While I do not own a restaurant, I know some who do, and can tell you that it is a hard business in the very best of times. Many fail, even without the additional challenge of today’s COVID crisis, supply chain issues, inflation and difficulty finding good help.

That said, I urge anyone who may feel they were poorly treated to try to resolve the issue with the restaurant manager or owner, before posting it on Talk of The Villages. I have found most restaurant owners very eager to work with you to rectify the situation.

Classic studies have shown that a publicly expressed complaint will reach an average of 22 people. Involving a social platform significantly increases that number. Many who hear it are likely to avoid the restaurant.

Please consider the impact your posts could have on the restaurant’s business before “going public” with them. Working with the restaurant is also likely to provide you a better outcome.

Thank you.
Been here in The Villages almost a year now and our best dining experiences have been outside the bubble. Inside the bubble our experiences have been like the title to the old movie The Good The Bad and The Ugly. Don’t be afraid to go outside the bubble, lol.
That being said you can’t beat The Villages for anything else. Wife and I love living in The Villages. Try using the Foursquare app and visit some restaurants a little outside the bubble once in a while.
If you do have a problem with any restaurant always ask to speak to the manager they maybe able to make it right.
I always take restaurant reviews here with a grain of salt, lol.
