Try Pieces Rising in Mount Dora. Nice setting, good food, good wine list. Not gourmet but good. Also the town is a nice place to walk around for an afternoon before dinner. Burns, think that's the name, in Tampa that's a really good steak house with an excellent wine list.
In the Villages, nothing is close to gourmet and wine lists are VERY basic. Lopez is good, Glenview is decent, Havana was good, have not tried since new management, but that is for food only. I guess there must be something nice in Ocala but I have not found it yet.
I would think there would be a business opportunity in The Villages for a high end place with an extensive wine list. Most people like to go to a really nice place at least a couple times a year and there is nothing close to that I have found with in the reservation.
