Have to say we did. There were a couple hostesses at Cane over the years who seemed completely uninterested in the customers and were only interested in talking with each other. If you approached them with a question, they were not happy to be interrupted!

That’s when you want to sell. Not here to argue or put TV or a business down just wondering why they’re selling. There is a reason!

I believe there have been instances where a business may have been profitable, their lease came to an end, and they did not think they would be profitable at the new lease level, so they closed. This certainly happens in the "real world" quite a bit

In The Villages good news travels fast. But for those not being careful, bad news travels even faster.

To be fair, it is a real challenge to run a restaurant here and make a profit and still meet the prices most Villagers expect. Restaurants must rely on pre-prepared if not entire entrees than at least pre made components. AND they cannot afford to pay food preparers with education or much experience in cuisine.

Going out almost anywhere, including most of the villages, is not anything I like to do anymore. Most of the restaurants and bars are filthy and the food is all pre-made and just microwaved. Double yuck!!! Maybe after this covid stuff is done the restaurants will come back better. Kinda doubt it though.

Try Lopez or Palmer. Very impressed with both and these are NOT pre-made meals.

In general we are not overly impressed with our dinning selections, but Chop House and Blue Fin are exceptions. Both are well within our definition of good quality. Sometimes Bonefish also meets our standards of very good golf cart accessible eats.
