Maybe it was an off day, but wow, what happened??
Came by recently on a weeknight dinner, and there were cute summer decorations with lanterns. The service was efficient as usual but the overall food and vibe seemed different. The music was uncomfortably loud (from a previously cool level to now club-like) and the yelling/cheering, which used to be fun, was even more forceful to compensate for the amped volume. I could barely hear anyone sitting beside me! We ordered all the old favs but while the menu prices stayed consistent, some plates got much smaller and the ingredient quality dropped a bit as well. My group left less full than expected and with some ringing in our ears, which has never happened before.
It's still a decent spot for group gatherings but probably not a go-to anymore if this keeps up.
