I didn't stay there long. It was too loud. That was weird. Owner Tom Noubari said the setup is intentional, down to the music that is louder on the chatty side of the room. It gives people more variety.
People get tired of the same thing.
A plus on the quiet side of the room are two computers with free Internet access via DSL line, installed by request of customers wanting to elude their workplace Internet gestapo. It's customers who also got Noubari to adjust his menu. I'm glad we did it. It turned out to be a good move. See a listing of past restaurants reviewed in the section online.
