    Georgia on My Mind -- 5 Stars…read more Great service and a fun group lunch at Sawgrass Tavern On Sunday, September 6, my golf group and I -- sixteen people total -- had lunch at Sawgrass Tavern in The Villages after our round. From the moment we walked in, our server Georgia set the tone for a fantastic experience. She recognized me right away, greeted us warmly, and handled our large group with absolute professionalism and a great sense of humor. Georgia knew the menu well and managed our separate checks effortlessly. She assigned numbers to each couple (and to the two solo diners) to keep everything organized, and her service was excellent from start to finish. For lunch, I ordered the shepherd's pie, while my spouse chose the Bratwurst sandwich. The shepherd's pie was delicious -- a hearty mix of ground lamb and beef, corn, carrots, onions, peas, mashed potatoes, and gravy. The Bratwurst was served with sauerkraut and spicy brown mustard and was equally enjoyed. Even though it had been a few months since our last visit, Georgia remembered that I always mix hot sauce with ketchup for my fries. She brought a bottle of Cholula to the table, even though I had my own Barbados hot sauce with me that day. One of our golfers happily used the Cholula, so nothing went to waste. Throughout the meal, Georgia checked on us frequently, making sure drinks stayed full and everyone had what they needed. As we were finishing up, she brought over two managers -- one at a time -- and introduced them to me, likely because I organize our Sunday golf group. It was a thoughtful touch that made the experience feel even more personal. We often rotate restaurants after golf to enjoy different cuisines, but Sawgrass Tavern continues to stand out. The group enjoyed their meals, the service was outstanding, and we're only about 15 minutes away by golf cart when playing the nearby Championship course. I told one of the managers we'll definitely be back. Sawgrass Tavern remains a favorite stop for our Sunday golf group -- great food, great atmosphere, and truly exceptional service from Georgia.

    I am a little disheartened... in the beginning, I was highly impressed with the place, with the…read morefancy appearance and with the menu options, especially the Salmon Wellington, or the authentic shepherd's pie. Both looked like nice options. Unfortunately I saw a sign in the front that recommended the Wednesday special for 34.99 of a porterhouse. That's where things went south. I jumped on the opportunity of grabbing a good steak, requesting medium rare - as in red and bleeding in the middle. (Those were my actual instructions to cooking this steak) I received a cut of porterhouse so thin it looked like a slice out of a Cuban pan con bistec. The steak was cooked to well done, not a hint of redness left even if you looked at it with a magnifying glass. And on the single bite I took out of it, bland and tasteless as it were, it actually took me over a minute to chew it down. It was also definitely NOT a cut worth 34.99. I was about to cancel my order but gave the menu a second shot. I got a decent NY Strip cooked to a medium rare this time but even that piece, although well marbled, was not a piece that wowed me, honestly. I am not even going to mention the sides because they were not impressive. The only decent thing I've seen there was a pea casserole. My husband's craving for fish and chips was the reason we went there to begin with, and his order came a little too overcooked as well, the fried fish being dryer and darker than the usual fish and chips we are used to. We also ordered the Irish cream bread pudding for dessert, which I was also looking forward to, and it was more so a raisin muffin than what I originally expected. It wasn't as soft and moist as the dish is supposed to be, and worse than that, the only "Irish cream" part to it was a shallow cream reduction that surrounded the muffin with a VERY mild Irish cream flavor. What really saddens me about the experience is that I had very high expectations just from the vibe of the place and the menu options. Also, our waiter was very sweet and the shift manager immediately took over when he noticed my dissatisfaction with the initial dish, which I appreciated. I'd have expected an establishment with this level of appearance, location, and service, to serve better quality food. Customer service = good Atmosphere. = good Food quality. = left much to be desired Bang for your buck = felt too pricey for what I actually got. All that being said the presentation of the food looked good, if only the taste matched the appearance.
