Wife loves eating outside. I am a bug magnet so I hate eating outside. Something to do with my blood type I think. We compromise but I usually try to eat inside.

Me too!

The smokers ruin it for the rest of us.

I am astonished smoking in outside eating areas of restaurants is still allowed in Florida!

I experienced it at the CCs, cigars as well as cigarettes. Phew!

Cigarette and cigar smoke bother me too quite a bit but it is mostly the bugs that draw me inside.

Remember my nephew eating a sandwich on the Fred Howard Park Beach in Tarpon Springs and a seagull swooped down and took it right out of hand. Then that got the rest of them looking for an easy meal. Pinellas County, Florida, Park & Conservation Resources - Fred Howard Park

How is it that folks who are bothered by smokers on an outdoor/sidewalk dining area are not bothered by auto emissions from cars going by?

Ramshackle on 441 down that way towards Leesburg? Great food but we had to what we call Chew and Screw because of the fumes. Holy Mackerel Andy, and the place is always jammed. Go figure.

I love eating outdoors unless it's buggy and muggy

If there was no such thing as a/c the only things living' in Fl would be gators and the Seminoles

Usually we're coming into dine after a very hot round of golf and then the A/C is most appreciated.
As far as enclosing the lanai, we did because of cushioned furniture and frequent afternoon rain showers. Got sick of moving furniture all the time to keep it dry.

As i tell the wife...who loves eating outdoors...if i wanted to eat outdoors,Id join the Army.

As far as smokers are concerned....no reason to smoke around other diners. But, i do have a friend who just hates smoke...to the point he complains about the smell from smokers who arent even smoking...as he says.."i can still smell it"...then i ask him how did he like the smells,for his 30 plus year career, commuting on the nyc subways. He doesnt reply.

Some people truly exxagerate the smell of smoke.

Is the out door dining area considered part of the restaurant?

Out doors is for smoking. So, I seldom eat outdoors
