I will second that. Went to Grand Oaks for lunch a few days ago. We were seated on the veranda. Tables were at least 8 to 10 feet apart. Staff was masked. Food was great! We will be returning!

No issues with the restaurant
Have issues with people not obeying simple directions to avoid spreading a highly contagious disease to others

Fines will belevied and businesses shut down if social distancing isnt enforced. If a business isnt complying, them dont go there. Simple enough. Theres hundreds of restaurants around. I doubt youll starve

I agree. Too Jays is being very cautious. All masked, gloves and spacing.
And my lunch was delicious.

My wife and I were going to Amerikanos yesterday but the people were jammed together at the outside bar (despite DeSantis' order) so we skipped it and went to World Of Beer. Nicely spaced with masks on all servers.

He has 7 restaurants because he was smart, took a great risk, worked hard and had success. That success provided dozens of jobs, and opportunity for many others working for him. He then risked it all again and grew, creating even more jobs and providing a good time and experience for his customers who must have liked his establishments or there would not be 7 now. This is America, this is why we have been the most successful country in the world. This is capitalism. This is not socialism. You may be jealous of his success (how much is enough) but thank God, most Americans want to see a growing thriving economy that benefits all. I applaud every successful businessman. Keep growing and bringing more opportunity to our country.

I disagree. Blue Fin has continuously followed the guidelines. I was there yesterday and there were no bar stools around the bar. The same with City Fire. Everytime they received guidance from the State, they have followed the guidance. I am so glad that you have time to ride around and bash establishments in our community without knowing all of the facts

Not the point .....because of owners like this, that we will and have started to close back up.....if these owners enforced the guidelines they all will be able to stay open.....not and they will start closing again

And this statement has what to do with following the guidelines

It doesn't matter if I or anyone else doesn't like it. What matters to me is that someone there is enjoying their right to socialize without the establishment offering some sort of spacing and selfish people not thinking of others. So, one person could pass it on to another person, unmasked, then they go to publix where I buy my groceries. Putting all of us at risk. Yes, you may have a right not to wear a mask but I also have a right to have a safe place to go without having uncaring others nearby. So, it's more of an idea of thinking of others before yourself. A simple concept.

Such a simple concept. Why is there any dispute?

You have hit the nail on the head. Thank you.

Rosebud1949 06-27-2020 07:29 AM

Well I totally agree. Sadly caring about "others" does not seem priority these days. If you wear a mask you can go out and be -80 to 90% safe. Without one you are a 100% risk to all, and easily pass on any virus you "may" have.

Huh? I read an article that said they were filing bankruptcy... so are they bankrupt or not?

That has been my attitude all along.
We are NEVER going to be able prevent people from getting sick. Yes. Our age group is at risk, however if you are healthy you should be able to fight it odd. I believe , because of past experiences with other disease ,This happening now will Lessen the fall 2nd wave
So if you don’t feel safe don’t go. Just stop acting like sheep.
