We ate ate at Bonefish the other night and it was not great. Havana, Palmer, Turners and Rose Plantation were much better. I am more into good food than liquor.

Didn't even give them a chance to pour-if they are amateurs @ making a Martini- the can't be trusted to make an entree

The trouble with the Rose for us- is the table for two is too small (confining) and the noise level -also going into downtown Leesburg is not in our comfort zone

Stop
Please stop trashing restaurants because of drink pours. I believe the majority of people are looking for good food. You did not eat there and trashing the restaurant is inexcusable!

How does one have anything to do with the other? I doubt the bartender, after pouring your drink runs into the kitchen to cook your meal.. lol

It s the whole professionalism of the restaurant-- if the bar persons are drones-- the cook staff will be the same--looked @ some of the entrees on the bar as we were waiting & was not impressed

A 2 oz pour for any Martini is a rip off. should be a Minimum of 3 - 3 1/2 and in good establishments, 4 oz. A standard Martini glass should be almost full, not halfway full. Very disappointing if this is what Blue Fin is doing. A 1.75 liter bottle of Grey Goose runs $44-$48 retail, less on wholesale to licensed establishments. At 60 oz per bottle and 4 oz per Martini at a sale price of $8, that's $120/bottle gross revenue. Assume $35 wholesale cost, that's an $85 gross profit per bottle or a 242% of cost. It's what you get at Bonefish for $10. Being cheap at the bar can kill anything else a restaurant does well and is never worth it.

So here is my review for what it is worth. My husband and I have been fortunate enough to have fine dinning experiences all over the world. My husband belongs to a men’s International cooking club. We know good food Btw, hubby drinks Grey Goose. I am not saying these things to brag but to say we know a thing or two about gourmet dinning, fine wine and liquors. We are not foodie snobs. We love Mac and cheese too. We sat at the bar because there was a wait. My husband was quite pleased with his GreyGoose Martini and I complimented the bartender on the best Appletini I have ever had. When we were seated our server was excellent but no, she was not Fine dinning experienced. The ambience was nice. The white table clothes and napkins were very nice. The China and utensils were a little boring. We shared a wedge salad with blue cheese dressing. It was nice. Sorry, I,don’t remember our wine choice. The menu was not as extensive with seafood choices as I would like but it was interesting and adequate. Our food was well presented and quite tasty. My only disappointment was having to keep the same knife and fork throughout my meal. So is Blue Fin a nice addition to Tne Villages? Yes! Is it fine dinning? No. Is it a place that we enjoyed and will return? Yes

I was thinking the same thing...I don't drink and would like to know about the food. Another thing I don't do is base my reviews on cost.
