East Towne Center — Local services in Minneola

I've shopped at Publix ever since I can remember (started going with my mom when I was a kid). Shopping here has become quite disappointing. I understand Covid has caused ingredient & supply shortages. However, when you have everything necessary to make a weekly sale item, such as in the meat dept, and it's never in the case when I shop (true story), it's very frustrating. I don't always have 15-20mins to wait for you to make it, and I shouldn't have to either. Either advertise that you don't keep weekly ad items on the shelf bc they aren't made regularly (not bc you don't have the ingredients, bc you do) or tell Corporate to change your specific ad. Publix has created these expectations and should either live up to them, or change their approach. People pay more to shop at Publix bc it's supposed to be a pleasure & bc you have staff on the floor to assist customers. It's not worth it when you don't have what customers expect. One last comment, unrelated to the above. Lori the Deli Mgr is NOT friendly. She needs some coaching & an attitude adjustment. I don't expect attitude when I didn't start with any when inquiring about an item. I understand times are tough, and that's not my fault. Why shop here when I can get treated like that anywhere and at least pay...

Dining tonight was a disappointment. First, the wait staff was excellent, very friendly and attentive. When our food came out it was one meal at a time with easily a couple of minutes between each meal. Ours was a party of four, three people each had a different daily special, all were disappointed. I ordered off the regular menu and also was disappointed. Everyone agreed that the food wasn't as good as we remembered. The calimari appetizer was excellent. I don't mean to be petty but being charged $1 for ice in a drink ordered on the rocks always rubs me...

This place is great. We sat at the bar and ordered calamari as a apprised and I had calzone while my wife had stromboli. They have a full bar and an assortment of beers. The service was excellent and everything was served in a timely manner. I have eaten here previously and had their pizza. It would also great. I will return to eat here again and would recommend this establishment to anyone...
