A 5 star experience from start to finish. The ambiance, attention to detail, hospitality, and cuisine were all highlights of a memorable experience. Making you feel like family the whole time.

Ambrosia and team did a stellar job for our large group. Our guests also loved the smokey old fashioned as well as the tableside Bananas Foster.

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!

Service by Ambrosia was excellent. Bison filet was tender, lean and had excellent flavor and cooked exactly as I ordered. Grilled salmon was very fresh and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere is peaceful and quiet. We had a wonderful evening.

Coming here is a treat and worth it. The filet here is the best cut of meat I've ever had, perfectly cooked. I'm a fan of whiskey cocktails, the old fashioned here has strong bitters and always premium whiskey is used.

Not even a question as being The Villages best culinary offering. The Angler's Club is an exclusive members only club located in the Lake Sumter Landing area. Chef Matt is a consistent master with his creations, and does not hesitate to include or exclude variations based upon members individual likes and dislikes. My own preference in beer was even acquired on the menu especially for me! The staff always knows your names and the service is extraordinary. Unmatched! My wife and I comment often about how every staff member backs up the others like a well trained team. The food is beyond compare. Yes, there is a membership cost for this kind of establishment, and each person must weigh that cost alongside of what they desire in a dining experience, but for my wife and I it is very worth the fee for the exclusivity that The Angler's Club provides.Dietary restrictions: Chef Matt will do his best to meet the dietary needs of members.Parking: Parking is somewhat cramped, but parking anywhere on the square and walking is just fine.Kid-friendliness: Kids are well behaved here. They are welcome, but this is an exclusive dining venue. Members only.Wheelchair accessibility: There is an elevator for upstairs access.

I absolutely love the Angler's Club. The food, drinks, and service are top-notch. The seared scallops were some of the most perfrctly cooked scallops I have had. Perfect sear and not overcooked. The expresso crusted buffalo loin was also amazing. Spot on medium rare cook on it and the coffee paired very well with this game meat. And then there are the drinks. Some of thee most perfrctly crafted cocktails I have had. If you're looking for fine dining in the Villages and know someone with a membership, I highly recommend bugging them to take you.

Service was very good, wait staff only forgetting a few things. Ambiance was okay but chairs were not comfortable and piped in music was too loud. Our meals were overcooked, steaks tough and veggies were either mushy or tough. Very disappointing and pricey for the quality. We had thought about applying to become members but decided against it after our experience here with two other couples. Just FYI, current (2023) membership requires either $200 minimum in purchases per month or a $1000 annual fee that does not apply to purchases.
