The owners of the Back Nine were equally inspired by the rich history of local cuisine and food preparation dating back to Rancho Carbonero. In Spanish, Carbonero is a place where charcoal is burned, much like an American BBQ. Our expansive fresh grill menu hopefully creates a pleasurable time for each of our Back Nine guests, as they view part of the famed course's front nine.

I ordered corned beef hash. It was not corned beef, but chunks of bacon (?), Ordered eggs over med, the whites were still runny. My friend had a club sandwich which is enjoyed. Waitress was very nice, service was good. Food never quite measures up. By the way, they were not busy at all.

Food was much better than expected. We went for Restaurant week, and they handled the crowds much better than the other restaurants we’ve been to. The artichoke soufflé will bring us back. The mahi-mahi and salmon were generous servings cooked just right. The veggies were colorful and tasty. The potatoes and coleslaw were very good. The berry cobbler was also delicious.
