The food was terrific, and the server was fabulous. I was glad we got there early (5 PM) because by 6:30 we could barely hear ourselves talk. The music was too loud and the interior acoustics did basically nothing to muffle the sounds of other people talking and being served. No one was talking excessively loud, so it clearly was the volume of the music and the poor acoustics in the dining room. But again, the server was fabulous, and the food was really wonderful.
