not reading it all, just saying I went there recently. the food and service were lacking. why can't people run a decent restaurant?

Went to Friday's in September---true the music was loud and difficult to have table conversation. As I remember the service and food was okay.

A night or two later we went to Bonifay and the noise level there was high just from the customers. It seemed that everybody was trying to "out talk" the other person in the rather large group near by. Thinking about this----actually its difficult to find a reasonably quite place at any of the busy restaurants in TV. I guess that is just the nature of going out to eat in TV.

The Country Club Restaurants in TV have universally very poor sound management. Bonifay seems to my sensitive ears to be the worst and actually limits our desire to visit.

And a lot of folks with hearing loss.........................

I wonder why all the complaints are from south of 466? its rare to hear a complaint from Spanish springs. it might be the folks down there are a tad younger than north of 466.

It has been my observation that this brd is dominated by the south of 466 crew. A lot of them (IMO) only seem to be vaguely aware of the existence of TV in the northern hinterlands .... and the historic side is not even a thought.

I do agree that the demographics north of 466 are older.

As for TGI Fridays .... I never darkened the door of the LSL one. In fact I have not been to one of their locations in 20 years plus. The never out grew the "fern bar" thing.

Smoke what !!!!!

Reading comprehension probs?

Yes it is closing and I hear the owner's of Evan's Prairie will be moving into this space and opening it up as a steak house.....

Margarita Republic is definitely loud. McCalls, especially on Blues and Boogies night, extremely loud. Doesn't get much louder than Katie Belles, especially on the weekends. But, it's all good to me. Just living the dream and enjoying life while I still can !!

Smokey Bones would be good!

Sorry to hear it. Hope new owner does well there. Maybe turning the music down a bit might help bring in more people.

Wow....great idea! Now we can only hope a good sit down Chinese restaurant will also come to the Villages. Bamboo Bistro is very good but far. We need one down here near LSL and Brownwood.

It's amazing the Fridays closed and Tierra Del Sol is still there with the BAD attitude toward the customers.
