Now Katie Bell's was a different story. Never heard why it closed. Happening place. The most fun inside venue in TV. Music and dancing on a real dance floor.
Who, why, was it killed ?
I still like SS. Americano's is my favorite restaurant in TV, unless I want to spend over $100 on a meal. Not so often.
Talking about over $100; and it seems every FMK has a fatal flaw - if not just attitude, , ,

Easy answer it was a moneypit with zero profit. KB’s was developer owned. Our lifestyle package included, 2 rounds of golf on any championship for two, tennis, classes, dinner at Palmer for two, anything on the menu, and lastly dinner at KBs for two which we were served salad, Lobster, steak, sides, and dessert, soft drinks and coffee. This was all included with our $50 night stay.
KB’s was highlighted as upscale dining, for residents only. Food was excellent. Once the developer no longer needed to give out free food things started to change. KB’s food started on a downward slope, tumbling into you didn’t want to embarrass yourself by taking guests.
There was free entertainment and dancing, which residents would take up a table for hours, order water and a drink, and sit for hours spending under $10.
Developer decided to make a two drink minimum, which also failed, then a time limit on tables, which basically angered people. When KBs was no longer profitable, after all the changes, it was closed.
