Cane Garden
 

I'm frustrated with Cane Garden. They keep a small stock of bottles of Diet Tonic Water to serve from the bar. When I requested this on multiple occasions the message was it is only on hand for mixed drinks. To me, this makes no sense. When a product is on hand, and is requested, then serve it. I've needed to request a manager to get the Diet Tonic Water on several occasions. Last night the "general manager" provided the requested beverage after telling me there would be an uncharge past what I would pay for soda. Does this make sense to anyone out there?

:)Yes. You can not get bottle soda for fountain soda prices..... hence the up charge.

:confused: You know their rules and "on multiple occasions" try to get around them..... why? Their Bar - their rules.chilout

The name of the place is "Cane Garden" not "The Boston Garden":wave:

This is why we will never have any better restaurants in TV, you pay for what you get and if you want something special, PAY--mywife wanted a real Reuben made from their real cried beef , they said she had to pay the corned beef dinner $, one of the best Reubens in a long time

On another note on Cane Garden
I ate there last Sunday and the food was disgusting. In addition the waitress had an attitude. Won’t hurry back. This is the first time I had that experience in the Villages with any restaurant. It’s typically always friendly every where you go. Went to Havana CC on Thursday and everything was fantastic. The waitress could not have been nicer!

Cane Garden has the best pizza of all the CCs. Way better than Havana.

Until the minorities become the majority the restaurants will serve what keeps the revenue stream. I assume, the majority still likes Cane and the minority will need to find another place to go that meets their needs.

Why not
 

If the OP is a “regular” I would give him some slack.... why not?

Servers do not make a restaurant-they come & go like the wind in TV, the only thing that should be consistent in any restaurant should be the food & beverages

Went there about two weeks ago...place smelled like a bad dishrag,decor was old amd tired, but the food was good.

But im dome with the country clubs here...overpriced, mediocre food...just go out of the villages for better food.

Everybody has a bad day now and then.

No way...Mallory has the best pizza!:eclipsee_gold_cup:

Diet Tonic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

Mallory pizza better than the Cane--you've gotta be kidding--great if you like soggy, "moshad" pies

I agree about this: “place smelled like a bad dishrag, decor was old and tired...”.

And I’d add that overall, the place is so poorly lit and with worn out decor that a report of good food does not make it an attractive choice amongst the many restaurants in TV who actually compete for our business.

As for the country clubs here, I think too many are run by the same leasing group.

Nothing good comes from, nor stays for long, with a monopoly whose attitude emits the unspoken message, “Take it or leave it.”

My opinion - the establishment gets to sell what they want, when they want. No you can't have the lunch special, we stopped serving that at 3:00.

Look at it this way. The kitchen has cooking sherry. It's not for sale individually, it is for mixing in food. Same for the diet tonic, it is for mixing in drinks.
