Default What is the best Villages restaurant

We are new to the Villages and love eating out. So far our favorites are the Lighthouse Point Bar and Grill and Palmer Legends.

At the Lighthouse we sat outside with an incredible view and had the Seafood grill with shrimp, scallop and haddock with lots of onion strings. All were cooked to perfection.

At Palmer Legends we had the petite filet with scallop and shrimp and the special twin lobster tails. All were cooked perfectly.

Where else should we try?

For Italian I love Little Joeys up North in TV. We also enjoy Eaton Beacn off of 42 I believe. Hurricaine is off 441 just over the Tavares line. Good pub grub and a neat setting. Bonefish and Carrabas never disappoint us. Oak wood for ribs or Bar be cue. These are not all right in TV but near enough.

We like Bonefish, Lopez Country Club and Glenview.
And Eaton's Beach (for the ambiance).

I pretty much like every place. If I don't have to cook, it all works for me. LOL

We also like the Lighthouse. You should try

Stumpknockers

Dunnellon FL
The food was great! There are two in Fl., local owned.
it's about a 45 minute drive but worth it. you can go to there web site and view the menu.
