Default Singing Servers at Havana Country Club

Singing Servers at the Havana Country Club is a first for the Villages! What a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday or anniversary, or treat visitors. Opening Night was like New Year's Eve! It was fantastic. The food was delicious, but the entertainment was fabulous! There's nothing like georgeous, young, talented waiters singing your favorite songs! It's a hit!
We're going again next week with several couples before the Tour groups start reserving tables.

Gorgeous waiters aren't my thing, if you know what I mean!

We already heard on the other thread about singing servers, which is nothing more than:

Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

With the disgusting, literally rotten food we had there, it's an insult to customers' intelligence to pretend that singing waiters would appease us.

How do you know they have roaches. They said the bug on a previous post was a gnat. Per Jacky who said she was the waitress who served them.

If you are referring to my previous post about a bug in my salad, it was definitely not a gnat. It was about 1/4 inch ling, thin and reddish brown bug. This was Monday night. I am not interested in eating salads out ever since. I am opting for soup from now on, at least the critters will be boiled and crawling around. Lol good source of protein?

You know what's worse than finding a roach in your food?

Finding half a roach.

When I called to cancel my reservations and told the hostes about these posts she put the manager on the phone. She claimed that these posts were from disgruntled ex employees. She also said all Resteraunts have bugs.

My wife thinks it is healthier to eat home so I hope she doesn't find that out.

When I spoke to the hostess she said they were fully booked tomorrow so I guess the bug hasn't hurt business. But I'm not eating there.

Wow, they must have a lot of disgruntled employees!

OK, someone from TOTV will probably check to see if all the tables are full tomorrow.

It is normal for restaurants to have a few bugs but as always, it's what an owner/operator DOES about a problem that matters.

The problem with Havana is that they had these same violations repeated and warnings issued, with nothing apparently done about it.

And for us, I never saw bugs in my food, but it did look like and had the texture of leftover chicken meat that had been sitting uncovered in a refrigerator for 2+ weeks, and it stunk! They offered a replacement choice, but once I gag at the smell or look of rotten food somebody put on that plate without caring, I'm done. They gave us some coupon cards for two future free dinners or some such thing, but I couldn't look at going back there. And then we saw the health dept. inspections violations....

They need new ownership AND management, period. Why TV commercial property makes a new lease with this bunch is beyond me.
