That "private club" at SS was the beginning of Cattle Barons. They wanted us to pay to eat and enjoy ourselves - with a minimum fee. When they did not get any takers, they tried other schemes but no one would bite. So it is what it is now. Just another place to eat in TV. BUT it is semi-private because you have to be a Villager (or have a guest pass) to get into Katie Belles. Cattle Barons is on the second floor.

I saw 2 limousines pull up at the rear of Red Sauce and a wedding party was escorted up the back stairs so I thought it was a function room.

No this was across the street om Main Street above the Margherita Republic area. I remember the Cattle Barron debacle too.

So would Cattle Baron's at Katie Bell's be a special place to take relatives from up north to eat? Or would it be better at a country club such as Cane Gardens or Bonifay? They are coming just for the day next Friday the day after Thanksgiving.

I think Cattle Baron is beautiful. The food is delicious & reasonable. You can sit upstairs & listen to the music downstairs. It's also nice to sit out on the balcony for a drink.

There is another thread devoted to Cattle Barrons and not so positive. My experiences there have been negative and I will not go back. the CC's are a much better value.
