4friends, two from out of town wanted a friendly place to have drinks and dinner. A bit loud, the music, but not that bad. We could talk reasonably which we love. Shouting over loud music or loud conversations of other people is tough and really not fun. We did enjoy our time and the food was delicious. Please turn down the sound a bit and maybe there would be more people.
