When it comes to active-adult communities in Central Florida, none are bigger or more stocked with diverse dining options than The Villages. While many 55+ communities in the area have cafes or snack bars in their clubhouses or full-service restaurants at their golf clubs, The Villages has more than 60 eateries on site.
Among them, the Lighthouse Point Bar and Grille is one of the most popular dining destinations, appreciated by residents and visitors alike. Serving lunch and dinner daily, this is first and foremost a seafood restaurant, though there are other options to satisfy patrons looking for something else. The gorgeous waterfront views greatly enhance the dining experience here.
Some Recommended Food
For appetizers, try the quahog clams with chorizo, peppers, and onions; the boom-boom shrimp; or the haddock avocado tostada. For entrees, try the truffled lobster mac and cheese, the crab cakes with roasted red pepper remoulade and cold bean salad, or the ribeye steak with garlic mashed potatoes and sauteed haricot verts.
The scallop salad over spring mix with citrus, avocado, fried wonton strips, and peach ginger dressing is a delicious, creative lighter, healthy option. If it's a sandwich you're after, the seafood roll or the strawberry-glazed chicken breast with goat cheese on rosemary bread are rewarding picks.
These are all good selections from the regular menu, but don't overlook the day's specials. There's always something worth trying.
