The server worked there for 9 years and can't read the correct amount???? Even so the head management should honor the complaint; not slam the Customer.

I must be weird. Every time I read a complaint about a particular restaurant in The Villages at which I have eaten recently, I find my experience to be the exact opposite. The last few times my wife and I grabbed lunch at The Lighthouse, service was very good, the food quite good and the prices (which admittedly for were the luncheon specials we had) to be extremely reasonable. Maybe my standards just aren't up to snuff or maybe I go in just so happy to be living the good life here that it brings me good karma.

Gosh, thinking of The Lighthouse makes me want to get some of that fried fish they have with the crushed corn flake coating... Yummy!

The Lighthouse has changed, the new menu is a shadow of its former self--used to go there, for the stacked lobster app, and other fresh fish and oysters-went there a couple of months ago we had one cocktail looked @ the menu, left and went to the Bonefish

Guess the OP should be glad the total was only "XX". ----If it had totaled "XXX" there would be real trouble here.

That is confusing and troubling to me. I know that woman, not well, but have had a nice chat with her several times over the years. She seemed to me to be quite used to people of every sort. I think I am missing something here.

You were overcharged and incorrectly billed for a tip. Was that more than one dollar? Not that I think it would be right no matter what the amount. I wonder if she offered to pay you back at any time?

The .XX scenario does not make sense to me and percentages can be misleading.

If the bill was $200 and the tip $40 then having the tip inflated by about $15 is something to maybe take issue with. If the bill is $50 and the tip $10 then its only about a $4 overcharge.
If you dont want the credit card company to fix this then chalk up the $4 overcharge to a learning fee and dont patronize that restaurant again.

The landlord for the property on which The Lighthouse sits is the Developer. My understanding is that the Developer initially ran this restaurant successfully(correct me if I'm wrong). This location is a primo site at the heart of the major town square in TV. To have an establishment not deliver top quality food and service here creates a negative opinion of TV as a whole. First impressions matter. The Lighthouse should be more of a destination casual dining experience than it is today. Perhaps the Developer should help the current owners out of their financial pain by ending the lease and bringing in someone that can make this place sing.

With all the XX's I was thinking they were talking the "Cafe Risque".

[Chatbrat]

Aloha--right on--restaurants in the square should all be well above average--they help move real estate

I’m a former restaurant owner/operator and a former customer of the lighthouse, 2010-2016 I found the place Very inconsistent, the waitstaff mediocre at best. They advertise New England chowder, any restaurants, If they served that no one will plan chowder to anyone in New England they would be out of business. I stoped wasting my time going there two years ago, because I was nothing but disappointed every time I’ve went. If you Yeah for real authentic seafood goes to Leans Seafood in silver springs. On highway 40

gone.

I'm sorry. I'm not an English teacher either.
