So Typical of a posting on TOTV. Totally trash a new restaurant for a variety of reasons. Say this and that for your own personal vendetta. How about let them be open for a while and see how they do? Unique concept. The hounding about the pre opening inspection is ridiculous. You think they are too expensive then don't got there. Simple. Come on people. Ok, too much to ask.

With respect,that link is to a TALLAHASSEE paper. Looks like they simply repeated a story to fill space. And it doesn't speak at all to the actual circumstance.

Went in yesterday with another guy after playing a round of golf. Didn't get there until after 4. We were just going to go to the bar and have a beer but by then it was completely full. I did look around a bit. This place is absolutely beautiful ! I saw a flyer on the doors saying they will start opening for lunch next week.

We had an absolutely lovely experience at Lopez Legacy last night. No major complaints at all, and in fact, the food, the service, and the atmosphere we’re all top-notch. We had a 7 pm reservation and were seated immediately. Our waiter was Soren who was extremely professional and very accommodating. The decor is beautiful. There were three of us and yes, it was expensive, but worth it for those of you who are “foodies“. My husband and I shared a delicious buratta salad with balsamic glaze and cherry tomatoes, and our friend had grilled octopus with Kalamata aioli, which was charred, perfectly seasoned and tender. Our friend went on to have a beautifully flavored, very tender lamb shank over truffle potato purée, and my husband and I shared the rainbow trout with almond cream sauce, sliced almonds, and bacon, and the pear and ricotta stuffed Sacchetti with a short rib sauce. My favorite was the sachetti but everything was delicious.
Only minor quibbles were that they were out of several entrees and also our first wine choice.
The upscale food preparations and high prices are not for everyone, but for us, it’s a welcome addition to the Villages for those looking for a special evening.

Very very pricey....! The Filet is $42.00 and on fixed income way too high. Looks like this place was renovated only for folks that are "high" spenders. Not going to make it in !!!

Wow, I understand that The Villages is comprised of many on a fixed income. But many are not. I own in The Villages and come down 5 - 6 times per year and Lopez and Palmer's are definitely our favorite restaurants with prices far below where we live the rest of the year.
Plus I am envious of all the really expensive homes down here (V of Bridgeport, etc.) and would assume they have the $$.

Just read a review that they sat down at 6:45 p.m. and the food didn't show up until 9 p.m. Dinner for two was $100.
OMG!

Skip!

We have had dinner there twice and did not have any long delays for food. A number of our friends have gone and loved the food and said service was fine. $100 a couple is ballpark depending on the number of courses and alcohol.Looking forward to going back.

Our favorite off the new menu is the mushroom brie soup. It comes in a really large bowl, really large.... could easily pair that with a salad and have a very substantial meal... reasonable priced as well.
