was throughly happy with my purchase, especially those onion rings, man, they were so good. Great job Cooley Kill, you get my thumbs up.

Tried to call all day no answer, stood at door for 15 min with 2 other parties, no one sat us. Only 2 waitresses that were buried, noticed several tables with ppl sitting waiting to be served. Idk why they bother to advertise prime rib night if they don’t have help.

When we arrived, we could tell the staff was overwhelmed. Every member of the staff was working hard, so even though the service wasn't what I would have expected, I really can't complain too much. The food was terrific, even if it was on the cooler side. It's worth a stop!
Parking: Lot's of electric chargers too!!

Ordered Bone-in chicken wings and ask that they be prepared extra crispy. They were served at the table with soft barely cooked skin. When asked by the waitress how we liked the wings, I told her they were not prepared as I had asked. All I got was; I told them you wanted extra crispy. No offer to make it good!!!
