Would love another seafood restaurant to eat healthier in Brownwood. Legal Seafood with a retail counter full of cold water fish choices.

Most restaurant food is bought pre-prepared these days from large suppliers. I am guessing that pasta is dropped at the end but the sauces come in packets or frozen. Most people who live in The Villages are seeking fairly yummy food at a fairly low price. Most people are trained to prepare food in tech high school or have no formal training and are not paid much here, because of the thin margins. Given all that, timing is one of the most important factors in good cooking. WHEN to drop the pasta, WHEN to drain it, WHEN to turn the seared meat, WHEN to remove it, WHEN to serve all the tables orders HOT. Seems simple but it isn't and it requires a heads up attitude and quite some skill. Working in a kitchen may not be perceived by some to be a job that has prestige, maybe some folks working in the kitchen aren't real big on not getting hung over or in arriving at work after a holiday or their birthday and maybe I am a cold hearted judgmental old person. Money and the cost of things is probably in there somewhere...........hugely.

Anyone have a meal at Enrico Ristorante in Inverness? I'm told it is a five star Italian restaurant. Inverness isn't really that far away for a good meal

Don't think many Villagers very often would be happy to pay as much as a place like this charges. I ate at one of these last night, had the cauliflower side dish with the Steelhead main course. Fabulous and healthy! True Food Kitchen | Menu My favorite steak place. Yum! 2441 East Coast Highway | Corona del Mar, CA | (949) 673-6585

We had some guest visiting during the last Brownwood Strawberry Festival. We went into this restaurant to have some adult beverages. They would not seat us because we did not plan on ordering food. The place was nearly empty! We went to the outside bar and was told they only served beer and wine outside. We left never to return.

Only been a few times, but never had good service. This actually happened: My wife and I were the only two people at the bar one Saturday afternoon. I had stepped away for a few minutes so my wife was alone. We had moved a few seats to see the TV better. While I was away the OWNER brought out our food and gave my wife grief for moving seats because the food was to be delivered to the original seats. Really?....... One person at the bar!.............. I feel for the employees but the owner, what a loser.

This dining establishment deserved to go out of business. The owner could not figure out how to run a restaurant. The managers and servers were unresponsive to complaints. The quality of the food was sometimes okay, and otherwise not. We need restaurateurs in The Villages, They are trying at the Rose Plantation which is working out just fine based on our last visit. Let's hope the apparent success of this place does not ruin it.

You should do some reading

Your wife,"gourmet cook." It is far different to cook a great meal compared to hundreds day after day. Partly teasing BUT, read these posts. You have your family wealth tied up in your place and someone wonders who the hell cooked this crap. GOOD LUCK TO YOU- |

It takes a "gift" for dealing with people and organizing, scheduling and managing talent to run a restaurant. Those who have it do very well. Those who do not go broke. Then restaurants are popular and "in" for a while and all of a sudden "out". It is a tough business.

I don't ever seen any good restaurant coming here. As you read through most threads, it always comes down to price, or who has a early bird special. Any good restaurant that would want to open here would just read most of these posts and say "why would I want to put up with complaints and wanting stuff for free"
Who here would be even willing to pay for a meal if it was 50 bucks a person? If they hired a great Chef, and hired the best workers they could find who gave a crap, those people need paid. |
