Open a classic restaurant not inside the Villages but close to the Villages. I think most people would like to have a choice of fine dining and getting dressed up for an evening. Not a huge restaurant just an elite restaurant with excellent food & service.

Bamboo Bistro
Not a Thai restaurant.

I second the motion of a NY style deli. Hot corned beef/ pastrami, etc.

I'd love a GOOD quality Indian restaurant (one that doesn't blow your blood vessels out with sodium), or a Middle-Eastern falafel joint that makes their own tahini, halvah and falafels from scratch.


I miss gulab jamuns and a cheerful kheer, I miss papadam...and I really really miss home-made pistachio halvah.

Portuguese cuisine restaurant. No one here knows how good Portuguese food is. Don't know what their missing.

I myself miss a good old Detroit Coney Island (there is a place in Clearwater that serves Detroit Coney Island but it is so far away),white cream of broccoli soup (no cheese) like from Olgas and of course white castles.
Olgas. I miss Olgas! A week or so ago I was at Spanish Springs, standing in a line of 2800 Michiganders (!) for two hours to get some Koegel's pickled bologna ring for my husband. People started listing restaurants they miss. Olgas was high on the list.

Hi,

My wife & I will be moving down shortly and I have 25 years in the restaurant business. I want to explore possibly opening up my own restaurant in the Villages. What type of new restaurant would you like to see open?

Cheers,

Dylan & Erin
I would love to see a semi fast food Indian Restaurant. One where you order at the counter and then they bring the food to you. Check out this establishment in Fremont California. I used to live there and went here all the time. Place was packed with a line out the door at lunchtime. Chaat Cafe | Menu

A Coney Island place that serves good breakfast and lunch fare. Ask anyone from Metro Detroit what they think of a Coney Island joint! Look up National Coney Island.

Rose Plantation opened with that in mind....no shorts, no jeans, collared shirts etc. Not sure how that worked out?
