While I’m a music lover, dinner is a time to visit with your dinner companions. Live music during dinner hour is just frustrating because you are literally screaming at the person across from and/or right beside you . We asked to move tables away from the live music and very much appreciated it. But still way too loud to comfortably converse. Maybe reserve live music for happy hour…NOT regular dinner service. We also noticed several other diners who seems to be annoyed by it. BUT WE ALWAYS LOGE THE FOOD.
