Katie Belle's Dinner
 

My husband and I ate dinner last night at Katie Belle's and it was terrific! The restaurant is beautiful decorated well and very nice comfortable furniture. The menu has been completely revamped and upgraded along with a new very good wine list. Entree's come with Caesar salad or salad bar, a side dish and warm crusty bread with herbed olive oil for dipping. Appetizers included clams casino, jumbo shrimp cocktail, seared ahi tuna, spinach artichoke dip and more, We split the ahi tuna and it was excellent. There are a lot of entrees. Several fish which can be prepared baked, broiled or blackened and accompanied with choice of several sauces, chicken, veal,
rack of lamb, lollypop pork chop, crab cakes, pasta dishes. We both had very well prepared fish. Side dishes were very good. Service was excellent and we will return often. A 100% positive experience. Don't listen to the bashers who have never been there. Go and enjoy!

Great review.

Of course, I'm sure we'll see some of "the usual suspects" posting how the "new" Katie Belle's was the worst dining experience of their lives, etc, etc, etc......:1rotfl:

Glad to hear you loved the new Katie Belles
 

Glad to hear you liked the new KB. I can't wait until we get back down to TV to see and experience it for ourselves. The Owners did not invest all that money to see it flop so hopefully there will be more people than not who like the change.

Fantastic!! Thanks for the review!! :BigApplause:

That's awesome. Glad to hear. The Villages does everything top notch. Can't wait to give it a try.

Katie Belle’s has issued the following list of the most frequently asked questions about the newly remodeled venue in Spanish Springs Town Square:

• Has the menu changed – yes – totally.

• Hours of Operation – Sunday closed (except for special occasions), Monday and Tuesday hours vary depending on our special events, Wednesday and Thursday 3:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday 3:30 p.m. to 11 p.m.

• Happy Hour – Wednesday thru Saturday 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. – all alcoholic beverages are half price (happy hour not available on bottles of wine and during special events).

• What is going into downstairs – retail tenants – we do not know who.

• Do you have to make reservations for dinner – at this time, we will not take reservations for dinner – at some point, Village residents will be able to make reservations for a dinner table.

• Is there a time limit on dinner tables – in order to satisfy as many guests as possible, we plan on tables being occupied for a maximum of two hours for dinner.

• Is Katie Belle’s doing Sunday brunch – no

• Will the entertainment be the same – the entertainment will be very similar – due to the size of our restaurant, entertainment will be for seated guests only. We will not be able to have standing guests during the shows.

• Why can’t we stay all night – we have created two distinct areas in our restaurant. One is for dining and the other is for shows – as any restaurant that serves dinner, we have to turn tables, so, in our dining area, we need the tables available for the next set of dining guests (no cover charge in our dining area) – in our show area, we will charge a small cover charge to pay for the production of the show. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, there is only one show for the night. Your cover charge will enable you to stay for the entire show, if you desire – on Friday and Saturday nights, there are two shows. You can purchase tickets for both shows and stay all night. On top of the cover charge, there will be a minimum purchase per show.

We will be going for sure!!

A review from someone who was there!!! Sounds great!

I will looking forward to seeing a show and or have a dinner.

We did the pass through last week and haven't had a chance to try the food yet. Our opinion (shared my many we have talked with) on New vs Old Katie Belle's is > while its not bad it clearly doesn't have the class or atmosphere of the old Katie Belles which was unique and a real attraction that most residents were proud to take their quests and show off the "resident only" restaurant and entertainment center. Dancers have now lost the afternoon music many enjoyed and even most nights since they are now "shows". So from a dancers point of view and those who enjoyed a unique experience I think its lost that pazaz - but for those who expected better dinning it sounds like it will be a step in the right direction. To be honest we liked the food and drinks at Katie Belles, very reasonable and entertainment that was great. Cattle Barron's food was a step up and enjoyable with prices that were still reasonable. You couldn't beat the atmosphere downstairs or upstairs.

I would have expected the new KB's is first class. As most new restaurants, have plenty of help, first class food, etc. The Snowbirds will love it, best in the county today… bet KB's will fail in a year as the CattleBaron Club did..

Why would you expect this new restaurant not to well? Similar to Lopez, Palmer and Hemingway's that are doing fine. Actually I think Katie Belles was better. The Sharon across the street will bring in ait of peiple.

Two posters say what I suspected.


Out with the old and in with the new. I am sure that there will be romance at the new one too.

Right on. The change was made just to make more money.

Is this just a guess or based on a visit?
