Default Cody's

I have lived here 13 years and have never been negative concerning a restaurant. Just left Cody's. Wife and I sat at the bar to have snacks. We each had three drinks to go with our snacks. She, three house wines @ 5.98 each, total $17.94. I had three Coor's light drafts $10.95 for a total of $28.89 plus tax's and tip. When we were leaveing I spoke to a manager. Stated that the prices were too high and that they have lost two customers. His response was go to Palm Beach County and see.

Side note: Wife and I dine out mostly every night !!!!

If you want cheap wine, go to Paris. 3 euros a glass for the house wine. These people have to make a buck. You're not eating dinner, sitting at the bar and not eating dinner. Did you pay for the snacks, or were they free? I'm sorry, I just don't see where you got ripped off. Three draftrs for $10.95? That's cheap! You've been in the bubble too long

Just in New York City, on Broadway $7.00 for wine. I'm sure you don't go out in The Villages often !!!!!

I don't get it. If you thought the prices were too high, why did you buy three a piece?

Huh. Wonder where, and under what circumstances? A special of some sort? I never had a glass of wine in Manhattan for less than ten bucks.

I don't think that's outrages but you can go across the street to TGIF for $3.00 wine. The thing that bothers me the most is the answer from the manager. I was in the restaurant business my whole adult life and that is not appropriate .... I guess asking how much something is and not taking it for granted is the way to go if you are looking for a bargain.

We were at codys last night and had some drinks and a bar burger. The bar burgers are now sliders, smaller but still a good taste for the price. I only drink at happy hour so the 28 bucks would of been 14.

I was there the other night and there were flyers all over the place about Happy Hour until close. I didn't pay that for my beers.

We've been to Cody's as well as other places in TV for dinner and I've never paid that much for drafts either.

Cool cheaper

AAh, how much more healthy it would have been to have a Club Soda and enjoy life to its fullest extent.

We find Cody's the best location for the following reasons:

Wait staff. Very good
Bartenders. Excellent
Food. Very good
Management. Adequate

Happy Hour is buy one get one. Pay for 3 wines get 6 !
