Golfer's Lounge at Trump National Golf Club

Five of us went for Happy Hour at the Golfer's Lounge at the Trump National Golf Club last night. We ordered our drinks from the Happy Hour Menu and tried to decide what to order. We had to decide if we wanted to order from that menu or the Seafood Buffet for $39.00. They didn't have fresh oysters but had mussels and clams. When I saw the poached salmon with caviar which I have had before, I quickly decided to have the buffet.  Everyone followed suit except Sandi who decided on the burger. Lucky for me that I was seated next to her since her burger came with an abundance of crispy tasty fries!

I was proud of Piero who normally dislikes anything raw but he thought he would be adventurous and try the sashimi; although I think the real reason was that he saw the succulent shrimps, salad and pasta. Everything was fresh and delicious.

Sugar aka Lydia loved the pasta with shrimps and pesto sauce. The clams and mussels were good but not anywhere as good as if you ordered their mussels on the menu with lots of the wonderful sauce.

Dessert was apple pie and brownie squares which were almost like fudge.

I have to mention that we were all disappointed with the service. There were only a few people till almost the end of our meal, yet there were several servers and they were mostly just talking among themselves. We literally had to flag them down to ask for something. On the buffet table, there were serving spoons missing, the cocktail sauce and the salad dressing didn't have any spoons. I was really surprised. Lydia commented that maybe it was because we were not in the main dining room. That could be; though that's a poor excuse because we didn't see anyone in the main dining room at the time.

When it came down to paying, we handed the server 2 credit cards. It took a long time for us to get the bill. Their computer went down and they had to do everything by hand. After we've signed the credit card bill, Sugar discovered that they charged her bill to mine and mine to her card. The server had an expression of confusion. Luckily, the manager came by and he guided our server away from us probably to give him lessons in Math 101.

It was still a fun evening in spite of mediocre service. On our way out, we were able to view the supermoon which was a nice way to end the evening.
