Done with Havana

[joeyd]

Have tried Havana Country Club for breakfast and dinners on a few occasions. Always have had very slow service. The last time we waited for 45 minutes for breakfast to be served once our order was placed.
The food is always of poor quality and is usually served cold.
They have a bad reputation throughout The Villages. What doe's it take for the management there to wake up and get things right?

Gee this is the second club that has been flagged for bad food in the past two days. Maybe I should ask, "Where are the clubs with the good food?"

[memason]

Easy Answer: Cane, Palmer and Lopez :D

[shcisamax]

Now I know why my husband wanted to buy on Palmer :)

[Bill32]

Easy Answer: Cane, Palmer and Lopez :D

Mallory is pretty good also:mmmm:

[villagerjack]

WE also like Mallory.

[chuckinca]

Glenview has the best view and the food and service are good.

And as far as Havana, I have been there for early dinner about three times in the past few months with our card group of 10 or so and nobody has had any issues.

Nothing wrong with Orange Blossom.

Why are some of the restaurants fabulous and some marginal? Are they not all administered by TV? We were really excited about living very close to Bonifay but with the consistently poor food comments coming out of there, we won't be taking advantage of it as we thought. :(

Most are not administered by TV. None are fabulous. Some are just less marginal than the others. Cane, Glenview and Mallory treat golfers terribly by refusing to seat them until all players are in the waiting area. That's not how golf club restaurants should work.

[shcisamax]

So they are privately bid on and whoever gets it runs it the way they want? I have to think then if people stop going, they will get the message and fix it so it is well run? This is the first thing I have heard on this site that TV doesn't have covered. So if the club house restaurants aren't good, where are the best restaurants in TV? I don't discriminate on type of food ...just good food.

Says who - you - If I am waiting for a table I do not want to see chairs with nobody in them, while I wait. IMO I think it is the greatest rule - go to McDonalds, if you want to save seats - remember if you dont like the rules you dont have to play - BTW the Westchester Country Club does not allow seating of golfers unless everyone is present --- You can wait at the bar -- if you do not like it, you can always withdraw you membership -- Thank You

[missypie]

Yes I can understand how the golfers feel about waiting. On the other hand when it comes to running a restaurant things flow better when the entire group whatever group, comes in at the same time.

I suggest you go to Bonifay and see for yourself. Remember everyone has different expectations when visiting a restaurant.

[NotGolfer]

We went to Bonifay for the first time this week and had wonderful service, food etc. The manager even came around and chatted with folks (us included) just to make sure we were happy and satisfied. He gets kudos from us for doing that, as well!

Most of us are from different areas of the country, have had the opportunity (and resources) to have "fine" dining. The Villages is really quite new if you think about it, so it's a 'work in progress'. I really can't say we've had any bad experiences here----but then our expectations haven't been set as high---didn't have the resources for the "fine dining" to measure ALL of this by. If it's served in a timely, hot and relatively tasteful way...then we've been satisfied. :icon_hungry:

[Mikeod]

It's pretty obvious that there are different expectations when it comes to eating at the "Country Clubs". For the most part, these are not the clubs people think about when they were "up north". IMO, they range from what I would expect at an upscale semi-private club to what I see at muni courses. That, coupled with the apparent inconsistency in food and service, creates the differing opinions on whether the clubs are good or not so good. Some of the clubs are more consistent in food and service and usually garner the most favorable reviews. Others . . . . flip a coin and take your chances.

I remember when I first got here, I was told to avoid Palmer at all costs. Now I read positive reviews. Mallory was terrible for a while, now seems much better. Tierra got terrible reviews for a while. Cane seems to have avoided the swings in fortune. Anyone who went to Havana when it first opened would have been happy. I remember a nice prime rib special. They also had a nice lunch sandwich menu one summer that disappeared, perhaps because so many liked it??

This time of year I don't think anyone in management at these clubs really cares. They have more business than they can handle. Reality hits May through September when all they have is us frogs. Treat me well in the high season and you'll see me in the summer. Treat me poorly in the winter and you won't see me when you need me.

