Occasionally a restaurant grows to tramscend the limits of it's commercial, programmed fare and ambience, or lack thereof, as the case may be. Such has long been the case with this Perkins, to which Lady Lake and Villages residents can attest.
This restaurant has long been noteworthy for both it's stellar service AND it's expertly prepared and VERY tasty menu offerings.
Perkins Restaurants offer mostly home style cooking pared with more typical commercial offerings. Breakfast could be considered a specialty, and the many choices are tasty and interesting. Baked pies, cookies, select pastries and jumbo muffins are available while you dine or to carry home.
For the last several years, both service and food at this location have been exceptional. Both, alas, have suffered somewhat in recent months. Not to the extent that I can no longer recommend this place. In fact, if you aren't a regular patron, you might easily decide that everything is running as it should. Service is still quite good, and the food is not awful.
Neither is what it was just a few months ago, however. There are noteable faces missing, and clearly there are new servers and kitchen staff... perhaps with a few small kinks still to smooth out.
The staff seems motivated to reachieve greatness. I wish them success. This Perkins was a local gem. It's not all that far, really from being such again.
Thus, I shall continue to patronise this location, anticipating a rapid return to the stellar level of service and quality of fare to which this eccellent breakfast/dinner restaurant has long left me feeling accustomed.
