   Fabulous dinner and night out with family. It’s so loud, the only issue, but the table next to us was literally screaming.. but having fun :) Great night, thank you!

   So fun to eat out on a nice weather day! Calamari was delicious as always and the oysters Rockafeller were outstanding!

   Outstanding seafood restaurant. Grilled octopus and cioppino should be regular menu items! Very noisy though. Definitely could use some of those noise dampening panels I see in other places.

   Lovey Valentine’s Day. They managed the reservations well as they were busy but our table was ready for us upon arrival. No chaos, lovely meal!

   Wences is a neighborhood gem - the service is always very good as is the food. It is my favorite place to dine.

   The challenge at Wence's is trying to narrow down what you will order. Drinks were perfect, the wait staff were personable yet efficient, the food was excellent. The tempura green beans came out piping hot, and the mixed seafood plate was so plentiful we didn't have room for dessert, which is really saying something. We got the booth in the back room by the exit which was ideal since it was quieter and the place was full and booming. There was also live music which was lovely. Parking is a real challenge but worth it.

    I would not describe the noise level as energetic. It was LOUD. My wife and I had a hard time hearing each other and we were next to each other. It also made it hard to hear the server. Anyway... We asked if they could make a dish low sodium and the server said yes. We ordered our meal and it came tasting anything else but low sodium. I ordered the Grilled Seafood plate but the frozen shrimp they use must be processed with a lot of salt. The manager came by and asked how was our meal and I told him that I would just eat half but he insisted on doing it again and I requested the caper/lemon sauce on the side. Much better. Our server, Hanna, could not have been better. It took a while for us to try to figure out what would be easiest to prepare in a low sodium way and she came back several times with a smile on her face. She was so patient and kind. It was really nice. They had a guitarist come in and play and I thought he did a great job alternating between Spanish Classical to Ed Sheeran. Nice overall experience but it's WAY too loud. I hope they look into the acoustics and see if they can dampen the noise some.