AND in these country club restaurants.......on the right side of the menu, the prices are quite easy on the pocketbook. It is nothing like most country club prices and many are quite decent food for very moderate price. Always love to eat an Glenview, Cane and Mallory and Lopez for special events, because it's pricier as is Palmer.

Havana....is good and bad in turns. They get themselves together for Friday and Saturday night...but sometimes it's great and sometimes not. If you have a great veteran cook in the kitchen and you know how to train servers....and the place is clean...what else is there? I can't figure out why this can't happen.

[geri317]

Mallory is one of my favorites. Great pizza!

[paulandjean]

If you have a bad meal, remember you can eat again,just a few hours later. Not the end of the world.

[Bill-n-Brillo]

Heh-heh!! :D

Then again, you've got the other possible combinations: good food and poor service, etc. Plus throw in day of week, lunch/dinner........this could go on for a while!

That's the key,you get decent food at very moderate prices in TV.With the prices you pay here, it's a "you get what you pay for" scenario. The country club prices at home are ridiculous compared to TV. When i get a meal in TV that is not up to my expectations ,i am alot more forgiving and less vocal than i am back home.:mmmm:

What kind of prices are we talking at these clubs? Any menus available to post? When we were down last year I saw ads in The Sun for $10.99 Sunday Brunches. What can you expect at that price?

Interesting review from Google.

"I'm 26, but I like to come here and pretend that I'm 66. I take advantage of the awesome happy hour deals, listen to the live Jimmy Buffett covers and eat an enjoyable, cheap meal. The decor is super cute and the place is kept up well (as is the case with anything the Morse family does). The servers are charming and helpful and the food is better than most in the area. In short, go for the atmosphere, drinks and food... in that order."
and this......
"Top shelf from the minute we walked in. Happy hour all day. Manager and staff do what ever it takes to keep customers happy! Food excellent. Beautiful deck overlooking golf course! We will deffenitely be back!"

Let me get this straight ....

Saving seats at the square = Bad
Saving seats at the country clubs = Good

Do I understand this correctly? :icon_wink: :laugh:

Yesterday a group of us decided to stop at cane for drinks...They would NOT let us sit inside as that was reserved for "eaters"..there was no place left outside except for the entrance veranda..We sat there..I, alone wanted to eat as I'm single and didn't want to cook..They informed me they would NOT serve me food there..I don't get it..Seems like they are taking advantage of the winter crowd and are long term blinded..I love their bar, but after meeting the rude hostess,I doubt I'll be back...Nor the 16 members of my group...

[billethkid]

make sure you tell the management. Just not going back changes nothing except you lose a nice place to go to if fixed.

The manager is responsible for how his people serve the public or not and is most likely the real culprit in the scheme. However, he should be told why he is losing customers....SOMETIMES they do catch on or wake up.

Let me see if I got this right --- there were 16 people wanting to sit inside the restaurant area of Cane and have some drinks (maybe one drink each) this is the area where people usually have dinner and spend maybe $25 on food and then a drink or two - but your group wanted to have a drink in that area - and was told "NO" --- There were no seats for 16 people outside only at the entrance veranda, where they would not serve the one person who wanted to eat, and the reason he was hungry was because he is single and does like to cook ( solution to you problem - get married or learn to like cooking ) so anyway you as spokesman for the group of 16 will not go back to Cane. If I owned Cane, and my manager told me this story I would give him a raise. I wonder why the place was so crowded - maybe all the winter people who should have to wait until the frogs are all seated ---I really hope Cane makes it through July and Aug without declaring chapter 11 as i really like it there and i guess there will be 16 vacant seats this summer - sorry 15 - I will be there.


Oh dont forget to tell the manager he probably dont catch on why he is doing so well without you and the 15 others
Seems like most posters on this site go right to the manager -- has anyone called the manage to tell him it was a GREAT meal or GREAT service

[rp001]

Just to make it clear as I wasn't so before..There was only 6 of us at this time that was stuck outside..There typically is 16 in our group...The inside restaurant was darn near empty..I think I'll pass on your marriage proposal..thanks for asking...

