For some a trip to Orlando or Tampa is worth it to satisfy their need for a high end restaurant. For many they won't go to any restaurant unless it is golf cart accessible. Yesterday (Sunday Aug 31st), Bob Evans was swamped with many seniors taking advantage of coupons that offered a buy one entrée get the second for free. When we moved here the most expensive premier home available was about $200k. Now there are homes in the million and up range and they seem to be selling. My point is, if there is a significant year round demand for the high end restaurants we will probably see them start showing up.

I seem to recall that this kind of question about what residents would like to see here in the Villages was on the annual survey.
