Loud!! Lively and upbeat atmosphere, but very loud. The corned beef sandwich was very good - excellent bread and hot mustard with crunchy, tangy sauerkraut. My lunch companions had the burger, the steak frites and the pickerel and all were pronounced very good. Service was efficient and pleasant. Judging from how busy the place was, I would definitely suggest making reservations. This visit was for a business lunch, but I think it would be a much better place for drinks after work.
