But I do see your points! By now you should probably have figured out that I simply don't agree with "your points"! Hopefully now you and your several supporters understand that I disagree with "your points"! Got it?

Term New to Me
 

A new term for me so I googled it. Came up kvetching:
- - - -
kvetching - definition of kvetching by the Free Online ...

I guess it is our American Way to kvetch, even in Florida's Friendliest Hometown!! Can't wait to move down and kvetch!!

I agree with "first come first serve".

Don't know the rule at TV about separate checks, but when I've been North of the Mason-Dixon line, I've found the restaurants wouldn't divide the check up when you have 4 or 6 people in your party. We end up with "green visors and stubby pencils" trying to figure each person's share! For some reason the guy who got chopped steak didn't want to share the cost of my lobster by doing a "cost averaging". :D

Russ,

Not only is he rude, he disagrees with you! Golly gosh! And here I thought he was just.... oh never mind... Not worth being snarky over...

:rant-rave: :popcorn: :boom:

Haha Bonny,


I probably needed this one....chilout

My comments are neither impertinent, or irreverent in tone or manner, in case you didn't know what snarky means. Time to recognize superior intellect! If Russ in Boston was here in TV his comments might be more relevant.

I believe you overlooked the "sarcastic" portion of the 'snarky' definition.

Not sure I understand the 'superior intellect' comment. Any other info appreciated.

Thanks -
Bill :)

Inquiring minds would like to know! :read:

:boxing2::popcorn::boxing2:

Yes you are right. Since I don't live perm in TV I have no idea about fair play or anything about golf etiquette or slow play or....Only full time residents can have a proper view. How dare I:)

I though it was obvious that "recognizing superior intellect" was directed at me . . . :1rotfl:

oh, I almost forgot..... :popcorn:

Well now Mhoerauf,
I think that you think you understand Russ's point. However, judging from this comment...

It appears that you do not. He simply neither said nor implied anything of the sort.

His point-- I tried to make the same point earlier-- actually has nothing to do with how anyone is treated in the summer. Instead, the point is that people who are already at the restaurant (in snowbird season) should not have to wait for a table for 20 minutes while you (or anyone) holds a vacant table for golfers who are not yet in the restaurant.

Perhaps you disagree with that. Perhaps you think it is fine for a golf club restaurant to treat customers who are already in the restaurant (during snowbird season) like trash so that you can hold a table for your golfing buddies who are not already in the restaurant. Indeed, if you do understand Russ's point and you disagree, then this would be your position.

Is it?

Boy Howdy.

Should I get the girls together?

Probably best to have them at the ready............

Bill

I bow to your superior ego (erm, intellect) - the one that failed to recognize that snarky was directed back at myself... the poor little match girl...

:BigApplause::BigApplause:

Yes! Then you and Red can take me out back-- and tickle me silly.

There are consistently good restaurants here in TV's, e.g., Cane Garden,
Thai Ruby, Lopez and The Lighthouse are our favorites. We just ate at
Sakora near Colony Cottage on 466A and it was very, very good and cute
inside.

We are not fond of chain restaurants even though some here are decent. Sorry you had a bad experience, but the manager is there for a reason.

SQUIRT GUN SQUAD AT THE READY!

I agree
 

I am always puzzled by the bad reviews the Villages restaurants get on the TOV. My husband and I are pretty choosy, and we've been happy with most of the restaurants we've visited. We have had an occasional off night when the service wasn't up to usual standards, or the food wasn't as warm as we like (for example) but overall we have been very pleased. If you're looking for gourmet fare and top notch, highly trained wait-staff you may be disappointed, but you'd also be spending much less $$.

Don't know what that lady was talking about! We took our visiting family to Mallory for supper last week and the food was fabulous. And the server couldn't have been more pleasant. We were in a little bit of a hurry and she accomodated us excellently. I mean where can you eat for 8.99 and get all that! I will probably eat there again on Thursday night for Italian night. Excellent!!
Sincerely,

We both really like Mallory Hill CC, too. We try to go every Friday for their Victorian Lake Perch dinner. Marrrvelouuusss.

We a moving to the Villages shortly. In the process of packing up this old homestead and shipping it down south. Y'all complaining about the places to eat should come visit us. We have 7, thats right, 7, places to chose from with out a 50 miles or longer drive. Can't wait to get to a place with over 200 to chose from and BTW, only 3 are worth while. We are headed to one today for Honey's birthday. She's only 29 with some change.

Thanks for that reality check!! Yes, I'm staying here in TV!

not sure what the Greek Ostrich was referring to but once again we went to the Mallory Country club. B:wave:ut a group of us went last evening and everone thought it was great. it cost us $22 so what can you expect. The portions were big the food was hot and good and Colleen our waitress was a lot of fun and very courteous.What could be any better for $22. Our guests were extremely pleased.
Lay Away Queen:wave::wave:

First let me say that I would not make a good food reviewer! I am like my mother; "easy to please". My mother was always positive and never grumpy, when she had a meal it was always "delicious". I too almost always find something good about a meal, even if it isn't five star quality. I had a superior at the company I worked for that considered himself a wine and food connesseur (sp?). He almost always had to reprimand the staff or send something back when he ate out. I usually found everything to be excellent and was very happy with my meal. Which of us do you think was generally happier? It seems to me you go through life with the choice of being easily pleased or hard to please. While some people laud the hard to please people as being discriminating and possessing high standards, I see them as generally unhappy people. Now that is not to say that truly shoddy service or badly prepared food, or a dirty environment are acceptable, but I simply find that to be a rare exception. By the way, I LOVE Mallory!

I also enjoy Mallory.Always had a fine dining experience with food and service.My only "negative" is the noise.The room seems to hold the noise in.Lighthouse is that way too but would not keep me from dining at either place.

I have found all the country club restaurants to be inconsistent but mostly good experiences as the food is usually decent and inexpensive. Glenview I find is a little skimpy on some of their meals for what they charge and Havana still has service problems. They all have good days and some not so good days.However I find them all acceptable and as I said, usually a good dining experience.

I promised myself that I would never critque a eatery here on TOTV. A previous poster said " we are easy to please". I believe that is the key if you are one of those individuals who likes to eat out. One measurement to watch has to do with turnover, either as to the eatery itself and /or its management and staff. Good luck in your hunt to bag the "big one"...oH I meant to say the "good one"
