No roll, no fries. Seriously. Since they brought in a new manager, new bartenders and a new chef, the food is much better, service is much better and the happy hour is until 6pm . I was a loyal customer for years, and I am very glad they have turned things around.

Very hard to believe

I agree with you about everything, but NEVER noticed a "Battleax Hostess".

I would agree on the food is better but was there for lunch Wednesday and the service was not very good.

Yes most of us know how good Cane used to be and how far they have fallen in the past couple of years.

Can only hope it is true.

Why don't you go there and try it out..

The Country Clubs are owned by the developer and his sister, there may new MANAGER’S, but not new OWNERS !

Out of curiosity is not the sister the developer also and by the way did we throw the other sister under the bus ?

What I would like to know is IF Cane Garden is for sale & some of the newer residents may not know it but why have any business in TV selling or just closing their doors. Katie Belles closes, & one of the Too Jays closed their doors. Don’t understand, can’t they keep up with their bills or is business just that slow. I’m sure there’s others!

I have never known a business to close if it is making a good profit, unless it was to move to bigger and better premises, or the owner sold it to take the profit, retired or died.
No profit, no business, unless run by Government!

In The Villages good news travels fast. But for those not being careful, bad news travels even faster.

If you read the health dept visits to restaurants you would never eat out again. Just remember, roaches are not a sign of a dirty kitchen. Most of the time they come in on the bottoms of boxes from food deliveries. I did not remember Cane being closed by the Health Dept.

OK, I agree with you but Katie Belle’s or Too Jay’s in Sumter moves to a bigger & better premises. That’s not the case here. But as a past business owner myself I know nobody would buy a losing business property, but if you can show them a profit & they are in the market buy a business or have a great location. That’s when you want to sell. Not here to argue or put TV or a business down just wondering why they’re selling. There is a reason!

PLEASE, research before you post. The buildings are owned by the Development business entity. They are leased out just like countless thousands of buildings across this country. They are not directly owned by Mr. Morse nor his sister.

The buildings are owned by the developer, not the business, private business people own the business, not managers...
