They are long-time Florida residents, but they've never been to The Villages. They are considering looking at homes here. We'd like to take them to lunch to a nice place that shows off The Villages. We are considering a Country Club, but we haven't had a chance yet to visit them. Any recommendations for a good place to show off our hometown? Thanks. Mike

Legacy Restaurant at Nancy Lopez
The best

Havana is great and they will take reservations. Not all the CC take reservations.

Either Havana’s or Nancy Lopez

I would highly recommend the Legacy at Nancy Lopez Country Club or Havana’s both are great and the food is impeccable

If they are golfers I know that they would enjoy seeing the memorabilia in the Arnold Palmer restaurant

I vote also for Legacy restaurant , Nancy Lopez CC. Nice outside siting area, delicious food and managent is so welcoming.

Palmer CC food is reliable and very good; however, their tables and chairs badly need replacing. I was embarrassed when we brought guests there.

All the suggestions so far are great. We always take our guests to Orange Blossom Hills CC in the historical district. It has the most beautiful pool in The Villages with its beautiful waterfall and jacuzzi! Also, the view from the parking lot looking south, overlooks the golf course and the Spanish Springs section. Finally, you can show them where The Villages started back in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s and how the oldest village is so beautifully maintained even today!

I agree they have great food but they need to remodel.

Funny how different taste buds are, because we think Giovanni has the most tasteless Italian food. Excellent antipasto and garlic knots, though.

If it’s a nice day we like to take friends to Lake Sumter Landing and RJ Gators restaurant. It is right on the lake and a pretty view. There are a couple of other restaurants on the lake but we have only been to RJs. There is one with a lighthouse that a friend went to and liked, but said it was pricey.

Kentucky Fried Chicken or Popeyes works for Mew Yorkers

Lopez or glenview are the most pleasing to me. Remind me of a typical
Golf club. Great food as well. Mallory has great view.

Chop House is the best.
