PORTLAND — The city will operate the restaurant at Riverside Municipal Golf Course this season after rejecting two proposals by private operators.

The city asked for proposals for Bogey’s, the restaurant, in February and received two responses, but both failed to fully satisfy the city’s requirements, said Nicole Clegg, a spokeswoman for Portland.

Clegg also noted that the city is expected to look at the operation of the golf course and consider options to have a private company take over management. She said city operation of the restaurant makes sense as a “stop-gap” measure while that review is conducted.

The restaurant will be run by the food service operation at the Barron Center, Clegg said, which also runs the Clock Tower Cafe in CIty Hall. She said the menu would likely be similar to the one in the City Hall cafe, with sandwiches and salads, and the city will be applying for a liquor license to be able to operate the bar in the restaurant.

Clegg said the city plans to make some minor renovations to the golf course restaurant, but expects it will be open by the time the course begins to draw golfers regularly.
