How much is perspective - and a suggestion
We are not yet villagers and certainly didn't have time to visit all the offerings on our 7 day Lifestyle Preview. I agree with those posters that are looking for more upscale dining, however. While I agree that a Ruths' Chris type restaurant may have a difficult time attracting a consistent clientele it would be nice to have other offerings. Even something like Cheesecake Factory which has such a huge menu would be welcome. While some have indicated most are looking for "cheap eats" it appears with the prices quickly rising on new homes that more affluent residents will be arriving!
So much depends on perspective. Those villagers who have lived most of their lives in small towns and villages most likely find the shopping and dining offerings in the villages plentiful. Those of us who have lived in larger cities may bemoan the loss of the opportunities we left behind.
I do, however, have a suggestion for those of you looking for a good steak. Have you tried the filet at Carrabba's? When they first opened here in Louisville, we were eager to try a new Italian restaurant. (Being from the northeast where there are TONS of great Italian eateries, we were disappointed with the local offerings!) Our first few visits were the Italian entrees which we enjoyed. However, on one visit our server recommended the filet marsala and we were hooked! It was actually a better steak that we have had at some of the "upscale" restaurants mentioned by other posters! It's offered with 3 other toppings besides the marsala - bryan is one and I can't remember the others. Give it a try and let us all know what you think!
