I really hope that the new people taking over the Restaurant on May 1st will make it a "go to "place. Those of us who live north of 466 don't have a lot of options when it comes to a good place to eat. We have Lopez (which is great) and Franchesco's (which I love), but after that, not so much. Glenview could become our favorite place again, with the right management. It has all the makings of the most Beautiful Country Club in The Villages. The drive is gorgeous and the interior, with a bit of refurbishing, could have the feel of a High End Country Club! A friendly face at the Front door would be a good start! Taking reservations would also be a good step as those of us who support the Restaurants in The Villages all year around would actually like to be able to get in during Snowbird Season. Lopez has figured that out and offers reservations. I think as places like Glenview and Lopez are refurbished and run by someone who is on site, they are going to give the other "country clubs" a run for their money.

I Like your post, feel exactly the same. In its glory days Glenview reminded us of one of the old Men Only Clubs that was hidden away in Boston, MA.
