She said Gifroy wears a different jacket for each holiday! Thank you for making our Valentine lunch extra special.“

“We had a small gathering of friends at the new Harvest Restaurant in The Villages, Brownwood to be exact. We were seated in a small private room off the main dining area. There were eight of us, Misty took care of our table.As a waitress she got everything correct, including billing at the end of a three and a half hour meal.I enjoyed the squash soup prior to a main course meal of scallops and risotto. I paid for three meals, my wife's, my own and a dear friend. Our bill came out to $130 dollars with 4 alcoholic drinks. With tip we walked out 153 dollars lighter but a little heavier from the delicious food.We gave the Harvest Restaurant a 5 star rating due to the ambience and the service, food was excellent with no complaints from our large group.I have added some food photos.“

“I stumbled upon this cozy restaurant one evening, looking for a place that offered both great food and a lively atmosphere, and I was not disappointed. The moment I walked in, the warmth and charm of the place struck me. It felt like stepping into a friend's inviting dining room, complete with the buzz of conversation and laughter. The menu caught my eye with its array of American classics, each with a unique twist that promised a culinary adventure.The live entertainment was the cherry on top. It turned what could have been just another dinner into a truly memorable experience, adding a vibrancy that's hard to find elsewhere. The staff were incredibly welcoming, treating me like an old friend rather than just another customer. My meal was delightful, from the first bite to the last, and the ambiance made me linger longer than I had planned. It was the perfect blend of casual comfort and refined dining, making me eager to return. This place isn't just about eating out; it's about enjoying every moment, surrounded by good vibes and even better company.“

“I must confess that I was eager to get to know this wonderful place! I had previously heard about it, I was very impressed by the warmth of the place, when you go up the stairs and open the door the feeling is cozy! We had a reservation and went straight to a private room! We receive immediate attention! The girl who helped us was great! The food is according to the local! Good starter Scallops along with a wonderful soup! The next dish was well presented and flavored according to the choice! The dessert was also appropriate! I was expecting an explosion of flavors…..but it was still really good! The bartender has a lot of experience and knows how to do his service very well! Thanks for that Macallan and my wife's cocktails!!! Without a doubt, it would be a restaurant that I would return to whenever I am invited, since it is only by invitation or by membership!“

“Serendipitous find! Two of us sat at the indoor bar mid day and enjoyed both the bar menu and regular. GAVIN the bartender made the very best mojitos and we are mojito experts. Perfectly balanced, served quickly with a smile, these are worth making our visits coincide with his bar shifts. (Tuesdays and Thursdays). The food was everything we wanted and well prepared. The social scene is happening outside if that’s your preference. Inside was quiet (mid afternoon) and conducive to conversation and connection. We could not have asked for better service or enjoyment.“

“We are bar people, anytime we can opt for the bar we are there. We sat at the bar today Jackie n Joe were working behind the bar. Excellent service, efficient but not pushy. Friendly ? Absolutely. Food: we had spicy chicken lettuce wraps, bacon wrapped meatloaf and fennel sausage pizza. Everything was delicious and well seasoned. We opted for house wine on HH. Do not let the “stiffness” of the people (host:hostess) who seat you deter you. It was a great experience.“

“Had a gyro here yesterday. It was fresh and flavorful. The tzatziki sauce was the best I've had in Florida, hands down.I've had several of the different burgers and they never disappoint.The strawberry fields salad is divine with the champagne dressing; I added grilled chicken to mine it was amazing!!The special events I've attended have also been lovely. My whole family came for the Thanksgiving feast. It was a beautiful spread with two meat carving stations as well as a full buffet of spectacular dishes.The appetizers are great here if you just want to come for Karaoke or Trivia Night. The staff are all welcoming and skilled. The bartenders also are top notch and serve up great personalities along with drinks and food.Dietary restrictions: Just let your server know, the kitchen staff is amazing.Parking: Lots of parking for cats and golf carts.Wheelchair accessibility: There's a wide ramp entrance and path from the marked parking spaces right into the front door.“
