Gourmet Treats
Ask any Houstonian about summer in H-Town & they’ll likely extol the virtues of air
conditioning, iced tea, big hats & lots of sunscreen. Our Members are no exception.
There’s the lingering scent of Hawaiian Tropic & plenty of straw hats to be seen out on
the course, everyone’s carrying an icy water bottle, & ROCC’s air conditioners are
pumping out cold, dry air as fast as they can! But the Club delivers respites from the
sultry summer in delicious & tempting ways as well! The Bistro Lounge offers up a
wide array of delightful, chilled wines & frozen cocktails. The Palm Grille provides
swimmers & sunbathers with a poolside menu that includes Jolly Rancher popsicles &
various flavors of snow cones. Chef Jae Mackenzie has created tasty, fresh seasonal
fare for The Bistro menu, including an array of crisp, delicious salads. And not to
brag, but he’s also concocted one of the most luscious strawberries &cream ice cream’s
ever! So whether it’s a refreshing libation, a frozen temptation, or a fresh, light meal,
ROCC Members have many options to keep them cool & comfortable all summer long.
