Bonny, we have to talk.
It's one thing to say, "I like Cane Garden," or something along those lines, but to tell everybody about the secrets at the different restaurants... Well that's another story. Shhhh! The lines will be out the door if everybody discovers the best-kept-secrets.

I only tell very close friends about the 1/2 price entrees at Hacienda Hills, or the all-you-can-eat wings at Mallory, or the Key Lime Shrimp at TGIFriday's, or the $5 lunches at Glenview, or the Friday & Saturday $1 margaritas at Sonny's... oops! Nevermind.

Yes, you are right. Let's not tell anyone. Also keep this between you & I, the buy one get one fajitas at Codys on Wednesdays or their $1.99 bar burger. LOL

I visit The Villages Gourmet site often and have found their reviews helpful. However, they lost some credibility with me when they rated CiCi Pizza in Colony Plaza as a 12 out of 15. I know it was based on only one review, but really... a 12? For cardboard with sauce...

Damn!!! And I had a coupon for two buffets and beverage for $9.99. Guess I wil stick with Pauleys.

Country Clubs I like:

Nancy Lopez for our anniversary - expensive but good food.

Glenview, Hacienda Hills and Arnold Palmer for lunches as we do not eat dinner out (except for our anniversary - see above)

Exception - Orange Blossom - good lunches but a long travel from Marion county.

I saw the rating for CiCi's and had the same reaction. I don't believe I have ever had worse pizza than what they serve there.

It's all what people are used to.

Some folks here think good Italian food comes out of a can...

Lopez is the best and Palmer is second best.

Both have good food and service but I think Lopez has better food, especially the Harris Ranch steaks and the service is consistanly good if not outstanding.

Other clubs I have tried are hit or miss, sometimes good, sometimes not.
Even Havana has good food and service occasionally!

Note that Hacienda Hills country club has a 9 rating and Havana has a 11 1/2. Wrong on both clubs in my humble opinion. Problem is, these restaurants can change over night. TOTV is the place to keep up with the changes both good and bad about almost anything.

I think Cane Garden has excellent meatloaf. Despite lots of criticism of Glenview, I like eating lunch there. Great views.
