We have had the same experience at several nice restaurants in The Villages. Often the performers are mediocre, yet insist on the use of amplifiers at small indoor spaces.
It’s a waste of owners’ money and bad for business.

Yet they survive in spite of. I stand to be corrected but I believe no TV restaurant has ever closed because of the volume of its performers or music offerings. OP said food and service was good which will always be the standard for sustainability. 15% off coupons....a close second!

Wouldn't that be considered a "snide remark"?

AC/DC... A band with 11 albums that all sound the same...

Perfect metaphor to describe TV restaurant scene. No?!

One thing I’ve learned since moving to the villages is old people will find anything to complain about. If these are the golden years, I’ll take silver or even bronze.

Some of us would rather not have loud music that we are prisoners of.

Then why go to a hotel restaurant called Kitchen AND BAR. The use of fine dining throughout this thread is excessive since this is NOT a fine dining place. And the complaints are ridiculous. The food was great the service was great but I’m never going back because the music was too loud. Hahahaha. and took the time to make a post about it. I’m actually going to make a point to eat there now.

Restaurants are not nightclubs. I am not old and listen to loud music all the time. I am not saying no music, but appropriate music that allows for conversation over a good meal. I believe Olive Garden has got that right and eat there often for that sole reason. Is it the best Italian food? No. But I can enjoy it with a glass of wine and classy music at a reasonable volume in every one of their locations.

On a related note, even music listened to at low volumes for long periods of time fatigues the ears. Additionally, the latest wireless noise-cancelling technology is causing tinnitus (even in young people) when the headphones are left in the ears for long periods of time. This is true even when there is nothing playing.

Happy 5th of July. I call it the Day After Independence Day.
