Actually I question the need for the renovation. The acoustics are beer hall loud and add the ability to seat large groups...total distraction. We were surrounded by a group of 16 and 10 respectively. The hostess contented she was unaware of such a large group scheduled for lunch....hello, the tables were joined and set for a large gathering. We found this disingenuous. The food was average, not the great fare of the pre renovation. Apparently a waste of resources with an inferior outcome. You must like loud to sit on the second level....
