This is a community service of The Villages Gourmet Club containing unbiased restaurant reviews by club members, in central Florida, without any advertisements. Our purpose is to promote and celebrate good food and exceptional service at reasonable and fair prices. Restaurants listed serve dinner only, unless otherwise stated (such as B/L/D). Fast food establishments are not included. Not every restaurant listed is considered gourmet, however most establishments are famous for at least one specialty. Underlined names are linked to another website containing more information. Videos giving more particulars about the establishment are linked with a 
symbol. Some vintage postcards are also linked to historic videos. Establishments with free WiFi are indicated with a 
symbol. You may print out the description of each restaurant with the button, or driving directions with or without a map with the button. In the reviews, Q stands for Food Quality, S for Wait Service and V for Meal Value, all scored 1 to 5 each. "Return" indicates if the reviewer would come back again. We have a strict rule, only Club Members may submit a review; read the step by step instructions on our Directions Page. Then just click on that listing's button to get started. Make sure your browser preferences are set for "Enable JavaScript" for the buttons to work properly. To search for a specific location or style of food, use the search box at the bottom of the window on review pages for keywords like "lamb", "Italian" or "Leesburg". To read 2006-2010 reviews, position your cursor over "Older Review". Reload the page or relaunch your browser if the older review box misbehaves. Where restaurants have been reviewed at least twice, their average rating is indicated by our STAR SYSTEM, ranging from:

"Some friends have asked us about the secret to our long marriage. I answer, we take time to go to a nice restaurant four times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and even dancing. She goes Tuesdays and Thursdays and I go Wednesdays and Fridays. " - Henny Youngman.
