    Noise Level - Loud. Typically not this challenging. Party of 4 dominated the Dining Room. Parties requested to be moved. Kind reminders could not control the noise level. Guests were not considerate of others. Patti worked with what she had - thank you. Hard to change people when they do not care about others in their environment. Front of the House - On to a positive note - Fantastic!!! Patti and Butch. Professional and helpful. Wait Staff - Lauren - professional; helpful; attentive; and engaging. Another positive Star in the Atlas Restaurant Group galaxy. Meal - Maryland crab soup - bowl. Wonderful! Seasoned. Visible pieces of crab meat. Solid mixture of crab meat and vegetables. Shrimp cocktail. Solid lunch time selections. Food expeditors - Helpful; polite; and engaging. Orders are accurate and delivery is flawless.
