Bern's Steakhouse, Tampa - Took the MIL there for her 90th. She loved it! Desert upstairs is also a must. Expensive, but perfect for a special occasion.

Francesca's Trattoria, Gainesville, Northern Italian, Went for Valentines Day and have been several other times.

Fish Bones, Lake Mary, Excellent steaks and seafood. Again one of our special occasions places.

Closer to The Villages, Goblin Market, Mt Dora. Braised Onion, Ocala and Mesa de Notte Ristorante, Ocala all are reasonably upscale with decent atmosphere for a special occasion.

My one knock against Turner's would be the atmosphere which I find not much different than the country clubs in The Villages.

All of the restaurants mentioned by me have websites to check menus, etc..
