"This place is now LOUD on Fridays Saturdays, according to our server (who was excellent . We had a 7pm Saturday reservation “away from the door”. We were escorted to a perfect corner table with a “reserved” sign on it. Wonderful. But it felt like everybody in the place was practically yelling to be be heard by their table mates. This is a post pandemic change, as this used to be a fairly quiet place. We’ve eaten here many Fridays and Saturdays in the past 5 years, including since reopening, and it was never this loud. (Our server told us that Wednesday, Thursday and Sundays are much quieter. . There is also outdoor dining, and we may need to do that as the weather warms. Our server was excellent. She gave us time to look at the menu; we were not rushed. Our Pear Salad and Ribeye steak dinners were excellent, but we could not finish it as the restaurant was loud to the point of discomfort and we had to leave without having dessert coffee. Oh I ordered a glass of Syrah, and it was bad almost vinegar y. Our server gladly exchanged it for a Coppola wine, but even that did not taste of Coppola quality. Hmmm… Hopefully, the owner will get some sound absorbent panels up soon."
