We luckily sat in the room that is more of a porch, so the noise level was bearable. I would never want to sit in the other dining rooms - noise is ridiculous. The restaurant should add heavy curtains in between rooms to help with the noise. It was unpleasant just having to walk through there. Also there are just way too many tables smashed in there.

Overall a great meal and experience, even though we were there on a very busy Memorial day weekend. Food was great. Grilled calimari was excellent. Clam/corn chowder was wondeful. Not the typical heavy cream but a fantastic lighter base full of clams and corn. Flounder Francais was wonderful as was the pasta special. Friendly service despite the crowds. Staff was really working diligently.

Everything was wonderful from food to service! All our food was outstanding! Only slight issue we had were where our table was it was really tight between two other tables. We had to bother & work with both tables to get in and out. Otherwise, great experience!
