New in The Villages: LUXE Steakhouse and Cellar

THE VILLAGES, FL — LUXE Steakhouse and Cellar, a new reservation-only concept from RGM Restaurants, is targeting an opening by the end of September at 1488 Craig Ct, The Villages, FL 34762, owner Jack Suleiman told Business Debut in a recent phone interview.

The 5,500-square-foot restaurant will seat about 200 guests and sit on the Woodlands Country Club golf course. LUXE is designed as a higher-end, exclusive option within the restaurant group’s portfolio, which includes other local restaurants Red Sauce, Mallory Hill Country Club, and Glenview Country Club.

What to Expect

Suleiman said LUXE will operate with a reservation-only model and will cap the number of reservations accepted each day. He told Business Debut the goal is to give guests a relaxed, unhurried experience with attentive service.

The space will feature an open-concept bar with large sliding windows. The bar will serve both indoor and outdoor seating and offer direct views of the golf course.

Menu and Vision

Steaks will anchor the menu, supported by seafood and chicken dishes. He said RGM Restaurants is sourcing beef from Meats by Linz, a private, family-owned supplier in the Indianapolis area. They will be providing wagyu, dry-aged cuts and prime steaks that Suleiman described as the best he has tried.

Opening Timeline

Construction is underway at the Woodlands Country Club location. Suleiman said contractors estimated six to eight weeks of work remaining as of mid-August, and he is targeting an opening by the end of September.

An exact opening date is to be announced. Suleiman said updates will be shared as the project progresses.

Hours

LUXE plans to open daily for lunch and dinner, Suleiman told Business Debut. Lunch service is planned from 11 a.m. — 3:30 p.m.

The restaurant will close from 3:30 p.m. — 4 p.m. for dinner prep, then reopen from 4 p.m. — 10 p.m. seven days a week, Suleiman said.
