Kaiser rolls, either!

Why do you pretend to know about where I live?

Sweetgrass Restaurant is not owned or operated by the Club or the DIOA.
It's the *only* purely commercial restaurant on the island. Outsiders
driving in have to sign in to get a pass if they want to dine there.

Sweetgrass is next to the marina. There's a long dock and people
tooling up and down the coast in their sailboats and small yachts sto
there to refuel. Meanwhile, they'll have a bite to eat and maybe shop
at the "ships store" next door. Also not affiliated with Dataw. The
head chef of the Club has absolutely no control over their menus.

I've eaten at Sweetgrass a few times. Pretty good food and no, no
kaiser rolls. Ownership has changed hands a couple of times.

It's easy enough to find out where I live. Not so easy to understand
much else. Heh. Sweetgrass Restaurant is not owned or operated by Dataw.

Nope. Those are the dining rooms in the clubhouse that *used* to be
available. Sweetgrass Restaurant has always been independently owned
and operated.

The executive chef at the club is from Ireland. He did make a killer
steak & kidney pie

I know the site you're looking at. They are old descriptions and old
menus. Dataw never did have any involvement with Sweetgrass Restaurant.

Nope, there aren't any reviews on Yelp for the club (I looked). None of
the club dining/event areas are open to the general public so there
wouldn't be much point.

I'm only guessing, about 800 homes. And yes, there are still some
undeveloped lots for sale. I started to count the names in the
alphabetical member directory but stopped when I reached 80 names and
was still in the B's. LOL
