While people may be seated who wear jeans or shorts or even caps, if you are going to one of the best restaurants in The Villages, why not dress up and show your respect for your date and for yourself and for the restaurant? When I have a date at a fancier restaurant, I wear dress slacks, a dress shirt, and a sport coat. In my experience, women appreciate a man who dresses well for an evening out and shows politeness and has good table manners. (If you are going to, say, Chili’s or TwoJay’s or something like that, wear whatever you like, and if you are going to listen to music or dance at a town square, dress for the weather.) If you are going to a symphony concert at The Sharon, dress up. If you are going to a rock concert, dress appropriately for a rock concert.

I agree. You’re embarrassing yourself. TAKE YOUR HAT OFF!

Yes, like on boats they prefer people not to scuff up the surface.

Right! You also have the right to be rude or stink.

Because some people are ashamed of their hair line. It’s like some people are ashamed of their receding gums etc and grow facial hair. Women get implants etc. I think we should accept their fears.

As a result I never leave my house without a cap. Not going to be out in the sun from car to restaurant without covering my head. As a result wear I go my cap goes.

Sorry if that disturbs anyone but not going to change this. Do not think your food will taste any different with me wearing a cap.
Why can’t you remove your cap once inside the restaurant?

If area restaurants have a dress code, you can find them by typing in the words "dress code" in Section 4c of The Villages Gourmet Club's Search Page, then hit SEARCH. Looks like they have info on 13 area restaurants.

Hope this helps.

Wrong require non-marking court shoes.

Wearing a hat indoors, is just simple poor manners. If you choose to display ignorance of good manners, you're surely welcome to do that. If you're sitting at a restaurant and see folks pointing at you, there's your 1st guess as to why they're pointing.
I was always taught that "pointing at people" was "poor manners"...

Agreed... It used to be the norm for men to wear hats, and that wearing them inside was frowned upon...

JFK changed that, as he almost never wore a hat. The milliners took a bigh hit...

Just happened across this Ken Jennings podcast on the subject. Hat Etiquette (Entry 571.1C1104) — Omnibus JFK was brought up.
