Occasionally when we go out to eat, we get a fly at our table. We only eat inside because we like the comfort of the A/C. I try to explain to my wife that this is the fly that is assigned to our table. I did manage to kill the fly one time and many came to its funeral.

So not I just live with the occasional fly.

It's called "nature".
Ahh; fish flies. You must have lived on the eastside.

We were there this weekend and sat at a booth near the front entrance door - Shared our salad with the flies - They should give you a fly swatter when you walk in - Too bad: nice place - please post when they figure out they have a problem -

Life must be pretty good when all you have to do is complain about complainers! Sorry, but it always seems that someone is trying to trivialize someone else's problem. Flies all around while eating sounds like a legitimate problem.

This fly problem is real and not just an occasional fly. Let me just say that there have been a significant unusual amount of flies at Bonifay. When we were there in January it was chilly outside and the flies were there. This is a serious problem for a food establishment. One can make light of this problem, but Bonifay is such a beautiful place with tremendous potential I hate to see it tarnished by a fly issue.

I can deal with the flies but when the love bugs were there I didn't like that at all.

We ate breakfast there this a.m. And wanted to sit outside but the table they tried to seat us at was full of flies and so we opted to sit inside. What a shame
, it was a nice morning & we would have loved to sit outside. Breakfast was great for the .$ .

Love bugs are a seasonal thing that no one can control. Flies can be controlled. It is a shame Bonifay has not found a way to control them.

Have you tried sitting at their outdoor bar and enjoying one of their drink specialties? Impossible to enjoy with all the flies. It is such a nice location that I really hated going indoors but am not going to sit at the bar and have flies crawl on the rim of my glass.

I cover the top of my drink glass with a napkin between sips. I'm not sitting inside. I swatted one the other day and someone at the bar said hey don't do that. So I sit there with the flies. Like i said them I can deal with I hate love bug time.
