Default Restaurant where you can hear a conversation

Just enjoyed another fabulous meal at Paulie's The Oaks Restaurant off Rt. 44 within the Continental Country Club property. A really nice dining experience where the tables are spaced far enough apart that you can carry on a conversation and be heard without raising your voice. Meals were all delicious, Service was excellent, and the Restaurateur, Paulie, knows how to be successful. Check out the menu at: paulies at the oaks on 44 dot com ...
. (all one word) .

This is boring. I thought we were going to a restaurant to listen to other people's conversations.

Need to put that place back on my list, reminds me of dining at specialty restaurants on a cruise ship.

Ate there once. The food, while good, was nothing exceptional.

The decor and ambiance reminded me of a very dated country club that would not accept me as a member some 50-60 years ago...

Looks OK, but in 9 years of being Villagers we have eaten out a grand total of one time at a place that’s not golf cart accessible.

We are definitely fans of The Oaks. Nice atmosphere, excellent service and both times we had dinner the food was very good. I understand Paulie use to be at the Rose Plantation in Fruitland Park prior to starting his own restaurant at The Oaks. It’s conveniently located on State Route 44 just west of Morse Blvd in Continental Country Club.

This is funny because just today my husband said he wished he could have some chicken livers in brown gravy and just like that, here it is! I wonder can you get dinner items for lunch?

The restaurant looks nice from the picture, but $22.50 for 1 crab cake starter?!! Or $42.50 for crab cakes as an entree?!!! That's probably just 2 of them. I don't mind paying for a quality meal once in a blue moon, but just those 2 prices make me shake my head.

Please tell me you are joking... If you are not comfortable driving in the area, take an Uber ...I really hope you are pulling our legs.

Yes I’ve had the experience going out for a romantic dinner only to have a band or karaoke blasting away. No fault of the restaurant but mine for not doing research in advance.

IMO they are the best crab cakes I have had since moving from the north. No filler just crab. Like my mom would say, "you get what you pay for".
