Having just returned from a two week vacation in seacoast Maine, the restaurant prices were exhorbitant.......but you pay it as it's part of the experience. If one doesn't want to pay the high prices, just as easy to prepare the stuff at home, courtesy of a good cookbook.
But, folks go out to dine for a reason........to enjoy something different and so that they do not have to cook it themselves.
Restaurants have a lot of overhead, especially in resort areas.........
Plus........food is perishable and has to be restocked daily.
The customer shares in these costs.......
Personally, I can't see quibbling over a few dollars....but that's me.

Let's just say that this is YOUR opinion. Where I moved from (The midwest), restaurant food was 20-25% lower than in TV.... for the same food,. I would imagine they have pretty much the same overhead in both places, (minus what the Villages takes from the restaurant). Also, grocery store food is 20-25% HIGHER in TV. Having said this, it is what it is. It's just that we all hail from different places before moving here, and obviously the cost of living differs from place to place, so to say that it is not high here, just doesn't apply to everyone.
