I love it here, during snowbird season! I love all the hustle and bustle and even the crowds; especially at the squares.
As for restaurants, yes, they are busy between 5:30 & 7:30 most nights. However, I find it a great time to checkin with the hostess and head to the bar. I have met some really nice people, while waiting for a table.
For one, I'm gonna miss the snowbirds, when they head north!
