I've lived here about six years and have seen several restaurants come and go. Italian, Mexican, seafood, etc., all closed. Those that remain provide a level of cuisine and service that the majority of residents and visitors enjoy. This isn't New York, or Chicago, or LA, or Dallas, or Nawlins. The demographics here will not support the type of restaurants you describe.
Villagers vote for places they like with their wallets. Those that remain do so because they meet the expectations of most customers. If the establishments here are so mediocre, why is it difficult to get in January through April?
Frankly, I moved here for much more than the local cuisine. I don't need anyone to feel sorry for me. I do wonder about people who come to Central Florida and expect to find the same things they had in a major metropolitan area. Ain't happening.
