Please train hosts on how to read the customer. We’re older and in our 60s in a first date. We would have liked a warm cozy space. But they don’t understand that. Thankfully, we decided to just sit at the bar and had a wonderful time talking. And the noise level was way too loud for us. It was quieter at the bar.
