2nd Bonefish in the Villages?

[Taltarzac725]

We went there last night and it was fairly crowded and often seems so even in the non snow bird season and with all the new people moving in south of CR466A you wonder if one Bonefish is enough?

Does anyone know if they have some limitation on the distance between these franchises?

The Georges Bank Sea Scallop and Shrimp Skewer was excellent as usual. I have that often and the server was quite attentive. :BigApplause:

They could easily put one on 466A in the Trailwinds development near Pinellas Plaza or even near Brownwood. With all the growth south of 466 it seems like a no-brainer.

THAT decision is made not by us, or The Villages but by the corporation that owns Bonefish and depends on whether they are expanding. I would have to think that The Morses would be very willing to build and accommodate an already thriving entity. They have done so with others;

Bob Evans, Cody's, and TooJays.

Yes, Bonefish is an excellent restaurant. Good happy hour and those Bang Bang Shrimp are delicious.

[Jimmy McNewman]

Yes new restaurants are needed. Bonefish or Outback would be great at Lake Deaton plaza but i notice banks going up in the outparcels facing cr44. How many more banks? I even wrote to Outback, Flanigans, Pollo Tropical. They all replied and said they would submit it to corporate. Morse and Villages need to get what is needed before more banks gobble up Lake Deaton Plaza. All we have is a Chinese takeout there. lol

Yea bonefish is fine dining

Not impressed with bonefish ..three out of three visits were very disappointing

[Cisco Kid]

Maybe a good place would be in the 4th square south of fenney.

I suggested to the corporate office of the Hauffbrau House that they should open in the now closed German restaurant in Brownwood. Answer was the Tampa location has a protected territory.

New business is Market driven, not by vote or need or want or request of the Morses.If the Corporate office of the restaurant you want is opening new places, than we may see those businesses here.

A second Bonefish............would that be: Bang Bang Bang Bang Shrimp???

Wow, guess they're concerned the Tampa spot would lose all the TV visits they get each night.:rolleyes:

The parent company that owns Outback, Bonefish, Carrabba’s and Flemings Steakhouse just closed several under performing locations not too long ago.
I don't see them jumping on the wagon to open a second one of any of these any time soon in the Villages.

I think if YOU call them and ask for a second one...........They will listen to Bonny from TV. I know I "dew".

It would be nice to have one at Brownwood and a Carrabba’s. Just far enough away from the one on 466 and Lady Lake. Population will grow down there. A super Walmart would be good down there also instead of the smaller neighborhood Walmart

Thanks for reminding me that they also own Flemings. I'll trade a second Bonefish for One Flemings!

I'm not an expert on the restaurant business, but I think a Bahama Breeze would be a huge hit here. Good food, the option to eat outside with a bar, fire pit, and a calypso or steel drum band, or eat inside. Inside is more quiet, while outside more of a party atmosphere. Not exactly fine dining, but a very nice, comfortable place with good food and reasonable prices. Anyone agree? I'd send them an email.

Your sarcasm drippeth!!

But Bonny is a great food reviewer. She knows the best of corporate dining.

We haven't been to that one, but I believe you're correct. We go to the one in front of the Altamonte Mall on Rt 436, and one on W. Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy Kissimmee when we golf at The Orange Resort.
