First the disclaimer, I'm in the business. We have 3 hotels, 2 full-service with restaurants and banquet facilities. We probably served about 1000 Thanksgiving dinners today. I can guarantee, no one who ate our hotels, had a better dinner than I had at Palmer Legends tonight.
I got back to The Villages around 7 pm and went to the bar at PL and had their Turkey Dinner. Other than they didn't have Apple Cider (which might just be a New England thing), my dinner was as perfect as a restaurant could make it. Way more than enough food. Turkey was cooked perfectly. Potatoes were excellent. Green beans and stuffing were great. Even the gravy (of which I'm not a fan) was very good.
Service was good, price was reasonable, food was hot ... by far, my best dining experience in the year I've been in The Villages.

Thanks for answering! I have to admit that every time there is a restaurant related post for good food I am completely perplexed at why Palmer is not listed as the best in The Villages. Part of me wants to keep it quiet in a way so I can still get a seat
, but another part of me wants to just shout from a rooftop that if you want excellent food with superb service, Palmer is the best place to go.
The cup of lobster bisque with a Filet Oscar and a Cabernet Sauvignon is AMAZING. Escargot, shrimp cocktail...oh dang... I am not kidding when I say that I have never had anything there I would rate less than an "A", and usually an "A+".
