Great Chicago Fire coming to Leesburg you know!

Skip

I don't think you can really go wrong at any of them. I had one semi-dud meal but went back and everything was fine the second time. Mrs. Nucky says I was having a womenopause moment. I really like Riccardi's @ Brownwood. They took care of us on our first night here when nothing else was open, very gracious and what a meal! :mmmm::mmmm::mmmm:

Thanks for the heads up Skip. Checked Facebook and they will be serving Chicago style dogs, Italian beef with giardiniera, Italian sausage with peppers, and gyros right off the spit.

Of all restaurants in TV, I like my kitchen best.

who wants to drive to Mt. Dora. The question was for The Villages. it's sad to me that there are very few good restaurants here

Cane Garden is very Good

Marks Steak House in Ocala is nice for special occasions

Braised Onion was nice ( outside of villages )

So when are you inviting the other 120,000 of us over for dinner????:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

PS. Barefoot has to supply the lobster:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

I know it's unhealthy, but chili dogs and chips at Scooples is my favorite restaurant and food.

My hubby loves the chili dogs there!!

We tried the 2 for 1 shrimp fajitas last night at Cody's. And yes, they were great!

We also stumbled into the Japanese Steakhouse last Saturday and sat at the sushi bar and were surprised at how good the sushi and sashimi were. Adding that to our go-to list.

At Too-Jays I tend to get a quart of matzo ball soup for takeout, and that really hits the spot. I also like their chopped liver sandwiches. But somehow takeout there makes me happier than eating in.

I forgot to add Texas Roadhouse and Longhorn's on 441 if you like steak.

Some say Texas Roadhouse is too noisy for them but I had a steak with mushrooms and onions, that was great!!!

Toojay's serves cabbage soup on Wednesday's only. that i really like!

Basic Dining (good food and a reasonable price): Square 1, Bonefish, Lopez, Hemingways
For fine dining you need to leave The Villages. Our favorites: Chez Vincent, Winter Park; Chef Table's, Winter Garden; Bern's Steak House, Tampa. These are all a bit pricey but well worth the expense.

My favorite restaurants in TV are Bone Fish, Thai Ruby, and Square 1 (if the last one is in TV). Near TV, I like Chefs of Napoli on 301, Takis on 441, Oakwood on 441, and Stavros on 441.
Fiesta Grande in TV isn't bad, either. The Lighthouse has a great view, and Cody's has good burgers and a view.
I wish TV had, near by there were, a PF Chang's, Macaroni Grill, Uno's, and Portillo's.

In the Tampa and St Petersburg areas, try dining al fresco at the Don Cesar Hotel (St Pete's), the Cassis (Tampa), and in Tampa's Ybor City or St Augustine try the Columbia Restaurant.
