Since you will be in TV for the LSV, make sure to go to the resident only restaurant - Katie Belle's -- Great entertainment and excellent food. Plus, if you like steak, it has the Cattle Baron club upstairs... IT does require reservations on Monday nights due to the entertainment though.

The five restaurants that we've tried and liked are (listed in No particular ranking):

1. Giovanni's
2. Bonefish
3. Evan's Prairie
4. Oakwood grille
5. Carabara's (sp?)

All but Oakwood are golf cart accessible.

Well, where did you go? Which establishment would you recommend to others?

We like Nancy Lopez on Monday nights, and Cane Garden & Red Sauce anytime.

Just returned from our Design visit. Third time in TV. Can't wait to try more of the restaurants.
We tried the following in no specific order......
-Cattle Barron- disappointing food, heavy sauces and not much flavor, but loved
watching the entertainment at Katie Belle's during the evening
-Cody's- Yum! Ribs were great!
-Gator's- not up to par, won't return
-Thai Ruby- Not the best Thai, but quite good and a nice change from other options
-City Fire- (Brownwood) good food, been there 3 times now and never disappointed
-Evans Prairie_ Great atmosphere and good menu
-Nancy Lopez- Beautiful location, great food
-Arnold Palmer- Steak and Lobster very good
-Burkes- went by, no cars there at all on a Saturday at 7:00pm, so we left. will try
another time after reading good reviews here
-Lighthouse- good fish, no tables outside, will try that again hoping for an outside table
-Bonefish- excellent as all locations seem to be
-5 guys- My hubby never met a burger he didn't like, so he loved it!! I liked the fries!
(I'm not a burger/sandwich fan)
-Johnny Rocket's- hubby happy there too. Not high on my list
-Cane Garden- Prime Rib night, mine way too fatty, hubby's great.

so many more places to try..... can't wait! During Design our designer said (in jest) that it really didn't matter if our oven was self cleaning, no one cooks! I can see why with so many choices.

(note to self: Gotta make a check list!)

I know you are looking for restaurants in The Villages but if you want true New England seafood, try Celebration Towne Tavern in Celebration, FL (a little over an hour drive). The owners are from Ipswich, MA and have fresh seafood flown in daily. Clam Chowder is to die for! Whole belly fried clams and Maine lobsters are available as well as lobster rolls. Well worth the drive for great seafood! Check out their menu on line.

Just have to give a great big thank-you to Bob Evans for my delicious Thanksgiving dinner. Our son and his fiance' were here----only for 4 days---I did not want to spend my day in the kitchen---ordered their Thanksgiving Dinner---even though there were only 4 of us--I ordered the dinner for 8 (we wanted leftovers) ===EVERYTHING was wonderful====The turkey breast was so juicy---their dressing was like my grandmother's cornbread dressing---we also had buttered corn, green beans cooked with ham, wonderful mashed potatoes, gravy , a pumpkin pie to die for with topping, an apple loaf cake, , their cranberry sauce which is made from whole cranberries-orange zest, etc., their rolls, ------ don't think I could have topped any of their dishes------