[Cynbod]

My husband, daughter and I went to Tierra del Sol for dinner last evening. It was fabulous. The food was great, the service excellent and the entertainment superb. We had never been in the restaurant and I had read many not so great accounts of the place. What a surprise. This is a place we will certainly go back to. :BigApplause: :BigApplause:

[zendog3]

I have eaten there several times. But I am glad you are boycotting Havana -- that will make it easier for me to get a spot at the bar.:clap2:

[damily]

We've been to Bonifay countless times and have never had a bad meal. Their breakfast buffet is phenomenal - and for $5.99!! Can't be beat. But i Totally agree on Havana. I keep giving it another try and then I vow to never go back. Really too bad. I wish TV would step in.

[PaPaLarry]

Is Mallory and Glenview the same owner????:shrug:

[nitehawk]

Havana is without a doubt (IMP) the worst place to eat in the villages. I cant find anything good to say about the place

[paulandjean]

OKay,then move on to another.

With all due respect, their function is to make money, so they can pay their staff and be there when you and your wife want to eat lunch and dinner and to offer you reasonably priced meals. Although you expected hospitality, some decisions have to be made by management about a bunch of guys coming in for cokes after golf. Maybe Manhattans after golf. The Manhattans would probably cause the seatholders to linger a LONG time and take up space from potential diners.

Some things sound unfriendly, when in fact they are only common sense. The fact that there was no place for you to sit, shows that many like to go there.

We love Cane Garden and it's servers always are very thoughtful, efficient, hardworking, courteous, and really perfect, so far.

[rhredd1654]

I hate to beat a dead horse, so to speak, but yesterday was Men's Day at Havana. Stopped by the bar for refreshments after the round, and not a seat to be had. One bartender, and she was in SLOW gear. My friend made a comment to her that they needed to get her some help, and she took it as an insult. She wondered where all the people were coming from. Well, DUH! It's Men's Day! Doesn't management look at the schedule? Also, they picked that day to reseal the parking lot. As much as I want to support Villages operations, they don't even try to be competitive. We play there again tomorrow, but after the round off to Beef O Bradys!

[enu826]

I agree, Dick,,, the management of Havana (who I know very well), just doesn't have the business sense to run an efficient restaurant. Yes, they paved the parking lot in such a way that there were no parking spaces available for the evening entertainment. Also, the other day, their a/c unit wasn't functioning very well, the excuses were the key to the room where the repairman had to gain entry, is held by The Villages (?) and therefore it couldn't be fixed. Well, I happen to know that they have many floor fans available that were used when we used to dance outside. When I asked where the owner was, he wasn't available??? Why doesn't someone make a management decision to break out the floor fans and place them around the room so that we could get some breeze????? This is good management... duh!?!? This isn't an isolated case, it just goes on and on and he doesn't have a clue. The Villages really needs to step in and get this corrected. Its so sad, because its such a lovely CC with great decor and view. Could be the perfect spot.

[skip0358]

Couldn't agree more. Goes in one ear and out the other!

[memason]

I know everyone like to come on TOTV and "vent" or lodge complains about Havana.

Certainly, no amount of complaining here (TOTV) is going to have any impact on effecting changes at Havana.

So, my questions is this:

To whom, do we address legitimate concerns/complaints/praise for any TV owned establishment?

If enough of us complain to the proper TV Department, with some valid examples of poor service, perhaps changes will be forthcoming...

The people who run Havana RENT from the developer. I don't think a landlord can tell someone how to run a business unless it breaks the law or the lease. The owners of Havana don't seem to care that they are getting criticisms on here. Someone pointed out that even if it isn't great, they probably are still making money.

I still don't get all the criticism of Havana. My golf group of 40 people went to Havana yesterday after our scramble. We were treated well, and our food was good and they have an "all day happy hour".

There are some you can never please, is my opinion.

