I agree with Wandatime that its probably a learning curve of who prepares your personal choices the best and consistently.
I also like Lil Bits for breakfast, have been eating there a lot for the past year and never had a bad breakfast. Service is excellent, restaurant very clean. I have had some of their sandwiches and they are excellent and freshly cooked as well. I like ToJays but pick the times when it isn't crowded and you will probably get better service and a better presentation of your order (warmer, etc). I eat out just about every night at Country Clubs (mainly because I follow the music and where I can dance) and Bonifay has some good meals, you'll learn what you like to order. Salads are excellent and some entrees are very good. I haven't really had a bad meal yet. Lunch at Mallorys is very nice (again, pick your time it can get crowded) and I love their pizzas and burgers and salads. Cane Garden is my choice for a special occasion. I've had their nightly special many times and they were excellent. I also had very good Filet Mignon there and it was superb. Havana (or Hemingway) since the turnover of management has improved 125% - excellent food, service and its now a clean place. I recommend it highly. Off campus, is Eaton's Beach in Weirsdale. Great view of the lake, very good food and great service. But can get very very crowded, so pick your times again. BTW, I'm not a foodie but I would never drive very far to have a meal. I would rather find a place within the villages that I personally enjoyed and found them to be consistent in quality of food and service. That's my opinion. I hope you come back and try everything like I did and hope to see you dancing around town. Say hi to the old broad with red hair and glasses if you see me. Regards, KathieI

Food here & there
We like to eat out as much (or more) as the next person, and we value diversity a bunch.
that said, these are a few of my favorites We go to Orlando for Dim Sum Vietnamese Indian buffet Sanford The Willow Tree (best German place nearby, and the evening entertainment "Schunkel Abend" is lots of fun) Villages: Katie Belle's breakfast buffet is my guilty pleasure Lil Bits has good breakfast, TooJays not bad Osso Buco dinner at Evans Prairie Pizza at Flippers Las Tapas (be adventurous, try the Arroz Negro) BangBang Wednesday at Bonefish Wierd dale Eaton's Beach is Very good, and they provide shuttle service for large groups Leesburg Ichiban Chinese/Sushi buffet |

Kleeh - We love The Villages... it was the right move for us. But I understand what you are saying. We've been here for 8 months and our experience has been that people value good food at reasonable prices. The long lines at many restaurants prove that. You can get a good/very good meal here, but our limited experience has been that you're not going to find a restaurant that offers creative/innovative/exceptional cuisine. You mention that with 110,000 people there would be demand, but my impression has been that cost weighs heavily on dining decisions here. We've found restaurants that we enjoy very much... but we have not yet found that restaurant that offers the creative cuisine that you're looking for.

Thank you for TV recommendations...that is what I was looking for and do appreciate them. |

I think the one exception that comes closest to creative cuisine is Tapas in Brownwood!!
