1. Dinner at The Lighthouse. Get outdoor seating at around sunset. Great view across the water and after you eat you are in walking distance of the LSL Town Square for the live outdoor entertainment.
2. Lunch at TooJays, preferably at Spanish Springs. Go on Wednesday and get the cabbage soup. It will be the Soup of the Day.
3. Katy Belles (at Spanish Springs) for dinner. Time your visit to enjoy the entertainment. See The Villages Daily Sun newspaper for details. You will need your Villages ID here because it is a private club. This is also a Sunday Brunch place.
4. R. J. Catfish at LSL for either lunch or dinner. Get outside seating beside the lake. Get a gator tail bite appetizer. (Tastes like chicken.) Don't buy dessert. Go next door to Hagen Dazs for ice cream. Again, if you are there for dinner, go to LSL Town Square for the live entertainment.
5. Either or both --- Arnold Palmer's or Nancy Lopez' country club for either lunch or dinner. I like going for lunch and sitting outside where I can watch people driving golf balls on the practice driving range.

Country clubs prefer that men wear a shirt with a collar. Shorts seem to be accepted everywhere for lunch or dinner.

Remember you are coming in Snowbird season so the wait time can be considerable at all of these places.... often an hour or more.

Enjoy your LSV...... this is an incredible place to live.
