The Glenn Lakes Clubhouse

Last weekend I met up with some friends from college in Weeki Wachee Florida, right outside of Tampa. We spent the weekend relaxing and catching up on old times. We spent our days kayaking, lounging poolside, beaching it, and of course eating. Over the course of our stay we went to a local hole in the wall, a chain restaurant and the Clubhouse. We were staying in gated community in which there is a clubhouse on the premise that offers a restaurant along with a gym, pool, tennis courts, etc. We went to the Clubhouse Sunday morning for brunch.

We stared our meal off with a shared fruit plate. Even though it was basic fruit plate fare, the fruit was fresh and juicy, the perfect accompaniment to a balmy Florida morning.

Emily, who is generally not a fan of breakfast, ordered a half soup half sandwich combo. Her sandwich being turkey and swiss with lettuce and tomato on wheat; her soup an intriguing combination of cauliflower and lobster melded into a creamy bisque. Emily raved about the bisque, praising it’s “creaminess” above all.


Kelly ordered the “club breakfast” which was composed of white toast, two eggs over easy, bacon and homefries. Kelly enjoyed her breakfast, stating that it’s hard to go wrong with something as basic as eggs and toast.


Natalie and I decided to each order and entrée and then split them. Natalie ordered the belgian waffle with strawberries. I ordered a frittata made with baked egg whites and submerged under a medley of cheese, salsa, and veggies including spinach, julienne tomatoes, onions, broccoli, and red pepper. The frittata came with whole wheat toast and homefries.




After some serious foodie contemplation Natalie and I came to the conclusion that while we loved the fresh strawberries on the waffles, the waffles themselves were a little overcooked, and lacking in fluffiness. They were ok, but not of the high waffle caliber we were expecting. However, we both really enjoyed our frittata. We liked the addition of the salsa whose spiciness gave the frittata a nice kick, and sauciness saved it from being too dry.


We completed our meal with hot chocolates around the table. One can rarely go wrong with hot chocolate, and this whipped cream capped glass of chocolate love was no exception.


Thank you Dad and Mary for financing this lovely brunch!!!!!
