Either a bad night for Bern or a very good one for Cattle Baron. Bye the bye, this thread is supposed to be for the Villages, so, who cares about steak houses in Chicago, L.A., N.Y. Etc. I cannot drive to those locales within 1:15 hrs.
Putting your favorite eating place on this thread that is not within travleing distance is a waste. If you want, why not start some threads about eating places in your home town so that people who are visiting or on vacation will at least have some idea as to where they might get a decent meal?
How about dinner locales and suggestions to those travelling N/S along 95, 75, 81 or E/W along 10, 20, 40, etc.  |
Sorry that you had a bad experience at Bern's (either that or you can't tell a world class piece of beef from mediocre meat). I've eaten at some of the more well known steak houses in NY, Miami, Kansas City and Chicago and none of them compared to Bern's. I've eaten there at least a dozen times and they never had an off night when I dined there.
Granted, they are not cheap, but for a special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) it is a wonderful experience.
The OP did not say "in TV", but in the vicinity of TV. I guess it all boils down to the definition of "vicinity." Certainly Bern's isn't a place you would hop into your golf cart for a quick dinner, but many on this board do travel to Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, etc. on occasion and I see nothing wrong with a poster sharing info on one of the better restaurants that is not too far away. You might not want to drive an hour and a half for a great meal, but I'm sure others might on occasion.
