Marlborough Country Club

Have you ever been to a country club restaurant where everyone is busy schmoozing in their shorts, treats the place like it’s their living room, complete with shrieking children wrestling on the ground, sweaty teenagers running in to get free cereal from the dispensers against the wall, the staff is related to other diners so spends their time babysitting or otherwise chatting such that you have to get your own silverware, ask for plates and are not offered coffee at the end of the meal but the food is good except that when he presents the bill for members the previously friendly host discovers that you are not members and suddenly becomes chilly and monosyllabic in spite of the fact that he knew you had a Groupon because you said so when you made the dinner reservation on a Saturday night while some of the people with children at another table loudly suggest to the people they are dining with that they play Russian Roulette with the check because they can’t afford to pay for their meal because the membership fees are so high?
It was exactly like that.

Went for lunch and sat out on the deck. Weather was beautiful which added to the ambiance.
Spinach salad was great, bbq sliders were great also. My friend ordered a turkey wrap but they forgot to put the dressing on it. Bloody Mary’s were really watery so I don’t recommend those.

I had my surprise bridal shower here and it was great. The staff was very friendly and the place was updated and clean. We had the tortellini primavera and salad. Great place for a function.

Awesome food, probably the best restaurant in Marlborough, not overpriced and the atmosphere is very nice. Great place for private functions as well

Very nice restaurant. Has outside seating, friendly wait staff, and amazing food!

I had a nice meal here. The staff was very friendly and the food was prepared and presented well. The drinks from the bar were very good. The bartender was awesome.

My husband and I decided to go to dinner last night (Friday), and after debating about where we should go, we decided on the Marlborough Country Club.
He had been raving about it for years, because he used to go there often for the prime rib. I called around 7PM and made a reservation for 8PM, they had space available, so we went.
I wasn’t very impressed.
The décor was nice. Low light, night ambiance. Only two other tables seated and eating, all of the other tables were cleared completely. I didn’t like the fact that they had trays stationed around the dining room where they put dirty dishes, that sat there for a while and another tray stand with a rack of silverware, it detracted from the décor. The lounge sounded like it was busy though.
The hostess was sweet and although our server was nice, I could tell she was trying to get a lot of things done because it was toward the end of the night. I wasn’t impressed with the waitstaff attire, as I thought it was supposed to be a fine dining restaurant. I dress nicer to serve lunch where I work. There were other servers who were hollering at each other from across the dining room when they needed something. Happened a few times.
I ordered a glass of wine, my husband a beer. My wine glass was not polished, was streaky, and you could smell the dish cleaner. I asked for another glass.
We both ordered the prime rib, me the queen cut, he the king cut. Although very generous in size, it was meh. I would rather have prime rib at the 99. They also covered it with a kind of gravy/​Worcestershire/​A-​1 sauce, we weren’t impressed with that.
I got a garden salad with mine, which consisted mostly of iceberg lettuce and the fixings. Was average. I also had my husband’s clam chowder, it was good, not great, but good.
The baked potato I had on the other hand, wasn’t very clean. I could feel grains of sand between my teeth. Although their vegetable, which I believe was ratatouille, was pretty good, with a nice spiciness to it.
All in all, a lot of meat. If you’re looking for quantity over quality, the prime rib here will fit the bill.
We will not be going back.
P. S. There is no dress code online, although I thought it was supposed to be a fine dining restaurant, we did dress up, but after the experience, I don’t think we needed to.

I’ll admit, I put off trying this restaurant for a long time because I was intimidated by the «country club» in the name. I feel kind of foolish for that now. It’s a nice restaurant, but it’s not like the servers or patrons are wearing tuxedos or anything. I’ve eaten in the dining room and had a great dinner (veal marsala). I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice night out.
I’ve eaten in the dining room once and the bar twice. The bar is actually right up my alley. The appetizer menu is great bar food. The stuffed mushrooms are a real treat, since you never see them on a menu. The chicken wings are awesome. Nice and crispy, just how I like them. I’ve been back several times and I can’t get enough of those wings. Wicked good. They will be closed from New Year’s to about Feb 15^th. Total bummer. I don’t know where I’ll get my wing fix in the meantime :(

Had an excellent dinner at the Country Club. Prime Rib was perfectly done and Baked Stuffed Shrimp was very tasty. Will definitely go back. Not overpriced either.

We recently chose Marlborough Country Club as the venue for my daughter’s bridal shower primarily because of its central location to both the bride and grooms families. The luncheon rates were reasonable and from what we’d heard from others we anticipated that the food and service would be good. We were not the least bit disappointed. Our entrée selections were delectable, fresh broiled salmon/​roast stuffed chicken breast were cooked to perfection, veggies were wonderfully prepared and seasoned and all was served piping hot. The wait staff sliced and served out cake which was decorated with beautiful fresh flowers and took the time to plate a flower with each slice for the bridesmaids. Our function coordinator Ann Marie was extremely helpful and the staff was most accommodating. We were pleased to find out that the Country Club also has a full service restaurant and will likely become regulars!
