Saturday night and only a half filled restaurant. Horray, we will enjoy this.
Not so. The greeting was friendly and we got a seat outside. The noise level was totally overbearing. I walked around among the half empty tables but the speakers were all well placed to destroy any attempt at talking to your fellow guest.
I asked if the sound could be turned down a notch. The waitress went to ask the manager and came back in a few sec: "He said NO, the sound cannot be altered."
We should have left.
We were then offered a seat at the very back, slightly less noisy.
But now we were out of sight and out of mind of all.
It became a long dinner even though the service was very friendly. The food? Totally average, absolutely nothing to come back for.
Several members of my family have been Fran's guest for over 50 years but but it's really time to look elsewhere now.
