"Loved the lamb chops and gardenia salad, and my friend had good words for the moist grilled salmon, but the noise level ruined our enjoyment of the food and the beautiful interior of the place. We thought that by eating early our reservation was for 6:30 pm we would avoid the noisiest time. That probably would have worked, but unluckily for us, a birthday party for 10 of the loudest young women I have ever heard commenced at the next table shortly after we arrived. We had to shout at the top of our lungs to hear each other. I would like to try again when it's quiet, but how is one to know when a birthday party will show up?"
