Noise was moderate and we were still able to hear the music and hear each other talking. Food was wonderful and filling and service was wonderful

We were seated in the greenhouse, which was cold, glass, and not cozy. The service and food were very good, but I was not impressed with the dessert selection and the 2 we got were just okay. I would return, but maybe to the Side Door which looked very cozy.
