Avid golfers already know about the legendary Arnold Palmer golf course at Lost Key Golf Club, and since golfers get hungry for good chow, they also know about The Restaurant at Lost Key. It's world-class golf meets upscale cuisine.
Executive Chef Thien Thanh Chu, a native of Vung Tau, South Viet Nam brings his culinary talents to the kitchen. Chef Chu was trained at the Aroma of Mandarin, a fine dining Chinese restaurant. In 1999 he enrolled in the Florida Culinary Institute.General manager of the Restaurant at Lost Key Golf Club, Steve Price, said one thing Chef Chu brings is his ability to prepare dishes inspired from around the world.
"One thing we're excited about is that throughout the month we offer our themed dinner nights, which include Italian, Asian, Seafood, Caribbean, Hawaiian, Santa Fe Southwestern and Prime Rib nights," Price says. "Lost Key can also host your next private event whether it be a birthday party, anniversary dinner, wedding reception or a golf tournament."
From an outstanding breakfast menu to great lunches to globally themed culinary items, The Restaurant runs the gamut from the standard to the exotic. The breakfast menu features freshly prepared items including eggs Benedict, breakfast burrito, breakfast club, corned beef hash with poached eggs topped with hollandaise sauce. Or try the three-egg, build your own omelet, and the famous almond cream french toast.
When it comes time for lunch, enjoy a complimentary appetizer of homemade bruschetta with garlic and cheese toast points. Lunch is followed with complimentary fresh baked cookies. The lunch menu features uniquely flavorful homemade soups, appetizers, salads, wraps, sandwiches and two chef-prepared daily features.
Every Thursday a sushi menu is served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and features five salads and appetizers, five traditional sushi rolls, nine specialty rolls and three chef-prepared feature rolls.
Whether you go for golf, food, cocktails or to just lounge, the Restaurant at Lost Key Golf Club is a secret gem of Perdido Key, but the word is quickly getting out, as Steve Price is quick to remind us in a letter from a customer.
"To quote a recent letter from a guest at Lost Key, 'The best part of your establishment is the people. Many courses boast about how they view customer service and what the customer experience will be like, but your staff truly believes in it. From the clubhouse staff, to the starter and the grounds crew, you could tell everyone enjoyed being there and wanted to make sure my wife and I had a great time. I'll be back this fall for a week, and I can guarantee you that Lost Key is the only course I'll be playing
