    Nice Restaurant, however very difficult to have a conversation while dining. Pretty much had to yell so they could hear us across the table. Server was very attentive, upbeat and eager to please. Waitress even agreed that music was way to loud. I understand they are trying to create an exciting atmosphere, but sometimes too many sequins ruin the dress.

    Food and service was outstanding but the music was way too loud. We were unable to carry on a normal conversation amongst the four of us at the table.
