My husband and I live in Moraga Country Club, and love it!  It's safe and secure,and  is very well-manged and maintained.  We have a new clubhouse and pool, opened less than a year.  The new facilities are beautiful and  functional.  Pool and clubhouse are always clean and fresh.  The restaurant got off to a rocky start, but there is a new chef and the staff have been well trained, and now it's a great place with excellent food and service.  We don't use the tennis courts or golf course, so I can't comment on those.  All staff members we've ever encountered have been pleasant, friendly, helpful, and, most important, very competent at their jobs.
Review Source:Don't ask but i ended up here recently and was wowed.
I'm not a country club gal by ANY stretch so I'm not going to tell you to fire so and so because they aren't performing to my standards.
I just know what I like, what's aethestically pleasing to me and what tastes good. Â Thus I yelp.
For the short visit, I found the facilities to be meticulously kept, the staff to be 100% on their game and the ladies lounge to be nothing short of luxurious.
the end
This is a review for the restaurant, and is not a criticism of the facilities in general:
Fire the restaurant management, fire the chef, fire the person who hired them both. (The service staff will be ok with some training.) Seriously. One of the most incompetent, across the board, dining experiences I've had.
-Waiter has no idea what's on the menu or in any of the dishes. All questions about the menu need to be referred to the kitchen. Waiter asks the table for drink orders, there aren't any drinks listed on the menu. There isn't a drinks menu. We ask about beer and wine, and amazingly they don't serve any - does the management want to make money? It's hard to believe. All options are soft drinks (soda, tea, coffee), despite what appears to be a bar next door in the same building. Yes, I realize that a liquor license is expensive and can be difficult to get, but that isn't a very good excuse for something trying to be fine dining.
-The stuff coming out of the kitchen is Denny's level cooking. Burgers arrive well done when ordered medium rare, yet somehow the "challah" bun is still pasty disintegrating. Served with pasty, anemic tomatoes, a slice of lettuce, and a bun slathered in mayo. Cute ramekins of condiments, but the mustard appears to be French's or some other cheap yellow mustard, and the fries appear to be straight out of a freezer bag. Calamari appetizer served with big pieces of overly firm chopped tomatoes that taste straight from the can with some dried herbs, slathered with mayo from a squeeze bottle. Bread served at the table is going stale, served with weird tiny cold butter balls.
-Service staff clearly has little to no training. They attempted some kind of formal service thing where five or so people gathered around the table to serve all of the food at once, but it was extremely clunky and they didn't know whose dish was whose. Some of the waiters did T.G.I.Friday's type uncomfortable casual banter, some were silent, all while gathered around the table. Just weird. While it's great that they're trying, it seems like there can't be anyone providing leadership and service training for them.
-Decor is reminiscent of an old folks' home. Our table shook like crazy because the legs weren't all touching the floor. Napkins are already threadbare, rough, and falling apart, left a ton of fluff on my pants. This place has been open what, a couple months?
It'd be great if Moraga had a nice semi-formal restaurant. It'd be great if the country club's dining facilities could be a nearby enjoyable place for those who live in the club. Sadly, it seems like the food is just as forgettable (or worse) than it was before the renovation.
