I stopped in the other day and spoke with April about delivering a meal to a friend and her family for a special occasion. The new chef at The Rattler at Del Lago had not done that in the past, but April was happy make it work for me. She took my order and ensured me the food would be delivered at the specified time the next day. My friend texted me that the food was delivered as planned and at the right temperature. I had a selected few different entrees and two appetizers. She said all of it was perfectly cooked and delicious! Thank you April and your staff for coming thru for me! I can't wait to come in and try out the restaurant myself and probably write another great review. Good to know that you were able to deliver such a wonderful meal for a very special family! THANK YOU!
Restaurant at Hacienda del Lago! Under new management, this open to the public golf course restaurant (no longer called The Rattler) has become a hidden gem! The extensive menu offers something for everyone, with each dish prepared to perfection. Whether you’re in the mood for a casual bite or a more refined meal, the kitchen delivers. Service is top-notch, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. No need to drive into town for fine dining anymore—this spot is now a must-visit for both golfers and locals alike. Highly recommend!
Food was delicious service great espectacular view .. had a great experience
The dining room was well acquainted with 25 ft drapes along the wall of windows, outlining the restaurant, in front of the greens, on the golf course. What a beautiful picturesque place to eat. The minute we walked in, we we greeted by a friendly.host. we had questions and our server made suggestions upon our request. This was our first time dining there. Our server was friendly, and patient with us. We ordered sandwiches for lunch. My French dip had a giant bowl of Au jus and it was the perfect size to share. I had a side of tater tots that were in shapes like stairs, and other interesting shapes. They were crispy and cooked to perfection. I really enjoyed them. We had crispy pickles that were good, just a little over salted. All in all, the food was great, the atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing, the service was friendly and helpful. The perfect meal with a lovely esthetic! We'll be back to enjoy another great meal.
