I’m not asking for a good Washuko or even a Wagyu A5 in butter sauce, just some options that don’t seem like they come from Applebees Maybe the occasional something special. Trust me, you won’t find most great dishes inside the villages. If you want over seasoned, poorly prepared and rushed food though, they are here to serve you.

Don't disagree, but realistically, I don't think it's much different than the typical 125k community anywhere. We lived in a small (139K) community about 30 miles from Chicago, definitely had to go to the city for the options you mentioned, great duck in China Town, Wagyu beef, etc. I do think people who live IN the city move here expecting all the options of the city, Greek town, China Town, Little Italy, etc. The Villages originally was the retirement mecca of the midwest, working class, small to medium town people. Winter park, not far, offers some decent options.
