Gracie - I believe you are onto something with us trying to outlive our savings. I would be willing to bet most of us need to remain conscious of what we spend on eating out and need prices to be reasonable to do so; therefore, the food is usually adequate. I think dining out in The Villages is designed to satisfy your social desire rather than your palate. The conflict comes in when people choose to dine out every night, I suspect that gets very boring when it comes to food. I learned early on having special friends in my home for dinner works much better - food is good, we can hear each other, and it is very relaxing. To each his own.
