We booked a midafternoon lunch on a Sunday via OpenTable, so it was very easy. Plenty of parking, checked in at the front desk, as instructed, and we were greeted by a friendly young lady who explained what the facility had to offer and where we were permitted to roam on the property, as we were nonmembers. We were each provided a purple wristband, indicating to the staff our one time membership status. Having a shooting range indoors, obviously safety is their top , as it should be, and it shows. We were guided through their downstairs area and directed to the staircase leading to the Top Deck Restaurant. An elevator is also available, if needed. Since it was between lunch and dinner time, the place was pretty empty, so we were told by the waitress to simply sit wherever we wanted. It was a covered area so we didn't have the sun shining in our faces, so it was quiet, cool and breezy. Eleanor was the only server during the time we were there, but the service did not suffer one single bit. She was very knowledgeable about the items on the menu, as well as their various ingredients. She kept our water glasses full without our having to ask. She was also kind enough to inform us that they were only serving from their brunch menu at the time, but that at 3:00pm they would be able to offer a wider range of items. We appreciated her letting us know, but we had already decided on a couple of sandwiches which happened to be on both menus! My girlfriends ribeye sandwich was delicious, along with her side salad, My truffle burger was tasty, as well, although a tad overcooked, as I had requested medium rare and there was zero pink inside the patty. The French fries were battered, so they had plenty of crunch and flavor. The heated brownie with vanilla ice cream served in a cast iron skillet satisfied our sweet tooth. All in all, a very good lunch at a reasonable price. We will definitely be back to try their dinner menu! And Eleanor made a huge difference with our experience!
