I recently met some friends at Robbie Fox's and thoroughly enjoyed it. Ok, the wedge salad wasn't really a "salad" but actually just a wedge of iceberg lettuce which made it a little hard to eat, but the environment was great, server was super nice and paid just enough attention, great selection of food and drinks - and wine! - and we had a great time.
Until the band started. They were good, but we were sitting behind the speakers and it was SO LOUD it was actually painful for us. The volume immediately halted all conversation- even attempts at conversation - and it physically hurt so much we were forced to leave right away, effectively killing our evening. We probably would have stayed and had another bottle of wine if not for the band's volume. I'm all for good live music, but I prefer to leave with my eardrums intact.
And hey guys? When you *are a good band, you don't need to be quite that loud. They would have been good to hear for a while, if we could still hear at all.
So yes, I'll definitely go again but I'll plan to end my time there before 10pm.
