Let's take for example the Lunch and Dinner menus and prices of one of my favorite restaurants in Tampa. Please look at the food available and the prices and tell me if you consider this "high end" enough, or are you seeking something fancier.
Columbia Restaurant
And then take a look of one of the longest running and most successful steak houses in Tampa, and tell me if prices and presentations need to be at this level to be considered "high end."
Bern's Steak House - Our Steaks
Which, if either, would you be inclined to frequent regularly if they had a presence in The Villages? Incidentally, the Columbia is a Spanish Cusine restaurant (not Mexican or Tex-Mex.) Bern's Steak House also has excellent fresh seafood. |
Thank you for your post. I am salivating about Columbia and Bern's looks absolutely divine. Clearly Bern's prices are higher than Columbia. Columbia is not that expensive compared to mediocre restaurants in San Francisco and Boston. But I would certainly go for a special occasion--after fasting for three days first!
