I’ve always loved CC. Recommended it to newbies without hesitation. Was there about a month ago. To say that things were dismal was putting it politely. Straw wrappers under every table. Dropped food under several. Waitress had too many tables to serve anyone in a timely manner. Food was mediocre, at best. Quite honestly, my daughter could have fixed a better meal and she isn’t the best cook in town. I will give it one more chance but my expectations aren’t too high at this point.

We eat at Cane frequently. The food was pretty good as usual, but the service the last couple of visits was not good! There are too many other good options to put up with that.

Default Cane Garden down hill

Went there for breakfast and was very disappointed. The food had an off taste. Like the cooking oil was bad. We told the waitress and she relayed our complaint to her manager who never came forward to speak to us. The potatoes were cold, the omelette was not three eggs. My wife left most of her food on the plate and we were never compensated for thr bad food. The manager told the waitress that there is nothing wrong with our food even though it was served cold. Not going back for breakfast. Also had poor quality steak on their Tuesday night special.

Default cane garden

we were frequent flyers @ the Cane, for a quick cocktail & light meal @ the bar

Lately it appears most of their food has become boil in the bag or microwave preprepared items from Sysco or similar vendors

we stopped eating their prime rib-because our mouth would become so dried out from msg--we had to consume a lot of water @ 3AM

They have lost a lot of quality & creativity

Here is something that I would like to see. More definition to "bad service". When I eat at a CC, it is almost always after golf with my group of 8-10. We are engaged in world problem solving and really don't pay attention (or care) about the speed of service. This is very different from someone who is ready to eat now and waiting for their food to arrive.

We had not been there for awhile due to a change in the service and food! We use to have a great time going to the bar for a drink and food. The bar staff changed and there was no personality or enjoyment from the bar staff. We went back this past Friday night for dinner and after golf this past Sunday! Food and service was good! Staff changes and things happen. Glad to see some staff that seemed to enjoy their job!

I am very surprised you had flat beer. They are always changing the kegs as they ago through so much beer. Finding cold beer in TV is hard because so many of their lines to the beer cooler are too long. If the food is not right, send it back. I have not found any difference in the food. You must have hit a bad day. The manager was the assistant for years so that should't be a problem.

Hope this is an old post. Was not happy with food at Can Garden a year or two back, but found it has improved. Hopewith new management it will remain our favorite go to place.

Cane garden has always been a hit or miss for me. In 10 years here in the Villages it isn’t a place I go anymore because of that

I never had a bad meal at Cane Garden. Can't say the same about Palmer Legends where I've had unbelievably disastrous fare on numerous occasions. Stopped going there but may try again with the new chef.
