I have some dear friends that have been so helpful to me as an absentee homeowner in the Villages. I would like to get a gift card to a good restaurant in the area, but don’t know anything about any of them. They like most kinds of cuisine.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!

Chophouse is highly thought of

Bluefin and the Chop House are both nice places. If you think they'd like Japanese food I hear Sakura and VKI are pretty good.

VKI (Japanese Steak House) and Chop House both in LSL are very good. Blue Fin in Brownwood is another good one.
Just outside TV on 441/27 heading north Francesco's Italian is a nice eatery

In TV ChopHouse and BlueFin. Leesburg Turners. Ocala Mesa de Notte and Mark's Prime.

I agree with Mark's Prime, it's an outstanding venue. Also in Ocala is 'Braised Onion'.

Couldn't agree more with those choices

Hahaha, decent seafood but the atmosphere is 1950s filling station chic.

Best fish around, cold beer, great service. All for a good price. Better than the crap at country club restaurants.

Everyone has a different price point. I eat at those restaurants frequently and enjoy the food and service. I do not think they are over priced. IMO they are the best restaurants in the area. I forgot to include Wolfgang Puck which has great food.
