If you are talking in The Villages proper....I like Too Jay's. We're close to Brownwood, but there is one at Lake Sumter Landing.

My kitchen, but it's not open to the public. We need an old fashioned Greek diner. Haven't been to First Watch here, but always found them good in other places in SW Florida.

We love Billy's BUT.......we would not bring guests there simply because the ambiance is not very nice. Sorry, Billys.

Now......you want to give your guests a lovely atmosphere for breakfast, brunch or lunch, my heartfelt recommendation is for "First Watch" on 466A. The food is incredible and I've only had one over done Fritata Rustica of the many I have been served. The food is fresh and usually the service is great. I will leave you with "you get what you pay for".

I agree with you about First Watch's food, but I think the inside ambiance is meh, and the outside can be very windy.
For ambiance, we like one of the country club porches, especially Palmer, where you can sit under cover but outside and look out onto the golf course. The food isn't quite as good as First Watch, but it's decent.
