We eat out for lunch 2-4 times a week and dinner 3-5 times per week. In the nine years and one month we have lived here we have eaten in at least 381 different restaurants, 69 of which are either out of business or under new ownership. The average distance is about 30 miles and ranges from a half mile to Havana CC to almost 100 miles for a handful of places. We have been to 168 of those more than once. There are many restaurants with good to excellent food, atmosphere, views and combinations of those attributes in Orlando, Tampa, Gainesville, and many of the smaller communities around The Villages. Get out and explore the surrounding areas for a change of pace. We probably eat outside The Villages about 65% of the time. The one drawback is you will soon realize what is often stated on here, much of the food here inside the bubble is of decent quality which can be priced for the majority of the audience served.
