Default Birthday dinner for 20 people - Need suggestions on where to go in/near The Villages

Hello,

Does anyone have suggestions as to a restaurant in or close to The Villages that would be good for 15-20 people. It's my wife's birthday and I want to cover the bill for everyone so something like Wolfgang Puck would probably be a bit extreme. It would be nice if the place had a "room" for a large group of diners.

Thanks for your help.

Pasta Faire

A group of Lynnhaven neighbors went here a few years ago. There were about 16 or so of us. We sat together and the prices were reasonable. Good food.

Party Platters – Pasta Faire

We went to here to and got a private room for a different Lynnhaven dinner-- Home | Legacy Restaurant They might have changed hands since then though.

Most of the Country Club restaurants can handle it as well as just about any restaurant in town, they all would most likely welcome a large party. Now it just boils down to cost, Lopez or Orange Blossom,

Franchesco’s on Hw441, couple miles south of Hw 42 at the far right of the strip mall. They have a nice enclosed room and reasonable pricing.

I've only been to Lopez once, but we ate off to the side and didn't see the banquet area so I don't know what it looks like. We enjoy Orange Blossom somewhat regularly, and the banquet room handles parties of 15+ pretty smoothly.

Red Sauce in Sumter Landing has a nice room in the rear separate from the main dining room. Food is pretty good, plenty of room. I been in that room for special events and meetings 3/4 times.

Nancy Lopez or Evens Prairie will be able to handle that type of group. I do groups luncheons.
Also on 441 Summerfield at Francesco’s .

Lopez has a private room that we have used for about 20 people. Good service and good food.
