Bonefish Grill is one of the few restaurants that I've found where the patrons aren't bombarded with loud music. Even the shop where I have my hair cut has rock music booming.

Pasta Faire in Belleview used to have wonderful, semi-classical music playing softly in the background....it was so enjoyable to have a meal there. We haven't been there in a while so I don't know if that has changed or not. I hope not. It just doesn't seem to matter these days what kinds of businesses we are patronizing, "ear abuse" is all around us. It would be nice one day to have loud noise go the way of cigarette smoke. I don't smoke and I do not like being subjected to smoke, even outside. But, that said, I realize that smokers need some place to keep puffing away until they can deal with their addiction. Give me a choice! Pipe the loud rock music outside and those who like abusing their ears can go out there! Until I DO have a choice I will give my money to businesses who care about my serenity and enjoyable experience while in their establishments. I agree wholeheartedly about the radios in golf carts....I just don't understand the need to have music blaring 24/7? As for me, I don't want to miss the whistle of the cardinal as he prepares to dart across the cart path. It is my signal to watch for the flash of red that is coming! And, if I had a radio sitting on the dash of my golf cart I might surely miss the pair of sandhill cranes in the fairway just off to my left. Their call is unmistakable and so unique. The only distractions I want are the natural ones that I moved here to listen to. Otherwise, if I have to be subjected to music just keep it enjoyable and low. The people who feel they HAVE to have a radio going right next to others at the pools are just plain inconsiderate. No place is safe from noise pollution.
