Service was excellent. Food was excellent. Noise level was unnecessarily loud and definitely diminished our enjoyment of this establishment. Do you really need to play the music so loudly? When we kindly requested that the music be turned down, we were met with an indifferent and very annoying, "well, maybe, but only a little bit." Not sure if I will go back.
