That is because MOST people who live in The Villages are not wealthy like you are.
Would you say that most entree's are over ten dollars in most of those restaurants?
AND What makes them good to YOU? Are they reminiscent of the kind of food YOU are used to from the area you grew up in? I am guessing you are Italian. I had my first home cooked Italian meal when we moved to The Villages.
I think people in TV choose moderately priced restaurants and dine out more frequently than they did before they retired. High priced restaurants fail because they are simply too expensive for frequent visits for most people who are watching their money.
