I’m especially glad to see you commenting on the noise levels of the places you visit. Too much “modern” restaurant design leads to experiences where you cannot begin to converse with your companions and leave feeling vaguely frantic from the noise overwhelm of thumping music mixed with other patrons’ attempts to shout over it. No thanks. Also, I think dark bathrooms are suspect, not chic. Maybe it’s just me, but I want to be able to really see that it’s clean. Too many sloppy cleaning sins can be hidden in all of that dimly lit black. Maybe I sound 100 years old...but whatever. That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it! 😁
Noise is definitely something that will turn me off of a place!! In addition to what you said, I think it makes the servers’ hard jobs even harder. And I totally agree about dark bathrooms!!
The decor is quite stark!! Thanks for the detailed reviews
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed them!
I can believe it!

I’ve read it’s actually hazardous to the servers’ hearing to be in that environment all the time - as if they don’t have enough to deal with already!
