Unhappy Fridays

We ate at the Sumter Landing Fridays three times in the last month. The service and food was disappointing with each visit. Food orders were incorrect all 3 times, food was cold all three times (when it should have been hot) and service was very slow all three times. We won't be back, there are too many other local restaurents who have got it right.

We ate there very recently on three different occasions and had no problems. Go figure.

We went there on our last visit to TV late at night. They had karaoke that night and the service and food was great. They also have the best draft beer selection I have found in TV. Certainly not a great selection but still better than other places we tried.

Default about the draft beer selection

any Microbrews? And if so, and you remember, what were they? This is a big deal to Ohioboy, one of the things he will sorely miss when we are snowbirds. Yuengling doesn't quite do it.

We've been there several times and never had a problem.

Why we do not have a micro-brewery in TV is a mystery to me.

This is a shame because there are many of us who enjoy a good pint, but because of the failure of our old brewery, due to bad management, we are stuck without one good draught in town.

This was one of the items I listed on the recent survey that went out. Would like a decent micro-brewery, and a good sports bar similar to the Ocala Ale House.

Beef O'Brady's........OH PL e a s e...... Went there last football season, and they still had the weather channel on 3 of the TV's after kickoff. Customers were screaming, and it took about 15 minutes to pull in the games. (Colony)

If you haven't been to the Ocala Ale House, let me just state, I quit counting at 40 screens.

Sorry, I don't remember but I do remember they had about 15 beers on tap. Of course, many of those were the large breweries but I know they had Sam adam's and Guiness and some others that you don't find elsewhere in TV. This is actually a big deal to me as well as I usually go to a place here in Raleigh with 81 different drafts.

Default We need

A micro brewery which makes hand crafted, preservative free, fresh beer which does not exist in TV.

The closest source is the Orlando Brewery which is especially good because the beer is organic.

Samuel Adams "Cream Stout" is the closest to micro taste but it is available
in bottles only. Next best is Guiness on draught, but only if it is fresh and the bar knows how to properly tap the kegs and clean the lines.
