VERY GLAD to hear that the renovated OB restaurant is so good and get this link to their
OB Website

Looks like they might have music in the future too. Yippee, I live here!

We were there yesterday at 4:30 with a party of ten. Luckily, one couple got there at 4:00 and got a table - at 4:30 there was a 45 minute wait. Parking lot was full and had to park on the grass on the circle that goes around the restaurant and pool area. The sports bar is gone. Tiki Hut is gone. Restaurant looked 1,000 % better than it used to.

Service was very good but that many change soon when the reduce the large contingent of wait staff. Fried chicken appetizer was a meal for two if you add soup and salad. Most of our party had the $12.95 fish and chips (maybe they were looking tone it down before thanksgiving?). The fish was nothing to write home about (Athens is my fav).

Selective $1 off happy hour ends at 5 PM - lots of drinks served all around at 4:45.

Line of people still outside the main entrance when we left at 6 PM.

Maybe they'll reopen the Paradise Rec Center restaurant that was closed about 10 years ago?

We tried Orange Blossom Hills Thursday night for dinner. GREAT redesign, similar inside setup to Evans Prairie's bar. I ordered the Chicken Fettuccine and my husband ordered the Steak Rigatoni. Both presentations excellent but very bland. We both like seasonings and we both asked for the parmesian and I used lots of salt and pepper. Next we will try Belle Glade but for now, my favorite Country Club restaurant (for ambiance, view and entertainment) is Evan's Prairie....HOWEVER NOBODY beats Lopez's "signature salmon"...

We at at OBH CC Saturday night. My husband had the Steak rigatoni and he said it was delicious. It has much, too much garlic for my sensitive gullet. I had the lime, mango chicken. We had the potato croquettes and Thai chili chicken wings as appetizers. Everything was presented beautifully and tasted even better. He said the steak rigatoni was fabulous. My only complaint was a little too much lime on the chicken. It overpowered the mango flavoring. The Yukon gold mashed potatoes and vegetables were perfect. I'm so proud of our country club.

That's what my hubby and I had. We both loved the meals. Delish !!

Waiting for them to reinstate the all-you-can-eat crab legs they had before they closed for remodeling.

Probably one of the thing that drove them out of business in the first place.

Think it's easy to run a restaurant?

Too spicy, too bland, just perfect all comments on exactly the same dish.

I love all you can eat as well, but every time I go to one, unless it's a Chinese buffet, I wonder how the place stays in business.

If I'm not mistaken the restaurant business has the highest failure rate of any business.

Yes they are. Fred has Orange Blossom, Belle Glade, Bonifay, Evan's Prairie and Scooples.

Food is pretty good and patio area is great! Cons are: 1) Pool closes at 6:00pm so the pool cleaners sometimes arrive while you are trying to enjoy a quiet dinner/drinks on the patio and the pool cleaners and their equipment are loud; 2) If you eat inside for dinner any time after 7:00pm be ready to put up with the servers cleaning up for closing--that includes the vacuuming; 3) Inside lighting is too bright and decorating is austere--reminds us of a nursing home atmosphere. With some good management and some decorating OB could be the best in TV!

The management team for all the restaurants, as noted above, is probably the best in TV.
Been there for lunch and did not feel I was eating in a nursing home!
BTW did you share the issues with mangement? If not how do they know you were not satisfied?

[vegmum]

Kelly FLNC, are you sure you were in Orange Blossom? They don't have a vacuum.

[outlaw]

This is a sticky?

[coconutmama]

Thanks so much for the recommendation. We have company coming in April & will check it out. A nice golf cart ride.

[Kellyflnc]

It might be one of those Bissells. Anyway, who wants to be eating while servers are cleaning up around them? As customers, are we really considered that bottom of the ladder? Are we that much of a captive audience?

[Kellyflnc]

Yes, we did share with the management who was not the least bit concerned
