Default Fire at Vic's Embers Supper Club

Vic's Embers Supper Club in Leesburg caught fire just before midnight and firefighters battled the flames most of the morning. The building is a total loss.

Maybe they can re build here in The Villages? Always had good food there.

She's on the news video and doesn't seem very upset. Perhaps she's in shock.

I'm very sorry to read about the fire. When the ashes and debris are cleaned away I hope Vic Embers rebuilds between Leesburg and The Villages.

This is so sad. I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to feel, when you see something you love, is no longer there. It was on my list of places to go to. Hopefully, they will rebuild closer to TV.

Default Very sad news

DW and I along with friends have enjoyed special occasion meals there on a few different celebrations and always enjoyed being spoiled. Hopefully it will come back even better then before.

Hubby and I had a very special date there before we were married. I loved the place. music, food, dancing. One of my most wonderful memories in the spring of 2001 before he asked me to marry him!!...I am heart-sick that this happened. I can only hope that they can rebuild...shame though....more employees out of work during the holidays!!

One of my favorite restaurants---especially for special occasions. Vic himself was often there making sure all was well. This is a loss for the area

This is such a loss to the area and makes at least four restaurants that have closed since last season, including Orange Blossom, Fridays and O'Sheas.

I don't think that building is big enough for what they need. Hopefully they will be able to re build shortly.
