Once in awhile we get a not-so-good meal, not a bad one, though. For the most part, we get great service and great food in all the restaurants in the Villages.

Three times
We give places three times if by then 2 out 3 are bad we dont go back. Mallory is one we dont go to not in the last 2 years. Did try about 8 months ago same thing couldnt get a drink 35 minutes and we did ask the server 2 times about our drinks. I guess they just didnt like us not that I really care Beef O Bradys has always been good service food etc. It is what it is

If the first group holds seats for 30-40 minutes until the group on the 14th hole finishes, should other patrons who come in during that time have to wait for a table while seats are saved for people who will be there 40 minutes later? |

I think Bigalibaba's point was that he wants to be seated when he is finished golfing, and not wait for his compadres. Perhaps I'm missing the point here.

Not sure how I feel about this. I do know that I don't want to be told that it will be 30/40 min wait and I see 2-3 four tops empty while they finish their round. Don't think that's fair either. |

Mallory et al
Thank you all for reaffirming my belief that eating out ought to be an exception rather than the rule. Too often I found the wait to be long , the food just adequate and the price not commiserate with the experience. I therefore seldom eat out prefer to eat in even when I am going out. I only found three places locally in 5 years that I would return to. Make that two I had brunch at one of them yesterday to celebrate a birthdayand will never go back. I will never make a recommendation nor will I freely offer negative feedback. To each its own P.S. I married an excellent good who mentored under my mother

I kinda agree Rubicon. I know most people enjoy dining out, but I kinda like my own cooking...especially since most restaurants these days serve a lot of premade food, kinda like the restaurant variety of a TV dinner.
Last night at Cane, one of my favorite restaurants, I ordered roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy. It was O.K., not completely hot. Not awful, not wonderful. Now there are things I love at Cane, their salads and their burgers are always top notch...and the servers are just wonderful...always. I have another confession to make. I like to grocery shop too. Gracie. Born in the wrong century. I don't like to clean up, but Sweetie does that for us. I'm so lucky. |

Me too - it doesn't seem fair to the restaurant owner, the staff or other patrons to hold tables for 20 open for so long. If there are 5 foursomes playing, you are looking at 40+ minutes from the first group to the last group.
If Big Al wanted to be seated with the foursome immediately after his, then no worries...

Don't tell anyone but I'm with you. Maybe we can leave Sweetie and Linda home and hit the market!

Folks left out "cook" in my last post meant to say My wife is a good "cook". Scary when you realize you had an unintentional mental pause. I do not have the shopping gene but again I am married to a wonerdful woman although she is a couponaholic. A byproduct I am afraid of being reared in a family with 8 other siblings, and her father wasn't even catholic. Anyway careful shopping and cooking at home help us reduce spending or at least diverts spending toward items of a more lasting nature. I have a brother who unbashfully proclaims that he likes going out and likes being waited on. I agreed but reminded him that its good to be waited on as long as you don't have long to wait. Essentialy we all spend about the same amount of money it is just a matter of where. All of you enjoy your passions

How about keeping the playing field level. First group comes in at 1:00PM. Orders their lunch. Second group arrives 7 minutes later, orders their lunch, etc.etc. Only one table sits empty until the last group arrives. Now, how about considering that almost always there are other tables available so that other patrons don't have to wait at all. Bottom line is that these people are using a bunch of rules that they are not smart enough to interpret with logic and good sense. Hopefully they will understand when we don't show up in the Summer when they will be crying for our business. You can't alienate us in the Winter and try to kiss our butts in the Summer. I doesn't work that way if you have any concern for who your real customers are.
