I think the menu offers unusual dishes.....using fig in their dishes is a step of from the usual fare I'm used to. Can't wait to try this restaurant.

May I come to your house for dinner? Thanks.

Other than fast food (YUCK!!!), most restaurants will serve grilled chicken and healthy veggies. No veggies you like? Order a side salad to go with the grilled chicken. It really isn't difficult to eat heart healthy in The Villages. Even Applebees or Chili's offers those types of meals.

you are correct , plenty of healthy options, leave the sauces off the meat , no butter on veggies , lots of fish not breaded ,etc. etc . I eat out almost every night and get takeout the other nights, 83 , 138lbs , no meds

You've made a good point. As vegetarians , we're finding few choices especially in the county club restaurants. Thai Ruby is a delicious exception. I'd also like to see some low salt options.
