Smile List of Lists - Top 10 Village Restaurants

VILLAGE RESTAURANTS. Always like to play around with Top 10 Lists. Thought I'd give this a try with TV restaurants. Top 1. Bonefish 2. Thai Ruby 3. Urban Flats 4. R.j. Gators 5. Lighthouse 6. Urban Curray 7. Panera Bread 8. Johnny Rockets 9. Too jay 10. Bamboo Bistro. You may have your preferred sequence. Would be interesting to find out what the top 10 would be for country club restaurants. Guess can't have Top 10 until Bonifay opens.

Definitely Bonefish Grill for #1. My pick for #2 would be Giovanni's. My favourite restaurant in previous years was "Up The Creek" but it closed, so I guess I was in a minority.

It is always interesting when we return from our six-month sabbatical, to see what restaurants have closed and what new ones have opened.

I thought Johnny Rockets would be in the bottom 10 for restaurants in The Villages?

I haven't heard of Urban Curray .. is it new?

Johnny Rockets would be in my bottom ten, but it's great (I think) for visiting grandkids?

Wink Top 10 Restaurants

Thank you for trying to come up with your lists. How difficult to come up with 10 best in TV. I love everything about TV except I'll miss all the good restaurants of the north. I hope all the foodies of TV will do the best they can so selection of Best 10 will become easier. Urban Curray is near Showcase Direct and rather new. I had to put Johnny Rockets because I couldn't think of any other restaurant and I like there slider?(it's 3 combo miniature bun of burger, hot dog, and chili dog).

Default From Italian Restaurant to TV Restaurant?

Jackz. Noticed that you are currently living in Italy and moving to TV in 2012. I think your stomach will revolt. Any dish in Italy is so.... Good that my mouth will water just thinking about it. I still remember a simple pasta with sea urchin in the Isle of Elba. What a delight with a glass of Vermentino. Then, if i can get a cup of gelato on the way back to the harbor, that will be heaven. Hope by the time you come, we can get a good Italian restaurant.

Don't need a top 10. We go to Oakwood 7 days a week!

OK, not quite, but in no particular order:

Oakwood, Bonefish, Cane, Mallory, mexican place in SS, the other mexican place on the Hitoric side, Too Jays, Urban Flats (going to miss them), Kate's husband's pizza and Peachwave (ok that's for dessert).
