Where is a restaurant, outside of TV, that serves great steaks?
 
I admit. I am a food snob. I have tried every restaurant in TV, at least two or more times, but have not been excited by any of them. I love a good filet mignon. The restaurant doesn't have to have a famous name like Barclay's of Philadelphia, or Flemings, the over-priced chain, where the filet alone is $53 and a baked potato is $10.

I have had great filets at Stonewood Grill and the best filet at Austin's Cattle Company in Valdosta, GA. No, we did not drive there for the filet. We stopped on our way north and had wonderful filets every time.

So, are there any excellent restaurants, that serve great filets in the surrounding area from Ocala to Mt. Dora?

If you make the trip to Tampa try Bern's Steak House.

There is a Gourmet Club in TV. On their homepage (thevillagesgourmetclub.com) you can find restaurant reviews, both for restaurants in TV and outside TV (see section 2 "Restaurants near The Villages"). There are 349 restaurants listed. :icon_hungry:

Went there for first time last week. Food good and would go back but not what one would call a high end steakhouse.

Not into high end but I love places like Texas Roadhouse and the prime rib.
