Default A bugs life

We have been to Eaton's Beach about 4 times now. We ate outside twice and the last time it was duck and the bugs were terrible. So, went again about 3 weeks ago and were seated inside. It was dark out. The lights had attracted the bugs prior to the doors being closed so there were just swarms of bugs around the lights. As we sat at the table getting our drinks, we noticed the bugs kept flying down on our table. We were killing them the best we could as they landed. Then our meals came, and the bugs were literally falling from the lights onto our plates. It got so bad that the bugs overpowered our plates and we could not eat our meals. The bugs were the worst for two of us....must be we were seated directly under the lights. There were 6 in our party. I called the manager over to explain that the bugs had overtaken our meals and she apologized and took my meal off the bill. My friend who was sitting next to me didn't have her meal taken off. I encouraged her to speak up and she declined. The manager said they were getting screens for the large doors to help with the bugs. Service was very poor as well. Server didn't check back with us but once a while after we got our meals. We haven't been back since. Probably won't return.
