Chain restaurants just don't cut it for us and the courntry clubs we have visted (Cane Garden, Havana and Arnold Palmer) have been pretty disappointing. Any suggestions of places inside or outside of TV?
We had a similar experience trying to find places to eat. If you like sushi and sashimi, Sakura on 466A is good. Some of the pasta dishes at Red Sauce in Sumter Landing were good but there's nothing like homemade pasta! Have you tried Giovanni's in one of the shopping centers on 466? You have to get there early if you don't want to wait for a table but the linguini and clams is very good. Other than that, you have to travel outside The Villages for good restaurants. If you like German food and are up for a ride, there is a great place that won awards in Sanford outside of Orlando called Hallenbach's (sp?) Willow Tree Cafe - great German food and entertainment!! Good luck.
