Okay, here is why restaurant complaints are pointless and can be counter productive. 4 of us ate there Tuesday night and came away totally happy...good meals and good service. Now class, what have we learned?

USDA Prime? I've yet to see prime cuts at Publix. They have only been USDA Choice.

This brings up a question I've had since moving here a couple of years ago. With all the cattle raised in and around the Villages, why are there no actual butcher shops to be found? Closest thing to a butcher shop is Fresh Market but nothing else.

We had dinner there last Saturday evening around 7:30. It was a terrible experience. I ordered an 18 ounce bone-in ribeye ($32). The steak I received had a bone of no more than 2 inches and at least a third of the steak was a big blob of fat. When I asked for the manager, I was told "ok, we will get you another one." No apology. The replacement steak that I received looked like a bone-in ribeye but was only about 1/2 thick and also had a huge blob of fat - almost 4 inches in diameter. And the steak had little flavor. It was worse than a cheap breakfast steak you get at a low quality diner. And then the service. It too was terrible. We ordered drinks from our waiter. Three of the 4 drinks arrived via another server. We told him one of the drinks was omitted. About 10 minutes later, I summoned a bus boy and asked for our waiter because we were missing a drink. The drink arrived about 10 minutes later, just before our meals were served. Then we never saw our waiter again until he brought the check. I am forgiving on challenged service when a restaurant is real busy, I can excuse substandard service. But the place was only about 3/4 full. Overall an unacceptable experience and a "never return."

Restaurants will usually be hit or miss, given the high turnover, the flakiness of the employees, the high variability in tips, and the low propensity of fixed income seniors to tip enough after a small meal. . . especially with Orlando near by for employment.

Have seen it outside the bubble here in MA, just this week, i ordered a Rachael, and the cook forgot the thousand island dressing and the sauerkraut. Will always go back to the restaurant though, as its local and not a chain, and we seldom see the same servers night in and night out. Chains are no different.. .
