No, the place is a ghost town.
We’ve eaten there a bunch, and it’s always empty

I would say “Gourmet Club” is a misnomer - their top ranked restaurant is City Fire in LSL.

Ahhhh .....

Their rating system is obvious weighted towards the Liquor side of the restaurant business?

Do people actually eat food at City Fire?

Their BarBQ is nothing special.

Agree.

Two other posts speak volumes.....(1)salad bar and (2) $6 pork.

You’re the financial guy and do you think a restaurant can make it on a $6.00 meal? That’s pure loss.

Fluoromethyl Ketone?

BlackHarley 05-09-2024 06:33 AM

Nope. Methyl Ethyl Ketone.

There is another question that should be asked, is the restaurant closing because of quality or due to rising rents.
In N.Y.C. there are restaurants almost on every block, some are good, and some are bad, but most close due to rising rents.
If it is the latter, the very restaurant you love might be next.

Based on the ad (as far as I can tell); the $6 meal was available at all of the Sonny's locations.

Some of them aren't too bad for what they are, but I once ate at the Sumter Landing location and it was scary bad.

Ate there many times. Always had great meal and service. Smells great as you pass by too... will miss the option.

Ive never been but I looked at the menu....the $6 sandwich is a Wednesday special. The rest of the menu is pretty uniform (price wise) as one would expect. Not sure if its a rent issue but previous post talked about server issues and poor quality. That's a killer for any establishment in the industry. Bad news travels fast!

This is our favorite for BBQ, as we have been to 3 different locations and always delicious and great service. Never been to Lake Sumter one. Must be a greedy landlord raising rent. Sad!

Never been there, never tasted the food, never experienced the service.....must be the greed.
