Bang for the $$
 
Earlier this week we went to Havana, just got back from Chefs of Napoli lll-- well we spent $108. @ Havana, @ Chefs,$120.00

The food @ chef's blew away Havana as far as taste , quantity and presentation-- two martini's + a glass ea of pinot grigio,ea

we were give two loaf's of their great bread to go

The prices above were before tip--IMHO, Havana is a rip-off compared to Chef's

We find Havana much better than Chefs. I had the most awful veal dish at Chefs last month and we will never go back. Havana we always have good food.

Havana, like most CCs, can run hot and cold

Try Sammy,s across from chefs...pretty good EyeTalian food.

Sammy's is much better than Chefs.

Thank you GPSMA, I looked at Sammy's menu and it does look inviting. The Chicken Francese sounds good with butter and lemon and white wine.

But can you get to Chef's or Sammy's in a golf cart? If not, we will take Havana.

Chatbrat 07-21-2018 11:16 PM

Can you get to cemetery via golf cart

rjn5656 07-22-2018 05:10 AM

I like both Chef's and Sammy's. Havanna hit or miss. Nice to get outside the Bubble for dinner.

I would be delighted if we could have something exactly like Sammy's menu offered at Evans Prairie or Orange Blossom Hills.

Hey, it's another typical restaurant thread:
A is better than B
B is better than A
Try C
Etcetera

Sammy's is just beer & wine-without liquor--its a non starter for us

Topspinmo 07-22-2018 09:05 AM

A mazing how restaurant is rated low without liquor! Where my crutch to get through day?

Smart man and an excellent tennis player, I've been told.

dewilson58 07-22-2018 11:02 AM

Spent $109 at Havana.

Seven gin martini's, two bottles of wine.

Can't remember the meal.

Give it a try...haven’t ate at chefs yet but Sammy’s is very decent

I've had several very good meals at Chef's of Napoli. I love their pescatore.

Best sausage, peppers and onions pizza anywhere. IMHO

They also make good sandwiches. The usually serve pizza by the slice for the lunch crowd.

I agree their bread is the best I've had in any restaurant near TV.

Two good recommendations. Thank you 2B. I will look forward to trying both of them. Do either do takeout? We love to eat at home.

For tonight at Chez Gantner, the menu includes meatloaf, cheese grits, Asian chopped salad and bread pudding.

So I'm estimating that you spent approximately $40 on drinks. How did you spend the $80 on food at Chefs. We also love it there.

Chatbrat 07-22-2018 04:28 PM

Calamari to start, salmon special dish with lobster ravioli topped with shrimp, Admiral had a veal rollitini, another special--two martini's ea & a glass of Pinot Grigio ea--

Yes, Chefs does take-out.

Chatbrat 07-22-2018 04:42 PM

Buy one of their big anti-pastas, a loaf of their--hollow out the bread fill it with the anti pasta bread & you'll have the best "hero" in TV
