When I lived on the historic side, I frequently went to the Orange Blossom Hills restaurant for lunch or Sunday brunch buffet. I'd liken it to the Golden Corral on 466, in price, food quality, ambience and cleanliness.
If you want an inexpensive and filling meal, either restaurant will do, but let's not kid ourselves that either is a gourmet experience. The furniture and decorations at OBH were 20 years past their expiration date and everything felt just a little sticky, including the carpet.
It'd be nice if a new owner would take over the lease, but if Chip wasn't able to make a go of it financially, it doesn't look good. There are so many other country clubs and restaurant choices in TV it's a hard slog, and the restaurant business is difficult even under optimal conditions.
Heck, I still miss El Santiago!
