If I want a really good meal I stay home as my Wife is 5 star in my book.
You are right, not everyone likes the same thing. To me it's not so much about the food as it is getting out and dining with friends.

Not in a million years! Last time we ate at Palmer, on the terrace, there were three rats running amuck around the tables. When I complained the next day to Matt, one of the manager, he said: Yeah, we have a problem, but there are no rats inside. Sooooo, why did you put our group of 30 people outside? No love for Palmer, except at the bar.

Had some very good meals and memories there

Dinner tonight at Legacy was excellent. The roast duck and stuffed filet of sole were each prepared nicely. If may not be “fine dining” but the service and food were as good as it needs to be for us.

Meat Loaf was very good too.

Sounds like fine dining to me. :)

If this is true--its the end of fine dining in TV
Here is Hemingway at Havana's website.

Our Story

Hmmm.. looks like the same company has owned both restaurants since 2014

Here is an article about Hemingway opening in 2014 under John McDonough, owner of Legacy at Lopez.

The Havana country club restaurant is temporarily closed, but when it reopens as Hemingway’s at Havana, you can expect some big changes.
An all-star cast of Villages restaurant experts will be on board when the restaurant reopens and rebrands.
Here’s the lineup of the heavy hitters for the new restaurant:
• John McDonough who was originally brought in to run Katie Belle’s and now owns the Legacy Restaurant at the Nancy Lopez Country Club.

https://**************.com/havana-re...an-re-opening/ (online news site)

So your reliable source is talking about what? It appears that he got it backwards, and about 4 years too late.

Those were pet rats trained to clean up:wave:

Goodlife you got it all wrong, John McDonough sold Hemmingways to the person who owns Red Sauce, Johhny Rockets and Amerikanos--Now he will,also, be acquiring "Legacy"

John McDonough will be out of the restaurant business inTV shortly

No, he got it right. Those articles are 3 years old. Hemmingway's is gone as of this past summer and the new owners running it also own Johnny Rockets and Amerikanos. Word is that Mcdonough has had health issues and is no longer active at Lopez and that the restaurant will be sold. He lost his head chef at Hemmingways toward the end of 2016 and the menu deteriorated from then. It was the best fish house in TV and is sorely missed.

Chatbrat, how about an update on one of your previous doomsday prophecies....

Actually I cited one article that was 3 years old, the other cite was the current web page for Hemingway/Havana restaurant. They might need to update that.

LOL I remember that, an "investor" in a company that no longer sells stock.
