Only posted an opinion, did not intend to offend anyone. FYI I do go to SS as I live here. I still feel that the rec dept has given us (above 466) the short end of the stick for quality entertainment at the square and KB.

IMHO the next place to"bite the dust"will be Codys at LSL.Had the unfortunate experince of"dining??"there last week.My wifes stuffed flounder was stuffed with what resembled wall paper paste,our friends Roast Beef sandwich had a roll that was so stale you could have used it to chock the wheel on your golf cart and the meat could have been used to patch a flat tire.My meal was passable at best.We voiced our displeasure to our server(who was the only bright spot in our one and only visit),and she sent ovger a manager who asked us what the problem was and did offer us a replacement meal.By that time our stomachs were in no mood for any thing else,so she said sorry about that and strolled away.I will usually give places another chance but the general attitude of the managment has totally turned us off.

Bargee, we had a similar experience. We took my brother and his family there and had 9 lousy meals. Like you , the bright spot was our nice server who without our asking, sent the manager to our table because she was upset with what she had to place in front of us....it looked almost as bad as it tasted.

The manager finally ambled over, circled our table and then finally asked if everything was OK. When I answered "not really", he replied, "OH", and then turned around and left!

I believe in giving restaurants a second chance, but we have never been back....too many other choices.

I hate the title of this thread and I will defend SS. It is my square. A lot has changed since I moved here back in 2001 and it has all been for the better - except the lost of Augustine.

I look at the monthly flyer and see that both LSL and SS use the same entertainers so I do not know what the problem with quality entertainment is.

I have always found the entertainment in SS to be satisfactory. I do not like Katie Belle's for lunch as it is too loud. I like Cattle Baron's for dinner but I have yet to figure out the proper way to get the better seats in the balcony area. Even with reservations I end up in the "can't see the entertainer" seats.

I have only been to LSL once for the entertainment. The one hour happy hour was a turnoff.

I prefer SS but that is my personal opinion. Parking is better and closer. I have not really found a restaurant in LSL that I like. Sonny's is the only one I frequent. I am 5 miles by cart from both squares so it is not a distance thing.

I just prefer SS.

It looks to me like Cody's will be around for awhile. Went there last night and there was a 45 minute wait for a table. Fagetaboutit!!. We went to Sonny's, which I think is great, and were seated right away.

I agree 100%. I just noticed today, 28-Feb-2010, that Rocky and the Rollers will be at SS tonite. The same entertainers at Katie Bell's appear at both squares frequently.
