Noisy Restaurants: A painful experiance

I have to agree and it's really too bad the food at both places is just great. I assume they calculate that the buisness lost is not worth the expence of an accoustic engineer, some fabric and carpet.

Noisy Restaurants: A painful experiance

Twice in the last few weeks I have been to good restaurants with great food that have been so noisy that I couldn't participate in conversations with my fellow diners and in the end my ears actually hurt by the time the meal was completed.

It's a pity, but I will not be returning to these establishments in so much as a very nice meal has been turned into an unpleasant experience because restaurateurs will not spend what it takes to provide their customers with a pleasant dining experience at a reasonable noise level.

Most recent on the list of never to return; Voltaire, Umi Sake House, Olives Wine Bar.

Has anyone else had similar experiences? Care to share the names of offenders?

Something in Seattle

Try, Umi Saki House, Boat Street Cafe, Black Bottle or Union. All great however the Saturday night thing might be difficult.

Good luck and good eating.

bbq in seattle

Willies Taste of Sole on Rainier Avenue South, which is a new and larger location. Willies' has been far and away a sure thing for many years, but may have some QC issues at the new and larger location-, hope Will stays on top of it.

Home of Good BBQ, 19th anf Yessler.

Both places have been reliable in the past.

SPAM.....Who buys it?

I eat it, Kuai Family Restaurant (Seattle); fried on toast, mustard and mayo. I buy it also, but only one can a year (we can't always indulge to the degree we might want to).

Anyone been to Cremant lately?

Yes, it still rocks. It's still expensive, you can still go in your jeans,

Looking for good mail order pepperoncini...

Any luck? These are the peppers I also remember, love and have been searching for for years. Great memories of pepper sandwiches that cannot be duplicated by the Greek variety.
