Paulie's Oaks on 44 Restaurant & Lounge

Nasty GM. Food is mediocre but the deserts are delicious. The staff is friendly and personable but the GM doesn't know how to show empathy towards her customers....We not go back. Too many better choices to go to. They also charge you a fee to use your credit card to pay for your meal.

Our first time there and definitly will not be our last. Our waiter, David, was very efficient and made us feel right at home. The food was wonderful and ample, and the ambiance was very upscale. I met the owner, Paulie, in Walmart while he was shopping for bananas for the banana creame pie. We had a slice for desert and I guarantee you will love it. Thanks Paulie for a great dinning experience.

Dined at this restaurant on April 4, 2025 for dinner. We spent over $500 (including tip) and were disappointed in the food. My sister and I had the grouper plate & it was fishy and sooo salty, it was as if the fish was not fresh but frozen a long time. My husband had the duck, and it was overcooked and dry. The best part of our evening was our waiter Gunther, who was attentive, pleasant and efficient.

Great meal
Great taste

Lovely dinner house with a variety of entrees. The fish was excellent. With a great light sauce.

We dined there Tuesday evening and from start to finish, everything was exceptional! We so appreciated the servers dressed in shirt and tie and the linen tablecloths. Fine dining on a retirement budget! Our server was Gerhardt and he was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The food was delicious. There were four of us. Two got the roast beef special and two got the Angelina Fish special. We took advantage of those two specials that night which included a salad, a glass of wine, a very good portion for dinner of entree and vegetables and dessert, which was some of the best cheesecake we’ve ever had. Our glasses of water never ran out as the girl pouring the water made rounds often. The ambiance was cozy and calming, not crazy noisy like so many of the country clubs in the Villages. Would love to come back when the piano player is playing. We were all very pleasantly surprised and will be back soon. Thank you!

Food is excellent and a wonderful dinner experience. Miraya was an awesome server as well!

Went with a large group and we sat outside in the screened in area. They handled the large group with no problems. The food was very good and the portions were a nice size. Look forward to going back.

I went there today for lunch with 4 friends. Our server, Emma, was excellent. Very accommodating and personable. We all enjoyed our lunch. The topper was the desserts. Omg! I had the butter toffee Bundt cake. It was amazing! We are all looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!
