However, anyone who went there 2x/month through that period either has a very strong stomach or a congenital absence of taste buds. I also didn't note any mention of the quality of the food or the service in the OP, just some "confusion" over the price.
Totally agree, several years ago it was our go to place to bring guests and everyone raved about the place. Suddenly, it was like a switch was flipped and the place went straight downhill to the point where it became embarrassing to bring guests there. 1812 was doomed from the get go with the same poor quality, without the view of Lake Sumter. At least the 1812 location is being taken over by a competent operator.

It’s highly doubtful that having a family that ran two restaurants very poorly will somehow suddenly be able to run one very well by focusing their efforts, but I hope they prove me wrong?
