We've been regulars for years. We were fond of the place and of the staff. It was a great neighborhood gem. And then it was "discovered."
The scene on a recent Friday night included a live band with amps cranked to stadium level. It's been difficult enough to hold a conversation on a regular night due to the noise level. The music might have been decent, but who could tell as nothing, and I mean NOTHING, except for the table of screeching drunks, was audible over the drums.
Add in the smirking creepy old guy groping his very young female escort (crotch-length skin-tight dress) - well, you get the picture. This is okay for a bar or club, but not a white tablecloth restaurant.
The food is good, but not good enough to counterbalance the noise and the raucous crowds. Also, reservation times are not honored (add 15-30min). We're giving up on this one.
