This includes the best happy hour in The Villages 3-7:30 pm $1.50 beer and $2.00 well liquor. I lunch with my ladies group monthly and they have always been very accommodating. They have also expanded the seating outside. I think that the prices are very reasonable for such a beautiful, upscale place. It is the best kept secret in The Villages!

In April I stayed at the Waterfront during my TV visit and I was very impressed with Amelia's. The food was wonderful and the atmosphere quite good. Service was good and I especially appreciate how they treated the small groups of ladies having lunch. Seemed like they were very accommodating and the ladies had a good time.

The next day, Nonie and I had lunch on the veranda (Chels joined us later) and the atmosphere and view were fantastic. Made for a lovely luncheon for us g/friends.

I like the place and plan to visit more often. Kathie
