Thank you so much!! I've been blessed with a loving Mom and am so lucky to have her near us. I can't ever repay her for all she has done for me.

I was waiting for "why would you go outside the bubble when there is--------------restaurant right here in The Villages, especially since many posters take umbrage at those you complain about various country club restaurants and village restaurants as a whole.

Personal Best Regards:

McLeod House Bistro in Inverness has great food and a great atmosphere. Totally different from any restaurant in TV.

I like Harrys in Ocala on the square and Harbor Lights on Lake Panosoffkee.

Crackers in Crystal River is a nice place, very popular with local families, moderate pricing good service . Another in the same area is Plantation. It is south of Crystal and is located near the top end of the Kings Bay. On Sundays they have a buffet. I like this place because it is usually not as noisy as TV eateries. You go through the bar to the dining area which is closed off from the bar. the restaurant is called something else but it is a the Plantation Resort in CR.

I agree with Bonnie. She knows her restaurants. Both are good choices, depending on the kind of food Mom likes. Harry's is New Orleans style, Harbor Lights is seafood. Another choice is Eaton's Beach for the view, but not the food. Mount Dora has a nice selection, including excellent German. Many, many acceptable restaurants from which to choose.

I love Harry's. Just be aware many of their entrees are spicy.

We've never eaten at the Mission Inn, Howie in the Hills but the property is magnificent and suggests that it would be a fine dining experience, and it's not far from TV.

McLeod House Bistro. They do a nice job. Tell them it's her birthday when you make the reservation.

sorry you go to the wrong restaurants here and for some reason are blind to tables full of visored women. I'm sure your dining issues can be resolved elsewhere.
