We arrived shortly after the restaurant opened—it was a much more pleasant experience than the last time. The acoustics in this restaurant are a bit off. Our last visit we could not hear the people at our table. The background noise coupled with an enthusiastic crowd did us in. We came for the food and boy was it good! I hope when the “new” side opens it will be more comfortable.
