Now thats dining--not eating
Sounds excellent- but do you honestly believe such a restaurant could make a profit in The Villages? The dining experiences you mention would be in the $75+ per person range PLUS 20% tip. If you read on TOTV, most posters are complaining at the $15 meals in restaurants.

Sure, you say, we go to Orlando for an anniversary and pay those prices - but how many times a month would you do it? Lots of people every night (all seasons) is how a restaurant stays open.