[Villageshooter]

most of these folks are working for min wage,,, what do you expect,, or they are on salary and working 100 hours a week,,, i give em a break,,,, just like Mickey D's, I NEVER give those folks a hassle,,, talk about a demeaning job,, i am just happy i get a bun and some meat,,, lighten up,,, it is just a meal,,, ..just the thoughts of an AMERICAN

[graciegirl]

Gee I never thought working at McDonalds was a demeaning job, or being a server. The point of the thread I think is that Havana has at times had less than stellar reviews on food and service.

That would probably be the cause of the management.

[BobKat1]

I am an AMERICAN too:) and agree with Gracie that the thread is more about the management of Havana.

[KathieI]

Thank you - it IS about the management and quality level of the various chefs they have had over the years,,, not about the servers. Actually, I am personal friends with quite a few of the servers and bartenders and they are not the fault of the problems. They are very accommodating, efficient and extremely helpful. I'm sorry you misunderstood the crux of this discussion.

And I agree with your first sentence. I don't understand what adding one's nationality to the post does to enhance the discussion. That is why I asked if being an American (and I'm not sure if this meant North American, Central American, or South American) gave someone any more legitimacy in posting than someone who was not an "American."

[joycesmith2320]

I like Bonifay for lunch - also agree dinner is good at Cane Garden - Have eaten 3 times at Havana; not going back there - Mallory is OK- Having dinner tonight at Palmer so hope it's good -When all else fails there's always home cooking -

[bsliny]

Never had a problem with Havana The service has always been good
and so is the food

[gemorc]

Oh Havana! When will ever learn?

[asianthree]

i wonder if they lost good help because of summer

[logdog]

They haven't had good help in the 2 1/2 years that I've been here. It's not a seasonal issue. I heard that about a year ago, Mallory fired some of their people for stealing and Havana promptly hired them. I hope they improve because I like the location and facility, but not holding my breath.

[traveler9]

Bonifay is grat. Don't know who you were talking to but food is great11

[mac9]

As of last week, Havana has an entirely new menu with a new chef. Lots of the new items are Cuban based.

[Mudder]

Well now we all need to try it again. Fingers crossed.

[Bogie Shooter]

Poor Havana. Over 8,000 views and 70 posts.
Always wonder why the parking lot is so full?

[hedoman]

Went there last night and all is well

[Bobbyb]

I agree. However there was a big change and turnover in June. I had a better experience late June and they said they were going to change their menu. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm willing to give them another chance.

[rubicon]

I suggest you go to Bonifay and see for yourself. Remember everyone has different expectations when visiting a restaurant.

That's my standard response when it comes to the Restaurant forum...lower your expectations before you go in and you will never be disappointed:shrug:

That is true. I think the restaurants in the Country Clubs are fine for the price.

[Warren Kiefer]

Have tried Havana Country Club for breakfast and dinners on a few occasions. Always have had very slow service. The last time we waited for 45 minutes for breakfast to be served once our order was placed.
The food is always of poor quality and is usually served cold.
They have a bad reputation throughout The Villages. What doe's it take for the management there to wake up and get things right?

I just want to add a few comments. Recently on TTV there have been several comments about poor food and service at Palmer, and more every day about having a bad experience at Havana. The restaurants are only as good as the manager----- poor manager= bad food and bad service. The food at Orange Blossom is usually pretty good but the restaurant has the appearance of being extremely dirty.

[davecz1]

Hacienda Hills CC. Great food and a great band on Saturdays, Music Mixx.

[graciegirl]

...

[gsmchugh]

Our golf group tried Havanna for breakfast with disastrous results. We haven't been back. Husband and I have been there for dinner and the food was fabulous and served promptly. I would prefer to believe that is how Havanna is for dinner. Breakfast just isn't their thing. Bonifay has lousy coffee but an excellent breakfast buffet. That is our group place of choice for breakfast.

[skip0358]

I've beat Havana up before but I must say 5 of us ate there last night. We tried there new CUBAN menu and was very impressed with the food. They even made a custom order from one of their new specials. Not one complaint.Hope he's on the right track this time.

[katski]

Get a new management team...I agree very slow service and our last server served us with his sun glasses on!! Was that really MEATLOAF?????
