    I had a great lunch with a best friend, & we enjoyed fantastic service & really good food. We were in the atrium (that’s what was available when I made the reservation 2 weeks ago), & it was very loud in there. That said, 6-8 men were seated at the large table next to us, & they had loud voices, & drowned out the sound of any of the other tables, so perhaps it was just the dynamics of that situation. It might not be so noisy in that room on any other day.
