A Florida fish restaurant without Florida fish. Disappointing.

Bluefin with a different name. Not a bad thing

I think they will do fine. The prices are fine for the quality of food. FMK has a huge following. There are a lot of people looking for quality dining not SYSCO out of the bag food.

Thanks, though I’d rather eat a hot pastrami sandwich and onion rings than seafood.

No thanks ...... I'm willing to pay $15.00 for good fish & chips (like Chelo's in R.I.), but I think that the new restaurant is a bit expensive for a retirement village.

Thanks!
The food looks great, but as others have said -- it is expensive.

Menu looks great, but the PRICES seem kind of high. Inflation is kicking butt.

The prices are same as any non-chain restaurant that has a chef and uses fresh ingredients. What do people think freshly prepared entree's should cost?

Looks good to me. We will eat there occasionally even though we live just north of 44.

Always the same when someone posts a new menu , the same people are all over it with the prices are so high , well then don’t go there . I was at Harvest last night ,the place was filled as was Blue Fin so obviously some people like to dine a little better.I don’t understand complaining about prices in places you aren’t going to visit . On another front , I had forgotten it was Halloween night at Brownwood , after we left Harvest it was great fun to walk around and listen to the music ,check out the stands , play some ski ball and best of all the people watching including all the young children that looked adorable, did we have to circle around in parking lot before we found a place in the back of parking lot , yes we did ,but at 83 I was able to make it without a walker , Fyi the mantra there’s no parking is usually made by people who the last time they exercised was high school gym class , I am not talking about disabled GO Patriots

There's no way they use fresh cold-water lobster. If they don't come already boiled and packaged frozen in vacuum-sealed bags, and they don't have an aquarium where you can pick your own live lobster, then their "cold water" lobsters are not going to be edible.

I have had their lobster at Harvest and it is delicious. You have made it clear that you will not dine there. No reason for your negative comments.

No argument. Just saying it's a bit over priced for some folks that are on a static income that's being chiseled down by inflation. I do not fault any business for how much they desire to charge. That's what you get with freedom and free enterprise. And that is a good thing. Everyone looks for a good deal, whether on meals or services.

I’m sure the food will be prepared very well like the other FMK run restaurants in the Villages, but the menu selection is very generic and certainly nothing special.
Include Stone Crabs when in season.

If we want GOOD food, it will cost more. For you to go on here and infer that the prices are outrageous is unfair. Just go to places that you can afford and give a new business a chance to prove themselves.
