Don't go to Belle Glade with a large group. We were there last night with our golf group. We arrived around 6:45 and didn't get out until after 9:00. We were told we would have two servers, but only had one. The checks were all screwed up and when we left some people still hadn't received their checks. Don't try to use a coupon along with a Loyal Tee card--they won't accept both. Hey, I PAID for that Loyal Tee card!!! They also keep changing the rules for the Loyal Tee members. We used to get call-ahead seating. Now, forget it! It's a shame since this restaurant has such a great view. We have had other problems with restaurants under the same ownership. Coupons in the newspaper often don't explain the various restrictions that apply. I guess they don't care since there is so much demand for restaurants in The Villages.

Most places don't let you use 2 offers. It's 1 or the other.

Agree they are NOT very good about larger groups. We now go some place else after golf.

Wow and the prime season is not yet in full swing

Today of all days...

[karostay]

How large of a group?

[missypie]

Loyalty cards loyal to whom? What a joke to actually pay for a restaurant loyalty card. Say what you want, but it is a great business decision on their part.

[Northwoods]

We have a Loyalty Card and it's been a great deal. We've more than recouped our $20 from visits and saved $3 every time we have a Margarita/martini. Great deal and we'd do it again. Missypie -- I know a number of people who find great value in the Loyalty Card and choose those restaurants because of the discounts. So yes... a great business decision.

Well I guess it helps you save money in the long run. If you are a " loyal customer " you are given discounts for your purchase.

Quit complaining - life is too short - did you make reservations? If you are complaining now - wait til snowbird season. Thee workers here go out of their way to accommodate the people here. Get over it! They put the last person on the cross who was perfect!

Yep, life is just too short !! I'm too busy enjoying life to sweat the small stuff.

When we were new in our neighborhood, we would go out to dinner together in large groups. Thirty or so. We went to different places each week. Every time we had less than the usual service we might have expected in smaller groups. And we waited.


A word to the wise is sufficient.

Ate here after twilight golf. Sat on the patio and mosquitos were terrible. Service was also terrible. I'm guessing that the server didn't want to go out with the mosquitos either. Went inside for some to finish. Took forever to get the bills too. We didn't get the proper Loyalty Card discount. Will sit inside if we decide to eat there again.

We have learned that some places are good for some things, and some are not, in terms of both food and groups. We act accordingly. It saves aggravation, and we always have a good time.

Went there twice. thought the first may have been a fluke. Same bad service the second time. Will not be a third. There are too many choices to keep making a bad one.
