[QUOTE=Polar Bear;1356170]And I never attributed my words to you.

It was simply my observation related to what could easily have been interpreted as a rather condescending post.[/QUOTE



I guess trying keep a healthy and kosher lifestyle can be condescending, to some, and apologize for upsetting so many about how we raise and prepare food. Ya know like growing our own veggies, and not getting our meat from a grocery. Having someone teach us to prepare food, that keeps with our beliefs.
A PM I have received asked me not so politely to consider dropping out of this site. Thank you for pointing out my improprieties, if it would have not been for you I would not have realized how much I offend people. I am done.

Please don't leave, you're just as entitled to your opinion as anyone else and if someone can't handle them...that's their problem.

Don't let the bullies win.

I have read, but cannot figure out, who was so offended, nor why, for that matter. What improprieties?? What offenses??

Please. Don't go. There are a very few vulgar folks here. Ignore them.

I am surprised> I got in touch with the owner via Email concerning there very limited Wine list. In particular Sauvignon Blanc ( New Zealand ) they sell it by the glass $8.00 ..Kim Crawford but not the bottle..A total rip off.

The menu is limited and close @8:00pm..I'll give them a pass and go to Bonefish, Hemingway, Lopez..

Looking @the Rose Plantation menu..not impressed.

Way in advance?
They only take reservations for this week and next week.
Can't reserve for your birthday dinner next month.
Either they have a very small reservation book or they think they might not be around long.
Don't know what that's all about.

It's 35-40 minutes to Mark's Prime Steakhouse in Ocala - there are high-end restaurants all around TV. If you're on the south end, it's not that far to Winter Park, Winter Garden - even Mt. Dora has a couple of decent places. If you want a "dining experience", you can find it (and pay for it). I taught business for years, and of course, the restaurant business is one of the toughest out there - everyone so far is correct, TV's populace won't support a Ruth Chris or Morton's on a year-round basis. It's like putting another pizza joint in a college town - the fall, winter & spring are great, but the summers are murder for them, including the difficulty in getting & keeping good help! There IS life "outside the bubble" - go explore!

Excellent post!

Orlando has some really fine restaurants. A great time to try them is September during their Magical Dining Month. A special 3 course meal at over 100 restaurants for $35.

The Capitol Grill, Roy's, Eddie V's, Emeril's, and others are among the fine dining experiences you can enjoy.

I always wonder why some people have to brag about money.
What's nice is we can all spend money on things that are important to us.
We love to travel so that's where we like to spend our money. We can't eat big meals like we used to so sometimes we're good with appetizers. If I get a meal, it always ends up coming home with me.
I have had many expensive wines. I actually like some of the less expensive wines. I'm a Napa Valley kind of girl.
