What we had: Seared Ahi tuna appetizer, field greens salad with two cheeses, grilled salmon, creme brulee.

We shared the appetizer and each had our own salad, entree and dessert. My only minor complaint was that the field greens salad was a bit dry; the flavor was good and everything else was excellent. The Ahi tuna appetizer was crusted with sesame seeds and served on a bed of creamy risotto that was just perfect. The salmon was very good but did need a bit of salt & pepper seasoning for my taste. I'm not particularly partial to creme brulee but this was good, served in a rather large portion with fresh berries in an unusual square ramekin.

Service: Legendary. Beverage and water refills when the glass is half-empty, re-folding napkins when you get up to use the restroom or check out the merchandise case, ultra-attentive. A somewhat longer than expected wait to receive our main dishes, but then again there were 25 of us and they managed to get each entree out simultaneously and still hot.

The evening was capped off with an impromptu historical tour of the Club, presented by a member of the wait staff who'd been there 25 years.

Would we go back: Oh please oh please.
