There's a big difference between having relaxing cocktail piano or other low-key instrumentals playing in the bar or off to the side, and having singing waiters belting out Oklahoma and Mame type show tunes.

Plus, throughout this thread and the others, people have said time after time that they would like to have the Lopez type dining and ambience here in this part of TV near Havana, where we are 11 miles from Nancy Lopez CC and 5 miles from Arnold Palmer, and those and the clubs like Cane and Mallory are packed with people from their own surrounding neighborhoods. People living right around Havana would like to pack IT too, but not if the atmosphere is aggravating and the food/service is bad like it's been.

Hopefully the new management is taking these things into account.
Agree 100%. We went once, and attempted to yell across the table. A dozen or so of our friends have been since the singing waiters began, and none went back a second time because of the noise level. A few people may like them once as a novelty, but I think the owners know that very, very few will like to return on a regular basis. We thought they were very talented, but we prefer to be able to speak to the others in our party when we eat out. There is certainly no shortage of loud music in various eating establishments in The Villages!
